Use a soft, clean eraser and work gently, being careful not to erase any of the original pencil marks.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Retouching: If your drawing has areas where the pencil has faded, you can use a graphite pencil to retouch the drawing. Choose a pencil that matches the original pencil used in the drawing, and work carefully to match the original lines and shading.</span></p></li><li><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Fixative: If your drawing is very fragile or the pencil lines are smudging easily, you can use a fixative to set the drawing. Use a spray fixative and follow the instructions carefully.</span></p></li></ol><h2 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Protect the Drawing</span></h2><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Once you've restored your old pencil drawing, it's important to protect it to ensure it stays in good condition. Store the drawing in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight, and avoid touching the surface of the drawing with your fingers. You can also use an acid-free mat and frame to protect the drawing from dust and dirt.</span></p><h3 style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Conclusion</span></h3><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Restoring an old pencil drawing can be a rewarding process that allows you to bring a piece of art back to life. However, it's important to handle the drawing with care and to follow the appropriate techniques to ensure the restoration is successful. With patience and attention to detail, you can restore your old pencil drawing and preserve it for future generations to enjoy.</span></p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB9I_baIlD6ucSCwQjloq65uz5ns-FJpVSv9r4_f8r2_b6imp5m-96-DzFarcU2MYFD6ON3lpb8mNWjMDzq9tNCZ5Qw3XSyNZQ-qvzHZoYEQzRcDHvtXkv-oK8oI3pnN5_TpauQVenhMJ-uBO1dWF1by4Tl_jZJHYjBAwryrTVXx5drMKP0R64PcJKXw/s1654/21949830_10159275350165507_1483387929673738765_o.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1654" data-original-width="1417" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjB9I_baIlD6ucSCwQjloq65uz5ns-FJpVSv9r4_f8r2_b6imp5m-96-DzFarcU2MYFD6ON3lpb8mNWjMDzq9tNCZ5Qw3XSyNZQ-qvzHZoYEQzRcDHvtXkv-oK8oI3pnN5_TpauQVenhMJ-uBO1dWF1by4Tl_jZJHYjBAwryrTVXx5drMKP0R64PcJKXw/s320/21949830_10159275350165507_1483387929673738765_o.jpg" width="274" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p></div></div></div>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-36562228989156145792023-01-14T00:45:00.007+01:002023-01-14T00:45:56.766+01:00Story-Boarding in Filmmaking<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzzD0fD0Afou6xjoe0Zr9DEnCtJ6YUqi49dgcm-Qr33lbk7FMzYwNQk0a1QbgjsW38LtUWAD3cbpdpMerHnxNjWmryMUy4Uz2MH1NOWYobfEUHf7b6A0RiJotQwnleCfScftXgomVMLEpG11C0Ob1x3iy93fAQyLh_SLPp9HSjKE5ZHghiU9cJisD-A/s600/story_boarding_filmmaking.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="600" data-original-width="600" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxzzD0fD0Afou6xjoe0Zr9DEnCtJ6YUqi49dgcm-Qr33lbk7FMzYwNQk0a1QbgjsW38LtUWAD3cbpdpMerHnxNjWmryMUy4Uz2MH1NOWYobfEUHf7b6A0RiJotQwnleCfScftXgomVMLEpG11C0Ob1x3iy93fAQyLh_SLPp9HSjKE5ZHghiU9cJisD-A/s320/story_boarding_filmmaking.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><h1 style="text-align: center;"><u>Story-Boarding in Filmmaking</u></h1></span><p></p><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Storyboarding is
simply writing out your entire film in comic strip. Scene by scene, from every
angle, and including every movement. Basically so you can watch your whole
movie as a comic strip before starting the actual filming.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirg0AJammMj4XTwU9w_UfupxV-_sCI6MGk48SCOyDLfwGiAAokR59alk9R1iChSm_AyFZnMUrwcy4E14WvVJCWqEJ19UKTtW7b04OYzSd0aMH5l25xZxXQLFFv08rlfrtKl-p4gtE9uReYN82K3AhuYHrCheEMAwv_Nmjyawh_8I_UtcNvGKPkUsphA/s1280/IMG_4899.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="1280" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhirg0AJammMj4XTwU9w_UfupxV-_sCI6MGk48SCOyDLfwGiAAokR59alk9R1iChSm_AyFZnMUrwcy4E14WvVJCWqEJ19UKTtW7b04OYzSd0aMH5l25xZxXQLFFv08rlfrtKl-p4gtE9uReYN82K3AhuYHrCheEMAwv_Nmjyawh_8I_UtcNvGKPkUsphA/s320/IMG_4899.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-family: verdana;">You do not have to
do this step, many directors choose to just improvise on the spot, but many
other legendary ones do it, especially the ones who want the movie to look as
close as possible to how they imagined it. Because storyboarding gives you the
chance to modify everything that does not look right. Other than that it is a
huge time saver, when you have everything planned beforehand, you will not
waste valuable time on the set, everything will go smooth and fast. Characters
will also have the chance to know how they are supposed to move and how they
are supposed to look on screen.</span><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Your storyboard
does not have to be perfectly drawn in an artistic way (unless you or one of
your crew is an artist), it can be as simple as a kid's drawing as long as
everyone in your crew can understand it and gets the point.</span></p>

It is a way for the filmmakers to plan and visualize the flow of the story, and to communicate the director's vision to the rest of the crew.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">A storyboard is a series of illustrations or images that depict the key shots and scenes of a film or animation project. It's similar to a comic book, where each panel represents a shot or a scene, and the flow of the story is shown through the progression of the panels. The storyboard is usually created by a storyboard artist, who works with the director to plan out the shots and scenes.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The storyboard includes key information such as the composition of the shot, the movement of the camera, the characters in the scene and their actions, the dialogue, and any special effects or visual elements. It also serves as a guide for the filmmakers during the production process, and can be used as a reference for the camera crew, the actors, and the special effects team.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Storyboarding is an essential step in the filmmaking process and it's very useful in the planning and pre-production phase.

