VIRTUAL ART SCHOOL - Free Classes!!!


ART LESSONS:
How-To's & Techniques
Video playlists by M Jvlian Simmons
Original art by Alex Grey

Ever wanted to learn to draw but no one had either the knowledge nor the time to teach you?
 

Did you just forget about it, thinking that its "just not in your blood" to know how that's done?

No longer is this skill/talent withheld from you.

Welcome to your own PERSONAL art class!



Here is all one needs to get started drawing like the pros.

We've compiled some of the best art instruction videos that teach many different and varying styles of art from cartooning to realism, anime' and even animal art and landscaping angles.















Personal Tips:

MOOD MUSIC

I love to listen to music whenever I draw/create, however, I prefer music with as little vocals as possible unless it has something consistent to do with my initial creative idea.






Vocals/subject matter may vary too much from song to song (ie., anger, love, politics, religion, etc.) and throws my mood.



I recommend Electronica, Hip-Hop instrumentals, Jazz and Symphony orchestra-   
..but listen to whatever the piece you're working on calls for.








When you're drawing a cowboy then play some country and Western; perhaps futuristic pieces require more spacey music- 
..you get the idea.










SUPPLIES




For the most part, "regular 60lb bun" (typing paper), a #2 pencil and an ink pen will do for starters.









Begin a collection of supplies including more advanced forms of art paper (sketchpads, bristol, tracing, watercolor, construction, canvas-types, etc.).









 Tools like extra pencils, sharpeners, Sharpies (thick & thin), color pencil/markers, watercolor set and brushes, erasers (rubber and gum).









Then perhaps onto chalks, pastels, oils and acrylics or whatever medium you prefer to specialize in.








MINDSET

Its most important to let yourself go when you draw.












 It gets frustrating at times when trying to get it right but if it gets too bad, just let it rest and take a break.









If it can't be fixed, try to retrace it to make a better draft than the first.





Even though mistakes happen, try to have fun during your journey to visualization, wherever it takes you.











REMINDER

Much of the art done in this collection is done in time-lapse video.



So don't be discouraged if you're finding it difficult to keep up while you draw along with them; just pause the video until you're ready to continue.

INSTALLATION NOTE: 
Upon installation of these programs, the software company will usually offer you more than what you need before it even begins to install (often unnecessary extra programming from other partners).

Make sure to choose "custom install" and to uncheck the needed tabs, so it won't give you add-ons you do not need. 

Don't worry, you won't mess anything up. lol

David Jean  plays as "Daywalker" who is coming into a new realm of ownership, but has to tackle some pretty harrowing obstacles along the way.

Stationed at a Mars RED1 outpost, our rookie STARSH!P pilot reluctantly goes on a "skeleton crew" mission to liberate a weakened sector of the Kuiper belt, the emotional line of skirmish/scrimmage and the rim of H.A.D. [Hurt and Despair], in order to save his crew and precious Love on the brink.


Can he do it? Will he make it OUT aLIVE? What lay beyond when HE DOES?

This is what it sounds like.


Help them fight off the enemy at the Eris LUNAR COMMAND [Classic Atari Trajectory/Defense Sim VG] until David gets there. PLAY the VIDEO GAME
[also has BGM mute to play and listen to Rekk!d Bag Radiomixes simultaneously]!


DAYWALKER DAVID JEAN, NOW PLAYING LIVE at FUEGO CANTINA B'HAM, AL on FRIDAY NIGHTS and select weakends; ask for him by name and tell them that STARSH!P sent ya to review the FOOD, BAR and STAFF!
