It seems like a lot of people are trying to break into graphic design right now so I decided to write an article on some of the things that it would take to be on. Feel free to add on to the list and to give your opinion on any of my requirements.
1. Photoshop [...]

This feature is all about amazing natural, and not so natural, landscape scenes. These pictures come from deviantart and flickr as well as sxc.hu.

Watch Your Head isn’t a web comic but it’s better to read it as one so you can read all of the strips back to back. Featuring realistic depth filled characters you would think this would be made into a television show like the Simpsons. Often compared to The Boondocks, by Aaron McGruder, Watch Your [...]

I know Calvin and Hobbes isn’t really a web comic but it’s one of my favorite comics regardless.  Watterson, much like J.D. Salinger has turned down media attention. Maybe he just felt the need to have Calvin grow up. What ever the reason you can read the comic here.

Minus has to be one of the most interesting web comics out there. To me it beats Rice Boy and Dresdan Codak because the main character, which the comic’s namesake is taken from, is just so original and the story is really zany at times. The art itself is painted and drawn by hand with [...]

This was going to be a post about typography in general. But when I saw this guys portfolio I realized that he deserved a post all to himself. Tulga’s work is amazingly creative and uses great textures with a minimum amount of effects to produce a stylish outcome. Check out his deviantart page at [...]

Good Cheese is a webcomic created by Kelly Hamilton. It has to be my all time favorite antro comic, maybe even topping Arthur. The humor is up to date and the expressions in the comic are hilarious. She is also the creator of Roza and the Horse Prince. You can view her work here.

Roza and the Horse Prince is a digital comic that is hand drawn by Kelly Hamilton. While I prefer Good Cheese you can’t ignore the beautiful splashes of color that are seen in each panel. The art style is consistent with it’s fantasy themes and the imagination is extraordinary. You can view the comic here. [...]

One of my favorite cloud stock pictures on the web. You can view Clint’s website here and his deviantart page here ssecret.

The Islander, By: Erik Schumacher
This picture is one of my all time favorites. The composition is majestic and natural while the color scheme is perfect. Probably one of the best space/fantasy scenes of all time.
His work can be seen at his website xkire or at his deviantart page kire1987.

I first heard about Corel Painter while looking for stock images online. I found the advertisements annoying but they made me curious as to what made the program different from Photoshop. The differences are what make a fabulous program for any traditional artist looking to break into the future of digital art.
The program offers many [...]
