Quickposes: pose generator for figure & gesture drawing practice PSG Art tutorial 2014 foreword added 2018 Is it possible to write a general tutorial on painting pretty pictures or is this art-thing too complex and magical to ever be understood, a thing for human intuition only?

Following recent discussion on the applicability of blogs as distributors of information, I am going to try a tactic whereby I outline an argument I’ve been cultivating and testing for nearly two decades. Shameless Plugging No, really shameless plugging. I’ve recently begun using product producer site RedBubble.com to make items for sale for my art. Skull illustrations:
