Technology brings more and more talented artists to the surface, who create astonishing digitally manipulated images on every possible theme, illustrating everything that you could possibly imagine. But, we still have the “classics”, for whom the pencil and paper are the genuine and compulsory materials in creating works of art. And this is what we are going to present to you today. 50 outstanding portraits of women created by the technique of traditional drawing, without any digital manipulation. Some of them can easily trick the eye into believing that they are real photos of real people, that’s how beautiful and expressive they are.

I’m very intrigued by Californian artist Brooks Salzwedel’s unique style and approach to these delicate works, that combine nature and rigid human-made structures. It’s nice to see work that brings in different non-digital materials to what we’re used to.

Mokeskine Sketchbook #001 on the Behance Network

In late 2008 I happened upon my first Moleskine sketchbook and I don't think I will ever use another brand of sketchbook ever again. The quality, feel, slight yellow tinge - all of it just so pleasant to draw on. When I first started sketching inside of the book, I felt my line quality and hatching were somewhat lacking and so I set myself a goal.
Karl von Clausewitz once wrote in his book, On War , that “ war is just politics by other means”. Taking into consideration that politics basically means the process in which people make collective decisions, the following posters produced here in the US back in World War II are prime examples of how our various federal agencies have motivated the public back then to make the best, most productive decisions during those trying times. Click on the individual images to find out more about each poster design’s history and origin.