A fast, agile and excellent dribbling ability player who mainly attacks as a full-back.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hakimi came through Real Madrid's youth academy. He began playing for Real Madrid Castilla in 2016 and was promoted to the first-team in 2017, playing a few minutes with the latter. He was sent on a two-year loan deal to Bundesliga side Borussia Dortmund, winning the DFL-Supercup in 2019. After a successful loan with Dortmund, Hakimi signed with Serie A side Inter Milan for a reported fee of €40 million, with his performances helping the club win the league title, ending the club's eleven-year league title drought. His performances sparked the interest of several European clubs, with Paris Saint-Germain signing him in 2021 for a reported fee of €60 million.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Born in Spain to parents from Morocco, Hakimi represented Morocco at various youth levels, before making his international debut in 2016 aged 17, after previously being capped by the nations' youth teams at under-20. He was chosen in Morocco's squads for the FIFA World Cup in 2018 and the Africa Cup of Nations in 2019 and 2021.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Born in Madrid, Spain, to Moroccan parents, Hakimi joined Real Madrid's youth setup in 2006 from Colonia Ofigevi, aged eight.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hakimi made his debut for Real Madrid in the first match of the 2016 International Champions Cup, a 3–1 loss against Paris Saint-Germain. He subsequently returned to the B team, making his senior debut on 20 August 2016 by starting in a 3–2 Segunda División B home win against Real Sociedad B.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hakimi scored his first senior goal on 25 September 2016, netting the equalizer in a 1–1 draw at Fuenlabrada.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On 19 August 2017, Hakimi was promoted to the main squad as a backup to Dani Carvajal and Nacho, and was assigned the number 19 jersey. He made his first team – and La Liga – debut on 1 October, starting in a 2–0 home win over Espanyol. He scored his first La Liga goal on 9 December 2017 in a 5–0 win against Sevilla. On 12 May 2018, he scored his second goal against Celta Vigo in a 6–0 win. In the 2017–18 UEFA Champions League, he made two appearances as Madrid won the title, their third consecutive and 13th overall. Although not in the squad for the final of the competition, he received a medal and is credited as the first Moroccan player to win the Champions League.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On 11 July 2018, Hakimi signed for Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund on a two-year loan deal. He scored his first goal for the club in a 7–0 victory over 1. FC Nürnberg on 27 September 2018. He provided three assists in a single match for the first time in his career against Atlético Madrid, in his first Champions League appearance for Dortmund. Hakimi scored a brace against Slavia Prague in the group stage of the Champions League on 2 October 2019, his first goals in the competition. On 5 November 2019, Hakimi scored another brace in the second half to turn a 2–0 defeat against Inter Milan to a 3–2 win at the Westfalenstadion.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">In February 2020, Hakimi set a Bundesliga speed record when he was clocked at 36.48 km/h (22.67 mph) in a match against Union Berlin, beating the old league record which he had set against RB Leipzig three months prior at 36.2 km/h (22.5 mph). On 31 May 2020, Hakimi scored in the club's 6–1 away win over SC Paderborn. After scoring his goal, he removed his shirt to reveal a shirt with the message "Justice for George Floyd". His teammate, Jadon Sancho, revealed a similar shirt after scoring as well.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">On 2 July 2020, Hakimi signed for Serie A club Inter Milan on a five-year contract, with a reported fee of around €40 million. On 26 September 2020, Hakimi made his debut and provided an assist in a 4–3 win against Fiorentina in the Serie A. He scored his first goal for the club in the subsequent league game against Benevento, which Inter won 5–2.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Hakimi signed for Ligue 1 club Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) on 6 July 2021 on a five-year contract. The transfer fee paid by PSG was reported by The Guardian to be an initial €60 million, potentially rising by €11 million in add-ons. Hakimi made his Ligue 1 debut for PSG on 7 August 2021, playing the entire ninety minutes and scoring his first goal for the club against Troyes. He received his first red card in European football in a 0–0 draw against Marseille on 24 August 2021.[31] On 22 September 2021, Hakimi scored twice in a 2–1 victory against FC Metz to allow his team a win and collect 3 points.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I think you have read more than enough about Achraf, you can always check wikipedia for more info, that is where I copied the biography above from.

