By John Jude PalencarIn the previous installments of “Tips and Tricks” we’ve covered Brushes and Palettes.. There were some great suggestions/ input on palettes provided by the readers of this blog. Thanks for your tips. Next in the chain is the “workstation”. I’m not talking about your studio per say but the immediate area surrounding your painting or illustration. In my early days I had a small drawing table that my parents purchased as a gift....

by DonatoChristopher Moeller had a wonderful post two days ago about what it was like to begin his career in the arts after school. I thought I would follow it up with advice I have given to artists seeking direction on the path of learning, before they get to school. A bit late for those of you just graduating this coming month, but hopefully still applicable in the developing years after...I just graduated from high school and I'm wondering about...
Jesper EjsingToday I want to continue down the path I was a couple of articles back, The encountering monster road. This illustration is for the cover of Descent – Road to Legend by Fantasy Flight Games. The cover on the box is changed slightly compared to the acrylic original. What I share with you is the painting version that has not been altered too much in computer. The description was very simple: “Heroes vs Monster outside somewhere”. I did...

-By Chris MoellerThe one emotion every newly-minted art school graduate experiences is anxiety. Can I really make it? What do I do now? All my friends are getting jobs making $50,000 a year. Where does that leave me? I’ll be lucky to get a job delivering pizza.I graduated from the University of Michigan School of Art back in 1985, ready to take the illustration world by storm. Until that moment, my life had been mapped...
by Arnie FennerThank God for small presses; fueled almost exclusively by passion and rarely motivated by profit (which is why I buy from them direct as often as I can as a show of support), the small independent publishers strive to preserve and advance the art form. And in many cases they help promote important creators who might otherwise slip through the cracks of history and into obscurity.That's why I was extremely happy to get a copy of Robert...
One of my early art heroes was Robert Vickery. Next to Andrew Wyeth was one of the premiere practitioners of egg tempera. Sadly Mr. Vickery passed away at age 84 in April of 2011. He started out as an illustrator completeing 77 Time Magazine covers before setting off into the world of fine arts. I did get a chance to meet him at group exhibit that I had work in when I was much younger. He was the featured artist. To really appreciate his work...

By Petar MeseldžijaThe painting brush is a simple, yet powerful device. The trace that it leaves upon the canvas is a wonderful phenomenon - a marvelous present to us, and a precious legacy to the people of the future. Just as the spoken word that carries a certain energy, both physical and emotional , so does the brushstroke carry the energy and the meaning, too. By placing the brushstrokes next to each other, the artist...
