Digital drawing. Digital painting. Same thing?Hello, dA!
As you may be aware, we are in the process of revisiting gallery descriptions and making sure that all of our submissions categories make sense and are useful to you. We also want to make sure that categories are mutually exclusive so that people don't submit their deviations to the wrong galleries/categories by mistake.
This process brought out a very interesting conversation among some members of the CV team. Specifically, we started talking about what, fundamentally, the difference between digital drawing and digital painting was. Does it depend on brush strokes? Is there some technique used on one but not the other? What sets the two apart?
. . . OR, are they essentially the same thing?

Here's what the submission guidelines currently say about digital drawing and digital painting:
Digital Drawing: Digital art drawings created using computer-aided drawing tools or digital techniques.
Digital Painting: Digita

Hello everybody!

The first group's feature is here! We don't have super group yet, so we can't hold it in our journal. Therefore the feature happens in our Featured Gallery folder

I will also hold the same feature in my personal journal with BIG thumbnails!

So chop chop, run to our Featured folder and check out this month's feature!

dA love for everyone! #18

As the title suggests, this news article's goal is to spread the dA love into everyone's heart! You will find here a little bit of everything, from awesome interviews with talented artists, art features, group promotion to random deviants' features. I hope you will find this informative and entertaining!
Interviewed artist: ^ladygagz :iconthelasth0pe:
Tell us what defines you as a person.
This is a tough question.

I think everyone I've met, everywhere I've gone, everything I've done defines me as a person. My life and experiences define me.
How did you found out about deviantART and why did you join the community?
I was introduced to deviantART by a friend back in September of 2008

Winners of Team dArt Showdown! - Generous Winners

I received this note today:
"First of all, thank you very much for organizing the contest! It was amazing to find out we won! Within our team, we agreed that the 2nd team, DieWildPixieDragon, deserves a prize as well, not only for getting so far in the contest but also for their team spirit. We would like to give 1000 points from our prize to each member of that team. I guess it would be easier if you do that when you are sending the points. Can you please send 1000 points to each of them, and divide the rest between us? "
So both finalists will receive prizes!
After a long wait for all the games... We have our winning team!

The Known and Unknown Feature [3]This collection is one that I hope you all will enjoy, I know I really did!
Also, I just finished the last episode of House M.D. Likely one of my favorite shows... So sad to see it end.
Also, a must see: http://vimeo.com/42785517 One of the most gorgeous videos I have seen.
Have a great week!
P.S. `Steph1254, =Pickley and `JamminJo Just saying.
P.P.S. Sta.sh shows this centered, but it isn't staying centered... So my apologies for the crappy alignment.

Inspiration From My Inbox Vol 2Every day I get hundreds and hundreds of pieces that go through my message center and I get inspiration from almost all of them. I've decided in my current project to share some fantastic pieces with you that have made their way from my inbox into my favorites or inspired me to be that much better in creating my art.

Abstract and Surreal DDs for June
I hardly need to abstract things,
for each object is unreal enough already.
