A word for artists. Resources and moreFirst of all, I've been hella active lately and I hope you guys enjoy it, because there's more coming, lol. The reason is while I've always taken my career seriously, I committed too many mistakes in my path, may you learn from it and avoid it. After I got out art school, I started teaching myself digital art and eventually freelancing, don't be fooled for a second, while you can arrange your own schedule, learn at your own pace and there's a lot of flexibility, it's incredibly hard, because there's no guidance, there's no one pushing you to reach the next level, everything comes from your own will to improve, thus you can slack like a motherfucker and simply get stuck.
I've come to realize that's exactly one of my main issues.
I've tried to get formal education, not fine art bullshit, where you will learn little useful techniques to actually work in the field (I already did that), but my particular circumstances preclude me to do so, specifically living in a country where you're

Ok.
This is my first tutorial, so I'm not really too sure what I am doing, so if there are any mistakes please let me know and I will fix them as soon as I can!

I know this isn't a super detailed tutorial, and I fully realise that I am not the best artist in the world and I am certainly not saying that my way is the perfect/ right way to do things.

But if I can offer even one piece of advice that helps people then I feel that that is a good thing.
SO I hope that some people find some use out of this as it will be worthwhile then

And as always comments are much appreciated.

5 Reasons you should learn photography manually!

^Kaz-D Jun 18, 2013 34 comments

I once met someone who was determined not to use a D-SLR until he had mastered a Manual Camera first. I thought he was a bit stuck up, maybe a little arrogant of his own abilities too...but actually, he was right. You will not truly value Photography until you go right back to basics and learn ho...
