Hello Deviants, Welcome to week 22 of deviant365! :dummy:


Last week, we asked you guys to find a tutorial and explain to us how you found it useful in your artistic endeavors, I'm happy to announce that Scytheia has won a 3 month premium membership and Nebunezzari has won 300 :points: courtesy of deviantART.

Scytheia shared with us Composition Tutorial Values by AlexTooth, and feels a lot more confident with the understandings of the different formats of composition as a general whole.

Nebunezzari  has shared Skin a tutorial part 1 by navate and explains that she feels a lot more confident in playing with variations of skin tones to create the best results.

Congratulations guys! :clap:





So this is week 22, so let us get straight to this weeks task!

We want you guys to go out there and explore the different galleries of deviantART, visit a gallery and sub gallery you would least expect to be browsing and share with us a deviation that really catches your attention. Tell us a bit about why you are drawn to the deviation, and also about the gallery it came from, does this perhaps change your views on that particular gallery or no?

This is a little exercise to hopefully help you guys appreciate different galleries a lot more that you would normally venture out to. There isn't a right a wrong deviation to choose, but explaining to us how searching through an unknown gallery makes you feel, One lucky deviant will receive a 3 Month Premium Membership for the most compelling explanation and deviation.

Also up for grabs this week is TWO 200 points:points: for taking part in this weeks task.

Remember, there is no right or wrong answer here. Simply post a deviation from a gallery you wouldn't normally browse through, or even at all and tell us about your experience. Be honest with your explanation, but don't be crude or disrespectful towards that gallery, the whole idea of this task is to find out what your tastes are, and what aren't. 

:bulletblue: Post a thumb of the deviation in the comments below, and explain to us what made you choose it.

:bulletblue: All entries must be submitted by Thursday 29th May at 23:59:59 PDT

:bulletblue: One deviant shall receive a 3 Month Premium Membership and Two deviants will receive 200 :points: each courtesy of deviantART.

:love:

Hey, it seemed like everyone was already venturing into different styles/mediums for their out-of-the-ordinary galleries, so I figured I would browse galleries that curated art from other parts of the world, that aren't normal to myself.

As I was looking through the galleries I found onlysouthamerica.deviantart.co… and it looked interesting because I know absolutely nothing about South America, even though I live just above it, in North America. Their gallery divides up the work based on which country the artist is from. And well, I found a piece in the Brasil folder... onlysouthamerica.deviantart.co…

And it's just.. wow. I'm glad you posted this task. You see, I just finished two paintings of a face in my art class. In the image by suellemartins.deviantart.com/ there's two canvases each with a face on it. I haven't posted my paintings yet, as my teacher is still grading them, but those paintings instantly reminded me of mine.  Suellen used, I'm guessing here, acrylics just as I did, and the concept is strikingly similar to mine. However, the style is much more abstract, but I enjoy it. They're very expressionistic, & to be honest, remind me a little bit of Picasso. The similarities made me realize that, even though not everyone speaks the same language, we all speak art. But the differences, helped me realize that everyone sees the world in different ways. This weeks task makes me want to see it through as many different views as I can.

It just makes me appreciate the fact that art is important to everyone, now matter where you come from.
Art is something that just connects the human race, y'know?

Anyway, thanks for the new experience, and helping me find new people to watch. Have a good one.
