Figure and Animal Drawing by Cecil G. Trew is available as an ebook at Figure-Drawings.com . From the first chapter: THE study of the human figure and the study of animals have so much in common from the artist's point of view that they may well be considered together. In fact the artist will gain much in both branches of his art if he recognizes their similarities and allows his knowledge of the one to aid him in the other. Even portraiture is only to a very limited extent an exception to this tenet. Character and individuality should be aimed at in animal drawing ... Read Full Story

Are you very artistic? What can you do artful? Me? Well, not a lot, that's for sure. I'm trying my hand at oil painting.... not finished yet with my first project. But I will finish it... you'll see (maybe!). Drawing? Well, only in a caricature way. You know, comic/cartoon caricatures. I love to draw comical people or things, I wish I could draw more seriously though. I love to decoupage! I've covered whole chairs with decoupage! This is one of the chairs I've decoupaged. And here is the other one: My brother, Randy, is very artistic. All of his life, he's free-handed just about ... Read Full Story

My eyes are tired and closing. I look out the window of my train to see nothing but sky and wires. I watch the train smoke dance and strange, cubist faces with missing features begin to emerge. And I wonder if I will be able to remember them all, sketch them down quick in my book. But the day has been too long and there isn't enough will to reach for my pencil. My mind wanders and desperately imagines what is behind the wires, and the skyscrapers and the noise. My eyes are shut, but Im not asleep. I'm too anxious to sleep. So ... Read Full Story

Humble (24 inches by 18 inches, Japanese Watercolor and Ink) Click Here to Purchase a Print for $22 bucks! Oh yes, I have donned my cape and cowl once again, friends! I have leapt from the tallest buildings in a single bound. Chased down bad dudes in their Mazda Miatas using my superspeed. And I have gotten confessions from the worst criminals by getting them drunk using my "superpower" and turning their bottles of Evian into wine! (which has also made me a hit at cocktail parties). Actually, I think I might have been dreaming all of this stuff. Oh, Antonio, you silly silly ... Read Full Story

The Library of Congress' new exhibit on Herbert Block (often known as "Herblock") completely avoids labeling the famous cartoonist as a liberal, instead portraying him as an "independent spirit." The retrospective features 81 poster-sized drawings by the late Washington Post artist and never once identifies Block's politics. The exhibit, which opened on October 13 2009 and can be found in Washington D.C., pretends that the cartoonist was a...

ID Sketching's fun "Five Levels of Sketching" article reminds us that When all is said and done, regardless of how flashy the sketch may be or how killer it may look, the essence of why we sketch ideas as designers is seeded in effectively communicating those ideas to our clients. Sketching is our language of communication. Author Spencer Nugent goes on to distinguish between Doodles, Thinking Sketches, Technical Sketches, Presentation...
