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.

If you wish to join this community, please subscribe so you can receive notification on when new things are posted and fill out an application. Members who have subscribed and sent in an application will be given the Guest Poster privilege, and will be able to ask for critiques on their work. To maintain Guest Poster privilege, please provide critiques to other users so everyone can benefit.

This site is designed to run without a lot of supervision. Features such as critiques and corrections depend on the activity of members. Administrators have the responsibility of coming up with events and updating the website every now and then. So please act appropriately and stay friendly.

Art Weekly Challenge - Week 1 - June 2 - Elements of Design Part 1

This is the first set of challenges! The amount of challenges this week is a bit heavy, but we just wanted to give you options and let you see the possibilities of the Event feature. Use these next few challenges to help you achieve a better understanding of the basics of design.

Title: Week 1 - June 2: Elements of Design - Shape
Type of Event: Weekly Challenge - Art
Supervisor: FUNimation
Introduction: Create a visual by using a very limited palette of shapes.
Instructions: Create a composition using Vormator shapes. You can scale, rotate, flip and duplicate the shapes as much as you want. You can also use whatever colors you want. Download the vector shapes here. Though this challenge is easiest for digital media, don't be afraid to try it with other media.
Challenge: Limit your colors. Select a color scheme from Kuler and implement it in your composition.

June - Art Monthly Challenge: Applying Elements and Principles

Today marks the beginning of the Creative Community challenges! Please view the Event History post for June 2014 to see what other challenges are planned for this month. Monthly challenges begin on the first day of that month and end on the last day of that month. Please dedicate your challenge entries to CreativeCommunity so we can see your artwork.

Type of Event: Monthly Challenge
Supervisor: FUNimation
Introduction: After learning about the Elements and Principles of design, apply these Elements and Principles to a piece of artwork.
Instructions: Come up with a composition that utilizes at least two elements. Several different principles can be displayed through the use of few elements. Demonstrate your knowledge of design through your artwork. Try coming up with at least three different sketches to help with your composition. Being able to organize the layout of your artwork can help you set up focal points and subjects of interest. Don't worry about value or color until you have established the foundation of your piece. You may use whatever medium you feel comfortable with.

Please ask if you have any questions!
