Dont Make Me Over - StumbleUpon
For some reason, my readers weren't completely appalled with the Facebook drawings I did a while back. In fact, the requests came fast and hard (insert stupid sex joke here). Here's a selection of derpy drawings I did for your viewing pleasure.
Draw a beautiful body line work drawing artist Sarah Simblet Drawing | Desig...
IKAI | 2010/06/04 | 1 comment デッサン、デッサン、またデッサンな毎日のアルバトロデザイン代表 猪飼です。 写実的な絵の最も基本になるのがデッサンだと言われています。 デッサンは描画対象の人物やオブジェクトの形を捉えて、場合によっては凹凸や陰影で空間を表現するものです。 1.Sarah Simblet サラ・シムレット サラ・シムレットはまだまだ最近注目されたばかりの画家ですが、人体のアナトミカル・ドローイング(解剖学的描写)という手法において現在最も影響力を持っている人物です。 サラ・シムレットは風景画、特に自然を中心とした植物や花の絵も大変うまく、彼女の描くラインはただのデッサンを超えて、その線そのものが芸術と言えるぐらい気持ちの良い線を引きます。 知識や、脳内のデータをデッサンに持ち込むと、現実の図がどうしても湾曲されてしまう為よくない事という考えもありますが、彼女は知識と空間認知のその両方の能力を中立させた人と言えるでしょう。 サラ・シムレットは現在ロンドンを中心に個展や、講師をしています。 2.Sarah Simblet サラ・シムレットの作品と出版物 ANATOMY for the ARTIST サラ・シムレットは芸術家、ライター、フリーランスのドローイングクラスの臨時講師としてロンドンやオックスフォードで教えていました。 そして出版したのが、ANATOMY for the ARTISTという本です。 3.Sarah Simblet サラ・シムレットの作品と出版物 BOTANY for the ARTIST 自然に囲まれたオックスフォードでのんびりと暮らすサラ・シムレットにとって、周りの自然を描くことが彼女の日課であり、楽しみでもあります。 4.Sarah Simblet サラ・シムレットのスケッチブック とにかく描き、そしてよく考えることがいい画家になる条件であると言えますが、サラ・シムレットのスケッチブックにはいかに彼女が多くの絵を描き、考えてきたかが手に取るように伺えます。 Tags: Sarah-Simblet, アーティスト, イギリス, サラ・サムレット, デッサン, ドローイング, ロンドン Category: イラスト・アート

How to Draw Ears | Stan Prokopenkos Blog - StumbleUpon
For a video version of this tutorial visit www.proko.com/how-to-draw-ears-anatomy-and-structure In this tutorial I will go over the parts of the ear and suggest an easy way to remember all these complex shapes. At the end, I will show a step by step of an ear drawing. Basic Forms The simplified volume of the ear is very much like a megaphone. Just Remember “why?” At first glance the shapes in the ear seem random and confusing. Placement of the Ears The ears lie in the middle third of the face. In Perspective During an up-tilt or down-tilt the placement of the ears is very important since doing it incorrectly can break the illusion of a tilt. Anatomical Information Shading the Complex Forms of the Ear Concha The concha is the bowl-shaped part that attaches the back of the ear to the head. Helix The Helix is a semi-cylindrical form and should be shaded as such. Antihelix The antihelix is the Y shape inside the ear. Tragus and Antitragus Lobule Drawing the Ear 5.

page corner bookmarks | I Could Make That - StumbleUpon
This project comes to you at the request of Twitterer @GCcapitalM. I used to believe that a person could never have too many books, or too many bookmarks. Then I moved into an apartment slightly larger than some people’s closets (and much smaller than many people’s garages) and all these beliefs got turned on their naïeve little heads. But what a person can always look for more of is really cool unique bookmarks. Placeholders special enough for the books that are special enough to remain in your culled-out-of-spacial-necessity collection. Page corner bookmarks are cute, practical and deeply under-represented in the world.* They’re easy to make, easy to customize, and will set you apart from all those same-same flat rectangular bookmarks. If you like this tutorial, here are a couple others that might be up your alley. For the monster-loving adults in the room, try some googly-eyed paper monster wine charms. What you’ll need: Putting it all together: 1) Follow steps 2 and 3 from above.
Pop Culture Icons Impressively Carved into Crayola Crayons
Crayons don’t have to be just for coloring. In the case of Hoang Tran, they are the perfect material for tiny sculptures. Using large-size Crayola crayons, the artist delicately hand-carves them into pop-culture icons. Hello Kitty, Han Solo, and the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles are just some of the incredibly detailed figures that he’s able to produce. As if these creations weren’t impressive enough, they are made even more so with the addition of color. Tran melts wax from other colors of crayons and applies it as an accent to the main figure. Tran’s handiwork is available for purchase through his Etsy shop. Hoang Tran Etsy shop and Wax Nostalgic Tumblr via [BoingBoing]

How to Fold an Origami Pencil Cup Video – 5min.com
Here I’ll show you how to make a paper cup that can hold pencils, pens and other office supplies. I’m going to turn this 9X9 square into a water bomb base. First we’ll fold in half to make a triangle. Give it a nice crease and then unfold. Now fold in half to make a triangle from the other direction. This next step is a minor thing and you can really skip it but I’m doing it to make some guidelines. Now we can unfold this corner of the triangle. Once you’ve got both sides done, we’re going to reach in and pop open our pencil cup.

Ethereal Woven Metal Leaf and Seed Installations by Michelle Mckinney
U.K. artist Michelle Mckinney examines the contrast of manmade materials with forms of nature in her ethereal installations of leaves, seeds, and butterflies formed from handcut woven metal. The artist cuts each shape from copper, brass, or steel mesh which is then colored and assembled into the forms seen here. You can see more of her work over on Facebook and in her portfolio.
