Tutorial Tuesday: Drawing the Female Figure
Tutorial Tuesday is here, and this week we’re going to tackle the Female Figure in comics. The basic tutorials and tips I’m going to discuss here applies to drawing females in your typical American mainstream action-hero style. You’ll notice that females vary greatly from genre to genre – you wouldn’t necessarily use some of the tips in this tutorial to draw females in manga, or if you were doing an Indie style comic where the females are normal in appearance. The women in mainstream comics tend to be hyper-sexualized, over proportioned and exaggerated idealistic forms, much like their beefcake counterparts on the male side. For this lesson, I’ve used illustrations from Christopher Hart as a visual aid to explain my points. Okay – let’s begin. The Major Muscles and Forms The above diagram shows the major muscle groups found in the human body. In order to draw females, there’s a certain amount of exaggeration that goes into the curves of the breasts, hips, legs and glutes. The Upper Body

The Quickstart Guide to a Decluttered Home
By Leo Babauta One of my favorite habits that I’ve created since I changed my life 9 years ago is having a decluttered home. I now realize that I always disliked the clutter, but I put off thinking about it because it was unpleasant. The thought of having to deal with all that clutter was overwhelming, and I had too much to do, or I was too tired, so I procrastinated. Clutter, it turns out, is procrastination. But I learned to deal with that procrastination one small chunk at a time, and I cleared it out. Amazing because I didn’t really believe I could do it until I did it. Decluttering my home has meant a more peaceful, minimal life. For anyone looking to begin decluttering, I’d like to offer a short guide on getting started. Start small. These steps won’t get your home decluttered in a weekend.

Pilote comic magazine
Comics History The francophone comics magazines of the mid-20th century got big competition in 1959. On 29 October of that year, the first issue of Pilote was published. The magazine was an initiative of comics writers, René Goscinny and Jean-Michel Charlier, artist Albert Uderzo and Jean Hébrard. On the cover of the "number 0" issue of the magazine, there was a photo of a large group of men, presumed to be the magazine's collaborators. Astérix et Obelix by Uderzo and Goscinny Since Charlier and Goscinny were founding fathers of the magazine, they took on most of the initial writing. The team of later artists with Goscinny on the throne, by Didier Comès Several radioshows were adapted for comics, such as 'Bison Noir' (art Lucien Nortier) and 'Zappy Max' (art by Maurice Tillieux and later Jean-Louis Deveaux). Blueberry - Fort Navajo by Giraud and Charlier The magazine's future was in danger in 1960, when financial problems caused the investors to back out. Dingodossiers, by Marcel Gotlib
