Recently I tried resurrecting my old love for pencil sketches. The black & white picture of the berries (see entry: Black's Bright Borrowed Faces) was an inspiration to try this particular art that doesn't employ colors and instead chooses to add life to a pencil sketch using deft shades of black and white. My roommate Seema was the first ready and available model. Making the sketch took approximately half an hour and I spent some additional time adding a little extra to the eyes. What really disappointed me though was that when I took a photograph of the sketch, the uniformity of the digital ... Read Full Story

The following article includes pertinent information that may cause you to reconsider what you thought you understood. The most important thing is to study with an open mind and be willing to revise your understanding if necessary. If you find yourself confused by what you've read to this point, don't despair. Everything should be crystal clear by the time you finish. Some people say that you can’t really learn to draw. You are either born with the talent to do so, or you aren’t. I’m not quite so sure this is true, but there is something to be said for natural talent. My brother ... Read Full Story

Recently I traveled to San Francisco with my MFA group. Each time we travel to a new place we are required to create a piece of art work that somehow relates to our trip. So the top image is a sketch for that assignment. I wanted to do an image of one of the many street performers that are throughout the streets of San Fran.. I did not want to just create an image of the performer simply standing in the street, nor did I want it to be just a close up portrait of a random performer. It is important for me to ...

By James Pynn Drawing has always come easily to me. When kids in my class were still discovering shapes, I was drawing entire scenes. My first and greatest brush with fame came in first grade when I regaled the class with a sketch of a ninja doing battle with a T-Rex. For a short time, I enjoyed the life of a patronized artist, feted with candy bars to draw pictures of dinosaurs, knights, dragons, robots, and football players. of course, my fan base consisted of mostly boys. In second grade I drew my first girl. It was a portrait of an older girl who ... Read Full Story

Here is a wonderful book that demonstrates how to draw hands from every perspective with clear drawings and useful text. How to Draw Hands From the text, "Your first care in drawing hands associated with the head or figure should be to make them, proportionately, the right size; and, with beginners, this instruction invariably resolves itself into exhortations to make them bigger. Regarding them, I must suppose, as an insignificant detail, the novice always makes the hands (and feet) of his figure drawing much too small; or even neglects them altogether." Here are a few other examples of hand drawing instructions from the 1940s ... Read Full Story

If you want to increase your observations skills, try doing some blind contour drawings. Blind contour drawings are done by drawing an object without ever looking at the paper. The final drawing is not important, although you may be surprise at how recognizable the object is when you are done. The most important thing is to carefully observe the object and don't rush, just take your time and don't peek! I like to draw my hand as it is always available and the possibilities are endless depending on how your hand is positioned. Place your hand in a comfortable position and put your graphite ...

Filed under: Industry, Displays, Samsung, LCD What measures 3.9-mm thin by 40 inches? If you answered the standard Korean product waif you'd be close. This time, however, we're talking about Samsung's LED backlit LCD featuring a 120Hz refresh and 5,000:1 reported contrast. Yup, that makes it the world's thinnest -- easily besting cross-town rival LG's 5.9-mm thick LCDs -- even if you can't buy it as a complete television package... yet.[Via...

In reply to No More Pencils, No More Books: A School of the Future Readies for Launch: No More Pencils, No More Books I think we have some mixed messages out there related to student learning and student learning environments. First is the idea that a virtual classroom is ideal. Personally, I have enjoyed my post graduate classes more in an online environment than in a classroom. A piece of that is that when sitting in a classroom you...
