Someone commented on one of my photographs that it was a “beautiful capture”. It made me feel like it was just a snapshot. Some photographs out there are so digitally manipulated they no longer seem to be real images; they are still stunning, but can you still call them photographs? I honestly don’t know. Photographers have been manipulating images from day one, instead of the computer, it was the dark room. I guess I take umbrage that if my photograph isn’t presented with a thousand filters, appears with a cursive watermark, and isn’t artistic in some way, that my photograph is somehow invalid. #Photography #Photographer #PhotographerRant #Art #ArtAdvice #ArtRant

Alright friends, the time has come to get super official and make some business cards :blobfoxbongo:
What do we think of this? #feedback welcome and appreciated!

I bought a canopy tent for the makers market! ITS PURPLE 💜💜💜
Now I need some business cards and to get some prints made - does anyone have a recommendation for prints?
#Artists and #Creatives: I just painted a Red Cross on my new white first aid box. I used masking tape but it bled through. I tried to clean the edges as best I could but…it’s not perfect. When I look at it, I focus on the imperfections. Experience tells me if I keep going, I’ll overwork or ruin the piece.
How do you let go when you’re in a similar situation. How do you evaluate your work? Are you ever able to love it? Does it astound and confuse you when other non-creatives tell you how amazing it is, or do you just think they’re lying to you?

Soooo… I’m buying two 3’x4’ canvases today - my biggest ever!! What should I paint on them?

I’m stuck! What goes on the vase? My first instinct is always a snake 🐍 but I do those often and I’m trying to draw new things 😊
Color suggestions welcome as well!

Writing several different versions of an idea in a row can help you hone in on what it is you're trying to capture.
I think of it like shining a light into the dark room of musical potential. You start to get a sense of the layout, and what direction your next few steps lie in.
OK… I got a couple of good tips for watercolor tape with my last question, so here’s #help ask number 2:
I got these silver #jewelry findings, with the plan to make tiny watercolor pendants with them. I was planning to use #EpoxyResin to seal & finish them, but now I’m wondering if it wouldn’t be better to use glass cabochons & #JewelersEpoxy?
Any helpful advice out there in #MastoArt world?

Send help....I'm reading a book about...marketing... 😫
Other artists out there, got any good suggestions for learning how to be seen in this vast sea of content? Book suggestions, videos, courses?
Archived some project pages today. It's important to give yourself that release valve — "I'm deciding not to pursue this one" — so you don't buckle under a mountain of unfinished work.
I liked these ideas! But there will always be more good ideas, and we only have so much time and energy to turn them into works of art.

Alright so I'm a terribly disorganized artist these days and I've got two weeks to order a few limited runs of prints for the art market I'm doing April 1st.
So! #ArtistsOfMastodon where do you recommend ordering prints of illustrations from? BONUS if I don't have to order hundreds of copies to get decent prices and I need a pretty incredible turnaround time.
I'm down to make it interesting and compensate whoever recommends the best place with a free 9x12" original illustration. May the odds be ever in your favor 😂

hey artists of mastodon!!!
I am a beginner artist and I want to learn how to create 2d art, however, I don't know many good resources where I can learn artistic skills, and those that I have at my disposal are usually just youtube tutorials which I don't know how to apply to my practical experience. is there a systematic way to learn how to draw art, where should ii start and get the anatomy/perspective right? any resources?
thank you

I discussed it a little on twitter so I wanna mention it here too since I think more people could benefit from it!
Doing freelance commission work is quite literally...
75% customer service
25% art
No, that really isn't an exaggeration!

Looks like I managed to add some metallic texture in the end... I'm pretty new to painting weapons, but since my D&D character's story has been so influenced by his self-made magic rapier, I figured I needed to step out of my confort zone! This is actually a redesign, since my first attempt didn't make a lot of sense.
Anyway, any advice on designing and painting fantasy weapons? I'm all ears.
