I'm a fairly professional creative myself and have been using Surface products to do my work for the last 4~ years almost exclusively. Heavy Photoshop work, lots of video editing, 3D modeling & rendering, etc. Sure, I'd love t

Sounds like they'll let people build websites ala Wix but using their images from DA. Seems fine.

I left Facebook a couple years ago and Twitter a couple weeks ago. I used both somewhat successfully to promote my work for a long time. I find it remarkable how much better my life feels already. I have so much more focus, energy, and conc

Guy-who-wrote-this (and often lurker) here. Lemme know if y'all have any questions or anything—this is still a subject I'm rather passionate about.

Awesome stuff. Would love to see concept artists incorporating procedural generated assets in their workflow. Produce 100 samples like this, teach the computer which ones they prefer, produce 100 more, take a few and refine them by hand.

3x meals a day feels absolutely preposterous for any sedentary profession. There's just no need to eat that much (or that often) unless you have an actually physically demanding job.

I think the study and practice of fundamental techniques is directly tied to training your creative side. But they're also independent skills, in a sense. I see far too many young artists who focus solely on technique, at the detriment

I was pleased to see Dreamhost (who I use) offering free Let's Encrypt for any domain bought/hosted with them. Quick & easy setup. Would love to see other registrars/hosts do the same.

Or perhaps Americans have a different organization they go to when they want to form shell companies.

I'm not teaching people to do art like mine--I'm teaching them representational art as a whole. The fundamentals of those skills can be used to take your work in just about any direction you'd like. If someone doesn't wa

Thanks! And yeah, I considered many times to switch over to a subscription model. But I wasn't convinced that the numbers would actually net higher than what I was doing here. I've got a friend/"competitor" in the s

So they tried to keep a customer? It's not like they refused to do it outright. They just tried to convince him to stay. Cool. Y'all remember trying to cancel those AOL trials back in the day? Now _that_ was a nightmare.

Along these lines, I'd recommend The Drunkard's Walk: How Randomness Rules Our Lives http://amzn.to/1NYgSQm Even very intelligent people seem to have far too many delusions about their own competence or success.

It's mentioned in the article, but I'll go ahead and second the recommendation to read Art & Fear. If you ever make anything of any sort, you'll probably get a lot out of it.

This is great news for my fellow creatives. Excited to take a shot at this.

Love, love, love this. I travel and shoot a lot of photos, so this would be perfect for putting those out there.

Weighing in as an artist who works in Photoshop all day: I just preordered one because they look awesome. This is exactly the sort of machine that people in my profession want. I've used the Surface Pro 3 exclusively (as in, no desktop

Speaking as an artist who uses the Surface Pro 3 for all of my work, an iPad Pro will be useless without the right software. And as great as Procreate might be, it's not Photoshop and will never be Photoshop. Without the ability to run

Now you're talking. I can't wait to print out nicely formed brushstrokes from a digital painting. Something along the lines of embedding a bump map into the 2d image to give subtle depth information. Let me know if anyone needs an

That first finished landscape piece took about 5 hours. And that felt like an eternity to me. I've actually pushed myself time and time again to be more patient with my work. And it's paid off in producing better pieces each time.

Congrats! Making the leap into art is always a good one, no matter your profession. It can give you an entirely new appreciation for the world around you. Quite literally a new way of looking at things. And you can call it art--I'm not

I don't, nor have I ever, considered myself particularly talented. At best, I would say I have the drive to force myself to practice. To say things came easily to me is an outright lie. Hard work, persistence, and luck. Stir and serve
