bedtime paradox A couple of things today! One, a sort of un-announcement? I never really announced that I would be at the Calgary Expo cus I was never sure if I could make it! Now I am sure that I will NOT be able to go. I am saying this cus my name was on the site for awhile saying I was (it's not anymore). The only other show I am very sure that I will be going to this year is SPX.

Amazing drawings by Joe Fenton After studying sculpting at the Wimbledon School of Art, I went on to work for a few years in the film industry for directors such as Terry Gilliam and for companies such as Disney and Miramax as a film concept designer and sculptor in both London and Prague.

21 Keys to Magnetic Likeability This is a great list….for the U.S.. I think it is paramount, though, that we recognize that each of these points are but the surface layer of deep, cultural values. For example, one would not want to make frequent eye contact in Japan, or too little in the Netherlands. There is a story of a Dutch man who was under suspicion of sexual predator because all the American women at the company complained. The man had worked diligently for the company for many years, so they brought in a consultant. In a collectivist culture, perhaps India, speaking your beliefs might be construed as distracting- as putting your own needs before the good of the group. #10 is another good example. I guess what I would then add to the list, or make as a disclaimer perhaps, is that, above all one should be aware of one’s own cultural norms as well as the fact that there are many (even within the US- probably within your own office). (sorry this was so long)

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. Yeah! Just give me a day or two to whip something up..." Um. Anyway, I found all I could really do was try to explain ways to teach yourself...and then add some pictures.

They unconsciously use the writing pen grip they learned in elementary school, and it does not occur to them to even think of changing it. Yet many typical beginner’s problems with pencil drawing, from wobbliness to hatched lines, originate from bad grip. The “scribe’s grip” that feels natural for most people is surely the worst grip for drawing: writing and drawing are fundamentally different activities. Writing Latin cursive or pica is done with minute motions of the hand and fingers, with the elbow fixed; for it, the grip at the pen’s tip provides the optimal range of motion. I had encountered people who claim that the best way is to use whatever feels comfortable, and if that’s the scribe’s grip so be it. Pen grip Hold the pencil like you would hold the writing pen, but much further from the tip. Violin bow grip Brush grip Relax.
