Craftytuts Expert Writers:


Hi there, my name is Paula, I’m an illustrator and art enthusiast. I love the peace that comes with creating art, and will try my best to share that feeling and knowledge with you.

I also love pets, sightseeing, candy, and books. I dream of traveling the world, drawing and writing, and learning new things.

I hope that my articles may start you on the ever-challenging path of art and self-improvement.


Hello, my name is Martin. I’m 40 years old and I’m a nostalgic dude who likes to make art.

I’m a 3D artist and illustrator, but I love all kinds of mediums where I can express myself; such as painting, drawing, writing and comic books. (I’m legally forbidden to sing, as it brings memories of medieval torture to my audience).

Join me in the wonderful journey through the world of comic books as my articles will help you not only understand but will also teach you how to make your own!
