Online Drawing Tutorials and Artists' Websites
I've been finding some fabulous resources lately for artists.
I want to make sure you find these special sites, so here
they are, in no particular order:
Anyone who has any interest in unicorns
must see www.narwhal.org.
According to this site, the economic need to find buyers
for the tusks may have been the reason why unicorns don't
have rhino horns sticking out of their heads! Check out
the site and see some real narwhal tusks up close - and
read more about the origins of the unicorn myth.
If you're a teacher or parent, this site
on drawing
development in kids is a wonderful resource. See how
a child's drawing naturally progresses from simple scribbles
to naturalistic. Kids, you should note that between ages
14 and 16 the authors say that "Natural development will
cease unless a conscious decision is made to improve drawing
skills." So that means that drawing may be natural, but
true skill takes time and commitment to develop. For inspiration
to get your creative juices going, there's nothing better
than looking at great art.
Check out the wonderful, quirky paintings
by Kyle
M Stone, the whimsical illustrations by Carla
Pott, and the amazingly realistic paintings by Russian
artist Stanislav
Plutenko. Jackie
Morris has some interesting dragon paintings, and Julie
Paschkis has some very enticing paintings and posters.
I also found a free watercolor
painting tutorial site, and I found a great drawing
tutorial site, but now I can't find it again! Dang, I hate
losing sites I really like. I'm sure I bookmarked it, but
there's so many...
