Free High Resolution Textures - About Lost and Taken
"Caleb Kimbrough of Lost and Taken is one of the leading authorities when it comes to textures." - Steven Snell of Vandelay Design Hello, my name is Caleb Kimbrough and I run things around this joint. Aside from making the textures here on L&T, I also create content for design blogs and magazines around the world. I actually get to make textures for a living, how cool is that? In my spare time I enjoy good music, good beer, and good company. Oh, and the occasional wanderlust-induced traveling spree. "Lost and Taken is a blog dedicated towards free high resolution textures. Lost and Taken was created over two and a half years ago with one intention: to helps designers by giving away the best free textures available. "I stumbled on Lost and Taken, which has now absorbed a considerable amount of my time ...I might sped the rest of my night on this site " - David Schloss of Mac Create Network

Un proceso de diseño comienza casi siempre por la necesidad que tiene la empresa de RE-DISEÑAR, DISEÑAR ALGO NUEVO o muchas veces ADAPTAR UN DISEÑO, este parte de varias áreas de la compañía, pero es direccionado casi siempre por el área de mercadeo o los directivos.

How to draw faces
Eyes are the windows to the soul but to nail a portrait you’ve also got to get the frames, bricks, door and drainpipes right. We asked a range of artists how to draw a good face… Wherever possible, draw from life “A face is a 3D object, so it’s better to do it from life than from a photo, because a photo is already flat,” says illustrator Emma Reynolds. “If you can go to life-drawing, that’s the most useful thing you can do. It helps with measuring, light and shadow, your whole visual awareness and vocabulary. Try to think of it as a series of shapes, not a face “It’s very easy to fall into the trap of drawing what you think things should look like, without really observing the person in front of you,” says portrait painter Joe Simpson. “I break the image down into its component elements,” says illustrator Owen Pomery. “I start with the brow – that’s the strongest point. Try not to worry about flattery “With a commission, I tend to take photos of the person, while I’m talking to them.

wind-up paper butterflies are my fave (guest post from amelia)
I had a baby so I’ve invited some fave guests to take over for me while I spend time with the little guy. Today’s post is from super crafter and cute mom, Amelia of The Homebook. Growing up, I had an aunt who lived in Canada. Every year for my birthday she’d send me a card and a fancy little gift. I made my butterflies into Monarchs, but you could use different materials to create any sort of colorful butterfly. Materials: You’ll need heavy cardstock, 24 gauge wire, silicone rubber bands (I found mine in the hair aisle at Walgreens) needle-nose pliers, scissors, tape, a paintbrush, a black marker, and a white ink pen. Step 1: Measure and cut your wire. Step 2: Find the center of the longer wire. Step 5: Find the center of the shorter wire, and wrap it around the base of the paintbrush. Step 8: Draw the shape of your wings and cut them out. Step 11: Tape each wing to the body of the butterfly. Thanks for the chance to finally figure out how these darned things are made, Melanie!
