So This Is Christmas

Merry Christmas is such an infectious feeling I like to feel that way all year around.

So if you are visiting just before Christmas, just after Christmas or even here on Christmas day I am sure you will find something of interest for you and in the spirit of Christmas.

It may be said that Christmas is no longer a celebration but this must be spoken by people that have never had trouble closing their eyes on Christmas Eve in an expectation of what maybe left for them on the carpet under the tree.

I continue to look forward to the surprise on my Grandchild's faces to this day at Christmas events.

Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas - Merry Christmas

The Easiest Things To Draw If You Only Begin To Learn How To Draw

By Jessica Brown


You must not necessarily be an artist to admire and feel the beauty of genuinely drawn pictures. And as a person who is fond of art you feel sometimes a desire to draw something nice and really worthy. But being a novice in this, you begin to look for a few drawing ideas from which you could start your learning. As a matter of fact, drawing is a process that could be taught, like reading or writing, and it takes time to get the feel of it.

But if you want to put some real effort into this and try to actually draw a nice picture, or just find some simple but effective drawing ideas, there is a small list of drawing objects which is suitable for all beginners. This list will also encourage you for further developments of your drawing skills. First and foremost, be patient and start drawing of the simplest subjects.

One of the subjects in the art school is studying of geometric shapes and their representation on paper. There are four most used shapes which can be used for the drawing purposes. They are a cube, sphere, cone and cylinder. First of all, before drawing any shape, you should plan the perspective. According to an article on WikiHow, perspective drawing is a drawing technique used to illustrate dimension through a flat surface. To draw anything, first draw the line of horizon in the center of the paper sheet. Then make a point on this line. This point is known as the vanishing point. Begin with mastering one perspective that implies only one vanishing point. Schedule a few lines, like rays of light, going from the vanishing point. The lines should be parallel and are 'at infinity'.

One-point or two-point perspectives are ideal for those who only begin to learn how to draw. Don't be afraid to experiment with vanishing points and the line of horizon. It is vital that you should learn to 'see' how things are positioned in the picture plane. When you've done with geometric shapes, go on drawing real objects. Choose those that resemble geometric figures in shape, such as a laptop, Rubic's cube or a ball.

Drawing of still-life is a good practice, too. First of all, fruit and vegetables resemble geometric figures by their shape, for example, an apple looks like a sphere. Second, they have more intricate forms. Best of all, if you draw from life. Take a vase or water-bottle, put some fruit and vegetables in front of it. Be creative. First, make a composition on the table. Then, go on drawing on paper. Drawing of more complex objects is very useful for learning how to make shadows.

Trees are perfect for drawing, too. They look realistic even if branches and leaves are not drawn very well. You should begin with bare trees first, and then learn to add some leaves or flowers. While walking in a garden, pay attention to different kinds of trees, memorize differences in tree structure, shape of leaves, texture and pattern of the tree bark and other details. Then you'll be able to portray trees on paper.

Manga is a Japanese style of cartoonish drawing which gained a lot of popularity. In the Japanese language, manga means 'funny pictures'. Drawing manga characters is easier than drawing real people. Manga is characterized by drawing non-realistic animals and people with exaggerated features or parts of the body, for example, too big eyes, a very small nose, puffy haircuts and so on. If you only a beginner, manga will help you to grasp the idea of drawing animals and humans.

Remember, that drawing is not very difficult. As many other things in our life, it's just another trade we can master, but it requires hard learning and training. Don't start your drawing lessons from difficult objects to draw, because you can get disappointed in case something goes wrong and your motivation can diminish. Choose the best appealing idea from the above list of drawing objects and start practicing right now!
