    Hello everyone! As you can see, we have made some quite big changes to the Graphic Art section which I have been working on for so long now. Anyway, here is a list of the changes that have been made for the better:


    Artist subsection

    Probably the biggest of them all, this has been needed for so long! Simply speaking, it's a subsection where you can discuss other artist's and artwork besides your own that has had some effect on you whether it's inspiration or you just liked it. This is the place for proper art discussion and you don't have to be a huge art head to post something, art is different to everyone and can be interpreted differently and it can effect us all. For more information about what goes in this section please have a quick glance over the rules and get cracking!


    Loss of “Photography” and “Traditional art” subsections

    With the addition of the artist subsection, I thought it may become quite crowded and since prefixes can do the same job it seemed logical to merge them into the main forum. This also eliminated the constant confusion about what goes where and posting in the wrong section, it should be simpler now. So basically, all Photography, Traditional and graphical art go into the main section.


    New threads!

    Beginners thread: I thought I'd put together a little something to help out anyone interested in beginning their journey through graphical art. It includes a small “Starter pack” which is a collection of useful resources that could help you out if you are just starting out and have no idea where to go from there. It's also a place for seasoned veterans to give their advice etc.


    Revamped Tutorials thread: A list of all the tutorials you lovely members have posted over the years, split into “GIMP”, “Photoshop” and “Broken links”.


    Revamped resources thread: This has needed to be updated for so long, it's a thread listing useful resource sites as well as all the resources you members have shared (quite a few of which I downloaded and use in my work and have found very useful).



    If you have any questions at all, or comments or any words of wisdom then please post here or message me and I'll get straight to it.
