Deviantart and Instagram for Digital art?

Learning skills feel better when shared. When you draw your first piece of illustration, the excitement and satisfaction are out of the world. But when you are the only one staring at the art you made, another pair of eyes can be so rewarding. There are plenty of websites to share digital art. But I picked Deviantart and Instagram.
Deviantart is such an amazing website that holds artists from all around the world of different level of expertise. The community is nice. People share their arts and they support each other with feedback.

Then Instagram is no stranger to anyone I believe. Instagram is an American photo and video sharing social networking service created by Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger. In April 2012.... Okay okay, no copy-pasted long description haha.

So, my idea is to post one good drawing of mine produced in illustrator, colour calibrated and signed in photoshopped. Like this drawing of mine.

This image is posted in my Deviantart (DexLearningSkillz). By the way, this is officially my first post and illustration ever. (Actually, I created an illustration before but that's way too embarrassing to show.)

And for Instagram, I made two accounts. One being an Insta for this blog, DexLearningSkillz Insta, where I share the skills I learn and the arts I draw. For the same project, the images I added in that insta are like this:

And the other insta I made, gettin_older is for the final products only but with only full drawings and no logos, no rough sketches etc. It's basically the Deviantart for Insta for me.

The images I would post there would be like:

If there are any other websites where I can and should share, I would surely love to join. I will keep an eye online. This blog was all about the pages I created to publish my illustrations. Let's see in few years as I get better and better and turn pro, it would be interesting to look back at the journey. I hope I have not missed anything out. That's all for now.

Learning Illustration with YouTube: My Journey in Adobe Illustration : 1

So I have been making some logos for a while now. But it's incomplete without learning to make it the proper way. And there comes the Vector Art. Installed Adobe Illustration. Had to go for the cc6 version as my pc runs on win 8.1 and the newer versions require the pc to be on windows 10. (God I hate win 10). So later I came to the realisation that the cc6 and the older versions are incapable of turning the corners of an object to rounded ones. One must copy the shape, transform it to a rounded cornered one from the drop-down window, use the tool "Slice" and replace the target. If it's going over the head for some people, bear with me, please. I had to install the newer version cc 17. I think that is the latest update as far as it doesn't ask you to have your windows upgraded to 10 but it comes with a new feature. The 'rounding corner option' introduced from this version turned to be a saviour and let you bypass all the 'to-dos' tasks mentioned e

Making Cartoon Aeroplanes for a game in Playstore

My brother is seriously a workaholic. Sometimes I worry about him for his disregard for foods while working. Whenever he takes a leave or have a holiday, he sits in front of the laptop, starts working on codings for rest of the day. He makes apps for android devices. I must say, I found the apps quite good for someone who's only experienced for a year. I am proud of him. I love the passion for learning. It helps us grow. Anyway, so my bro has made this game. The game is in the alpha stage. Although it's already in the Playstore (click to check) , he is changing a whole lot of the game. That includes the core design of the models. It's a fun casual a-good-time-killing game that involves a mini plane that flies on an endless loop. The player has to dodge the obstructions as they fly and collect points. My bro Sour knows that I am learning to draw and create vector models. He gave me a project on making the model of the aeroplane, but with 5 diff colours. Red, Blue, Green,

Learning Illustration: 4 : Colour Swatches and Gradient ( Adobe Illustrator )

Writing this down before I hit the bed. Just watched a movie with Winnie, "The Croods". I had already seen the movie years ago. But I wanted her to watch it. Anyway, I am getting off-topic, This would be a short and fast catch up on the illustration class as it's getting late. So much to do, so much to learn, so little time. In the class by EnvatoTuts+ , Mr Dan taught us things about colour swatches. It was all about colours. The usage of colour swatches for faster colouring. Adding customised colours to the swatches. And the most interesting one was the colour theme which uses the adobe cloud and shows a variety of colour combinations for a vibrant and eye-catching result. The community's most picked and voted colour combinations and adding them to the colour swatches can bring life to a dull illustration. And for people who don't like adobe clouds, we were given websites where we can pick other good colour combinations as well. And we were asked to fill colou
