A Tribute to The Dreamer – Martin Luther King Jr. Art

The 1963 TIME Magazine Man of the Year and youngest ever awardee of the Nobel Peace Prize, Martin Luther King Jr. will forever be remembered as the voice that inspired much-needed changes in American society. The speech he delivered during the historical Washington March was widely regarded as one of the greatest speeches of the 20th century. “I Have a Dream” was the highlight of King’s life as a civil rights activist who fought primarily against racial segregation and discrimination using nonviolent resistance.

This January 16, the world will once again celebrate Martin Luther King Day. As a tribute to the master orator/civil rights icon, we have collected 30 digital artworks that creatively illustrate King’s image and some of the most unforgettable words he uttered. Feel free to share your thoughts about this collection and King’s legacy by leaving a comment.

50 Cool Moleskine Art Samples That’ll Fuel Your Creativity

Why doodles look better on moleskines, we might never really know. What we do know is that this particular notebook has fueled, if not revived, many artists’ love for traditional sketching. Even artists who have long practiced digital arts seem to be enamored.

Ask an artist and they might even list art media that they love to use with their moleskines: some may tell you that they love ball-point pens or fountain pens, some may tell you that they prefer watercolors and some may even tell you that they fancy doing mixed-media.

Whichever way, if you add these media with moleskines and talent, we’re pretty sure one will never go wrong. For today, you can feast your eyes on some of the finest moleskine illustrations.

Wildlife Art Instruction – Puma

Drawing, step 1

free charcoal instruction, wildlife art, sketching, drawing, charcoal, wildlife art

Presented here is a drawing demo. The story so far: I am working upright on an easel. The drawing surface is a sheet of tinted charcoal paper taped to a sturdy board with a thick sheet of paper sandwiched between the two (to provide some cushion). Several sticks of compressed charcoal (from 2-4 inches long), a white pastel stick, Paper stumps, a single edge razor, and a kneadable eraser are the tools. The image here has been laid out, but I feel the proportion is off on the length of the cougar’s nose/muzzle, I feel it’s bridge is too long. In the past I may have let it be, but investing hours in a drawing that is based on faulty proportion is not a happy feeling once the piece is completed and the mistake is more evident.

Another way to color in Photoshop

So I’m looking around the web and I go to deviantart and this guy made this tutorial in flash. It’s another way to color in pictures. My brother used this idea but only for creating rusty metal designs, like old buildings and so on. Take a look let me know what you think. The man that did this swf file is pritty cool, but I do got to warn you the designs that he made is a little on the strange side for me maybe not for him because what people used to do to there bodies was a tradition back in the day.
