Complete site overhaul

Geplaatst op
While taking my first vacation in many years, I've completely overhauled the entire site. I have wanted to give the tools a more fitting home since I created them, and I finally, finally found a little time. Here's a taste of what's new:
  • A critique forum
  • A lessons & tips area where I can post the best ideas and anatomical information that is sent to me. Some of you are pros with much advice to give!
  • A section for posting up books and other resources that you find helpful -- these double as support for the site
  • An ambitious goal to raise the money for NEW drawing tools, focusing on major challenge areas for artists. Read all about the plan here
Thank you all for making these tools such a massive success and your continued support over the years. I can't wait to meet you in the new forums!

Awesome! This is a tremendous site which I use literally everyday. Will definitely be making a donation before the year is out--it's only fair!

That makes me so happy to hear! I am thrilled beyond words every time I hear from someone who is benefiting from something I made. It's really quite inspiring... I need to find the discipline to practice every day myself!

I will without a doubt have to donate soon.
I use this site almost daily from my home and from my phone.
You and all the models deserve enormous amounts of kudos!

i use this tool almost daily in practice for my university classes, i will deffinetly throw some support your way! this site has been such a great help and will surely continue to do so.

That's amazing! I built this tool for myself just after I graduated college, because I was losing access to live models. That it's helped so many people who are still in school since that time makes me really wonder if I wouldn't have been a better student if I had thought of it earlier.

Thank you Kim for this site. In being new to figure drawing, (3 classes of the semester) it really helps me to expand beyond our once a week class. I can already tell that just drawing from your site's figures has helped in that I can be in that mode all week long and won't let myself get rusty. I'll be contributing to your site since I get so much out of it.
The redo looks fabulous BTW!!!
Kim - Site admin
You're a peach! You'll go far and speed ahead of the class with devotion like that.

This is an amazing overhaul indeed! I posted it on my FB page for my classmates to see. I hope the site becomes booming!
Kim - Site admin
Yeah! Thank you for spreading the word. There's few higher compliments. :)

Awesome, the site looks great! I heard about Pixel Lovely from my friends at school, and I've shared the site with plenty others. I practice from this site regularly and my teachers noticed a big improvement in my drawing. This site has been a life-saver!
Kim - Site admin
YES! I LOVE to hear that you got good feedback on your work after practicing here. So inspiring!

I've been using this site for at least a year, and it's been very helpful. With this recent update, you appear to be headed in a great direction.

I've been using this site for about 2 or 3 months and I can honestly and joyfully tell you my life drawing skills have improved, ten-fold!! Every time I put pencil to paper I surprise myself. I can't thank you enough for this website and I'm enjoying the new look. I will contribute as much $ as I can and a suggestion if I may...Could you add more models in different perspectives (top-down, bird's eye, foreshortening etc.) Now off I go exploring more interesting new features on this site.

Thanks again

That makes me joyful, too. I confess to having got out of the habit of using my own site long ago... I guess I just got caught up in making sites and programming, and forgot to keep on top of my art practice. Readying all the comments like this one have reignited my passion and energy for drawing a little every day, and I'm slowly starting to shake off the rust.

More angles and poses are definitely something on my list of things to do over time. I think we're going to be in for a lot of treats over the next 12 months or so if things keep going like they've been going. :)

Thank you so much for providing this wonderful site, I've used it on and off for the past year and have recommended it to many artists both beginner and not-so-beginner =) I plan to donate as soon as I have some extra funds, I can't wait to see what other awesome tools you come up with!
Kim - Site admin
Great to hear you've gotten so much use out of it!

YES! Man, I wasn't expecting anything like <i>this</i>! It's been too long since I've used this place, but this is a nice new addition. I will make it my goal to use this place, often.
Kim - Site admin
Surprise! ;)

Awesome site, really like it. I have never drawn as much as I do now, thanks to you!

One suggestion: a brief pause (say 5 seconds) between one pose and the next, to give some time to turn the page etc... would make it even better!
Kim - Site admin
Thanks Markus! I will keep that in mind. :)
