These are some examples of impressive video game and comic book concept art.

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.
Looking into some of the most creative sketches online, we’ve discovered how great they truly are! Imagine such works on your website, on posters, on business cards, on basically anything. They come in all shapes and sizes. 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.

I made this tutorial to show step by step how to draw a realistic pink rose. For this lesson I will be working on Canson Mi Tientes black paper and using Prismacolor Colored Pencils. Every color that I mention will be of the Prismacolor brand.

Step 1 The first step is a basic outline. Since it is extremely hard to erase colored pencil, I did my outline on a seperate piece of paper and transfered it.
Designing a website isn’t just all graphics and strings of code, it takes style. This means that with most websites you come across, you’re bound to see a certain style being implemented or adapted. With these styles designers and others are able to reach a broader crowd and extend their brands or portfolios to the possibility of being recognized by potential clients.
There are a variety of different styles, and with it being just as hard to choose one of them, we’ve taken the liberty to discuss the styles that stand out the most. Hopefully you’re able to find use of this post and effectively implement a style or two into your portfolio.
Implementing photo-manipulations into your portfolio will surely grab the attention of your visitors. Your users will immediately be engaged and depending on the what’s in your portfolio, you can even include one of your works of art into your web design. Many times this style is used as a large background that surrounds that pages layout.
Here are a few examples of websites that have adapted this style:
I made this drawing tutorial to show the different steps that I take in drawing a realistic face. I did make this tutorial a while ago and hopefully I will have some time to make another one because some of my technique has changed since then.

For this shading tutorial I will explain several different techniques on how to shade. Proper shading is important in drawing realistically. Good shading textures and tonal flow can add a lot to a drawing.

Blended Shading- a popular shading method among pencil artists. Graphite is a wonderful medium because it’s very workable. You can lay down graphite and then blend it with pretty much anything. This shading method consists of just scribbling some graphite onto your paper. Now the graphite is blended. I’ve had good results using regular facial tissues. You can blend with anything though. Play around with different materials to create different shade textures. Facial tissues yield very smooth shading, perfect for flawless looking skin.

When negative drawing, you shouldn’t focus on the shape of the object itself, you should focus on the shape of the space around the object. When all the space around the object is shaded, the object will be defined by the positive, undrawn form. In figure 1 there are two circles. The white circle is formed by the black around it. The white circle was drawn negatively. The black circle was drawn positively because it’s defining itself. Think of negative drawing as drawing white on black. I use negative drawing quite often when I am picking out fly away hairs with an eraser. Figure 2 might look familiar to you. It’s the small Neil Young drawing from my “Mr Soul” portrait. Most of this drawing was done negatively because it is defined by the shading around it. The guitar, his face, and hands were all drawn negatively. They were all left white.
This is a step by step tutorial on how to draw a realistic portrait. I would suggest that you have a basic understanding of drawing and shading before attempting to draw a serious portrait. For this lesson I am drawing on 11″x14″ Fabriano Hotpressed Watercolor Paper. I am using Derwent Graphic Pencils ranging from 2H to 7B. For more information on any of the drawing tools that I mention in this tutorial, visit the drawing materials page. The subject for this drawing is one of my favorite women, the beautiful Kelly Monaco. I am using a reference picture of her that I found on the internet. Let’s get started.
