TUTORIAL - Tips for All ArtistsHello everyone!
I have written a tutorial like this before here. But recently I have had more thoughts about it that I decided to share. As you may have noticed, I am not a professional artist, I am a hobbyist and self-taught, and what I will expose here is what I've learnt from my own experience. Even so, I hope this tutorial will be helpful to you!
Another note: English is not my first language, so I apologize if I commit any mistakes.
Feel free to correct my grammar any time, as well as make suggestions or asking questions!
This tutorial is for every kind of artist, but sometimes I will focus more on visual artists (since it's my speciality).
I believe that everyone can be an artist, and this tutorial has not only the purpose of providing advices and tips, but also motivation for all.

DeviantArt for DummiesI am writing this guide for new members or anyone who has questions about deviantART and its members. Please comment if something doesn't make sense or if you need help! Please note, this is NOT a guide to everything on deviantART, just some stuff I thought was worth talking about.
PLZ ACCOUNTS:
What is a "plz" account?
A "plz" account is a deviantART account where the avatar is an emote that you can use in your journals, comments, etc.
How do you use them?
To use them, write :icon(thenameoftheaccount):
An example is :iconsupertighthugplz: which is written as :icon supertighthug plz: (minus the spaces)
Some popular accounts are:
:iconLetmehugyouplz::iconomnomnomnomplz::iconspazhugplz::iconstephencolbertomgplz::iconamgtouchplz::iconawkwardhugplz:
To get the account name, roll your mouse over the image and copy the text you see beginning with an :icon and ending in a :.

Tutorial / WIP : How I make Manga!by =FreakShounen

Resources & Stock Images / Tutorials / Other

CLICK ON THE IMAGE TO ZOOM IN _or DOWNLOAD IT _{(which is annoying, right?)

AND: I'll also be showing you about what you can do about a lot of other manga-effects. I've got a few tricks up my sleeve, and you'll see another tutorial very soon!

WHAT AM I DOING BEFORE MY GEOGRAPHY FINALS? IDK. /shot
Anyways, I'd made this before my art-finals, which went sorta okay. I'll be officially back on the 13th

This is something I came up with on my own, real manga isn't made this way
Anyways, I'm a n00b at making tutorials/WIPs and stuff, so please excuse the weirdness. If there's anything you don't understand, ask away.
If this tut helps ANYONE out there even a teeny eeny weeny bit, I'd be super-happy!

Here's what the page finally looked like: [link]

Brilliant. I've been trying to do this myself for a while, and was only missing a few bits and bobs. This was so helpful, I'm sure my work will really improve now! Thanks a lot!

COOL I HAVE A PROBLEM WHEN ERASING MY MANGA LEAVES TO MUCH PENCIL MARK HOW I CAN DEAL WITH IT?XD

=FreakShounen Apr 7, 2013 Student General Artist

1. When coloring in, don't apply too much pressure on the pencil
2. Make sure you don't use pencils that are very dark (I would suggest a maximum of 6B)
Hope that helps!
