THE ART CENTER / Sharing Ideas And Tips From Artist To Artist
Someone asked a question about the process of painting a character, so I'll take a stab at that one. There are many processes that each have their strengths, but for the sake of learning this is what I'd suggest. This process is based around the way 3d rendering programs work, using separate passes and combining them together for the final effect. First of all, start with a sketch. Pick up the lines as a layer, and switch the layer type to multiply or Gel if you're in Painter. These next steps can almost be done in any order. On a separate layer, paint the occlusion in. Now, on a new layer, paint in a single light source. Here is what the lighting layer and the occlusion layer look like when they're both visible on a blank background. Here's what those layers look like applied over the colors I painted earlier: If you want any more lights in the scene, use a "Screen" layer, which acts as a true additive layer. Related:  Arte

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:

Shows - The "Here Comes Honey Boo Boo" Scandal: Mama June Speaks Out Earlier this year, 9-year-old former child pageant star Alana “Honey Boo Boo” Thompson saw her four-year reality television reign come to an end after reports surfaced that her mother, June “Mama June” Shannon, was allegedly dating convicted sex offender Mark McDaniel — who pleaded guilty to molesting Mama June’s oldest daughter, 20-year-old Anna, who recently publicly confirmed that she was his victim.

'Annabelle Forest' was forced to sleep with 1,800 men by age 18 in Satanic sex cult The daughter of a woman involved in a Satanic sex cult has revealed her evil mother made her sleep with 1,800 men by the time she was 18. The woman, who has called herself Annabelle Forest, was initiated into the sick cult after having to watch her mother perform a sex act on the cult's ringleader Colin Batley at the age of seven. At 11 she was raped twice by the man, and three years later made to take part in group sex with her mother at their home near Llanelli in Wales, where at least two other households on the street took part in cult activity.

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.
