Hello PaperDemons!
BogusRed, here, reporting live from the interwebs (ok I'm not really live) with some good art related articles for you...
Tips, Tricks, Tutorials, etc
- How BogusRed (that's me!) storyboarded an 8 episode animated series Part 2
- You Aren't Lazy — You're Just Terrified: On Paralysis And Perfectionism. An article about the struggle of being paralyzed by your own perfectionism and how it can prevent you from getting the things done that you truly want to get done. If you feel stuck with your art, I recommend giving this a read as it might help you get unstuck.
- Free figure drawing study practice tool. This tool has great photos of both clothed and nude models for figure drawing practice. It automatically rotates them in intervals you specify (eg. 30 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes, 10 minutes). I've been using this to get practice with my figure drawing.
