PE: Importance of AnatomyThe importance of anatomy.
Understanding anatomy is crucial to many aspects of your art.
You'll notice that anatomy is essential for drawing. It becomes difficult to accurately draw a complex pose, or even a simple one, if you don't understand what's under all that skin or fur, or even bark.  Knowing how everything fits together is important.
Once you notice where that certain muscle is, shading and form become much more accurate and more natural. Knowing why the nose and eyes fall where they do make it much easier to draw from memory, and nail that natural look you were going for.
Learning the anatomy of the subject you're going to draw is quite important, and will definitely help you on several levels.
It's also easier to drawing sequences of movement. One will know what connects to what, and how they move. What is possible, and what isn't. (Range of motion)
Drawing people and other animals can be intimidating. Once you have a solid foundation, it's much easier
PE: Step into realismRealism
What is realism?
Realistic art is art that captures so much detail, it looks almost real/photographic. Fantasy art can also be realism if it the level of shading/tones/ details create a photographic appearance. Realistic art is quite mind blowing. In realism, there are is no lineart. Usually, there is a giant range of tones and colors that breathe together. If it is monochrome, the tones are equally as varied, but greyscale instead. 
Take a look at some breath taking pieces of art:

Praising Life Project







Praising Life ProjectWelcome to the Praising Life Project

It's really hard for anyone to stay positive all the time. I definitely agree with that.
    When things go wrong, it's so easy to forget how much you've been blessed. It's amazing that we have the internet, people who care, and hope...
Although there is a lot of bad, there is also beautiful joy. :love:
    And that makes me praise life.
The memories, the laughter, the joy, the hugs through hard times.
We only have one chance!

It would be much appreciated if you help spread the word! ( & Comment!) 
Contribute to the Project (Read On) or Donate
Praising Life Project UpdateMoving forwards with the praising life project: learn how you can contribute. A quote and artist will be featured as often as I can. 
I am hoping to reach at least 300 inspiring messages from the community if I can.
At the end of this year, 2013, ten calenders and 16 three month PMS will be given away to inspired deviants.(that means random/anyone. :dummy:)
The calenders to remind you of how special every day is, and notebooks because they can inspire you to try something new artistically.
However, the points cost of this project's completion is around: 30,176 points.
The main focus, however, is your inspiring words.  :heart:
Have an inspired year everyone!
