Beer House People that live in glass houses shouldn’t throw bricks, but apparently people that drink beer can live in glass houses. by Joe LaurFollow me on Twitter Came across a very cool story on Ecoscraps today. How To Draw A Wave This art tutorial, kindly donated by surfing comic strip illustrator and surf artist Bob Penuelas covers how to draw a wave the Wilbur Kookmeyer way! If you're like me, then you've probably spent a lot of time in high school class daydreaming and doodling a thousand perfect cartoon waves in your notebook. It's safe to say that ninety percent of us surfers have a habit of scribbling perfect waves whenever a pencil is in our hands. Artist Transforms Stuffy Old Lace Into Fantastic Street Art (Photos) Photos: NeSpoon (via Behance) If you associate hoodie-concealed men sporting spray cans with street art, think again. Think crocheted bicycles, yarn bombing and random acts of planting. To be sure, traditional urban art is dominated by men. But the last decade has seen the rise of a number of talented female urban artists whose diverse subject matter ranges from candy-colored caricatures to abstract shapes and constellations -- and whose tools range from spray paint to more unconventional means of expression.

Lizzy Stewart’s Charming Folk Art Inspired Illustrations Lizzy Stewart is a British illustrator who makes incredibly charming images.

Aside from her drawing and painting, Stewart makes graphic novel-style books as well. Just Some Art... Just Some Art...

Tutorial Tuesday: Foreshortening Tricks 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.
