Chapter 2. Human anatomy and figure drawing Before we start, I'd like to point out that knowledge of human anatomy is not a replacement for studying the body from real life or photos. So keep cranking out those sketches! (And hoarding those Victoria's Secret catalogs and similar magazines. Strictly for reference, of course.) But it will help you to recognize the features you are drawing, and it will certainly come in handy when you don't have a perfect ref to work from.

This section won't concentrate on the muscle structure, since the hand is very complex in this regard, and knowing this won't help much in drawing them. Instead, we'll look at proportions, range of motion, and possible simplifications. Structure and proportions Figure 2.20. Bone structure and proportions of the hand There is a very easy and surprisingly accurate way to remember the proportions of an adult's hand.

Tiger Painting. Free Oil Painting Art Lesson. Oil Painting Lessons How to Draw Art Books Charcoal Art Pastels Acrylics Perspective for Artists Step One - Drawing and First Layers This painting is quite large - over 22 inches wide, but rather than get daunted with the size , we must remember to apply the same principle that we would on a smaller painting, breaking it down into easy stages. Above you can see my pencil drawing on my already primed canvas. Step Two I then apply some initial colour to the canvas, using plenty of painting medium (Liquin) and raw and burnt sienna oil paints. Step Three Above you can see how I have continued to block in the base colours, giving the suggestion of where the main stripes will probably be.

This stage is allowed to dry overnight. Step Four Now I have a base to work over the paints look more opaque this time around. Step Five As more layers are added under painting details (our blueprint) can become lost, here I am just strengthening the stripes so I can see them more easily. Step Six Step Seven Step Eight.

A Graphic Design Primer, Part 3: Basics of Composition. Jun 27 2011 In the first two sections of this primer, we covered the basic elements of design, and the basic principles of design. In this section, we’ll cover the basic principles of composition. There are a variety of different composition theories you should familiarize yourself with. Since this is just a primer, there’s a brief overview of the most common and important theories. You’ll want to study each in more depth before putting them to use, so we’ve included some additional resources for each.

Single Visual The single visual method of composition is where a single, generally striking, visual image is used as the basis of the design. The single visual pattern is the easiest composition to successfully achieve. Sites like those created on About.me are a great example of the single-visual composition pattern. Jamie Brown’s website has a similar single visual design: The Divine Proportion The Rule of Thirds Resources: Focal Point Think carefully about what your focal point will be.

Closure. Startups, This Is How Design Works – by Wells Riley. Logo_guidelines.pdf. Playtype | Typographer's Glossary. Serif: Serif's are semi-structural details on the ends of some of the strokes that make up letters and symbols. A typeface that has serifs is called a serif typeface (or seriffed typeface).

Some of the main classifications of Serif type are: Blackletter, Venetian, Garalde, Modern, Slab Serif, Transitional, and Informal.

(The vertical parts of letters are thick.); strong contrast between thick and thin lines.

Kinetic Typography Tutorial | The Crooked Gremlins. 10 Things Garry Winogrand Can Teach You About Street Photography. (Above image: Garry Winogrand, World’s Fair, New York City, 1964. All photographs in this article copyrighted by the estate of Garry Winogrand) Garry Winogrand is one of my favorite street photographers that I have gained much photographic insight and wisdom from. He was in-arguably one of the most prolific street photographers of his time (he shot over 5 million photographs in his career) and one of the most passionate. However, he hated the term “street photographer” and simply saw himself as a “photographer”. It is an idea I later understood and respected very dearly, as Winogrand was more interested in making photographs than classifying himself for art historians.

I never understood a lot of the things that he said about photography like why you should wait a year or two before developing your shots, why photographs don’t tell stories, and how photographers mistake emotion for what makes great photographs. 1.

Crop, Retouch, Fill, And Create New Images With These 4 Online Photo Editors. 8 Effects Every Photographer Should Know About. Incorporating an Adobe Bridge Web Gallery. For many years, Dreamweaver has had a feature called Create Web Photo Album. It builds a photo album quickly, but the result is—quite frankly—horrible.

The code is ancient and bloated. It deserves to be consigned to the scrapyard. Fortunately, there is a much better solution, although many people have not discovered it, because it's part of Adobe Bridge CS4, which is installed automatically with a default installation of Dreamweaver CS4. Adobe Bridge is a powerful program that lets you organize your visual assets, such as photographs, illustrations, PDFs, and Flash movies. The Output Module in Bridge also produces an elegant Flash-based web gallery. You don't need Flash installed—Bridge does everything for you. The problem is that the HTML file created by Bridge displays the photo gallery full screen, leaving many people wondering how to incorporate a Bridge web gallery directly into an existing website. Saving the web gallery to your Dreamweaver website Next.

Artrage Home. ArtRage Tutorials and Resources. Why do you need reference images? The picture on the right was drawn without a reference image, except memory and my hand. However, it needs references for the face, the posture, the hand, the arm, the butterflies… if I want to finish it properly. Most of you have never stood with a tiger breathing into your face, watching the whiskers twitch, or felt the tremor of a soft mouse, with its heart jumping in your hand, or watched the sliding light along the side of a thrashing fish….

Many of you may have never held human bones, and few people pull off a butterfly’s wing to see how it fits, and they can’t pick a celandine and carry it with them as a memory of the colours. So what do you do when you need to know how an eye looks from the side, how a hand holds a fish hook, what muscles are where? You can’t do it all, and if you can, you can’t remember it exactly. Many of these things, you can find in real life – some you can draw from, there and then. Reference photographs and ArtRage. DIY Decor Tutorial: Rorschach (Inkblot) Wall Art | The DIY Homegirl. Recently, I was reminded of a past art/decor project. Many years ago— before Pinterest, before entering the blogging world, before knowing I wanted to be an interior designer— I created a few Rorschach “tests.” Rorschach tests were used back in the day by psychologists to help determine an underlying disorder with patients.

They’ve always fascinated me, because like other forms of art, there’s no wrong perception from the viewer. Each person has a unique response to them. When I first made these, it was just for fun, to see what would appear in the blots. Creating inkblots is very easy, but one thing I don’t like is that the fold in the paper is visible. Supplies: *Wax paper *Acrylic craft paint in 2 oz. tubes *Strathmore 300 watercolor paper (90 lbs.)— this can be bought by the sheet or as a pad at most craft/art stores. TIP: Watch out for the watermark so it doesn’t become part of your art. 1. TIP: when using this style watercolor paper, there’s a rough side and a smooth side. 2. 3. 4.

In case you do, here it is... :) Okay, so you’ve got an awesome idea for a pin that you want to make. Now what? Most people assume that making your own enamel pins is a long and complicated process. It’s not. So, how do you make your own enamel pins? The process of making your own pins can be broken down into these six steps. Prepare Your Artwork File In order to start production, the minimum requirement a pin factory will ask for is a PDF file of the design you’d like to get produced. You can either draw and color a sketch of your idea on a white piece of paper and scan it as a PDF file or, if you know your way around one of the many graphic design software options out there, you can send them a digital file of the art you’d like to get made into a pin.