Anyway, South Africa won this edition against Morocco in the final match, but one player of the Moroccan team got my attention, the one you see in the portrait drawing, people unfortunately only remember players who scored goals but football is a team work at the end, and some players do a lot of hard work but they stay in the shadow, Elodie is one of them.

tell through making a movie, or you want to make one but do not know where to
start, or maybe you think that you do not have enough money for it. In all
cases you are in the right place.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">In this book I talk about every topic related to
filmmaking that you as a beginner would need. It took me a long time to learn what
I know today and I made many mistakes in the past. If you want to save yourself
some time and to avoid making the same mistakes then this book would be very
helpful for you. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Who am I?</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I am just another human being out there who was always
passionate by films and filmmaking, I have a couple of short films of my own.
Two of them were selected in film festivals here and there and one of them even
won an award once in the category of "best short". I have been in few
big productions as well.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I took some online courses but I am mostly a self-taught
filmmaker, I learned through experience, through making mistakes.. Mistakes
that will not make if you apply my tips and tricks. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I do not pretend to be a Tarantino or a Spielberg, but
I do have a little experience that could be inspiring to you and could push you
to start making your own movies, in the best way possible with just the
resources that you have access to. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">This is my little contribution to humanity, some
knowledge I acquired through the years that would be a drop in the sea of the
filmmaking industry.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><b><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">What to expect?</span></b></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I will use simple basic English language so that
everyone in the world would understand what I am talking about.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I will avoid technical terms if possible, keeping it
simple and fun.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">I will make things short, and straight to the point.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">Every part of the filmmaking process deserves a full
book for itself, I will give you just the amount you need to have a general
idea and to start making your first film.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;"> </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">You might argue that there are so many tutorial videos
out there about everything mentioned in this book. I agree, and sometimes
visual material is way better in explaining like in the case of editing, or
sound mixing... But reading makes you workout your brain, the information you
read have more chance to stick in your mind. Your brain is like a muscle, when
you work it, it gets stronger.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 14pt;">The part of your brain that gets activated when you
read is the same that is responsible for creativity, when you read a lot, your

Might also be an Asian celebrity that i do not know.. I drew it from a drawing, but I still added my own personal touch. As you already know I do not usually draw using pens, I am know to using pen but I think I am doing good so far.. It takes a lot of confidence because there is no going back when you make a mistake.. That is the reason why you do not see a lot of pen drawings from me.. maybe after in 10 portraits you'll see only one made of pen, or even less.</span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdrDHgt8lzItNOV8MSj79j0roNHwCnE0BiedNN_2XShf87EVq0z8QXLTWzpOUn42gseQb4EDZtpfoTMm7iT8RdHOeCl9m9MlQsSEwo4NC7b6NguIjO1pn6UAerqN1tK3VEak5q541FxL5AzSQQFA4OZ7k1JEXkPSDKyHitrVDR-a80UIPHINmQB_7jA/s4032/figure%20drawing.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="3024" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXdrDHgt8lzItNOV8MSj79j0roNHwCnE0BiedNN_2XShf87EVq0z8QXLTWzpOUn42gseQb4EDZtpfoTMm7iT8RdHOeCl9m9MlQsSEwo4NC7b6NguIjO1pn6UAerqN1tK3VEak5q541FxL5AzSQQFA4OZ7k1JEXkPSDKyHitrVDR-a80UIPHINmQB_7jA/s320/figure%20drawing.jpg" width="240" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">This one is made of pencils, it's a figure drawing which means one of the artworks that I have to be careful with. i do not want any problems with the algorithms, even if I really do not understand why? it is art, and everything is covered, even if it is not, it has an artistic purpose, it is not intended to excite anyone in an inappropriate way. This is one of the drawings that i saved in my laptop and that I suddenly was inspired to draw. But it was incomplete so I had to imagine the rest of it, for example the hair, the original version was hairless, I had the choice to give her a straight hair but I preferred a nice afro..

available in the market, just to test it and see how good is the concept.
