Making of Mr Woland and the Esoteric cats. 6) I worked on Mr Woland's body. To help me making this image more symmetrical I often rotated it in every direction. I changed the cat details on the Mr Woland's stick, now looking more discreet! I added a shade of blue at the bottom of the image to better harmonize the colors, and added a slight contrast to the image with the brightness / contrast command. 7) I corrected the face of the Woland: I made his eyes more symmetrical and emphasized on the darkening of the eyelids, then I went back again on the anatomy of the chest.

At this point the job was almost finished but I had the impression that the image was a little lukewarm so I did a little post production: playing with color curves, added red and then adjusted the saturation with hue / saturation command, at the end I added a glow layer to the highlights. I hope you could found in these few words some elements of interest and growth for your artistic skills.

The Art of Jaime Hernandez. In 1981 three Mexican-American brothers self-published their first comic book, Love and Rockets, and “changed American cartooning forever” according to Publishers Weekly. Over twenty-five years later it is still being published to critical and commercial success. Jaime Hernandez’s moving stories chronicle the lives of some of the most memorable and fully formed characters the comics form has ever seen. His female protagonists, masterfully delineated with humor, candor, and breathtaking realism, come to life within California’s Mexican-American culture and punk milieu.

In April 2006 Hernandez began serializing his work with the New York Times Magazine—all of which will be collected here in full color. Praise for The Art of Jaime Hernandez:"The Art of Jaime Hernandez is proof of what I've been trying to convince comics artists to do for thirty years. Corel.painter.official.magazine.issue.02. TL;DR. The second bit of advice a beginning artist usually gets is “draw from life”. And it is excellent advice! After all, if you can't draw what is right in front of you, you certainly won't be able to draw what you see in your imagination either.

But the advice is a bit short, and will usually leave the artist behind unsure of what to do next. This chapter will help you to get started by explaining some different sketching methods you can use. Materials? Ah yes. No tutorial would be complete without discussing the materials first. Figure 1.1. So... a ream of the cheapest copier paper you can find, or in a pinch, the inside of a pizza box. The most important thing to keep in mind is to start with the largest shapes, and gradually work down to the small details. The best way to explain this is by example. The first step is to block in the large shapes.

Originally from Hong Kong, New York-based illustrator Victo Ngai creates action-packed artworks with an expressive approach. Her compositions are always spiraling and moving, engrossing the viewer into worlds where mysterious floods, ghostly hauntings and supernatural beasts are all fair game. Ngai uses a subtle, dusty color palette and loose line work, filling the backgrounds of her pieces with patterns reminiscent of Buddhist painting and Asian textiles. Her works are busy but never overwhelming, with every detail arranged in an order that can’t help but make sense visually. Take a look at some of her latest works below.

(Video link) This 75-minute time lapse video shows Kim Jung Gi drawing an uber-complex street scene out of his head with no lay-in. The stream-of-consciousness marker drawing covers two walls. Judging from his change of shirts, it took about three days. It includes flying elephants, motorcycles, and an assortment of farm animals, all drawn from interesting angles. I got hooked and watched the whole thing, listening to Radiolab and Sidebar podcasts, since the video has no soundtrack. It might be better to watch it on the YouTube page to see the video full size. ----Review of Kim Jung Gi's sketchbooks for saleMuddy Colors post on Kim Jung Gi's books. LaFleur Studios » Connect.

Paper: Good for drawing if you can | The Chimerist. The iPad has made me more conscious of my utter lack of talent at visual art than anything that’s happened since the weekend painting class I took when I was nine. I think that’s because tablet-made art, no matter how sophisticated, still seems so novel and so accessible beneath the shiny, shiny glass, like some kind of delightful accident that could happen to anyone: I have this app, too, so why can’t I draw a cherry blossom tree like that? Obviously the same principle applies here as to actual pencil and paper. It’s not the tools, it’s the ability. And the patience. As tools go, though, I do like Paper, a simple app which allows you to create, and to sketch and diagram in, unlimited notebooks. I’ll always be devoted to my actual composition notebooks, but they get cluttered and filled with ephemera, and I can only keep track of one at a time.
