Wow, this is great! I knew some basic shading techniques, but I never considered the whole perspective thing. I definitely learned something new! Great work!

Wow, I really wish my art teachers could've explained shadows like this, i have the hardest time with shading. I can't wait to try this out on some doodles and then apply to drawings

Helpfull for me, this trick is something I didn't use. I always shaded out of "feeling", but this might work greatly

what the hell is a "DD"???!? and why are 990 people leaving me massages??!?!

LisaGorska In reply to Ratrien [2010-09-27 07:36:44 +0000 UTC]

DD = daily deviation. scroll down ot the bottom of the page and you'll see several thumbnails. above them there's a writing "You are viewing Daily Deviations". almost everyone has that band of thumbnails.

daily deviation means your tut appeared there for everyone to click. that's why you have 990 comments

actually...As a wanna-be-free-knowledge-spreader I feel like I finally found the right way to reach peoplez...
But as an artist, I feel like crap...my art, apparently, ain't worth shit...it never got this kind of attraction or recognition... I need a hug

aw, come on. hate to bring it to ya, but popularity in dA isn't as good as you imagine. sometimes the things they award a DD are... urgh. don't sweat it. it's like being a superstar. ozzy ozbourne is a superstar, and so is britney spears. does it speak something about their quality as musicians? not really... it just speaks bad about society's choices, lol.

I'm not one hundred percent sure what a DD is, but I do know that pieces here are often suggested to be put in a collection of meaningful or moving pieces that can be seen at the bottom of search pages. Then, some one with the power to do so will choose some to be featured each day. The messages would be the comments, probably
And here's mine! This was amazing! You blew my mind with one of them, but then you explained it perfectly