Mainly bought it for my drawing videos not for filmmaking or anything, I used
to have hard shadows in my videos of my hand as I am drawing, and I thought
that maybe this ring light concept will give me a better outcome.</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">You May watch the Unboxing / Review in this video below</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/JWkfe9-9ZCk" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">I bought a "12 inch fill light"
one which is quiet big, there were others that are smaller but that would defy
the purpose for which I bought, because for the sake of having less shadows you
need a light source that would cover a wide area, a smaller ring light would
only look like a regular bulb with a whole inside of it.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">It cost me around 15 Dollars, I bought it
without a stand or a monopod simply because I already have a tripod that I will
be using it with.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #073763; font-family: verdana;"><b>It has 3 buttons:</b></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"></p><ul style="text-align: left;"><li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">ON/Off button</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">+/- Button to dim the light</span></li><li><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">Mode button to switch between regular
light, cold light, and warm light.</span></li></ul><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">
</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">It has no battery of its own, however it
has a USB port to power it but the Adapter is not included, I simply used it
with my phone charger.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">The phone holder can be adapted to your
needs, mainly portrait mode or landscape mode, but thanks to its flexibility
you have a wide range of angles of 360°.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">The whole thing is mainly made of plastic-ish
material, but it it strong enough, I would still suggest that you use it with
care.</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #073763; font-family: verdana;"><b>Final thoughts:</b></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;">
<span lang="EN-US">Personally I like it, it does serve the purpose I
bought it for, which is less shadows, I loved the switching between modes part
because in some situation that warm light can look really cool on videos.. I am
still getting used to it but so far I am satisfied, especially for the little
price I paid.</span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"></span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZHoDz2iGjTvLB0365koqJXcB-Tq7DbE9wnTibhjq883xACLoAkf77Dp346r0I5lR1hE5HbBSDIntQBJUAWriIr1gbJeXABxDJQDqD95p1Mab10QCcD8AgoCZKIgpy3LcNgeGN5h9Hcb8N5zMQ6aUTxcX3EYrGbS10gL_XslOO65ZmHYJBYMyC5Ht7Cg=s1920" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="180" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhZHoDz2iGjTvLB0365koqJXcB-Tq7DbE9wnTibhjq883xACLoAkf77Dp346r0I5lR1hE5HbBSDIntQBJUAWriIr1gbJeXABxDJQDqD95p1Mab10QCcD8AgoCZKIgpy3LcNgeGN5h9Hcb8N5zMQ6aUTxcX3EYrGbS10gL_XslOO65ZmHYJBYMyC5Ht7Cg=s320" width="320" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /></span><p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style-scope"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">What is a Ring
Light?</span></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style-scope"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">A ring light is a
circular lighting tool that evenly illuminates the subject of a close-up
photograph. Ring lights are popular in portrait photography. In addition to
overall studio lighting, a professional photographer or videographer may use a
ring light to ensure their subject's face is evenly lit with a pleasing, soft
light. In the era of smartphone photography, LED ring lights are an
increasingly common photography accessory. Some selfie ring lights attach
directly to your smartphone. Other ring light kits may include a tripod stand,
a gooseneck, and a charger in addition to the LED ring light itself. <o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style-scope"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span class="style-scope"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;"><b><span style="color: #073763;">How does it work? </span></b><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span lang="EN-US" style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-bidi-font-size: 10.0pt; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman"; mso-fareast-language: EN-US;"><span lang="EN-US" style="font-family: verdana;">
<span class="style-scope"><span lang="EN-US">A ring light produces soft, direct light on a face
or a subject, minimizing shadows. When you take a photo using a ring light,
place the camera lens in the center of the ring; this ensures that your subject
is lit evenly from the direction of the camera. Other light sources may produce
brilliant lighting on some parts of a subject while leaving others in harsh
shadow. By contrast, a ring light that's properly set up on its light stand
provides uniformity to the way surfaces are lit.</span></span></span></span></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-17154836094939105602021-11-29T02:49:00.004+01:002021-11-29T02:49:42.982+01:00Neewer CN-160 LED Video Light Review - Is it worth having in 2022?<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvGnqXUOoJ3-_9BfdvyZ60n-zENsgnuV5S6tJdQ3MZchLGcFXahDzc4blAN6Y07ylSlTrcfdRHs2LRYaA82NLmOH4OuuT4sKF9-T9Ru9RAnmnpRsZT1caThwgpOhz8wZZZ6gddLNPfVhT/s1535/Neewer+CN-160+Review.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1181" data-original-width="1535" height="246" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCvGnqXUOoJ3-_9BfdvyZ60n-zENsgnuV5S6tJdQ3MZchLGcFXahDzc4blAN6Y07ylSlTrcfdRHs2LRYaA82NLmOH4OuuT4sKF9-T9Ru9RAnmnpRsZT1caThwgpOhz8wZZZ6gddLNPfVhT/s320/Neewer+CN-160+Review.jpg" width="320" /></span></a></div><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><h1 style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="color: #0b5394;">Neewer CN-160 LED Video Light Review - Is it worth having in 2022?</span></u></h1></span><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">To see the unboxing and the test check out the video below:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/1aQNMuhLDEQ" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><span style="background-color: white; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="color: #0d0d0d;">I should have made this review long time ago because it has been more than a year that I bought it and started using it.
it is famous for being one of the cheapest ones in the market that can give a great bright light..
I got it for about $30 back then on amazon. I don't know if that's still its price but back then it was a great deal for what it has to offer

It has a dimmable switch Which is great and allows you to have different brightness using the same light source.
