Prop Art
soo prop art is using props to make more props or design, it is the most used overall.

uses:
Prop art is great to use in such different ways, like creating props that are season ticket exclusive, but you are poor, (like me), or create props that are not even in gimkit creative. some other sues like decoration, or even just random prop art, but has a hidden secret, prop art can be even interactive by many ways also.


ideas:
Space:
Make a cockpit with your own machines and chairs using prop art.

forest:
use different props to create other props to act as a secret.

cave:
try using multi props to represent colorful rocks and minerals.


Key factors when using prop art
when using prop art, you need to use variety of props, it may take a lot of time to find the prop, but it is worth it. coloring can create big difference also, so keep that is mind. flipping and changing directions can also help sometimes,

small steps create huge differences over time

all of these help make your prop art better and more colorful, it can even make your brain get tricked that this prop art is just a new prop.


barrier art
Next on the list, we have barrier art, it is useful and second most used in the gimkit creative, has lots of uses.

uses:
So barrier art is just so simple, and has lots of forms and uses, some of these uses are creating outlines, borders, slopes, shadows, and more. it can be more useful if it is 3D, yeah you can make this:

uses:
So text art can be used and maybe helpful, even writing with text helps!

Key factors when using prop art
Same as barrier art, dont overuse it.

tip 1

Something really important to learn is something called: Fundamentals!
Theres a lot of different lists for fundamentals, but heres one of them.

  • Form
  • Line
  • Shape
  • Composistion
  • Light
  • Value

These are the foundations of art, so make sure to learn them.

tip 2

Practice does make your art better! There aren’t really any shortcuts at all. However, dont look at practice and think, “I’m gonna draw every single day for the rest of my life!”
That’ll burn you out really quickly, and soon enough, you wont be drawing anymore.

tip 3

Try drawing multiple rough sketches. Don’t make them all the same, but make them all different. Maybe try putting the title in the middle, maybe try putting that one gim on the side, maybe try adding this prop, maybe try this perspective, etc etc…
Sometimes the first idea you have isnt the best one.

photoshop

somebody who makes thumbnails on photoshop or smth do this pls

gimkit creative

somebody who makes thumbnails on gimkit do this plss

more details will be added soon!
