From the start, I knew the drawing I was working on was going to be the best one I had ever created. I had scratched out a rough concept at four in the morning at an all-night sale in a department store, and it was nothing special. The lines I completed the next day while my parents watched a vintage Bollywood movie, and it looked pretty good. The following evening, I scanned the drawing into my laptop, zoomed in, and gave it a good, hard look. And it was actually really nice, I thought. Maybe even better than anything I had ever drawn. There were no glaring anatomical errors, no stray lines, nothing that could possibly mess this one up. This was going to change my style forever, I thought as I shaded in the skin, putting effort into every shadow and…

Art has always been a passion of mine, no matter what the form. It has always been something that can appeal to all tastes, no matter how unusual they may be. I am often working on a collection of art projects ranging from things like drawing and painting, to music and video. Working on projects helps me express my creativity and I also find it relaxing working on things that I enjoy. Out of all the different forms of art I do, drawing is what I work on the most. Drawing is the basis for most…
you will always find yourself creating new environments, so is a common thought to imagine that a client may ask you to design his/her new living room with a contemporary style, of course, for this design you need to add objects such as furniture in order for the client to have a clear vision of how this space is going to look like. But sometimes objects drawn in one dimension won’t show your whole perception of the space. Two-dimensional drawings will provide the realistic component in your…
Drawing and designing are my hobbies since I was young and I have been interested in any forms of art since then. I am continuously learning the other forms of art and accepting the new challenges of learning another angle of it because I want to know what and where I am good at and what could be my possible weakness that can help me to improve myself in the future. There are lots of cases where people are not born to be creative and artistic, and I was one of them. The only question that is…
Down Drawing.” There are many reasons why I consider my upside down drawing one of my best works, but I will state the main ones. In my opinion, the quality of my upside down drawing was excellent and I met all the expectations and criteria of the assignment. For example, my recreation of the Pablo Picasso drawing was up to scale and it had the right proportion (the original Pablo Picasso drawing was fairly small so I had to increase the scale and keep the same proportion). Also, my recreation…
subconscious do the work, therefore giving his hands the freedom to flow with all of the ideas that are in his head. Allen used marker in his Live I and Live II drawings, located in the basement of the Academic Center, but mainly used black throughout both drawings. Live I stars from the top right of the canvas and gives a feeling that the drawing is just falling from the top down to the bottom. Live II on the other hand starts from the center and expands out. Looking at both drawings you can…
Zentangle, a Fun and Easy Meditation Method…. When was the last time you drew something without worrying what it would look like? Do you have trouble just drawing a stick figure? Or perhaps you say “I can’t draw a straight line with a ruler”. Try Zentangle drawing, their slogan is “Anything is possible…one stroke at a time”, and it’s true. I first came across the striking black and white patterns of Zentangle art on Pinterest. I wondered how they had been made, but it was confusing to figure…
has it changed since you started? I have drawing life and observations since I was 15 years old - mainly the human figure and mostly pencil drawings. I did this until I was 32 years old. I graduated from the School of Visual Arts, New York, in 2002. There were periods in-between were I hardly drew at all. During my Masters studies at SVA, I started to write conversation quotes I overheard into my drawings. I also started to scan sketchbook drawings into my computer and add colour to them…