It comes with a nice defuser if you want soft light with less shadows.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A battery testing button that allows you to know the level of energy you still have (if the battery is full or if the six AA batteries are full, all the four red lights would be on if you clicked on the testing button)
And a filter for the warm light.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">You can mount it on a lightstand, a tripod, or it can fit on the top of a DSLR camera. It can be used with 6 AA batteries, or some specific batteries from Sony and Panasonic using a battery adapter (the battery adapter included)</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="color: #0d0d0d;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">I have use it only with six AA batteries for the simple reason that during the 3 years that I had it, I have only used it several times, it was never a must using thing with every video I film. But if you want a light box that you will be carrying with you all the time then I strongly advise you to invest in at least one battery, it is not expensive and it will be a life saver.</span></span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; font-size: 15px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Neewer CN-160 is famous for being cheap and reliable, and I totally agree, so far it had never let me down. It is made of plastic but it is still strong. It is flicker free. Has 160 LED light bulbs that can be replaced IF you know how to solder, if not then leave it to someone professional or just be happy with the rest of the bulbs.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The video I made does not do The Neewer justice to be honest, because the brightness is outstanding, unfortunately the camera lens adapts itself with the new light strenght when it changes so the viwer wouldn't notice any change even when you dim the light up and down.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">My final thoughts is that I do like it, I recommand it, and yes it is worth having in 2022. What I don't like about it is that it is kinda big, so for someone who films mainly with a smartphone it is annoying to bring it with me wherever I go. But for photographers and videographers who use DSLR cameras or at least have a bag of gears and stuff it would be the perfect addition.</span></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-58170930555319535592021-10-06T23:40:00.001+01:002021-10-06T23:40:08.402+01:00Squid Game - Why do people LOVE it so much<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-rrUETV_JmQIiiJC4321cB7ifWe6TmyapP84hY1rAJx46_ggfgphxEM2Wj7RL3twE9mstAFaCs26S5CR38UNtWBLTOv-GeYVPkUeDF7zfmQMuqVtNJfcLgNYDlKSTKPo6ZQk4tPDsHhs/s1920/squid+game.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1080" data-original-width="1920" height="225" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiC-rrUETV_JmQIiiJC4321cB7ifWe6TmyapP84hY1rAJx46_ggfgphxEM2Wj7RL3twE9mstAFaCs26S5CR38UNtWBLTOv-GeYVPkUeDF7zfmQMuqVtNJfcLgNYDlKSTKPo6ZQk4tPDsHhs/w400-h225/squid+game.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></div><span style="font-family: verdana;"><h1 style="text-align: center;"><u><span style="color: #0b5394;">Squid Game - Why do people LOVE it so much? the 3 Secret ingredients</span></u></h1></span><div><span face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background-color: #f9f9f9; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i>My last post was also about squid game but that one was a drawing, totally different, and I promise this one is gonna be the last one about it.

Others will watch it out of curiosity, especially people that are used to watching American or English speaking Series. But the main reasons are:</span></span></div><div><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
<ol style="text-align: left;"><li><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">- Money: the winner will become a millionaire, and people love money especially easy cold Cash, actually there nothing that people love more than getting a lot of money with the minimum effort, so that's the first reason.</span></li><li><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
- Games and gaming: everyone is a gamer now, all people are into gaming, so anything that has gaming as a theme will get people hooked.</span></li><li><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
- Risk and danger: in squid game if you lose you'll die, so living on the edge triggers some emotions in human beings, those risky game boost our adrenaline. If you have watched the show you will notice that when they players are in danger and if they do a wrong move they will end up dying, your heart might be pounding and you are making all kinds of faces..</span></li><li><span class="style-scope yt-formatted-string" dir="auto" face="Roboto, Arial, sans-serif" style="background: rgb(249, 249, 249); border: 0px; color: #030303; font-family: verdana; font-size: 14px; letter-spacing: 0.2px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; white-space: pre-wrap;">
- People can relate: the characters they picked to play squid game are all going through some hard times in their lives, they are all in debt and cannot pay back, and that is what everyone in the world is going through right now, everyone is going through hard times financially, so the viewers will fantasize about being in the same situations as the characters of the show, where they will just have to play some games and win millions and all their problems will be solved.

