What an amazing resource! This person has created a database of swatches for hundreds of watercolors from many different brands, so artists can see what different paints will look like. It feels like the a piece of the old internet, straightforward and helpful. 👌❤️ watercolordragons.com/feed
A screenshot of a part of the "Watercolor Dragons" website, showing a row of different paint swatches. Each swatch shows the color, how it granulates, its transparency, as well as the brand name and pigments used.

a friend of mine didn't know this trick which surprised me, so have a fun fill hack for those stubborn crunchy pixels that wont fill so you dont have to manually paint them in
Lazy? Me too :) 1. merge color layers, duplicate them. 2. Select tool the bg, invert select. 3. Filter > blur. Magic, wow, clean, cool neat awesome ooo aaa

They're wearing a long gothic gown that's sleeveless and mostly black with loose purple fabric in the middle and a decorative corset, with beaded bracelets. The model is seen waist up in profile as they are holding up a skull and looking at it fondly.

I've been asked a few times how to tone in CSP the less-easy way (not using screen filter). The advantage of this method is that everything is EXTREMELY customizable with the right layer organization.

This is more of a "menu explainer" than a true guide, but it may help!

badly done and very brief little guide about contrast when thinking about composition! this is really just the tip of the iceberg, but it is something i think about a lot! if you take one thing from this, its that composition is ALL about relationships between the elements. (1/2)

October is nigh

So once again I repost my very long thread of fifty Ways to Become a Better Artist Without Making Art

#ArtResources 🧵
scazrelet.bsky.social Scazrelet ~ Exultant @scazrelet.bsky.social · Oct 14
It's October and you know what that means - ART CHALLENGES. In light of this I would like to reintroduce a series I did during 2020, when everyone was experiencing massive burnout.

These are ways to improve *without actually making art*.

I'll be posting them in this thread throughout the month.
From a series of tips for artists and creators. The text at the top reads "Ways to become a better artist that don't involve actually making art." Below that is a subtitle that reads "Or how to supplement your 10,000 hours." This is the header panel for tip number 1, entitled "Know you are enough." The quote below the title text reads "Quality is a word that assumes all parties have the same point of view. Judy Elliott." Below this text is an illustration of a three toed sloth, facing away from the viewer, holding up a hand mirror and smiling at the face they sees reflected in it, emoting a small heart above their head. From a series of tips for artists and creators entitled "Ways to become a better artist that don't involve actually making art." This image includes the full set of panels for one tip. The panels will also be posted individually in this thread and will include a full transcription for every panel. The panels themselves consist mostly of text with some images.
