This is a WORLD full of resources dedicated to the aspiring artists of theOtaku of all kinds. The term 'artist' is not limited to the categories on theOtaku. Art can range from sculptures, photography, writing, film, graphic art, and much more! We will have a collection of various tutorials and references to offer that will help you improve and learn new skills in whatever you specialize. However, in order to improve, one must also receive feedback on their work. The members of the Creative Community will be available to provide critiques and aid you on your journey as an artist.

Along with the goal of assisting other artists, this is, after all, a community, and we would like to also make this a place where you can meet new people that share your same interests. This is a friendly haven that will hopefully bring together the many members of theO.

August - Art Monthly Challenge - Design a Candy Character

Type of Event: Monthly Challenge
Introduction: Using candy as inspiration, create an original candy character.
Instructions: There are several different candies in the world, all with their own flavors and textures. Using your creative eye, first study a wide arrangement of candy. Analyze how lighting and texture differentiate the different surfaces of candy. This will help you create a realistic candy character. You may incorporate candy into your character any way possible. The candy could just be their clothes, or the character itself can be made of candy. Get creative. I will provide resources for inspiration, but I would advise to not look at them for long. Often when artists look at something to get ideas, the image that they have studied will become stuck in their brains, and it'll limit their creative thinking. Do not let yourself become stuck on one concept. Experiment and have fun. Don't forget to name your character.
