Pencil Vs Camera – 30 by `BenHeine on deviantART

deviantART is a great site for artists of all ages to exhibit and talk about their work. People from all over the world have posted amazing works of art.

deviantART is not just drawings. It also includes photography, animation, literature, stamps and you can see clothes and even shoes people have made.

The great thing is that you don’t need to be an actual artist to join — you just need the passion. Most artwork has a “buy option” so if you want an artist to draw a picture for you, they can. This is called a commission. Everything is monitored by deviantART so there should be no worries about getting the money to the artist.

There are also loads of free tutorials if you want to practice or improve your skills.

Bella’s bio

Bella, kids' panellist

Bella, kids' panellist

I’m the type of person who will laugh in the middle of the street because I remembered something funny that happened to me yesterday. I’ve always been the kind of person who loves to make people smile and laugh.

I’m kind of a nerd. I love watching anime and reading manga and I can recognize any voice actor or actress.

I tend to get over protective if my friends are going to get hurt.

I love music. I cannot live without it in my life. My favourite quote about music is: “When words fail music speaks”.
