Is it just me, or is having a floating skull in your studio the coolest thing ever!!!!???!!!
I recently discovered the coolest thing in the world, (next to having an ominous floating skull in your studio): Empty paint tubes. You mix your paint, fill 'em up and crimp 'em. Then, anytime you need that shade, it's ready to go!!!
The more closely I look at nature, the more I am in awe at the intelligence of its design. It's all there: drama, tension, composition. Everything about the structure, pattern and coloration is designed to direct the viewer's attention to the tiger's eyes.
