What art can I use? | Tips for Art
Hello, this forum will have two sections 
What art can I use?
First, I have some questions about what art we can use. There are many talented artists on the internet, and sometimes we cannot perfect the vision in our mind. If we search something up, which ones are fine to use? ( I know not to use ones to purchase, or says it’s copyright ) Looking at the picture and drawing something similar is a good option, but it still doesn’t seem right. It’s also hard to find the exact place the picture is from to put in notes and credits because some people copy it and put it on Pinterest, eBay, etc. . I hope I will find new ways to use pictures off the internet. These are some pictures I created only looking on the original. (go to section which says cute doodles)
Tips for art
Sometimes it is hard to create art on a tablet or computer. Here are some tips on creating art for scratch. First, use shapes! Using the “move edges” tool on a square or circle can create professional looking objects. They have less bumpy lines and are easy to modify. Secondly, use a pen. Pens for computers is what I prefer but pens for tablets is also good. It will feel more like drawing traditionally, and for me, it hurts my fingers less. If you draw with a mouse you know how hard it is. A pen will help your lines be straighter and keep large lines going out of your art from happening. Third, use lots of color! Soft colors for outlines can help for a nicer looking character. The colors you use will impact the feel of your artwork. This doesn’t mean, however, you should change your art style. Stick with what you think looks the best and everything will tie together. These are all my tips for art, thank you for reading!
