Pencils, Pixels and the pursuit of Awesomeness Mike Mattesi breaks down motion and form into a formula that concentrates on anatomical subtleties in Force Animal Drawing. Mike distills the essence of motion and form, and how they work together, looking at the big picture of gesture and action, rather than morphological details. Here, Mike specifically examines the motion and form of Digitrades. A digitigrade animal is one that stands or walks on its digits, or toes, by definition, although I see it more as the ball of the foot or pad of the hand. Digitigrades include walking birds, cats, dogs, and most other mammals. The most common of animals is the digitigrade class due to our household pets, cats and dogs. This image shows the FORCES of the rear leg up close. The common mistake artists make when they draw mammals in the digitigrade class is confusing which joint in the rear leg is the ankle. The close-up of the human hand displays the rhythms found in the front paws of the digitigrade animal.

3D Paintings on Panes of Glass Using multiple layers of clear glass, Canada based David Spriggs and Chinese born Xia Xiaowan, transform flat artwork into 3D sculptures. Viewers are treated to different shifting perspectives of the works based on where they stand in the art space. Spriggs work revolves around powerful explosive imagery, often resembling storms, cosmic blasts or firework like explosions. Xiawan’s “spatial paintings,” which often feature distorted figures, are drawn individually using colored pencil on tinted glass. Only when these pieces are combined on their floor racks do the images create the whole hologram like effect.
