Scribbler on the Wall::Charlotte Mann.
By Chrisjob
Sometimes, you simply can't have what you want. That one-of-a-kind painting, or that original handbuilt Shaker side table, a whole room of attractive party-goers?
So, take a cue from Charlotte Mann, and doodle your own. Her complex black line drawings liven two-dimensional white walls into explosions of texture and scale.
The Little House That Could
By TijuanaTaxi
Meet my first house. It's a little house that's been slightly neglected over the years by the previous owners. When my realtor showed me the house, I immediately knew that this was a serious contender amongst the other fifty properties I'd seen. Upon taking a closer look (and smell), I also knew that this little house was going to be become a second job. Besides the fact that this little house would take a lot in the 'labor of love dept', was » READ MORE

How to Draw with Light.
By ChrisjobAs seen in the famous "Centaur" photograph of Picasso, or the current (and excellent) crop of Sprint commercials, the combination of a controllable light source and some long exposure photography can lead to some amazing artwork. Check out the fabulous work of the Japanese collective PikaPika here (Flickr) and here (animation).
Thankfully, Lori and Stuart from LightDoodles.com are offering some help. Though they don't detail the exposure settings » READ MORE
How to draw a flip book.
By DIY Maven
Drawing a moving picture book, or ‘flip-book’, seemed to be out of my grasp until I stumbled upon Robert Truscio’s tutorial. And all you need to make one is a pencil, a pad of paper, a little patience and Robert’s great advice.
First, Robert suggestions you choose a subject that lend themselves to movement, like animals and vehicles. He also says stick figures work well too.
Next, determine how the action, or the motion of your subject, wi » READ MORE
The ellips shelves; measured drawings included!
By DIY Maven
This is odd. A website, called ellips, sells these very cool convex shelves. That’s not the odd part. The odd part is that they include measured drawings of the shelves. Knowing the dimensions of the shelves before buying them is helpful for people willing to hand over the cash for the ready-to-assemble cubbies. (The ‘Big Jim 200’ costs 1,120 Euro, which is about 1,500 bucks.) But a measured drawing for DIYers everywhere?? Score!!

Is This Art?
By DIY Maven
A company by the name of Charpics Technologies is billing itself as "First Of It’s Kind." Using some sort of state of the art technology, they convert digital and print media into "charcoal and colored pencil style renderings/simulations." Hmm. Simulations.
One can make the argument that all artistic renderings of "real" objects are simulations of the actual things themselves, even if the things only occur in the imagination. The outcome of th » READ MORE
