Learn to Draw: Human Body
In drawing the human figure, is used to measure the head module and can be divided into 8 equal parts (Figure 1), ie, the head establishes a relationship of proportion to the trunk and legs, so the concept of ratio is the optimal balance between size of the parts that compose a whole. It is not enough to share, to draw a human body with realism, symmetry is also of fundamental importance for the design of the human body has a semblance between the right and left sides. In general, the human body does not hold exactly the same measures on one side and the other, there are small differences, often imperceptible when you look at, but noticeable when measuring. In the drawing, the axis of symmetry is represented by a vertical line from head, through his nose and into the space between the legs, as shown in Figure 2.

How Gamesalad Can Help You Create Your Own Video Game
This Austin company can turn almost anyone into a game developer. Gamesalad's Dan Treiman (far left), Tan Tran and Michael Agustin. It's one thing to post a few cute animal videos on YouTube or populate a Facebook page with photos and status updates. But it's something else to think that anyone can create video games. Or is it? That's a bias GameSalad, an Austin, Texas-based video game development company, is trying to turn on its head. Michael Agustin and friends Tan Tran and Daniel Treiman founded the company in 2007. They decided to move to Austin, a creative city with a low cost of living where their less-than-$20,000 self-funded startup capital would go further than in Silicon Valley. When they began to seek funding for their efforts, initially they came up empty. But the loose collection of attorneys, doctors and real estate investors just weren't "getting" the concept.

Los 'juguetes' que liberan la creatividad
Los niños crecen y dejan de dibujar. Dejan de pintar, abandonan las manualidades. ¿Van perdiendo la creatividad? "Nada más lejos de la realidad", responden Rubén Garrido e Inma Rodríguez, dibujantes e ilustradores que comenzaron, en 2008, a impartir talleres sobre audiovisuales y artes plásticas dirigidos a niños, principalmente. Los talleres para niños siguen un proceso estudiado. "Sus dibujos, cuando son niños, no simulan la tercera dimensión", continúa exponiendo Rubén Garrido. En definitiva, los talleres de Rubén Garrido e Inma Rodríguez tratan sobre eso: enseñar a los niños a expresar una creatividad que no están perdiendo, sino que está enjaulada como aquel pájaro hasta que se gira el juguete que lo libera, porque al crecer se nutren con nuevas perspectivas sobre todo aquello que les rodea y que, en cierto momento, difícilmente podrá volver a ser dibujado con formas planas y sin profundidad.
Indie Resources
On the 30th July 2014 the site got updated, restrutured and redesigned… however the update is still not finished and thus this new Indie Resources overview page is partly incomplete. In case you are missing something you can still check out the outdated old Indie Resources page until the update is complete. Thank you for your understanding. (Game Making Tools, Game Design, Postmortems, Programming, Project Management…) (Create/Download Graphics, Hire Graphic Designer…) (Create/Download Sound + Music, Hire Sound Designer/Musician/Voice Actor…) (Distribution of Game via Payment Processor, Digital Store, Free File Hoster…) (Starting & Running A Business, Game Revenue, Postmortems…) (released…but still unfinished. rest of the articles will be added in the next few days.)
