For those that were keeping up with the series, thanks so much for reading and providing feedback! I know I might have left out some info here and there, but you have to understand CSS3 is quite an extensive topic to break down and explain at beginner level, so really thanks to those that also reminded me about the few things I might've missed out. It's even more difficult to explain since I don't have CSS3 pr

PE: Traditional Critique Tips
As part of Project Educate Critique week, the Community Volunteers would like to share more art specific elements to consider whilst giving good critique.
Today we are looking at the Traditional Art gallery, with our Top 10 (or so) Tips provided by the wonderful assistance of Lyricanna (https://www.deviantart.com/lyricanna)
I am by no means an expert but I have picked up a few tricks over the past 5 years that I hope will help others.

PE: Seniority, What Does It Mean?
Senior Week
Seniority on DeviantArt is that cool thing that gives a user a pretty medal next to their username. Today I'd like to shine a bit of light on what seniority actually means.
Before we dive into all of this though I'd like to start out by quoting FAQ #29: https://www.deviantart.com/help/29 - How do I become a Senior Member?
"So what does it take to become a Senior? That's a question many have asked and have never really been able to get a straight answer on. Some have gained Seniority as a thank you for their time spent as a Volunteer, or to recognize their contribution to a particular project or collaborative action. Some have gained Seniority because of their community spirit, providing help and a

A Rather Impressive Equipment
A scanning electron microscope (SEM) is NOT a microscope with a bunch of electronic equipment around it to make better pictures. It's a specific type of microscope using and electron beam to create pictures instead of light. Scanning electron microscopes are not the only type of electronic microscopes. Infact, there are several others types that delve even further in matters of magnification or sample type. However, I will not go over all the various electronic microscopes as it would require a a much longer article

Photo Editing
A Vignette is an editing effect that we can use to highlight something within a photo - but you don't need to overdo it. Often we think of Vignetting as something negative that occurs when we have a lens hood on and darkness starts to appear around the edge of our photos. There are other reasons a vignette can occur as well such as various filters or the lens and how you have it zoomed in or out. But there are ways in which you can utilise a vignette to make your photograph a bit more appealing. Alternatively you can use Vignetting to improve your Photograph if you have some unwanted effects. There are some main terms used to d

Resin Casting
Artist's Toolbox Week
Using resin in your artwork
Hey guys! I’ve been wanting to write a tutorial on resin casting/pouring for a bit now (and I promise one is in the works!), but in the meanwhile, I think it would be good to explain what epoxy resin is, safety concerns, and of course, how AWESOME it is!
I started using epoxy resin in my paintings almost two years ago after being introduced to the resin paintings of Bruce Riley during ArtPrize 2013. I was initially drawn to finding a way to achieve visual depth on a 2 dimensional surface. Now, of course it is more than possible to depict spatial depth by using perspective, but my painti

Crystals are an awesome subject for photography. Snow crystals are of course the most common, but you don't want to limit yourself to winter season. So what about growing your own crystals ? It's in fact very easy.
Sugar Crystals
Some are far better than I am in explaining how to create sugar crystals, so here is a video tutorial:
Here are some photographs of sugar crystals.
The process described in the video can be used with salts and other materials to create other kinds of crystals. If you want really big crystals all you need is a lot of patience. Single crystals of several centimetres may require several mont

History of Paleontology Art
Since the beginning of times, the way we see dinosaurs has been in constant evolution, with the discovery of new fossils and their study. Let's take a look at the history of this illlustration.
Dark Ages
Fossils of gigantic animals have been discovered far before the 19th century, and in general used as proof of the existence of dragons and other mythical creatures.
The Giant Reptiles
The first remains of dinosaurs to be identified by science as remains of extinct animals have been classified as some kind of lizard. The Iguanodon and the Megalosaur have been described as giant lizards. S

Whatever you are working with microscope or just macro photography you are familiar with the problem of limited depth of field.
Whether working with a microscope or macro photography you will be familiar with the problem of a limited depth of field. However, as artists we can sometimes use this a limited depth of field in a creative way! Unfortunately, when working with a very large magnification your image will be ruined. So how does one overcome this problem and create the following incredible image?

Why a Microscope ?
Optic Microscopy is very similar to Macro Photography as both use visible light and magnification to take pictures of small objects. The difference is the magnification capacity of the microscope and the ability to light objects. The magnification capacity makes a huge difference when you look at objects

The Radioactive Part of Photography
X-rays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum, which means it's light, just like visible light infra-red or radio waves.
Picture via wikipedia : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light
X-rays are well known for their ability to pass through materials. This particularity is due to the energy level of this type of light. Lights with more energy pass more easily through materials. This energy is also related to the damage that this radiation can produce. UV light is dangerous for your skin, X-rays are known to be dangerous, and gamma rays are sometimes called "death rays".

What Is a Crystal ?
Crystal is the solid form of a substance in which the atoms or molecules are arranged in a definite, repeated patterns. The formation results in one of three ways: a liquid may cool or freeze into a solid; dissolved matter may precipitate out of a solution; or gases may condense into a solid form. The external shape of the crystal -- smooth, symmetrically arranged, flat surfaces -- reflects its atomic structure.
The most common crystal in photography is snow, but there are many other crystals around us and they can all be beautiful.
One of the surprising aspects of crystal is the variation of the

A Brief History
From the beginning of civilization, the study of the sky has been a constant theme. Some scientists even claim that the prehistoric paintings of the Lascaux Cave are in fact depictions of constellations. True or not, astronomy is definitely one of the oldest sciences, if not the oldest.
For centuries, maps of the sky and the universe were created, most of them with a religious idea in mind.
Aside from the spiritual aspect of astronomy in the Occident, stars are also used for sea navigation. The Arab civilisation is at the origin of many star names and precise measurements of star positions.
