This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!

omg. I feel inferior now xP you are so much better the artist than I am. *purposeful grammar fail* This is the other mormon ace btw. I must now go take a closer look at your gallery >_>
Thanks! Good luck with getting better and be glad you have a tablet, lol. I learned by just drawing every day. Make it part of who you are and it will come naturally with time.
hey becky, i see ur video on vimeo, and i really enjoy the video, i'm ur fan because i have a tablet wacom bambo, and i dont know, nothing about paint, and u with a mouse own me xD, congrats +fav

rofl in ma copter will ya?!
and if your bored outta ur mind i suppose you could check ma crap
Yeah, one of the reasons I suggested speed is that when I first found speed painting it was after I'd been drawing from reference for awhile and got bored. Speed drawing may help to shake you out of a normal routine (although to be perfectly honest, when I started getting into it, it felt like a pointless pain in the butt; trust me, though, its worth it). You can do a ton of 2 minute ones and then when you feel comfortable with that time, shave it down to a minute or something crazy like that...THEN give yourself 20 minutes. You draw crazy fast.
thnks, i got 3 years of military service to get better before i go to school for graphic design and thankfully i learn pretty quickly. haven't really tried to improve my speed, worth a shot tho. should be alittle easier once i get my Cintiq 12wx on thursdayish

Sure! Sorry if it sounds generic (i hated generic answers to this question when I was starting out), but make sure you draw just about every day. And don't ever believe there is one linear way to get 'good.' Everyone learns differently. What I did is I made sure I had a healthy dose of tutorials that I'd try out, sketched a lot (try speedpainting; paint something from reference in like...2 minutes. Try doing that over and over again no matter how much it looks like it sucks. If you get used to drawing fast, you can learn faster). This is gross, but I kind of think of it like eating (input) + pooping (output). Eating = reference + artwork that inspires you; basically stuff you take into your brain. Poop = what you draw, or what comes out of your brain. You need to eat more than you poop; input must exceed output...otherwise you just end up drawing the same old shit. :b
