Jon Foster (update 2)
October 29th, 2009 admin
Jon Foster, who I wrote about previously here and here , has a new web site . It is simultaneously wonderful and frustrating. It’s wonderful, of course, because it features even more of Foster’s elegant, painterly, and superbly accomplished illustrations, old and new; and now includes a terrific section of sketches. It’s frustrating because it simply doesn’t do justice to how good his paintings are. Size and resolution, as they often are in web galleries, are the limitation here. You can certainly get a taste by browsing through the site, but I have to emphasize that it’s worth seeking out his work in print, as I pointed out before . Unfortunately…

Illustration Marker Tutorial- Prism...Link- merrillk.com Illustration markers are incredible tools for artists! They add color quickly and accurately without a time consuming set up or a messy clean up. They can be used alone or in combination with other artistic media. This tutorial will teach you what you need to know about illustration markers. You will learn how to use them as I demonstrate by drawing a basketball player. Lets Get Started with thos tutorial! Lets start by giving you some background knowledge. 1a.) Brands- The most popular brands are Prismacolor, Copic , Ad Chartpak and Pantone. I will do a drawing demonstration of Ad Chartpak in this video. 1.) Markers- When you use illustration markers, think of yourself as a watercolor artist. Watercolor artists create their work with beautiful transparent colors. If you choose to try illustration markers, you will definitely be able to apply and make multiple layers of transparent color. But there is a difference......the ability to mix. The colors are pre mixed and they do not blend together like wet paint as you can see in this demonstration. 2.) Special Markers- There are two different types of special illustration markers; Blender markers and gray markers for tones. The blender marker is a little deceptive. It is simply a marker without color in it. It is comprised of the fluid that the marker is mixed in. When it is applied on paper, the colors will bleed together. Notice how the line in between the two colors has disappeared. You will see more <b>...</b>

GIL ELVGREN: MASTER OF PIN-UPS...[PLEASE READ] Video theme: the magic of "living" art. Restoring my special 2008 video of goodwill and admiration to its original home on youtube. Gillette "Gil" Elvgren (1914-1980) was an American master painter. His genre: pin-up art. His subject: beautiful women. His style: absolute virtuoso—vibrant clarity with lush lines and colors. His preferred artistic means: oil on canvas. His esthetic glory: the radiant, sensual, complimentary objectification of woman. Pictured in a variety of fun and clever contexts, his beautiful Elvgren Girls are stylized ideals in which the essentials of female form and expression are heightened and exalted artistically. A pin-up à la Elvgren is life-affirmative art of the highest order. According to Elvgren art collector and author Louis K. Meisel: "Between the mid-1930s and 1972, Elvgren produced over 500 paintings of beautiful girls and women. Almost all of them are...fully developed, finished works of art.[A]s the decades progressed, [the paintings] just kept getting better and better. Elvgren continually surpassed himself, always improving in ideas, composition, color and technique." [quoted from Lou's own masterpiece, the book GIL ELVGREN: ALL HIS GLAMOROUS AMERICAN PIN-UPS; 1999/TASCHEN; co-authored with Charles G. Martignette] Another indispensable Elvgren reference work is the book ELVGREN: HIS LIFE & ART by Max Allan Collins & Drake Elvgren; 1998/Collectors Press. Most of Elvgren's paintings were completed for two calendar companies <b>...</b>
Ashfur AMV - The kill...My first AMV so excuse the bad quality and animations. This was inspired by Flightfootwarrior's video "What Ashfur wanted to break (AMV)" and at one point I couldn't draw the cat supposibly "yelling" (blue-white background) and so I kind of had to copy--so credit goes to her(or him I don't know) and I hope you like it. It took me a REALLY long time to make this so please no rude comments. I used WMM 2.6 Song; The Kill by 30 Seconds to Mars All pictures and animations made by Me using: MS Paint (lines and colors and some background) and Photoshop elements 7 (shades and lighting and also some of the background).
