Helpful Links for Artists
This page has links to ideas, tutorials, and other information I find very important.
Artists (illustrators gone rogue):
* Frank Frazetta: Without question, this man was the Grand Master of fantasy art. His paintings have inspired countless artists across the globe. I have no doubt that history will honor him just as we remember and honor the great masters from the 15th century.* Jonathan Wayshack: This guy may be the best pen and ink artist on the planet at this time. Be fore-warned that his subject matter could be more than you can handle. If you can look past your cultural barriers, then you'll have access to images that display extreme skills with ink and composition.
* Mike Butkus: is one of the most dynamic artist around. What I like best about his work is the pencil renderings.
Seems he has mastered every medium you can think of, but his pencil work still stands out as my favorite. He is also one of the most hard working and successful artists.
You may find yourself gazing at his work for days on end.
* Sam Keith: Let's don't forget this guy! You have to go thru a lot of rough sketches and great paintings and on and on...but then you begin to see his style as a whole. You will also start to understand the stories and where he's coming from too.
The only thing I can say, he's an awesome artist and creator.
Sane Artist (I think ?):
* Stephanie Pui-Mun Law: This gal has mastered the use of Watercolor. You'll see some amazing and creative work on her site.* Socar Myles: Her pen and ink work is beyond great. You will find a master of the ink on her site.
Photography... or, is it art? :
* Claire Steele, Thesteeleshutter. This lady knows a thing or two about using a camera. Her work is more than simply a grouping of nice photos.
I noticed that she also has skills that bleed her camera work over into
creative arts. Her ability to assemble a complete composition of her
ideas into a finished product is amazing. Take your time going through
her site while enjoying her brilliant photography.
Artists Supplies:
* Compare Watercolor Papers: Roni over at 'Ink Stains' gives a nice little comparison of some papers for wet media, and talks about her results.* A very helpful review of portable art pads. If you are into moleskines, or just want to know your best option for pocket art pads, then check this site out.
* Prismacolor Colored Pencils: Here is a nice web site that explains all you may want to know about colored pencils from Prismacolor.
* This Blog is ran by an artist that paints with Gouache. If you are interested in that medium, then take a look at his very interesting posts on the subject.
