Welcome to Diadem Graphics

Hey everyone, welcome to Diadem Graphics! This blog is meant for all you out there who think computer graphics, whether 2D, 3D, or whatever, are the coolest think in the world, and you want to learn more about them. But where to begin? Graphic arts are no simpler to create than oil paintings. The tools are different, but the concept is the same. As in a traditional painting, an artist's touch is still needed to create something breath-taking. However, not even those born with all the artistic ability in the world are able to just pick up a brush and a canvas and paint the Mona Lisa. Those with talent have the responsibility to hone their skills through practice, and every great arist had tons of practice before he painted his masterpiece. The old addage helps in this situation: practice makes perfect, no matter what your skill level.

This blog endeavers to offer a simple guide to those seeking to enter the wonderful realm of computer graphics. I do not claim to be a great graphic artist: I myself still have so much to learn. I do, however, hope to pass the skills I have learned on to beginners. Since every good artist needs tools, my next several posts will introduce some of the best, cheapest programs available for creating graphics. Until then, remember this: an artist is not just inspired, but has the will to follow his up inspiration with hard work.

Sweet! Learning about computer graphics seems so abstract to a novice, but this makes it clear that, with time, it's no harder than painting!
 
First of all, brilliant page. I love the layout and the structure. I like your structure so far of first introducing the tools needed and then commenting on how to use those tools.

I also really enjoy how this blog is like a starting point. Thank you for providing links to other sites where we can learn more details about a particular subject rather than cluttering up your blog with information on a subject that one person doesn't care bout as much as another topic.

Thank you so much for making this blog: I look forward to reading your future posts!
