G�day Everyone,

I�ve just uploaded my latest free online video tutorial: Masterclass. Its a shoe still life oil painting (see image below) that I did for the 2011 Footlocker Art Prize. I've created ...

G�day Everyone,

I�ve just uploaded my latest free online video tutorial: Masterclass. Its a self portrait oil painting (see image below) and I've also time created an accompanying free time lapse v ...

G�day Everyone,

I�ve just uploaded my latest free online video tutorial: Masterclass. These are 3 quick watercolour speed paintings of Ayers Rock / The Olgas that I visited recently done onsite. Th ...

Disst - Battletech's always fun to draw and helps get over too much of the subtlely of the human body that can really hamper drawing when you first start (I use to love drawing transformers and though ...

G'day Daryl - thanks for your comments and taking the time. I was in two minds about the tutorial from the outset as there are "issues" with the final look of the controller. If it was a tut ...

Hi All,

I've just released another free video tutorial on How to Draw Basics of a peanut butter jar and a Playstation controller. I also show a 3D model of a Playstation controller to show how one ...

Thanks Disst, glad it was helpful. Yeah I plan on continue to build upon each topic til it gets to advanced topics (drawing spaceships, painting with colour etc). Just want people to have an entry poi ...

G'day Everyone,

Had numerous people over the years encouraging me to do some tutorials. I've finally had some free time so I've created a basic "How to Draw" video tutorials on my website ...

Andrew Loomis books are available on the net in PDF format and a good start. Otherwise, a sketchbook and paper. A good life drawing class will also work wonders as you will encounter just about every ...

I've seen the videos and they are quite good. I think they are just an additional tool to learning anatomy (the others being life drawing, books and muscle casts) so if you think you'll get everything ...

Thanks for that guys. The article you mentioned Impaler only talks about the rise during the 1950s. This is another article that makes mention of the early attempts at 70mm film around the turn of the ...

Does anyone know why film format (ie the ratio) is the way it is today? I am aware that a number of years ago, there were a couple of competing formats and in the end it was a compromise between the t ...

I think reference can be good but drawing from life/nature is much better. When drawing from life, you have to look and make decisions and be a more active participant. The more you think about things ...

No doubt I agree with the formal elements of design that you have mentioned Impaler. I'm just not sure about the rest of it. Art seems to be a search for 'truth' of some description, usually relating ...

I guess the jury is still out on abstract art. I'm not a big fan of it. Its funny having conversations with people who are pro abstract art. A classic 'defense' is that if you don't "get it", then you ...

Check out the book "Composing Pictures" by Donald Graham (it is an out of print book but you might find it in your local library). Donald was the dude that Walt Disney got to help him out setting up D ...

That is kinda interesting. Would be nice to know the translation from spanish but you can't have everything. I'm not too sure he would have been too concerned about having the composition reversed. As ...

I was pleasantly surprised by the book. I thought seeing that it was rare and hard to come by was because it wasn't as good as his other publications. Quite the opposite, seems to say quite concisely ...

Just something that I've been playing around with:

C&C welcomed.

thanks greatly for the link!!

I'm looking for some biographical information about George Bridgman (the dude that has written some fantastic books). From what I've been able to find, there isn't a great deal of information on someo ...

I think one of my 'traditional' art teachers said it best:

1st figure out what you want to say.... then do it in any medium you feel is appropriate.

Every medium has its advantages and disadvan ...

Yeah I have the 5 ones already mentioned. Most of them are at fineart.sk in some form or other. It is just the "Eye of the Painter" one that I'm after. I think I've managed to find it in an obscure li ...

Just wondering if anyone knows if there is a downloadable copy of Andrew Loomis' "Eye of the Painter" book. I know about his other 5 books (Figure Drawing for all its worth, Heads and Hands, Successfu ...

Ah you Champion!!! Yeap that is the one. Thank you very much!!

About 3 months ago I came across an acrylic tutorial but I'll be stuffed if I can find it now. Basically it was about traditional acrylic media. It was a group shot on a hill with a Mech in the backgr ...

Very nice work dude!

I guess it is a moot point but yeah I can see what you mean but the front, only upside down. I'm just trying to imagine what it would be like under the water line at the back. To my way of thinking it ...
