Truly Inspired Traditional Black and White Drawings Many people think that the tradition artwork will die in the time of digital life. Actually, the digital art is just another trend of the art development through the history. Unlike the digital computer arts, the traditional pencils and colors give you a physical sense of the artwork that you can touch and walk around. The sculpture is one of the traditional arts’ examples that cannot be replaced with a digital version or digital sculpture. The black and white artwork using the pencils and the charcoal is one of the challenging forms or art that uses only the gray colors to visualize the scene and ideas based on the light and shadows. The collections below includes amazing black and white artwork using pencil and charcoal with different hard and soft styles.

A great example of moodboards in action Design: The estimated time to read this article is 2 minutes At Headscape we have been using moodboards for some time as part of our design process. We believe that working with moodboards is considerably more effective than producing multiple design concepts. They have the advantage of being quick and easy to produce. This means that, unlike design concepts, they are disposable. However, as I said in my post ‘How Moodboards Can Save Time, Money And Your Sanity! Moodboards in action Recently I came across this concept video for Microsoft’s upcoming iPad competitor. Of course we don’t all have fancy (and as yet non-existent) tablets to create this kind of thing on. Hopefully this video inspires you to create freer, less structured moodboards that don’t take hours to craft.
bigThink Awesome Pencil Drawings From Students Notebooks Awesome Pencil Drawings From Students Notebooks Posted on 28 June 2010 Crni When I was in high school I was pretty bored on the most of the lessons I had to attend, especially maths and physics. So, I used to scrible different objects in my notebook and at the end of the year my notebook looked like true piece of artwork. However that wasn’t very helpful when I had to pass the exams. Update: Those outstanding drawings belongs to Andrea Joseph. It seems that lot of students have such hobbies, to draw anything while they’re bored during the lessons. Via Andrea Joseph’s Sketchblog.
Website Mood Boards: A Successful Precursor to Visual Prototyping | 404 Creative A few weeks ago, my company took a project to redesign a major charity’s website. After the initial documentation and planning stages was completed, we were ready to move into the visual design phase of the project. We decided to try a new approach, at least for website design, and show the client a series of mood boards to establish the overall atmosphere and emotional impact of the site before we plunged into the actual layout phase of the design. The idea was to show the client a variety of color schemes, patterns, photography, typography and illustrative elements to see what their responses were and to ultimately establish a visual tool set on which we would eventually develop our visual prototypes. A mood board helps establish the branding, design components, typography, imagery, and color palettes that will be incorporated in the design. While very difficult, we pared the choices down to 3 versions we wanted to present to the client. 1. 2. 3. One final note on our mood boards.

How to draw trees, rex vicat cole Page 11 / 22 ASSOCIATIONS are so inseparable from our conceptions of nature and art that we are unconsciously biased, and it is difficult to gain any fresh view of either. The key to this difficulty is a consistent following up of some particular truth or beauty observed, and this can only be done, as Samuel Smiles says, by " perseverance, knowledge, and ability diligently cultivated." Some aspects and arrangements of nature I cannot like, nor can I see them in any other way than the one I dislike.
