Art Advice, Tips, Tricks and Resources

[-J-]

I've seen a number of threads from artists with some fantastic work here, but I wanted to start this thread in the hopes of bringing the rest of us (like yours truly) up to speed. My hope is that some of the artists who frequently share their work here will be able to answer some questions and offer some helpful tools, tutorials and just general advice.

A few links to get you started:

• Brandon Schaefer's "Learn to Draw" tutorial series: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL...yjYaMJuK0a
  
• GIMP, my free art program of choice: https://www.gimp.org/downloads/
  
• Hexels, a grid-based art program which was featured on a recent Humble Bundle: https://www.marmoset.co/hexels/
