My new art blog! It's not really a tutorial website it's more of an actual blog commenting on different art stuff, programs, and things like that. I will also be posting pictures I've drawn with a list of art materials like I did on here.

Please enjoy my new blog, The Factoid Firefly!

Factoid Firefly ... what a catchy name.

Your site looks really good. I only have one suggestion about the contents. That chocolate bar sign is too dark for the text on it and I can barely see what it says. Looks like the sign (not the text) needs a light touch of Colors > Brightness & Contrast to lighten it just a very small amount.

Keep up the good work, Moko!

Not sure why it looks odd, I did make it a bit darker so the text would stand out....Maybe that's it.
Thank you for the wishes! :D

I read your profile, I'm glad you stood your ground about what you believe. Not many people do that these days. I bookmarked it and will check it now and then.

Chocolate...too dark? Chocolate is always the right color!

Great stuff Moko. Once when I was thinking about how to easily create leather grain I had the idea of doing the light areas in white crayon then painting the rest in watercolours. Crayons are very very useful. (I would also like secretly to make a firework picture like we did in junior school using this method or make a picture out of lentils and split peas. Childish is cool!)

mokonafan: just been to take a look and the slideshow worked fine for me. hope you get that internet connection fixed soon, it must be hard to keep a blog when you're on a very slow connection.

Mokonafan - looks good and very informative, they only criticism I would point out is the link you provided for the "Posting Guidelines" didn't stand out as clickable due to colour being so similar to the main text.
