The Art Thread <3

[SchylarR]

Alright gals, after getting some positive feedback on the idea, I want to introduce you to THE ART THREAD!!! 🙂

Use this thread to post anything art related. Maybe you have been working on a long-term painting, drew something fun during a subway ride, or just admire all of the great art out there! Feel free to post your own work and/or others' (as long as you give credit, of course!). Don't worry if you aren't the artistically inclined type. Art is for everyone to share, love, and learn from! Post anything from "I saw this cool poster in the mall today" to "my most recent masterpiece". And if you ARE one of the creative types... SHOW. IT. OFF. Go crazy! We all want to see your awesome work! No judgment. Just appreciation. 

Also, here is a list of great art-related websites to use for inspiration in case you are new to the art scene. 🙂 (Please excuse me... I'm a graphic design major so the sites tend to be design-heavy.)

https://www.itsnicethat.com/

https://www.pinterest.com/ (of course!)

(This one is special. With a membership you get access to interactive, SUPER HELPFUL tutorials on basically anything. I use it to figure out Adobe programs when I encounter a technical problem but it can also be used to learn art basics if you are interested! Some colleges provide membership to the website for free so be sure to ask.)

If you would like me to add anything to this list, please feel free to let me know! I am totally down to adding more websites!

@SchylarR Wacom is the best! I have a wacom too. My first tablet was come to think of it, wacom. ... and I'd love to see your illustrations too 🙂 

This was the bloody version lol... I went overboard but colorwise, I like the contrast. 

[SchylarR]

Not overboard at all! I love it! 🙂 @MSena

My sister is autistic. She has had her share of challenges, but one thing that has always helped her through is art!! Art is her therapy, and she is an amazing artist!!! 

She is a MAJOR Star Trek fan, so I’d thought I’d share some of her Star Trek artwork!!

[SchylarR]

Wow! She has an amazing talent! I HAAAAAATE doing portraits so I can definitely appreciate those who love them, not to mention execute them so well! Definitely let her know her work is loved! 🙂 @Shosh85