I am not that into Korean drama or K-pop but I am open to exploring new cultures, and that was one of the reasons why I decided to watch Squid Game, besides that I am starting to see new memes and pictures and people talk in like a special Squid-Game-ish code, and I don't like that, I prefer to be updated and aware of what is going on.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">But first I decided to draw one of the main characters of the TV show and see the reaction of my fans. I don't always follow the trend either, but sometimes I do, another reason why I decided to draw <b>Ho-Yeon Jung</b> that was playing the character "Kang Sae Byeok" also known as <i>Player 067</i> is that I have never drawn an Asian person before, this is my first time, Asian people have different bone structure than the rest of the world, so I thought it would be challenging.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;"><b><i>NO SPOILERS</i></b></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The new Original Netflix series is mostly about some players that are invited to an island to play 6 games in 6 days, the winner will take millions of dollars (in korean currency of course) and the losers.. well they were terminated in a brutal way. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The song you hear in the video is a remix of the slogan of the first game they played, it was called "<b>Red Light Green Light</b>", it is basically a game where you can move as long as the light is green but once it becomes red you must stop where you are and not make any moves, if you do you lose. By the way even if it's called squid game there are not squids in it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I liked the song remix so much so I included it with my video, it sounds childish yet very creepy when you know the story behind it. And if you also noticed the time-lapse video I made for this pencil drawing is a little different, I did not want it to be boring, just me sketching on paper, I tried to make it more interesting with some transitions and hand gestures, hope that you liked it.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Jung Ho-yeon (Korean: 정호연; born June 23, 1994) is a fashion model and actress from South Korea.

I also did not want to use the same old generic "Pencil Drawing" title, and since these are two drawings that I made in the past month and that I did not post in here then why not just say things like they are?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For the first sketch I made two versions of it, one in pencil and the other one is blue pen, I did not post the pen version either but only because it is sketched on a regular lined paper.. Maybe I should post it people would not mind would they? anyway, I also draw it on a live video on my youtube channel, unfortunately it took more than 40 minutes and i had to cut some parts of it and ended up with a 27 minutes version, but it is still kind of long. And I have noticed that people do not bother to watch long videos that are flat and with no narration. That is why I made another short version of it, and no surprise it got way more views than the longer one.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Although it is incomplete, I do not think that I will add anything to it, it looks beautifully cute the way it is, I loved how the eyes turned out even if the eyebrows are not how they should be.. generally I like the outcome. That cute drawing artwork is not mine by the way, if you know who is the original artist please let me know so I can give them credit. I keep saving unsigned artwork to my computer and sometimes when I am inspired enough I just pick a random one and start doodling, I even have ones that I saved few years ago and they still didn't make it through my "mood audition".</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I also was live streaming as I was drawing the second artwork, but on Instagram this time not on youtube, but I managed to make a short version of that live streaming and upload it to my channel later one. It is a semi-realistic drawing, I made few of these that are already posted here in my website and if you have watched my tutorial video about how to turn any picture into a cartoon character, you would notice that the same tips and tricks were applied in this one: bigger eyes, smaller nose and mouth... it gives a certain cuteness to the character, I explained how in my article: <a href="https://www.smail-jr.com/2019/07/how-to-cartoonize-face-step-by-step.html" target="_blank">How to cartoon a picture - Step by step tutorial</a>.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">What I have noticed though is that when it comes to people reaction to my art, they tend to interact more with anything cute and beautiful regardless of how easy the making process was, rather than with complex hyper realistic paintings. regular people do not care too much about the details they just see the full picture. Only fellow artists care about details and give feedback sometimes.</span></p><p><br /></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-54232428588447965902021-09-14T09:30:00.001+01:002021-09-14T09:30:00.174+01:00Peoples Cinema S01 E01 - when My movie was on SKY TV (Showcase TV)<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

It has been a dream for me to have one of my films on TV, and to be honest I never expected that it would happen that way. I first heard of People's Cinema in a facebook group, it was by pure coincidence, or maybe not because I believe that everything happens for a reason. Anyway, I decided to submit the trailer of my film "Corona Birds" simply because I think that so far it is the best short movie that I have made. My other short that I love "<a href="https://www.smail-jr.com/2019/07/short-film-alienized-full-movie-uhd-4k.html" target="_blank">Alienized</a>" has unfortunately few mistakes that I explained in its article, especially the sound, that's why I hesitated to submit it. I wouldn't risk not being on TV because of some mistakes, mind you that it was my first short film that has more than one character, and more than one filming angle.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">After submitting I asked all my friends and family and also my subscribers and followers to go vote for me in the official website of the competition. I could have had thousands of votes if all of them took that step but hey, everyone is lazy including myself, so I don't blame them for not voting. but my closest friends and my family of course and some diehard fans did though, and it was enough for me to win.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">I was so happy to receive that email telling me I won.. But it was not the end of it, I had to send them the full movie in a good quality that would be smooth on TV, to broadcast a video on a television is not the same as uploading it to Youtube, there are some technical requirements that my movie didn't meet, and that was another challenge, because I do not have the original project any more, only had the final exported video. I worked on it, watched some tutorial videos on youtube about how to fix everything I could fix (you can tell how determined I was to make things work) and I did. i finally sent them an updated version that has the requirements they suggested.</span></p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqsLozCMhSJohH2UJ8bn_iJdSphQGWIoCEodLBKTnpaA9xd81RSvB6qoI3U0Mo_orWhUajPgAKIOyud7dxnpK3mF-e9rJ_78LFiytGqsRMEBgWBuzloW4hQVjR5rUjtpFf2qksX6Rl_50L/s1080/225865187_1873462072832549_6349056273794452659_n.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="624" data-original-width="1080" height="231" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqsLozCMhSJohH2UJ8bn_iJdSphQGWIoCEodLBKTnpaA9xd81RSvB6qoI3U0Mo_orWhUajPgAKIOyud7dxnpK3mF-e9rJ_78LFiytGqsRMEBgWBuzloW4hQVjR5rUjtpFf2qksX6Rl_50L/w400-h231/225865187_1873462072832549_6349056273794452659_n.jpg" width="400" /></span></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">People's Cinema Show Schedule on July 29th 2021</span></td></tr></tbody></table><span style="font-family: verdana;"><br /><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another video I had to film is what they call C30 in People's Cinema, which is a small presentation that I had to make about myself and my movie.

