What children’s drawings would look like if it were painted realistically

What children’s drawings would look like if it were painted realistically
The Monster Engine is one of those projects that make me love the Internet for its ability to expose amazing creative talent to a worldwide audience. Illustrator Dave DeVries started with a simple question: What would a child’s drawing look like if it were painted realistically? In his own words: It began at the Jersey Shore in 1998, where my niece Jessica often filled my sketchbook with doodles. While I stared at them, I wondered if color, texture and shading could be applied for a 3D effect. As a painter, I made cartoons look three dimensional every day for the likes of Marvel and DC comics, so why couldn’t I apply those same techniques to a kid’s drawing? The Monster Engine is the 48-page outcome from that curiosity, and it looks wonderful. I project a child’s drawing with an opaque projector, faithfully tracing each line. Below are some of my favorite illustrations from the project. Buy “The Monster Engine” on Amazon.

How to Draw Fabric Folds Tutorial by Barbara Bradley Look for Several Types of Folds Five of the seven fold types--pipe, half-lock, diaper, drop and inert--appear in the abundant cloth of this Roman's toga.

Dessiner les expressions du visage Lorsque l’on a compris comment dessiner un visage, souvent vient le moment où se pose le problème des expressions. Et fatalement, on en arrive à se demander ” mais par quoi passe l’émotion, les yeux où la bouche?” la réponse est simple: les deux. Jean qui rit/Jean qui pleure le schéma classique, que tout le monde connait, se fait dans la dualité. Il y a la joie et la tristesse, leur influence sur les traits est facile à retenir puisque la joie est associée à des courbes ascendantes et la tristesse à des courbes descendantes. Mais le visage recèle un nombre de facettes quasiment illimité. c’est pourquoi voici un petit bricolage que j’espère très instructif…. la figure qui suit est faite sous flash. Dessiner les expressions du visage humain c’est un peu comme jouer avec monsieur patate… il suffit d’en changer un petit morceau pour changer toute sa personnalité. Si vous ne voyez rien c’est que vous n’avez pas le flash plugin, il faut l’installer. alors, heureux?

TheBloggess.com Make your own pom poms Pom Poms require a little bit of patience, but its quite satisfying when you finally get to cut them and produce your pom pom. You can make them whatever size you like, but I would suggest starting with a small pom pom so it doesn't take forever. You will need: CardboardCompass, or two circular items you can trace around.WoolScissorsMethodStep one in making pom poms is to create two donut shaped pieces of cardboard. Using your compass or larger of your two circular items, trace out two circles on your cardboard. I would suggest about 5cm (2 inches) diameter. Place the rings together. The next step is the trickiest in making pom poms. Pass a length of wool between the two pieces of cardboard, around all the strands of wool, and tie it firmly together. VariationsTo provide variety you could make pom poms in different colours, or use different coloured lengths of wool in the one pom pom. What next? One obvious idea is to use them on knitted hats. Another idea is a pom-pom 'puppet'.

[lou lubie] Les expressions du visage Avant de commencer ce tutoriel, je vous conseille d'apprendre à dessiner les têtes et les visages (proportions, architecture, rotations...).

Cher internaute, adepte des tchats ou de forums, j'ai une bonne nouvelle : vous savez déjà dessiner les expressions du visage ! Si vous pensez que non, voici probablement ce que vous dessineriez : Non seulement le personnage est inexpressif, mais en plus, utiliser des émoticons dans des bulles de BD (qui est du texte "oral" puisque le personnage le prononce) est à éviter absolument ! Pourtant, avec ce premier personnage, vous avez visuellement exprimé des émotions. Alors, pourquoi ne pas dessiner ces émoticons directement sur la tête de votre personnage ? Et c'est gagné ! Donc, quand vous avez un doute sur la manière d'exprimer un sentiment, cherchez lequel de ces émoticons vous utiliseriez. Découvrons un peu plus en profondeur les émoticons !

Font Management in OS X This section examines each of the various OS X releases (Panther, Tiger, Leopard, Snow Leopard, Lion, Mountain Lion, Mavericks) and provides the recommended minimum list of the fonts to be stored in the System folder for that particular release of the operating system in order for it and most third party applications to run properly. These lists also include the fonts most needed for the web, iLife and iWork. The fonts listed should always be active on your Macintosh for OS X and should not be removed. Note that this first part of Section 1 covers only fonts required in the /System/Library/Fonts/ folder. There is also a root /Library/Fonts/ folder with its own set of required fonts, which will be addressed in the second half of Section 1. From the font lists below, Keyboard.dfont, LastResort.dfont and LucidaGrande.dfont are used mainly for menus and other system font display purposes; therefore, they are the most important to the OS itself. /System/Library/Fonts/HelveLTMM Courier.dfont

The James Garfield Christmas (And Hanukah) Miracle Returns. Sort of This post is going to be crazy-ass hard to follow but it’s probably worth it, so buckle-up, buttercup. Last year my lovely readers accidentally forced me to save Christmas by making me let them buy Christmas presents for children who might not have had any otherwise. It’s hard to explain, so instead I’m going to send you to a link explaining how a giant, taxidermied boar’s head (named James Garfield) led to strangers donating over $40,000 to other strangers in what was probably the most baffling and profanity-filled Christmas miracle ever. This year I’ve had a lot of people ask if I’m doing the accidental-Christmas-miracle again this year and my first reaction was a resounding, “Oh, hell no.” And that’s still my reaction. But here’s the thing…almost all of the people asking if I’m doing the Christmas Miracle again this year are the people who were helped last year. Holy crap, you people make it difficult to be all hard and grinchy. Miracle #2: Toys for Tots. And finally…thank you.

Charcoal Drawing Techniques - How to Draw with Charcoal Let's first understand what exactly is a charcoal drawing. A charcoal drawing can be defined as, 'The use of charred sticks of wood to make finished drawings and preliminary studies.' - Encyclopedia Britannica. It produces an intense and a very dark, velvety black line. Unless some form of resin or gum is applied, charcoal as a medium easily tends to get smudged or erased which makes it perishable. This special characteristic of charcoal is used in wall murals outline which is either drawn directly on a wall or on sketches. The edge of a charcoal is soft and that is why charcoal tends to prefer broad, robust drawings. Techniques for Charcoal Drawing For more effectiveness and ease, charcoal drawing should at first be done with a medium-sized charcoal. Paper: Select a white, thick paper with a bit of texture.

Cahiers russes, de Igort Après « Les Cahiers ukrainiens » Igort poursuit son travail consacré à l’implacable histoire de la Russie. Dans ce livre, à travers le combat d’Anna Politkovskaïa, il dresse un sombre constat de la Russie de Poutine… J’ai été choqué lorsque, le 7 octobre 2006, Anna Politkovkaïa a été assassinée dans l’ascenseur d’un immeuble anonyme de Moscou. Je me rappelle avoir écrit quelque chose sur mon blog à ce sujet, bien qu’il soit réservé habituellement à la narration. Anna était morte. Une lumière s’était éteinte de quatre coups de Makarov dans le ventre et dans la tête. La brutalité d’une démocratie travestie, à laquelle les soviétologues ont donné le nom de démocrature, avait parlé. Pour ma part, je ne savais pas encore que, seulement trois ans plus tard, je rentrerais dans cet ascenseur, au numéro 6 de Lesnaja Ulitza, que je parlerais avec les personnes les plus proches d’Anna. J’ai passé presque deux ans entre l’Ukraine, la Russie et la Sibérie pour essayer de comprendre, d’enregistrer.
