Hello everyone!
I drew a face using only triangles and circles. No smooth lines, no blending, just sharp edges and perfect rounds. It was definitely out of my comfort zone as I normally like to create more realistic styles of art. But I really loved how it turned out. I hope you guys do too!

I was inspired by the Pov-Ray style 3D renders, and the lighting effects of blender/other 3D software, plus I don't usually use blender very much.
I also have a Video animation version
It's so impressive that you can use software tools like this to create art. It's certainly well beyond my skills! 😃 I'm amazed at how realistic the light and shadows are---is this something you practise often, or just something you've picked up with Blender?

Hi everyone,
May already! New themes are now up ready for creating. This month, we're going to be focusing on contrast/light vs dark, or switched up styles (so swapping the medium or style that you generally use). I've added the complete instructions below, plus some of my own sketches referenced from the wonderful world of Pinterest :D
Looking forward to what you come up with!

For this month's theme I painted Toothless and the Light Fury from how to train your dragon. It's been a while since I used acrylic, so some of the colouring is off, and there's some interesting perspective happening but I'm fairly happy with how its coming along. It is technically a work in progress right now :)

I love How To Train Your Dragon!! I would argue this piece is just as good; in particular, the blue you've used for the shading stands out since it adds more depth to the painting. Have you considered adding a background? :D

Here is my submission for the monthly theme of Surrealism as well as Mythical Creatures. For this pencil drawing I took reference from a 90's sci-fi anime, Neon Genesis Evangelion, taking into consideration the uncanny and symbolic nature of the character.
This should be in an art gallery! I love how the yellow paper contributes to the sci-fi theme; it definitely reinforces the surrealism theme. The way the skin (is it skin??) folds around the eye is amazing :)

Hi everyone!
Just letting everyone know that if you were still thinking about entering the Neurodiversity Competition, either for photography, creative writing, art pieces, etc... they're still accepting submissions!
Just get the pieces in ASAP by midnight on 27th April and your submissions can still be judged :D

still struggling with artblock, so here's the sketch/planning page i did for this month's themes. quotes were taken from "The Veldt" by Ray Bradbury and "That Funny Feeling" by Bo Burnham.
This is so beautiful. Artists can be inspired by lots of different things so I love how you've used music as your 'muse' this time (weak pun intended). Beautiful shading on the bottom drawing as well!

This month I drew a person holding planets above their head to show the weight of the world. This connects to surrealism because it is unrealistic, like a dream, and uses symbolism. The planets represent pressure, and the image is strange because humans obviously cannot hold space.
I love this! It is deeply symbolic of pressure, and the sketchwork is beautiful. Colour might make it even better, but of course, your choice :D

Hi everyone!
As it's now April, it's time to move onto our next themes. These pieces will be due at the end of May now that we're properly into the school year.
Just a gentle reminder to anyone who hasn't submitted for February/March to send their pieces in within the next week.
Happy creating!
Emily :D
I love this! You're bordering on a Cubism style of art here; it's always difficult to try other ways of creating but you've done really well here. Do you think you'll continue making pieces like this in the future?