It is one of the most iconic cinematic sayings in the history of cinema, because of course The Matrix is one of the greatest movies of all times. Anyway, recently I have watched a trailer for a new Matrix movie, OMG I'm so excited, starring the amazing "Keanu Reeves" but with a look of John Wick. But what does this have to do with my drawing? Absolutely nothing lol I just thought of the saying "follow the white rabbit" as I was uploading the drawing. </span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I had this sketch on my laptop for a while, I saved it from somewhere that I do not even remember, but it was a pencil drawing I guess, but since I recently started my pen drawing journey like you already know I decided to use my beloved blue ball point pen this time again. Because the drawing does not have any gradient areas, and will not need much shading either, I just had to nail the shapes and curves and I'm good. and I think I did do a good job, or what do you think?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The more I draw with pen, the more I gain confidence and want to draw even more. I said it more than once, not being able to use an eraser was a big challenge for me, so I stayed in my comfort zone for way too much, which is drawing using my dear pencils. Until I realized that I actually rarely use the eraser in my pencil drawings anyway. So I thought why not? What worse could even happen? I mess up? so what?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So if you are lacking confidence to start learning a new skill, or having issues making art, learn from me. Just do NOT make the same mistake I did and wait too long. If I have started drawing using pen earlier I would have become an expert now, and I would have probably moved to something else, something more complex maybe. Also do not be a perfectionist.. most artists and creative people are. I'm a perfectionist too but I am kainda trying to beat it, I have posted artworks that I don't conceive as artistically perfect, or even good in that matter, thing that I would never dare to do in the past, but now I do it without any problem.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The best aspect about drawing with a pen compared with drawing with a pencil is that pens are everywhere, you don't take your set of crayons with you wherever you go, but you could take a pen with you. even if you don't have one on you, you could easily acquire one from your surroundings or even buy it. the pen beats the pencil in that one in a heartbeat.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So yeah, follow the white rabbit, follow your intuition, follow your dreams.. and if you have never watched the Matrix? go watch it.</span></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-42280117151534456962021-09-03T01:16:00.002+01:002021-09-03T01:16:26.753+01:00Pen Drawing Art - Cute Cartoon Face<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDqIkaUQoWB6IJWZYi1-GavRXsF_j-RzagseLYDFWZMSc4Fr8PyTkzkJWblVIt3IRIm-bFWnooz59Dr0GCCUIbfFImdBaS9qeWsO1HBC-VIvgfCyzQrhYPeT3LUALL5EfyEFzgqKBQ57-/s660/Pen+Drawing+Art.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="660" data-original-width="640" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgVDqIkaUQoWB6IJWZYi1-GavRXsF_j-RzagseLYDFWZMSc4Fr8PyTkzkJWblVIt3IRIm-bFWnooz59Dr0GCCUIbfFImdBaS9qeWsO1HBC-VIvgfCyzQrhYPeT3LUALL5EfyEFzgqKBQ57-/w388-h400/Pen+Drawing+Art.jpg" width="388" /></span></a></div><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #0b5394; font-family: verdana;"><u>Pen Drawing Art - Cute Cartoon Face</u></span></h1><p></p><h2 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #a64d79; font-family: verdana;">Here is the "making of" video, don't worry it is very short ^_^ about half a minute:</span></h2><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/G6RnK5_p1Zs" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">A beautiful cutie face pencil drawing that I saw and instantly liked and decided to draw it, but not like I usually do a.k.a with graphite pencils but will my blue ballpoint pen.. I think I'm starting to do good with pens even if I'm new to this kinda of drawing art. If you have been following my art in one of my social media platforms you would know what I am talking about, almost all my life I have been drawing using pencils, but recently decided to start drawing with pens, it is really challenging because simply there is no using eraser, so it does require a level of confidence and that's what I was lacking at first.. confidence in drawing not in other aspects of life.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">Another thing is that this drawings was one of the easiest drawing I sketched and that got many likes, especially in Instagram. I mean sometimes I put a lot of work and effort in a drawing, and I mean real tear and blood lol and at the end it does not get the attention I think it deserve. This happened to me with the drawing of Cara Delevingne that you can see <a href="https://www.smail-jr.com/2017/09/cara-delevingne-drawing.html" target="_blank">Here</a>.</span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">I do not say that I have become obsessed with likes and comments, or that if one of my artworks didn't get "enough" engagement I would be sad or have a depression, absolutely not. I am still kinda old school and all these internet new phenomena. Plus I am really confident about my art, I know I do a great job especially with pencil drawings, but what I have noticed that people tend to react to the visual art according to what it is displaying. I mean if the face I drew is handsome/beautiful then people will mostly give it positive good reactions.. but if the drawing is of something that most people judge as not beautiful enough they will mostly ignore its existence. </span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;">_______________________________________________</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: verdana;">pen
drawing, artwork executed wholly or in part with pen and ink, usually on paper.
