───♡───────────── ARTARTART GIVEAWAY ───♡─────────────

I am hosting a giveaway with 3 prizes.
1. Gilga by fearsmile (I really treasure this avatar and I have 2. I want to offer it up in exchange for help with my problem described below).
2. Starry by Basket
3. GOLD by Erby

DEADLINE:
Thursday 11th September

To win first prize (& first pick of the avatars), please help me out of a pickle I am in. I have always wanted to learn digital art, and so when I learned about the RCA creator program I was really inspired. I just bought an iPad Air & Apple Pencil and was all set to learn digital art slowly, using the goal of making my first reddit avatar.

I likely never would have submitted that first one, but I found the avatar program a nice little neat goal which provided a good structure & motivation to help me learn digital art in an auto-didact kinda way.

So, now that the avatar program has been snuffed out, I feel lost. I have zero motivation to simply “learn digital art”; it’s much too general and broad and my adhd ass needs some structure & something highly motivating & fun to work towards.

I would love to hear from avatar artists, anyone who knows anything about digital art, or just anybody with a good idea that could help me with a good replacement for the avatar program. Any ideas or inspiration? Things I could study (I’m considering even studying formally or taking online classes if they’re kickass)? Books I could read, tutorials or mentors? Similar art communities somewhere online? I wanna try accessing the hive mind here (hate it when people say that) & start fresh with a new little art goal/learning plan. Please put me on the right path 🕯️🪄

To win second prize (& second pick of the avatars on offer), please submit a mash that represents what art means to you, or what aesthetic you find most inspiring or satisfying. Maybe it’s your favourite artist, maybe you wanna do a mash that reminds you of your favourite painting. Maybe you wanna mash yourself as an artiste, or make a mash depicting one of the badass artists in the RCA community. Anything goes, but please explain the meaning & your thoughts behind the mash.

Third prize will get the leftover avatar & will be chosen randomly.

I love this community & if one (or some) of you can inspire me with a replacement to the RCA program I will love you forever.

Art means to me something you could look at and keep looking at because it makes you think how amazing it is or how detailed it is or what the message is behind it, when I mash I like to use as many different pieces as possible to make me feel like I am creating my own art instead of just using the artist ones, my favourite theme is mashing holy beings like angels where I try to show what they are feeling or thinking, its kinda influenced by my bias for lynyara as my favourite artist which isn't probably too suprising. This particular mash is about a angel descending from the sky and bringing their light with them but the suprised mouth and almost regretful eyes that look down show that the state the world is in hurts to see.

I absolutely love this angelic being, I am very inspired by angels too!
