This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The left side has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
Thanx for the compliment, and I'd be glad to share with you "what I know", which isn't really a lot.
I'm basically a self-taught artist, and was blessed with a God-given talent, so I don't have a lot of technical advice for you.
I guess the main thing I find when working with Prisma colored pencils is to "build" them up slowly, and end up THICK! I usually start with a good quality WHITE art paper, and when I'm done you can't see any of the original paper!
Very much like oil painting, "building" one color upon another. The beauty of Prisma colored pencils is that you don't have to wait a day in between layers!
Another trick I do, is first put some color down, and when it gets thick enough, blend it together. They make special colorless pencils for that. I've used all kinds of stuff, Q-tips, Paper blending sticks, even cigarette butts! (I don't smoke though)
You can use Prisma color Markers too. I sometimes lay down a "base-coat" with markers first, and then use pencils on top. It seems to save quite a bit on the pencils.
One more thing is, when you get your drawing to a certain point and you seem to keep smearing it with your hand, I spray it with a quick-dry fixitive. You can get that at your art store, just tell them what you are trying to do.
I break ALL the rules when it comes to drawing...I just experiment with different things until I get something to work the way I want it to.
Hope this helped a little.
If there is ONE thing you need to learn, it's start out small and draw lightly and then build it up!
Feel free to ask me anything anytime...and remember, HAVE FUN WITH IT!!!
