Visit the DaniDraws art blog.
The primary purpose of the DaniDraws’ art blog is to provide tips and techniques around art and illustration. Users of Photoshop will find this site particularly useful, but other subjects – both digital and non-digital – are also covered.
We love how each one of Jones’ entries are easy to understand and thoroughly useful. Her use of videos, and step-by-step illustration guides, are particularly effective. The innovative Dani Draws Live section, where you can watch Jones draw in real-time whilst feeding her with questions, is also a great idea.
You will find that DaniDraws does a great job of covering a wide, but well-rounded range of topics. The art blog itself is set-up to be as user-friendly as possible – we recommend that first time visitors take advantage of the Categories list down the right-hand side.
The fact that Jones clearly loves to provide advice, and actively seeks out new queries from her readers, is one of the attributes that set this art blog apart. If you are starting out as an illustrator, or want to hone your skills, this art blog is a must visit.
