Things I Did That Forced Me To Be A Better Artist:

things i did that forced me to be a better artist:

used a reference for everything

thinner line art (you think thats thin? go thinner….)

sketch, then do a cleaner sketch, THEN start finalizing

THUMBNAILS

color research, picking a set palette or light/dark for each work

you like that pose? redo it one more time

USE A DAMN REFERENCE

do not rely on stylization as an excuse for anatomy

draw the goddamn background you coward

just draw the hand- a bad hand is better than a hidden hand

the rule of thirds WORKS

take a considerable break between sketch and lines/paint

know that art takes longer as you get better at it

draw the seams on clothes

stop aiming for accuracy and focus on fluidity and motion, accuracy will come with practice of those two concepts

just…do the chiaroscuro. just DO IT. no excuses it always works

stop making excuses, make yourself an art schedule/set weekly(or daily) art goals and just DO IT.

Flourish Magazine

Welcome to Flourish Magazine, an online zine created by @technicoloroses/ @highlitvrs.

What Is FM?

Who can work on the zine?

Any author, poet, or artist under the age of eighteen can contribute! Work from all three of these mediums will be featured in the magazine!

We will also need editors! This is pretty self-explanatory, but their role will be to give authors feedback on their work and suggest ways to improve it. 

Finally, we need graphic designers! These are the people that will be formatting our magazine! They will need to be able to work with issuu, as that is where our magazine will be shared.

How Do I Sign Up?

Artist

Graphic Designer

Other Information

Each magazine will be loosely based around a theme, which will be voted on by the staff. The staff will communicate via a server on Discord. 

Any questions? Contact me on tumblr for the fastest response.
