Dip pen thread.
I've been wanting to start with dip pens and I've heard a lot of conflicting information about how to get the coating that the nibs come with off. I was told burning them with a candle is the most effective way, but other sources have strongly advised against it because it can warp the metal.
Also, how important is the brand of ink you use? Which one do you prefer?

burning is ok, if the metal turns red, you've gone too far. A couple passes through a lighter will do.
I've only ever used speedball stuff when I messed with nibs. I plan to get back into traditional line work soon, so I'll have to experiment.

I use deleter paper so I use their ink too.

I'm interested to hear about your experiences with art workshops or other online services offering art education be it CGMA, conceptart.org LEVEL UP!, pencilkings.com oor whatever else you used and how it helped you if it did.

workshops are garbage, take the actual classes or a mentorship on patreon.
CGMA, schoolism, some of the learnsquared shit is good. If you're gonna do a mentorship make sure the teacher is worthwhile, like james paick, john park.

So there is only 1 person here who used any of them?

Take with a grain of salt or outright ignore all career/industry advice. It will become dated by the time you can apply it, if not already.
Anything that strengthens foundation, sure.
How to use a program, sure. (but if you cant figure out 80 percent of this on your own you are helpless)
But at some point this stuff serves as more entertainment than education.
taste + discipline will produce decent to good results.

Ignore me , i'm just a passing-by faggot . I have a tumblr for over 4 years now and i've seen the art community and shit and i was planning to post my art more often and actually make a serious blog with my art on it after i go to college but i've seen some people using also wordpress and other blogging platforms. So , my question is , why do you use tumblr/wordpress/blogger whatever you are using ? And your experiences on other platforms and such ? I want to make a wordpress website for my portofolio and webcomic but i'm sceptic a little. Is it flexible ? Is it customizable ?

People use Tumblr for exposure. There's a lot of people on there and you can get your work seen by a lot of people. It's also simple and easy to use.
Wordpress I've seen mostly by people running their own site, and it has a good degree of customization as far as I'm aware. There's even a plugin for comics called Comicpress, IIRC.

Hey guys, about a week ago I and my partner launched our web comic "Death, Acceptance and Everything In-Between". I know it seems like shameless promotion (and to some extent it is) but we're really aiming to find the most raw criticism that we could get. I'd really appreciate it if you took the time to read it and give some feedback about whatever you think needs improved.
Here's the link to it: http://tapastic.com/episode/274644

This thread is meant for artists who might want to try to make stylized work in-between their studies. It is strongly recommended that you use this thread in conjunction with learning the elements and fundamentals of art. You can also discuss the visual elements of various professional artists as well if you keep it relatively articulate and civil.
Submit your drawings, receive feedback or critique others! Share your knowledge and remember to thank those who've critiqued or red-lined your drawings. Most importantly, have fun!

Do you really think your opinion is important enough to have not just posted this in any of the other X modern and contemporary hatewank threads active at the moment?
