Howdy! My art is typically performance, however, I also dabble in landscape painting. I've done two paintings with acrylic, and 4 with watercolor. I just started a new painting, but this time, I'm going to try my hand with oil pastels.

[Cross]

generally my main focus is comic art/storytelling and i use pencils, ink, copics, and watercolors on a weekly basis. if i ever have the time i'd like to venture more into some oil paintings.

*waves* 

I.. *deep breath*

 

Am learning Oil Painting and Acrylics. I have played with Watercolor. I also draw, Ink, and doodle. I've become more known for my Acrylic Pour paintings, but I'm just a creative in general. 

[Liitha]

Ok for me I have dabled in drawing sketches in the past, and also scanned and coloured it in on the computer at times. Mostly I just deal with photo manipulation based on others free pictures that I am finding in databases like pixabay though.

 

Also last year I got a set with pens that I wanted for Christmas, after being inspired by Lian and wanted to try learning a bit of shading with inking - I don't draw the pictures myself, just colour them in with inking techniques in colouring books.

Hello. I've been strictly working with acrylic on canvas for a couple of years. 

 

I never considered myself an artist until I gave it a whirl, and now I'm hooked. 

[JamesBrown]

Thanks for setting this up, @Liitha

[Nargbert]

Hello, I'm name is Nargbert and I'm a Trolloc.  I knew I was a trolloc from a young age. At 3 I ripped the arm of my friend and my parents just said "so cute!".  I just ... dont... *sobs*... know what to... do!

 

What? Wrong boards? Oh... uh.. well hi!

 

I do photography things. Have digital cameras and a 4x5 fim camera. My photoshop skillz are also half way ok. Mostly I have just been shooting kids sports because dang they wear me out! I have also been dabbling in drawing... wouldn't call that art currently, more an... abomination!

[Lavandula]

*hides pan behind back* welcome narg, so nice of you joining us, willingly...on your own? I can't wait to see your pics!

[The Spare of Time]

MM 

?

I've dabbled in all of the traditional art medium (just long enough to get past the growing pains stage).

I'm constantly tempted to jump into a new creative style/medium/materials. 

 

Ive been 95% WOT themed digital art since the famous "Table Read" video broke & have a few dozen digital paintings (of various skill level) to show my self-taught digital progress. 

 

I'm looking forward to meeting you all & sharing our knowledge/experiences. 

 

[Liitha]

Welcome, glad to see you found us

 

We got a fan art challenge going now in events...would love to have you join us, and feel free to set up your own personal work space in the schetchbook section ?

 

Looking forth to see more of your stuff, i still chuckle at the broken wheel in our banner at times...got to love some good humor ?

[Lavandula]

I love that wheel lol

Hi, I'm a calligrapher, meaning that i usually write with historical equipment (dip pens, quills, bamboo) in historical and fantasy scripts. My favourite is Tengwar, the elvish writing system, by Tolkien

Ooooh i always wanted to learn that, found a calligraphy set at a relatives when I was young and a book, was allowed to try and later got to take the set with me, but stuff and time happened so...

 

Any chance you would host a class or do a tutorial in future?

[Lavandula]

Not to put any preassure on but, me too! I love calligraphy and actually got to try a pen once.. They look so beautiful but they can't be that expensive? I mean if you first bought a cheper one too start up, or is this one of the instances where you should buy a good one right away?

Why not, @Liitha and @Lavandula? I've already taught some classes for calligraphy, too. Better in presence, but it can be done all the same

[Liitha]

Yeah just need to do step by steps paintstaicingly i found when I do gimp tutorials or classes

 

Though for me I remember starting out so seeing people's happiness and excitement in breaking the sig making code for me makes it so fun and remind me of when I did that myself...so as long as I got time i love making them..which i guess can be seen on the multiples i threw up since we got the club

 

But would be good to see tutorials in the other branches in club. And normally I find that seeing how they use tools in other genres gives me new ideas for sig making too..
