It's Summertime, make your summer filled up with fun activities. Attend workshops from My Little Art Place. Enrollment is now going on!!!

Notes:

We offer workshops whole-year-round both for kids and adults.

You can also visit us at http://www.facebook....ylittleartplace

or call: 409.41.22/ 0916.667.6549 for more information.

Come back, Mylap!! It's time to post an update on your Manila art workshops for kids!!

How about some photos too?!

If anyone is actually making any money out of selling their art - and especially if they are making a living at it, then I would love to hear from you!

Personally, I just do it for fun. But, then again, it would be rather nice to get a little bit of beer money for all of my efforts!!

check and see my Artworks in my blog at http://steptomydreams.blogspot.com/ and i'm accepting suggestion and comments I'm an amateur artist God bless and take care

It's good to see that your blogspot blog is still going. Interesting stuff!

Don't forget to drop by here from time to time too. We miss you!!

Ah, OK!! Thanks for that. ('Looks like a minor typo in the topic title, then...)

I was just trying to get some activity going in the forums... Don't ask me why but for some reason, the image view counters and a whole lot of other stuff with the site will not update unless we get some activity by logged-in members in the forums?

I have been told by the developers of the software on which the site runs, that I can set up some "cron jobs" on the server. Whatever that means?!! But that sort of stuff is all a bit over my head...

I have also been busy in the forums deleting some old dead and spammy links. Apparently, Google doesn't like that sort of stuff. (It's probably one reason why artfreaks.com has all but disappeared off the radar...) I've got a lot of work to do there, as the site has been around for quite a while now and it accumulated a lot of junk in the past.
 

We will get there in the end!

Work sounds good to me right now... I just need to watch out for those lying recruiters!!

Well,

This is an awesome website only for "Art Freaks" artists.

This is an awesome site for anyone who is remotely interested in any form of art - including amateur photographers, budding poets, sculptors, caricature and comic artists, film-makers - you name it!!

Check this out! It's a stunning, gorgeous work of art depicting a surreal sunset, (or sunrise?) scene with a lake, a mountain and some very beautiful landscape scenery:

Having deleted some dead links from the post above, I see that the remaining ones are still working. Please do check them out as Satoshi Matsuyama-san has some stunning work.

'Well worth a look!

Hi Artfreak Peeps!

Kamusta and Mabuhay!

I am Rodny and I am a Product Designer and professional Illustrator. I am new here and would like to share some know-how about digital painting in Photoshop. Below images show the process of my painting in photoshop.

Hi Rodny, "Page not found?" Could you upload your images directly to artfreaks.com and reinsert them in your post?

Thanks!

about to post some stuff now actually =] and I've been thinking about putting up a blog on here as well. I just don't have the best track record for keeping up with them, so I'm going see how this one goes first. So maybe here in the next few weeks I'll get one started on here =]

Please feel free to start a blog here at artfreaks.com - And don't worry about keeping up with it! Just post whenever you are in the mood and you have the time. (Just like my own blog... sometimes I don't update it from one year to the next. It doesn't matter - it's not going anywhere!!) I think it is much better to just post something when you are in the right frame of mind and you have something to say...

Here at artfreaks.com, there is no pressure to do anything. It's one of the benefits of belonging to a website that has a very lazy owner!!

Betty Edwards is good, I have two of her books and agree with most of her theories.

However, I do not think it is necessary to go through so complicated exercises. The time can be used more effectively...

Thanks very much for your contribution to artfreaks.com. Your insights and the sharing of your knowledge are greatly appreciated!

I would just like to add my own two pennies worth...

In my own personal opinion, gained after my own experience, I don't think that the exercises described in the book are complicated at all. They are very easy to do and, again - in my own personal opinion - well worth the time and the effort!

Of course, there is always something else to do, with which we can use our time more effectively... I think that most of us would be quite hard-put to use our drawing skills to save the planet, for instance?!!

However, if you do choose to spend some of your time learning how to draw, I do think that the time spent doing some of the exercises in the book would be very well spent.

Some of those exercises in Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain were a real revelation to me! Hey... I even managed to do a reasonably passable self-portrait!!

Number 1, below, was literally my first ever attempt at a self-portrait and number 2 was the result of my efforts after doing the "upside down" drawing exercise...

Gruesome!

Never heard of it! What's all that about then?

Video Scribing, eh! Well, what is that all about then?!

A good bit of advice there, from Jennifer.

Jennifer Blekinsopp is an expert artist, so she is well-worth listening to!

As Jennifer says, fixatives are the key to painting in layers, when doing pastel painting. But you really do need to get hold of a top quality fixative, if you want to maintain the vibrancy of the colours of your pastels. Note, also, that Jennifer does not fix the final layer. I am with her all the way on that one...

Studying the work of past masters is a great way to improve your art but first, you have to learn the basics...

Find a good art class, if you can. It's a great way of getting to meet like-minded people too.

There are so many good books out there too. Buy a few and find one that you like - and then work your way through it from cover to cover. Then...

Branch out on your own! Let your imagination fly. Experiment. And come up with your own style!

... it does work. I need to update my own blog as I now have had a 4th gallery contact me to represent my work, all based on a mailing of an art package and brochure!

Very good!

And the link still works - so that's a bonus!

If anyone has any photos to share... You can either post them in the artfreaks.com Gallery - or you can simply upload them directly to your post in the forums. The choice is yours!

When you reply to a topic, you will see something like:  "Drag files here to attach - or choose files..."

Just like this... (See? Simple!!)

Keep these coming!

You can use artfreaks.com as your image server - no problem!

Come back, FunkyBoy! It's time for some more art!!

OK, so it was a silly question... And no one else seems to have any questions for this forum.

Oh well, no problem... Here are a few brief answers to some real questions:

Since Lim closed down all the food and live music venues on the Baywalk, years ago, the place is good for a stroll and watching the famous Manila Bay sunset - and that's about it, these days...
