Colours Vol. One:iconwildrune11: This skin was deeply inspired by the skins $marioluevanos creates. I like the ways he uses colour and line in his designs. I made and discarded three journal skins while I was trying to come up with a design for this series, and when I had the idea to create a simple but attractive skin like his, I started work on a fourth skin (not knowing yet if I would use it or not). The first thing I did was create a colour palette at colorschemedesigner.com - a simple but powerful colour palette creation tool I recently discovered. As I started creating my skin and applying the colours I had selected, I realised what I would call my feature series - "Colours". The word "colours" can mean many things, and some of these meanings are things I want to achieve in my features.
So, "Colours" will be a journal feature series run by me! :)
Every article will include an interview, a spotlight artist and group, and some selecti

Many people would like to make use of the Premium Membership features of dA, but of course not everyone is able to reserve some bucks for this, or to use them online. Thankfully, deviantART has a wonderful community where many people are willing to help each other out. :love: One way to get a Premium Membership eventhough you cannot pay, is to participate in contests where you can win premium memberships, or points to pay for them - this list will hopefully help you find some to enter. :eager:
(Note that in this journal I will include contests with chosen winners only. There are also 'contests' around where the winners are in some way randomly assigned - perhaps you

Project Educate: Interview with ^kingmanchengPassionate animator, dedicated Community Volunteer: today, we'll be looking into the thoughts of ^kingmancheng! :la:
Please tell us a little bit about yourself.
I graduated from university with a BA honour in illustration and animation, having worked at a different university for a few years, I am now a fulltime freelance illustrator and animator.
When did you start animating?
When I was a young teen I reckon! During that time of my life gif animations really took off all over the Internet and so many young animators at that age got ahold of free gif animation compilers, so although I can't give an exact age, I was pretty young at the time!
   
When/how did you discover deviantART?
When I was about 15/16 years old, one of my friends from school did graphics design work in his own time and uploaded it here. He w
