Every year at the end of summer, I get quite melancholic because it's the end of the warm, sunny days, but absolutely excited because it's the start of the spooky season.
This is an excerpt page from a book about drawing. The tabled layout of the faces really appeals to the analytical side of me, and the drawing aspect appeals the the creative side of me. Much like a color wheel, this could be considered an emotion wheel. I think it's funny how they couldn't come up with a word for EVERY combination. For instance, there was no word to describe DISGUST + SURPRISE, so they simply called it "YOU ATE IT??". And ANGER + SURPRISE simply == "WTF?".

How cool is it that we've found 11 Free Drawing Software? Now you can paint and draw online for free with one of these best paint apps! In this age of wildly developing technology, digital art and tools for creating it have become a huge part of our lives. However, the most basic thing that we need to execute digital art is the software. Artists can move mountains with the help of the right software! But the first thing that can come to mind when you think about drawing software is – how expensive that will be? Fortunately, there actually
1. TWO/ 2 pages of Measured STRAIGHT lines horizontally across the page. Use different drawing media...graphite (don’t smear), colored pencil (preferably black), ballpoint and felt pens (keep it at about .05 at the widest nib/tip width) 2. Diagonals across page at different angles. Remember to repeat the same overlapping line at least 8 to 10 times. the objective is to be able to aim at and repeat the muscle-memory and exactness. 3. Rhythmic jagged angles (scan example page 5) where you create one straight line and automatically attach at least one other to start building angular shapes. When you get the hang of it try inclosing a shape to create a ground plane. 4. Arcs & Curves. Draw two vertical borders and then draw left and right curves off of them (example page 6). In different media and remember the objective is to get you to repeat the action of pen/pencil over the same line about 8 times. 5. Compound Curves/ S curves. Its not just "squiggles" (example Page 7),its training your eye and hand and pencil to work together. Again different lengths and curves (challenge yourself. Don’t make it boring but keep it simple). 6. Circles and Ellipses (Example Page 8 & 9) These are easy & hard to get the REALLY correct symmetrically and balance to work fluidly. And that’s the key to become practiced and correct. Chances are your fist pass will be out of whack (mine sure were!) but make some very light passes around the shape (you might even make some ghost passes slightly above the papers surface to get the rhythms of it before committing). This is important so do a couple of pages if you have the guts and work ethic. 7. Last make a page where you show all these various shapes and processes interacting and overlapping. Don’t be sloppy and make sure all of these shapes and lines keep their integrity and line character. Use different media and design the page well. Note I sort of clustered some of the angular shapes into groups then merges them.
