Anneke (Merry-Go-Round) Because I got many requests, I will also write in Dutch from now! Lines, dots, circles, arcs, the S-shape, and arising therefrom ovals, triangles, squares and rectangles, scrolls and spirals, waves and zigzags....With these basic elements we build up the tangle patterns, they form the basics of Zentangle®! Quite soon after I had read the directions in the Diva's Weekly Challenge #123 I knew I wanted to create "something" with those. What a nice challenge!!But not before yesterday evening because my week was filled with fun outings. Omdat ik veel verzoekjes kreeg, zal ik vanaf nu ook in het Nederlands schrijven! Lijnen, stippen, rondjes, bogen, de S-vorm, en daaruit voortvloeiend ovalen, driehoeken, vierkanten en rechthoeken, krullen en spiralen, golf- en zigzaglijnen....Met deze basiselementen bouwen we de tanglepatronen op, ze vormen de basis van Zentangle®! Wednesday was for household chores (pffft) and the half-yearly dentist visit (everything okay, yeah!). Thanks to: Met dank aan:

Gurney Journey Maps and More Excellent Digital Painting Video Tutorial for Beginners If you’re a noob in digital painting and struggling to create your first digital masterpiece, you need a very good video tutorial to get you up to speed fast. Otherwise, you will quickly run into problems and get frustrated fast. I have tried many tutorials on the web but a lot of them assume you already know what settings to use for paint brushes in Photoshop, such as what size, shape, opacity and flow, and how to apply colors, textures and blending to your painting. Other video tutorials were recorded several times faster than normal or recorded without sounds so you wouldn’t really learn from them. This is where I will share one digital painting video tutorial that I found when I was starting that really got me up and painting in no time. I found this in the CGSociety Forum created by Neil Fontaine or “architectus”. Update: Neil has given me permission to upload the video on the web, so now you can view it directly below. Good luck and tell us how you did! Tagged as: Digital Painting
Be Your Own Boss -By Dan LuVisi I want to tell you guys a story. I've told this journey of mine at several workshops, from Gnomon Workshop, to some colleges, and in Portugal at the Trojan Horse Was a Unicorn event (which I suggest you sign up for this year, as it's fantastic). I'll be giving this speech at OFFF in Barcelona, Spain this year, so please come by if you're a reader of this blog.For those that can't attend, here is Part 1 of this speech. I've been told it's a bit of a lifter for the spirt, and motivational to artists who want to build their own world--something I feel we should be doing more of with the lack of creativity coming out of Hollywood these days. One day I woke up, and I decided I was going to make a book. This wasn't pre-meditated, and I had no idea what that book was. I had just come off a pretty ruthless tour of work, with a client who I'd like to believe could be a perfect dictator. Towards the end of 2008, I took a risk. Let's back up. I'm a child of ADD. But then it hit me:
7 Ways Doodling Will Change Your Life As Hilary Clinton sat listening to speeches on global security and the Middle East during a Security Council meeting at the U.N., she was seen scribbling furiously on her speech in front of her. Making last minute changes? Adding questions that needed answers? No, she was doodling. But just because she was doodling doesn’t mean she wasn’t listening, and it certainly doesn’t mean she wasn’t thinking. 01. You can think of your brain as treading a fine line between arousal and inactivity. When your brain has nothing to do, current research suggests that it goes into a default mode, enabling certain circuits that let it sit and wait for the next task without using up too much energy. If it is just a matter of keeping your brain engaged, then take a leaf out of Hilary Clinton’s book and doodle whatever comes to your mind, spirals, abstract shapes, anything will do to keep your mind from falling into that default state and no longer paying attention to the outside world. 02. 03. 04.
Using the Mixer Brush tool in Photoshop CS5 and CS6 Posted in: Tips & Tutorials, by The Advanced Photoshop Team The Mixer Brush tool is selected from the same option set as the Brush tool. With this brush selected, you can combine multiple colours on one tip, as you would in a real-life painting. For even more realism, the Mixer Brush tool has a host of controls over paint wetness, the load rate for paint, the rate at which paint mixes and whether a brush is cleaned, refilled or both after every stroke. An advantage of this tool is the ability to turn a photo into a realistic painting with ease. Step 1: Load or clean the brush Here you can pick what happens with the brush once you have made a new stroke. Step 2: Brush presets There are a whole bunch of presets for the Mixer Brush, as shown here. Step 3: Sample all layers If you want to turn a photo into a painting, you can create a blank layer on top of the photo to paint on and then tick this box.
