About Us

Looking for an artist? Want to see some pictures drawn by the hundreds of excellent artists on Neopets? After some tips on how to draw or colour your favourite Neopets? Look no further!

The Neo Art Directory is your portal to all the art on Neopets, all in one helpful webpage. If you just want to browse, try the links to the right to take you to the section that interests you most. If you're looking for something specific, you could use the ctrl-f function of most browsers to bring up the find menu to search for a user or keywords such as 'anthro' or 'anime'.

The Step By Step Paint Brush

Our site logo, and our linking image is the Step By Step Paint Brush or SBSPB. This picture is a celebration of all the different styles, talents and imaginations that make art on Neopets great.

It is a picture of a paint brush, that great Neopian icon, in a new and special colour: one that progresses through the artistic process from the first idea to the finished picture. At one end it's a sketch, or a doodle, or blocking, or whatever your first step is in creating a picture, and at the other it's a finished work of art!

Because there's no one process that everyone uses to make their art, it isn't one picture at all, but one picture each! Have a look at the Join section below to find out more details about making your own SBSPB.

Artists

Without the artists there would be no point to this page, so without further ado let me introduce the artist section of this site! Here you'll find a list of all the artists in the directory, with links to their galleries, adoptables, tutorials, and any other Neo-related art things they have, as well as a little information on their style and technique.

The artists are displayed in the order they joined the site, although I may reorder them later for fairness' sake. They are, of course, displayed using their SBSPBs.
