Little Drawings

Hey everyone! I feel like I post a lot of little art, but I think these are super cool! It blows my mind how much detail is put into such a little drawing. The amount of patience and steadiness is crazy! I hope you guys like it!

I love how realistic this looks. It makes me appreciate it due to the fact of how much work must have been done to pull such an image off.

I like the contrast in this art piece i'm a Mickey mouse fan so i like the classic theme with the black and white. It takes me back to when i was a kid.

The impossible triangle

I recently learned how to draw this triangle. and ever since then I've been almost obsessed with it. 

The fact that someone was able to be as creative of this and come up with such a mind bending object amazes me.

Animating movement

Hi everybody!
So this picture is totally weird to look at.
But after taking a second glance at it I realized this is the perfect way to break down how to animate a character's movements. You can clearly see each part of the character (a unicorn in this case) that moves independently of the others when trying to produce realistic walking motions,etc.
It's goofy to look at but it may actually be kinda helpful!

Windows to the Soul

I love pictures of eyes and I just found these ones really pretty. I love how the artists captures the reflection of the eye so incredibly and has so much detail. The colors are also really vibrant which makes them very attention-grabbing.

Magazine Covers

Found some fabulous magazine cover ideas on Pinterest. Such great photography and graphics. Very fun and chic. 

Love love love!

Some Typography experiments from Ana Gomez Bernaus.

I love these embroidery pictures, the artist added a really cool effect to old pictures and made them look really modern and cool. I love that the artist tries to draw more attention to the eyes by making them the center of the embroidery.

I really like this picture because I feel like it is a great symbolism of how the world is going down the drain. It is very neat the the bottom of South America and Africa are being pulled to the drain and the rest of the world will follow (in an artistic way).

In the Clouds

This was posted with a pin about must-have natural hair products but I found the painting visually appealing. I like how the tops pf the mountains act as the bottom of her "hair".

National Medalist in 2016 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

Congratulations to Grace Ficke.  It was announced today that Grace won a Scholastic Art & Writing National Silver Medal for her work entitled When Broccoli Collides. 

Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual arts and literary arts organizations across the country to bring the Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.

Grace has been identified by panels of creative professionals as one of the most talented young artists in the nation. This year, nearly 320,000 works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level.

Adventure Time

Classic cartoon network show with a shapeshifting dog and a bubble gum princess however if you take a moment and appreciate the scenery in the episode it looks familiar to the project the AP kids just finished up with, the interior Perspective project.

Cosmos

These Pieces are from a South Korean design studio called Dric. They are part of the third installment of an ongoing series they have called cosmos. I love how at first they seem to be really simple gradient shapes but the more you look at them you can see the small details they add.

Light Graffiti

I love this light graffiti piece so much because of not only the pattern of the lights and color but because you can clearly see and make out the texture of the ground. 

HDR Photography

I love HDR Photography and how you can edit simple photos to create something amazing!
