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.
