Easy folds tutorial 1# by Goay on deviantART I drew Frodo. Pencil on canvas paper. Thoughts Reddit? Stock Up on All Your Spring Activewear Needs at Ellie.com: Self.com Sometimes adding something new to your fit plan means mixing up workouts. (Maybe even just trying a hybrid class?) Other times, it's all about switching up your attire. It's actually a (totally unscientific fact) fact that feeling posh and sexy when sweating helps you push yourself a bit harder. And we found a cute, cost-effective solution to always staying ahead-of-the-game when it comes to a fashion forward sweat -- spring picks from luxury and activewear site Ellie.com. "[We wanted to] create exactly what girls want to wear now that fitness is becoming a lifestyle," says lead designer and former competitive tennis player Mari Tibbetts. Despite the site's dizzying array of activewear, we're loving their workout tanks with keyhole exposed backs, moto-inspired leggings and cushy sweaters and sweatpants to throw on after yoga, Spin or just a long run. --Kafi Drexel Image Credit: Courtesy of Ellie.com
Spectacular Moleskine Doodles Explode with Energy Philippines-based illustrator Kerby Rosanes proves that doodling can be so much more than scratching unintelligible scribbles on paper. Through his Sketchy Stories blog, Rosanes shares his wonderful world of doodling in a simple Moleskine sketchbook. Equipped with an ordinary Moleskine, a few Uni Pin drawing pens, and his innate gift for drawing, the artist is able to transport viewers to a world where tiny, cartoonish creatures explode with gusto to make up larger entities. Each of the illustrator's complex and crowded sketches are filled with minute details that allow the eye to wander and discover new characters and designs at every turn. The portraits are immediately mesmerizing, but even more spectacular when looked upon closely. Rosanes says that he's on a bit of an illustration high from merging animals with his "crazy doodle monsters" but admits, "I’m liking the results of every fusion."

Art School Exercises Happy New Year, Followers! I hope 2015 brings you positive change, renewal, and happiness. As for me, I will be bringing these things in my life, especially the latter, which I have been too long without. I would like to draw my own manga.

Thank you all for following this blog, and I dearly hope you have found something useful on it! If you want to watch me make stuff, I’m Oblights over on dA. Here’s wishing you the best on all of your artistic travels and beyond!! ~Oby
