Drawing, Painting, Tips, and Digital Art

Dino Tomic aka AtomiccircuS, works as a tattooist as his day-job and produces a lot of art in different mediums, in his spare time, Traditional and Digital Art drawings and paintings.  Tomic pushes himself to try and experiment with new styles and new mediums, looking around at artists that peak his interest, once he learns the technique he personalise it making it is his own.  One thing he seems convinced about is that, you have to perfect the art and style that you know and you have to strive to learn more from the people around you, to increase your knowledge of art, never stay static, experiment.  We have included a video comprising tips, from Tomic + one of his sped-up video drawings, this is the one, of Gollum, from Lord of the Rings.

Drawing the Fantastic and Surreal World of Hoekstra

We featured Visual Artist and Illustrator Redmer Hoekstra for the first time, almost a year ago "Surreal Animals".  Today we bring you more of his Fantastic and Surreal work.  He has always had an interest in the internal mechanisms of things, reinventing them, associating inanimate objects with animated ones and sometimes inanimate with inanimate.  The drawings are all achieved using ink on paper and it is very important that they are as realistic as possible, to sell the effect.  Were a drawing did not have a title we have added one to them.  Each Drawing roughly take 30 to 40 hours to complete.

Drawing and Painting Hyper Realities

German Artist Dirk Dzimirsky is as capable with a paintbrush, as he is with a pencil.  Between the two he says, he prefers the pencil, as it allows him to use more complex layering and to add more form to the drawings.  Dzimirsky uses a photograph as a reference, once he has sketched the outlines and has all the proportions in place, he does not want to make a like for like copy of it, he wants his painting and drawings to be able to be read like the description from a writer.  Dzimirsky's approach to drawing and painting can be seen by the choice of his models, who have, deep and expressive looks, that portrays perfectly on canvas and paper.
