Artist's advice on GFX - How to be an artist - Page 6

Firstly Im no better than you guys/gals at graphics at the moment. However know I know that it takes years of practice to get in remotely good which some here claim to be. Well like I said Im currently learning myself. Though sure whatever you want. Biggest problem I see hear is number # 1 Color theory. Which follows as this... know the and learn the entire Color Wheel...It consist of 3 major colors red, yellow and blue. ... these colors can be combined to form other colors such as...green, orange , and purple. You may say what does this have to with understanding photoshop, painting ect.. Well my friend this is only BASSSSIC stuff that most here well everyone here thats posted hasnt MASTERED. Including myself lol.. anyways thats just art theory fundamentals Im talking about without these you guys will fail at every attempt like I did and still do untill I master the these fundamentals. Also perspective.... learn vanishing points, and most of all EYE LEVELS in your pieces. Also most here well everyone here has no sense of design cluding me... so um thats basically it in nutshell theres billions of things but cant mentiont hem all. Have fun mastering these and I wish you all the best. Though I dont plan to be a graphics artist painting digitally will force me to be labeled as somewhat a graphics artist lol.. so.. If this forum still be alive in 5-6 years from now.. I'll post up some stuff and show that um.. with practice and hardwork you can become professional at art. but by then um.. it wont matter will have nothing to prove.. well to a couple people here who always never liked my stuff or me lol.. thats another story though :suspect:

ALSO to all the so called "graphic-artist" out there. Umm please try do other things besides ABSTRACT, VECTORS AND SPLASHES. Try to actually DRAW something instead of letting the PROGRAM control you to your limits. Ha yah well I need to work on all these things aswell so we are ALL in the same BOAT. No one here is better or not capable of learning the technical side of art. Then we can truely see how artistic you are once you know all the technical aspects. but anyways this is just my two cents on the matter.

Digital art has the exact same rights to be called "art" as traditional art does (drawing, painting etc.) If somebody prefers digital art to traditional, thats entirely acceptable, both styles have the same "rights". And program's dont control limits, theres just as much possible via digital art as there is with traditional, for instance, look at http://alyn.deviantart.com and try to tell me there isn't... Digital art is just as good as Traditional[/quote]
i agree... art is not something you make with strokes of your hand( and dont think nasty plz )... art is what you can make from what you have at hand... dunt tell me eifel tower made from rice crispies isnt art, or a gingerbread whitehouse (which i made) isnt art... and cmon last time i checked i didnt see any1 trying to go back to the basics to improve... were making banners that would look pleasing to the eye... i dunt care if its warped or out of persepective or whatnot, if the final product is nice an appealing then that deserves good credit... and if it came to drawing or painting by hand... u guys would stand no chance against me... tim stop being such a hater.
