Can you tell what it is?

   

I love looking at the patterns of rugs and finding animals within them...this rug in particular contain two creatures but in exact the same part. It's like an optical illusion.
Can you see the animals in the picture?

Anime Drawing

Drawing Skills

If you like to draw, I find making the time to draw something most days of the week helps to keep them fresh. As a cartoon drawing refresher I decided to find images of two of my boyfriends favourite anime characters and draw them for him using pencil on printer paper in A5. A simple yet effective and thoughtful gift.

I'd always drawn Disney cartoon but this was my first attempt at anime.

I chose Killua's image because of the stern look and his steely gaze, looking out beneath his spiky hair. Perfect depiction of his character. For Gon's image I used the actual anime and paused it during one of his epic fights, at the moment he was going in for a killer move. The intensity on his face is one often portrayed during formidable fights in anime. Hunter x Hunter has many of these and each one is completely captivating.

Drawing something your are passionate about helps to improve skills.

Aaron Siskind

Several artists have influenced my work but Aaron Siskind is one in particular that has strongly influenced me. Especially his focus on textures and close-up cropped images. Again and again his work comes to mind...
