Oh, Those Artsy People!

Nanowrimo isn't all writing-based! There is an art community too, where Nanoers can share their art, participate in collaborations and art fights, trade artworks, and more!

Here are some threads and posts that stand out in the artsy part of Nanowrimo.

In April of 2019, a thread appeared on the Art Class forum under the name, "Planning a YWP MAP (Multi-Animator-Project". Clicking on this thread lead to a brilliant idea where anyone, regardless of past experience or skill, could contribute a part to Nano's very own Multiple Animator Project, to the song High Hopes by Panic! At the Disco. The project has been going for quite some time, and only a few more parts are needed to complete the MAP.

One part in particular stood out to me from the MAP. I thought Rosa's part looked gorgeous and it was clear she'd spent a lot of time and effort on it. Her background went really well with the lyrics in her part, and her OC looked really cute too! Thanks for your hard work, Rosa!

Here's Rosa's part, and give her a round of applause!

Everyone is working really hard on this, and the finished product will be amazing with so many talented artists involved!

There's also a trio of really cool threads, hosted by chromgradulations! The Art Fights are definitely one of my favourite parts of the Art Forum, and we're currently in Round Three- Battle of the Tacolovers. Team One members are a fan of Taco Time, whereas Team Two like Taco Bell. 


These art fights get really intense! Though teams have usually only had 4-7 people, last round a team collected more than 5000 points! That's a lot of drawing!


I'd like to give a small shout out to Nanoer ViveLaPluto, who compiled all the artworks from the Art Fights together into one folder so we could see them all! Everyone works really hard on those, so it's super great of Vive to put them all together for us. *cheering*

Finally, because I'm sure you're all tired of me, I'd like to show you one of my favourite artworks in the Share Your Art forum, where anyone can post art of any medium they've made and receive much squealing and love.

August by Coopbella

This is a beautiful drawing of my pal Coopbella's OC August, by Coop herself! She's an incredibly talented artist and this drawing of August just sticks to me. Great job, Coop! <3

That's all from me for now! The artists of the YWP are all super talented people, and I hope if you don't usually frequent the Art forums that you'll go check it out!
There's a lot of incredible work to see there.

Biblio-Files: The Secret Garden

By
Hello good friends! Today we will be reviewing The Secret Garden. Published in 1911 by Frances Hodgson Burnett, it's a fantastic book about enjoying the outdoors and how much a good friend can help someone out. The good message and excellent writing make it a beloved classic still read today, over 100 years later. She also wrote "The Little Princess" and "Little Lord Fauntleroy," both books I have read and enjoyed, though I believe this is her best one. With its folksy characters and low-key plot, this book is perfect for readers who want to read at a slower pace. It talks a lot about the benefits of being outside and being kind to animals, but it doesn't feel overly preachy. The main characters are Mary, a sickly Indian girl, Dickon, a boy who can talk to animals, and Colin, the son of the master of the house. Together they bring a secret garden to life, becoming as strong and bright as the roses they grew within the ivy-covered walls. I, personall...

The Character Files: 01. Katniss Everdeen: The Girl on Fire, the Mockingjay, and the YA Icon

By
THE CHARACTER FILES 01. The Girl On Fire Hello everyone! And welcome to The Character Files , a weekly article I'll be writing that delves into analysis's of popular characters! Starting off, I'll cover the face of young adult dystopia herself - Katniss Everdeen. There will be spoilers for the Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins, so be warned! From The Mockingjay Part 1 Risen from the Ashes (Background) “District Twelve. Where you can starve to death in safety.” -Katniss Everdeen, the Hunger Games   As were most of the non career districts, District 12, Katniss’ birthplace, was rife with poverty. Disease and starvation were rampant, many people dying from them. (It is interesting to note that, despite seeing ill people frequently since her mother treats them, Katniss is not desensitized to seeing sickness. In fact, she is one of the least desensitized to it.) And...

Comparing Digital Art Programs

By
The world of digital art programs can be a tricky plane to navigate. Whether you're a budding digital artist looking for beginners programs to start on or a professional artist with a bunch of experience, here is a quick list of some of the more well-known names in digital art! Krita  - FREE Krita is a free, open-source software that is becoming much more popular among digital artists. The interface has full customization, so you can fix it to look almost however you want. It gives you access to all  brushes, colors, and other settings from the beginning without extra purchases. It's also quite advanced and powerful. Some drawbacks of Krita are that there is a learning curve, as the interface can be quite tricky. It's also very laggy and slow, especially on older laptops. (P.S.: If you like the software, consider donating to the Krita Foundation! They work on this software for free, and it's always nice to give back.) FireAlpaca - FREE FireAlpaca...
