A page where we post useful things we've figured,
ex..a good way to proportion, a tip for drawing celtic knots, advice for drawing hair, help with drawing hands....
Post your bright thoughts below and help better the artist of Elftown! Please separate the places for easier viewing! I am also dividing the tutorials into sections for neatness sake. Please try as much as you can to put the tutorials under the coordinating title.

2006-05-22 [Lady of Lore]: Yay! ^_^

2006-05-30 [Cia_mar]: i wil have to put together something but i do not know how to make my whole page show up to show what to select and such like urmando did... is it even possible with ms paint> i may just have to write one out and use as many graphics as i can... ={

2006-05-30 [Lady of Lore]: hmm you could ask him what he did or how he did it that way he did. Hmmmm...we'll figure something out, I gotta fly though cuz my sweetheart's here, bye!

2006-06-13 [Asrun]: Lady of Lore, can you please link The Critique Board as well as Asrun's Tutorials? :D

2006-06-13 [Lady of Lore]: sure thing! ^^

2006-06-13 [nathie]: aaaw, yep! thanks! cool! :)

2006-07-14 [moonscale]: Is there a "help" corner? For questions.

2006-07-14 [Lady of Lore]: front desk ^^

2006-08-10 [Dr.Mandarian]: I would have got a little unofficial tutorial about inventing Fantasy names! How To Invent Your Own Fantasy Names...
This would actually fit in here, as modest contribution! ( If it's not too provisional, as yet )

2006-08-10 [Lady of Lore]: its a welcome addition ^_^

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: yeah i made my first tutorial!!!! lol... i hope to make more but they are time consuming so i don't know if i will yet!

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: Where here in this wiki shall I place the link for my How To Invent Your Own Fantasy Names wiki? Ehm, only for it isn't strictly about art or painting techniques, as the other tutorials here...

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: i would seperate it like the one for nathies photoreferences and give it it's own section ... i don't think Lady of lore would mind... and if she does then the worst thing would be that whould happen is it gets moved elsewhere! lol

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: * blushes * I messed with the brushes, when I tried to put in the link to my Fantasy Name tutorial. I think I need some rocket scientist, to fix that, again.

2006-10-03 [Lady of Lore]: lol, no problemo Mandarian. And Yay Cia ^__^

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: lets see if i can help...

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: Thanks for the help. If I see such clusters of html I feel like 'Commander Data' with a disfunction, suddenly!

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: lol.. i understand... but i think it is fixed now!

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: Ahh, yes! Now everything looks in order again! * takes cardiac pills *

2006-10-03 [Lady of Lore]: lol Mandarian, like this? http://databsod.ytmnd.com/

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: * brays * Yes, exactly. - lol - This is like he's getting his emotion module and runs hysterical, then ( laughing about a joke, suddenly, when he understands it's clue, after three days )

2006-10-03 [Lady of Lore]: lol ^^

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: hee that is funny! i wonder if that ws ffrom out takes or something! lol

2006-10-03 [Lady of Lore]: I dunno, that website has some crazy stuff ^^ My friends keep emailing me things from it ^_^ I added a few other crazy video links to my diary....

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: it is funny!

2006-10-03 [Dr.Mandarian]: And it just inspired me to maybe name my cat 'Spot' if I will have one living with me, again. * chuckles *

2006-10-03 [Lady of Lore]: lol, aww little Spot...^^

2006-10-03 [Cia_mar]: cool ... spot! that was a cool name wasn't it?

2006-11-16 [Dr.Mandarian]: Woooh! * falls from his easy chair * You used my Puss-in-Boots for this section?
* is amazed by epic proportions * Never expected that to happen, really! Such a real honour! Thank you!

2006-11-16 [Lady of Lore]: ^___^ Puss in Boots is awesome ^_- You're welcome!

2006-11-16 [Dr.Mandarian]: Thanks a lot! ^___^ But... now when I look at it it screams a bit for colour, still, somehow - I mean how it splishes and splashes with paint, attached to it's paws. Shouldn't it even look better with colours?

2006-11-16 [Lady of Lore]: I dunno..colors are good but there's something about this that I really like ^_^ and its not like we can't change it later on ^_-

2007-01-24 [nathie]: hi! me again! i have two hair color tutorials new here:
