Hi folks! Tutorial Tuesday is going to be a basic one – I’m a bit under the weather currently so this may not be the best post, but I want to give you something that I feel is important in the world of drawing – some pointers on foreshortening. Check this out. Foreshortening is basically an optical illusion created from a compressed looking drawing in perspective. This perspective is distorted in order to create a false sense of depth, and is used a lot in comics – Superman flying with his outstretched arm coming out of the page, or a fist connecting with a villain’s face, etc. These comic drawings you see that appear to come off the page use some form of foreshortening to create that illusion. There’s several ways artists choose to render their drawings using foreshortening. Receding Plane Technique Scruffy Ronin uses a method that relies on a drawing a flat plane that recedes into space as a boundary.

Lackadaisy Expressions - StumbleUpon Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.

Color Theory A page from the "Causes of Color" exhibit... Color theory is a human construct. We need ways to define what we mean by color, and how colors can be ordered, related to each other, and adjusted to become new colors. Color theory attempts to meld together the facts we have about color in a way that gives us common ground to discuss and use colors. Color is a perception, a response of the brain to data received by the visual systems. What is real is that objects emit light in various mixtures of wavelengths. Early studies of the nature of color The detailed understanding of the science of color began in 1666, when Isaac Newton, using two prisms, observed that white light was composed of all the colors of the rainbow, and could be identified and ordered.

Hand Tutorial -Tips+Reference- by *Qinni on deviantART untitled Posted by: Lakshal Posted date: March 6, 2012 | 9 comments Tags: actions, mulletgod, photoshop A few years ago, I decided to make some Photoshop actions to make editing a little easier for people. There are so many simple things that people do in Photoshop that are tedious because of the click, click, click, drag, click nature of things in the software. Actions help with automating the process, doing much of the hard work for you. I had a website dedicated to these actions but that site was hacked and subsequently infected my main wedding photography website which obviously was not a good thing. The easiest thing to do was to delete the entire actions site and I’ve been redirecting people to this site ever since. These actions are completely free of charge but I would love it if you could make a donation to Médecins Sans Frontières if you enjoy using the actions. Download the actions here

How to Draw the Head From Any Angle | Stan Prokopenkos Blog - StumbleUpon The Basic Forms To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, “Drawing the Head & Hands”. The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones. A Sphere as the Cranium The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones Attach the shape of the jaw. Constructing From Any Angle Step 1 – Determine the angle of the ball The angle of the head is established at the very beginning of the drawing with the ball. X Axis - The up and down tilt is established by the angles of the horizontal and vertical lines in the oval.

Learn to be an Illustrator Good drawing is the basis for illustration. Once you have mastered the fundamentals of drawing, adding color is not a difficult transition. The transition from line to tone is much harder, in my opinion, than the transition from tone to color. If you still have doubts consider this fact: Leonardo Da Vinci produced over 15,000 notebook pages littered with drawings in his lifetime, but left behind less than 20 paintings. Likewise, Vincent Van Gogh insisted on focusing on drawing fundamentals for two years before he put oil to canvas. Mastery of the fundamentals is more important than any advanced technique. Included below are some suggested resources and reading to push you in the right direction. It will take years to master the above skills, but take heart - it takes every artist years to master drawing.

Tutorials April 26th, 2013 I am prepping for some shows I will be attending (MECAF in May and Kids Read Comics in June). I didn’t have any new comics printed since last year, so I decided to make up some minicomics featuring my short Zombie Bunny comic. I’m also reprinting my Captain Bacon comic which I sold as a mini last year. I love doing these quick homemade type books, and I love buying them from other artists as well. I’ve seen other artists make both down-and-dirty-photocopied-stapled numbers and the really-fancy-expensive-paper-individually-screen-printed kind. January 24th, 2012 Apple released a new piece of software called iBooks Author. Click to read more and download the book! December 5th, 2011 I’m finally going to answer, in depth, one of the most common questions I’ve gotten over the past few years – how did I build my website? Most artists ask me this because they want to know a) how I built my portfolio gallery or b) how I integrated my blog into my website.
