http://www.lackadaisycats.com/exhibit.php?exhibitid=333 Boy, I didn't know what I was getting myself into when I started this. I've had requests for some sort of expressions tutorial dating back a while now, so I figured, "Sure! I can explain expression drawing...and it'll be way better than all those tutorials out there that are nothing but charts of generic expressions.

How to Draw

http://tearain.tripod.com/hp/draw/draw.html 1. One of the very best things you can do to improve your drawing is to draw from life, which means actually drawing what you see in front of you. Whether it's your mom or a fork, the better you get at accurately drawing what you see, the easier it will be to transfer the image in your head to the paper in front of you. This is also really good if you aren't sure how to draw something from memory - say you needed to draw a light bulb but weren't sure exactly how all the little inside wires worked - find a light bulb and draw it, paying attention to what you don't know, and chances are next time you need to draw one, you'll have it there in that mental library.

Unlike the word processing programs (let’s just lump Excel and Powerpoint in here for argument’s sake too) you use to finalize reports, write memos and tally sales, real life doesn’t have an undo button. You might be able to ctrl+z your way into that promotion, but it won’t unsend an email or unsign important documents. The same thing goes for writing/drafting/note-taking/etc. when it comes to your tool of choice. If you know it’s going to be permanent and you’re never going to change it, write it in pen. If it might need modifying, use a pencil because it’s one of the few things that has an undo option.

If you’ve been known to practice some nude life drawing on the weekends (no, that’s actually not a euphemism for anything) but you’ve never made the transition to digital art, now is the time. Wacom—the company behind the only drawing tablets worth owning—has designed a pen that converts your ink drawings into vector or raster graphics. Using the same technology found in their tablets, the Wacom Inkling pen captures natural pen strokes with 1024 levels of sensitivity. So basically, unlike the hundred other digital pens you’ve seen before which are barely suitable for note taking, this one actually accounts for how hard you press down to create a varied line thickness. http://coolmaterial.com/tech/wacom-inkling-digital-drawing-pen/
