How to fight art theft UPDATE

Dec 11, 2021

Edit 18.12.2021; Turns out that the issue with OpenSea and ever rising art theft just took a turn to worse. OpenSea is now rejecting takedown requests (sent via their own Takedown Form) on stolen artwork, citing their ToS as the reason. I have sent multiple takedown emails with proof of ownership, but OpenSea refused to take the work down. The ToS requires me to send a DMCA takedown which involves sharing my personal information that OpenSea can relay to the anonymous thieves so that they can dispute the case with me. Absolutely do not do this. OpenSea cannot be trusted with your address, your phone number or your ID. OpenSea has cleaned their hands of all of this and they will not back you up. Their ToS puts all the responsibility on the users on the platform so in a case anything happens you would be on your own. Here's some more information on the topic (also a good Twitter account to follow if you want to keep up to date with the issue of NFT thefts):

Painting without Lines: Forms in Light and Shadow by NykolaiAleksander, journal

Painting without Lines: Forms in Light and Shadow

Mar 29, 2019

Lighting in Art Week Welcome... ... to ‘Sculpting with Values’ , because really, that's what this is.I’ll be showing you how to paint a portrait using values only, rather than relying on lines to mark the boundaries of facial features in the final product, and will also throw in some tips on what makes good lighting, and what to avoid.As colour is a whole different ballgame, I won’t be covering it at all. Just greyscale values. At most art schools that pride themselves in good teaching methods, that’s exactly what you would be doing at first, and only once that module is completed would you move on to colour. Yes, I know, colours are awes...

Shading Tips for Watercolor by jane-beata, journal

Shading Tips for Watercolor

Mar 28, 2019

Lighting In Art Week In this article, I will be sharing some tips on how to shade in a particularly mean technique, which is watercolor. Main difference between watercolor and other traditional painting techniques is about how to achieve light and shadow - which is why I decided to include this topic into a wonderful LIGHTING IN ART WEEK at :devprojecteducate: And they let me! How is watercolor different from other traditional art painting techniques then? Acrylic, oil painting, even gouache are opaque techniques, allowing you to add white into your painting as you please, whenever you need to. Watercolor doesn't use white paint at all, ...

Creating Contrast in Paintings

Mar 28, 2019

Lighting In Art WeekShading is not easy. But here are some tips that benefited me a lot, and I hope they could help you to add contrast and depth to your paintings as well. 1. Have a wide range of values. The second drawing here doesn't have too much value contrast, whereas the first one has a wider value range. Which one catches your eye more? The contrast between values add depth to drawings; it defines shapes and the relationship between light and dark. Lacking value contrast could make your drawing look flat (unless this is the style you are going for).Here are some tips that could help you with creating values: 1a. Find/take good a ...

Creating Dramatic Lighting

Mar 27, 2019

Lighting in Art WeekHello all, for lighting week I'm going to show you a process for making dramatic lighting.In particular, I'm going to show you a subtractive process that allows you to create more engaging works of art.This is mostly for digital artists, however there may be a few tips in here traditional artists might find useful.This is a general introduction and I will not be going into detail with the tools I use--I will merely show you the process because odds are we all use different programs. This way it's very easy to follow!First off, I highly recommend using artwork with a background--it does not have to be very detailed, bu...

Lighting In Art: Ambient Occlusion For 2D Artists

Mar 26, 2019

Lighting In Art WeekAmbient occlusion is a rendering technique mostly known in 3D art, but which has been also successfully implemented by 2D artists for quite some time. In computer graphics, ambient occlusion is sophisticated ray-tracing calculation, which allows you to simulate the soft shadows that happen in cracks, crevices and intersections of surfaces, where the ambient light is darker or even blocked. It's all about distance ... The farther the object surface from the light, the more occluded (and darker) the lighting becomes, and it is these soft shadows that help define the separation between objects in the composition, r...

Types of shading that can be used in drawing

Mar 26, 2019

Lighting In Art WeekWe are going to talk about various types of shading techniques, but before we start we really need to know the meaning of shading and what it is all about.Shading means adding values to your already drawn artwork to show form and depth.The major difference between three-dimensional objects (3D) and two-dimensional objects (2D) is the presence of light and shadow. Three-dimensional objects reflect light in the areas where the light hits them - this could be anywhere on the surface of an object, and depending on where it is, the opposite side is always in shadow, at least if you have just a single light source, such as th...

My Personal Progress Thanks to Feedback

Feb 3, 2019

Feedback WeekendGrowing as an artist is one of the most important things we can do. For myself, stagnating on progress causes me to lose enthusiasm to continue a project. It's why I don't like making earrings - I don't enjoy making the same thing twice! It's also why, for the past handful of years, when I pick up a craft kit I tend to change a lot of small details to personalize it.Today's article is all about me - how prodding from the community helped me grow into the artist I am today. If it wasn't for DeviantArt I would, in all likelihood, still be content with a few blurry photos and my immediate family's nods of approval.:dalove: T...
