This is the place where you can personalize your profile!
But, how?
By moving, adding and personalizing widgets.
You can drag and drop to rearrange.
You can edit widgets to customize them.
The bottom has widgets you can add!
Some widgets you can only access when you get a premium membership.
Some widgets have options that are only available when you get a premium membership.
We've split the page into zones!
Certain widgets can only be added to certain zones.
"Why," you ask? Because we want profile pages to have freedom of customization, but also to have some consistency. This way, when anyone visits a deviant, they know they can always find the art in the top left, and personal info in the top right.
Don't forget, restraints can bring out the creativity in you!
Now go forth and astound us all with your devious profiles!
There are two of them. The first is a quick process painting. The second is in depth about how to stretch paper. Enjoy!

One more question as I try to get out of my lazy streak: which one of these illustrations? I've got finished sketches for all three of them. @__@ And I love all the sketches.

silly question, but what do you use for masking so you don't color over in some places? I was thinking some of that masking fluid, since I've seen that you can just use an eraser to peel it off, but I'm not sure.
uuuh unhelpful answer ... I don't actually use anything to mask the paper to keep from painting over it. If using a sharp brush on dry paper, you can achieve a lot of detail and control. As much as you can get with ink. o__o;;; I guess I've been painting heavily with watercolors for 10 years now. If I have extra control over the paint, it is from amassed experience.
Sometimes for paint splatter effects, I WILL use the masking fluid. Then, I use Winsor & Newton's "Colourless Art Masking Fluid."
