.:Things Every OC Bio Should Include:.
~Basic Bio Breakdown~
NAME: You should provide the character’s full name, even if it’s not what they go by. If they go by something else, include it in the same category like so: Joshua “Josh” Nickelson.
AGE: If your character is in a timeline where it’s simple enough just to list one age or a range of ages for them, then by all means, please do so. If you have a long, complicated series or a lot of time that passes in your book, show a birth year for your character instead—something we can measure things to.
APPEARANCE: This should contain everything there is to know about your character visually withou

Finding Inspiration When You're Feeling Uninspired by themandii, journal
Finding Inspiration When You're Feeling Uninspired
I know a lot of people here, who are hobbyists, tend to only draw when they feel some form of inspiration to do so. While professionals don't really have that luxury more often than not, a little inspiration can go a long way! People ask me all the time where I get my ideas from (past/present ideas).
Don't force it - if you try too hard to make something work, it will definitely show in your art. Loosen up about it or take a break if you've made multiple attempts and still feel dissatisfied with what you're working on. Check out other artists - Artbooks, other Deviants' galleries, documentaries, actual art galleries/museums... go out and ABS

Find your way around DA #6: Anatomy
One of the basic skills in art is anatomy. Although it sometimes may seem as if an artist doesn't bother about the anatomical corectness of their characters (cartoons, anime, caricature), you can be sure that they know perfectly well how to draw it if they had to: Know the rules, so you can break them all the better.
Unfortunately that's much, much easier said than done: Learning anatomy is bloody hard. It takes time and dedication to learn just the basics, and even established artists often struggle with it. Luckily many people have gone before us, and some of them have been kind enough to make tutorials, to hopefully make it just a tin
As a follow up of my "How to: Anatomy" journal that was received so well by the community, I will continue this series with a how to on color.
Color is considered to be one of the hardest subjects when it comes to art. Most beginners (and even some advanced artists) struggle to get the colors of their work right. I myself do as well. This journal is by no means a full coverage on how to color. It will however be a good list of resources to get you started on this hard subject.
A few things to get started
There are a few things to color
There's hue and value. Hue determines what place in the color spectrum the color is in (red, green, blue..

Find your way around DA #5: Coloring and Shading
In a previous journal we had a look at color theory (Find your way around DA #3: Color Theory). But once you've figured out what colors to use you realize you've barely started. You have to figure out where to place your shadows and light, and what is the best way to add the colors to your canvas?
In this journal I've collected tutorials and references that cover these subjects. This list is not complete! There are so many tutorials on DA, especially for coloring, it would be almost impossible for me to list them all. When an artist has multiple coloring tutorials I've usually picked only one or two, so be sure to check out their galleries!
