Nice blog Ron love your work already, just read your Gnomon Interview, lots of interesting knowledge. I now have a list of the 7 fundementals. Now off to buy 1 of your Portraiture DVD's. Then tomorrow I will look at this tutorial as well. Thankyou for posting and sharing this. Mike.
PS I am trying to learn about values and colors. the only info i can find about how to combine those two elements is draw form in black and white and add glazes to apply color.

check out my blog since Ive written a book on yours (sorry) hehe, hey Im an artist.

And not to mention the plates, mugs, cheap posters, t-shirts and g-strings that have the same image printed on them, but yes, it was a one of a kind...moment! What better way to remove this notion than to bring another pop idol in to do his thing? You can see the way he is charging up his fire pit deep within to exhale another poorly built psuedo-medieval cottage. You can also tell in his posture he is bored because there will be no one coming to fight against him with all th
This was a page test for a book called Rex Mundi. Arvid is an amazing writer and I hope he has a long and fruitful career. That means amazing stories till were all old and gray!!!
We teach a class that goes over procedures for drawing the figure clothed. This semester was a really productive semester and all the students improved considerably from the beginning to the last class, and it was awesome to see the rapid growth. These are demonstrations and quick sketches from that class.
