Drawing videos that hopefully may inspire any artist, although at the moment there are only 180 plus videos, but I do hope to add more to the video content that I create. This is my Youtube Video Channel that I created as a place to put my drawing efforts, but also to provide some useful resource of inspiration for anyone to draw from and try to draw fantasy based stuff that always is a fantastic and popular art form to look at.
I've started to organize some videos into playlists to help you find relevant stuff that you can sort through and choose which videos to watch and if there are certain videos that you want me to work on then please let me know on my Youtube channel or below in the comments.
Fantasy Art Drawings Inspirations Videos
This is an art and design blog with featured resources and other websites that have information on a wide variety of art topics and subjects of relevant interest.

Get Paid To Draw: An Earning Opportunity Online
I have been looking over this program in forums and other discussion places online and there are some positive things that people have said about it, although there are of course some people who will say it's a scam like other ways of making money online because they don't give it chance and expect to earn within a few days of signing up for something and then they try and discredit the site in forums, because they failed to take the appropriate action.
From what I gather is that you can join certain sites and upload your photos and drawings and whoever downloads them you could earn $0.50c or more per download which does sound very tempting and it is especially good to know that if it is possible then if you have the talent of drawing or some creative designing talent then you should try this membership.
Here is that article about it - Get paid to draw

How the Paint Color Chart Impresses People That View Your Work
How the Paint Color Chart Impresses People That View Your Work
By: Jimmy Cox
Experience has taught us that certain combinations of colors, whether in nature or art, affect the eye and mind agreeably, while others give offense. We call the former "harmonies," the latter "discords."
Just as numerous attempts have been made to discover the laws of light and of color vision, and to invent practical systems of color measurement and notation, great effort has been expended in trying to ferret out the reasons why some combinations of color are pleasing and others are not, and to devise laws to insure harmonious color employment. We have finally learned, however, that even if it were possible to grasp all such reasons, workable laws guaranteeing immunity against chromatic discord still could not be devised.
In view of the contrary claims of some writers, we offer the following arguments to substantiate our statement.
First, as we have demonstrated, colors change in effect according to their environment, each hue being modified by those adjacent to it. Color harmony is not merely a matter of selection, therefore, but also of arrangement a fact not nearly as commonly recognized as it should be. A color scheme extremely pleasing to the average person can become, in rearrangement, positively disturbing. Arrangement obviously cannot be controlled wholly by rule at least in representational paintings.
using your artistic talent
Area, like arrangement, influences color appearances, as we have seen. Harmonious schemes can often be made discordant, or at least uninteresting, simply by increasing or decreasing certain color areas. Of course, the reverse is also true. It is easy to see that a small spot of vivid red, which delightfully reinforces, through contrast, a large area of bright green, might, if sufficiently expanded, rival the green, causing a disturbing division of interest. But there are no arbitrary rules to be followed with regard to area and color harmony.
Nor are there definite laws governing the use of such phenomena when alternating bands of complementary colors were viewed from a certain distance. Yet effects such as this are capable of making some schemes disagreeable and others pleasing or telling.
Texture, although not a quality of color, is another influence that can seldom be ignored. In architecture and decoration, for example, materials harmonious in color often show textural inconsistency or discord. A mere coating of varnish, changing dull woodwork to shiny, can be enough to upset a scheme completely. Even in painting pictures, textural harmony is almost as important as color harmony the two are closely wedded yet there are no clear cut laws.
Color fitness or suitability must also be considered, as must that ever present matter of personal taste. After all, who is to say which colors harmonize and which do not? We have all seen that changing fashions can have a considerable effect on the average person`s ideas of what colors are or are not attractive and suitable for particular purposes, especially in relation to women`s clothing and interior decoration. There are also, as we are all aware, attitudes toward particular colors and color combinations that stem from temperament, national traditions, climate, environment and other unpredictable factors.
This should be enough to warn the student against the exaggerated statements of writers who claim or imply that their methods or systems of obtaining color harmony are infallible or universally applicable. Printed laws and clever devices designed to reveal color schemes can certainly be of help, but only in a very limited way.
