Hello everyone,
The contest is over! First and foremost I would like to thank all of you for your contribution and effort!
This is the list of participants:
kharastir.deviantart.com/art/s… - Kharastir
guardiandragon1.deviantart.com… - GuardianDragon1
skinnyveestamp.deviantart.com/… - Versipeli
jiangxi.deviantart.com/art/Ser… - Jiangxi
trinitite.deviantart.com/art/S… - Trinitite
sunmoondragoness.deviantart.co… - SunMoonDragoness
And the winner is... SunMoonDragoness !
I very much enjoyed the double symbolism, the growth from sketch to a finished and polished picture, together with the growth from a closed flower, not yet ready to reveal it's true form, to a beautiful rose. This I think, is how an artist grows. At first they will produce sketches, unpolished work that is not particularly special to outsiders, but if you give it time, sunshine and water (encouragement and critique), they will unfold into something amazing . Congratulations and well done!

Please do not submit work to the 'Featured' folder
Hello everyone,
This is a general notification that concerns the purpose of the 'Featured' folder. All of the other folders are pretty self-explanatory - Studies and Practice, Finished Works, etc. The Featured folder, however, is something that I need to clarify in terms of its function.
:star:The Featured folder is a folder dedicated to works that the founder selects for display. These works are selected due to their exemplary display of improvement for the original artist, or displays a helpful tool for others to access and learn from.
:star:The Featured folder is NOT a folder to submit to when you are selecting work to submit to Serious
The Observation Challenge - Deadline Reminder!
Hello fellow Serious Artists!
It's time for our first inter-group challenge! This challenge's subject is Observation, as a follow-up on our last blog entry, which you can find here. All members may participate! Non-members are obviously welcome to partake in the event if they so choose, but they will not share the members' privilege of being able to receive critique or advice upon request, nor will they be listed in this entry; in short, non-members are on their own, but the value of the practice remains the same for everyone!
Finay day of week 3 folks! Finish your final pieces now and be sure to combine them so I can add them to this entry
The importance of observation.
Hello everyone,
I would like to press this in a blog entry, because I'm starting to repeat myself in my critiques for the Studies & Practices section.
You can't learn anything new from what's already in your head.
If you don't actually study something, you can hardly call the result a study. I feel as though the skill of observation is being underrated, which is surprising, because I'm not exaggerating when I say that over half of any artist's skill is due to their ability to observe, if not more. Therefor, if you do not train your observation skills and practice purely your drawing ability, you really won't make much progress.
So for any