Pen drawing is fundamentally a linear method of making images. In pure pen
drawing in which the artist wishes to supplement his outlines with tonal suggestions
of three-dimensional form, modeling must necessarily be effected by the close
juxtaposition of a series of strokes forming areas of hatching or
cross-hatching. Many pen studies, however, are produced with the substitution
of tonal washes (layers of color spread over a broad surface) laid onto the
drawing with a brush, in which case the outlines or other important definitions
of the figures or landscape are established by the pen lines.<o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">Inks of various types used in pen studies contribute additional diversity to the final effects. Historically, three types of ink were most frequently used. One was black carbon ink, made from extremely fine particles of the soot of burnt oils or resins in a solution of glue or gum arabic. The finest type of black carbon ink was known as Chinese ink and was the prototype of the modern black India ink. A brown ink popular with the old masters because of its warm, luminous color qualities was known as bistre. </span></span></p><p><span face="Roboto, Noto, sans-serif" style="background-color: white; color: #0d0d0d; font-family: verdana; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span lang="EN-US" style="line-height: 115%;">It was prepared by boiling wood soot to obtain a liquid, transparent brown
extract. The third important ink was an iron gall, or chemical, ink. Its principal ingredients were iron sulfate, the extract of gall nuts, and a gum arabic solution. It was, in fact, the common writing ink for centuries and was employed for most early drawings. Its color when first applied to the paper is bluish black, but it rapidly turns blackish and, over the years, a dull brown and tends to disintegrate.</span></span></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5640185447726668115.post-49762165254314076832021-08-21T17:58:00.001+01:002021-08-21T17:58:04.498+01:0010k Subs Giveaway winner drawing<p><span style="font-family: verdana;"> </span></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGAQn7D_mANuswXSr6Wmm1bwK6d1Lli2-iXwvcgUBgIN8DiPO9WFM8_604-aBcgc-7ZzHUoCzpjxNBYhjPNxE1CxcEKmwids5JhqAMkOz4dxN7fk-QwqT59azmudMQGRjAvhyphenhyphengC528P0lZ/s2048/IMG_2225.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1463" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGAQn7D_mANuswXSr6Wmm1bwK6d1Lli2-iXwvcgUBgIN8DiPO9WFM8_604-aBcgc-7ZzHUoCzpjxNBYhjPNxE1CxcEKmwids5JhqAMkOz4dxN7fk-QwqT59azmudMQGRjAvhyphenhyphengC528P0lZ/w286-h400/IMG_2225.jpg" width="286" /></span></a></div><h1 style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #3d85c6; font-family: verdana;"><u>10k Subs Giveaway winner drawing</u></span></h1><p></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;">Remember few weeks back when my youtube channel hit the 10K subscribers?? if not then the video below will refresh your memory or will let you know what am I talking about:</span></p><p style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: verdana;"><iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/euytiCDHU4E" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen></iframe></span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">10k subscribers is an important milestone in Youtube, Youtubers will know what I'm talking about, for the main reason that you become eligible for the golden feature in social media "STORIES". You could finally post stories to Youtube and the huge advantage of Youtube stories is that that last 7 days while they only last for 24 hours in Instagram and Facebook and Snapchat. So you could get more coverage. More potential followers will get to see whatever you are posting stories about, in my case more users will have the chance to get an idea about my drawings and some of them might take a step further and subscribe to my channel.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">So after this huge achievement I decided to give something back to the community of my faithful followers, and what is the best thing to offer as an artist? ART of course, so I kinda organized a context where people send me there pictures via Instagram, and the winner will get a free pencil drawing from me.. (I rarely draw on demand, and people usually beg me to draw them so this is actually a huge thing)</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I ended up drawing the portrait you see above, I hope that you like it, I kinda got back to my old drawing style after spending some time trying new skills like digital drawing or drawing with pens. Because yeah! who would not like to expend their circle of skills and become talented in something new?</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The challenge in this drawing was mainly the glasses, it is not easy to draw glasses on a face because they kinda "interrupt" the face if you understand what I mean. Not only the glasses in this case but also their shadow. But I did try my best and I am satisfied with the outcome.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">I used my usually set of pencils, HB, H2 B2 and I guess one more very dark graphite pencil if I remember for the black hair, eyebrows, and the glasses holders. I don't have a white pencil (which is a shame because it would solve half of my troubles) so I did what I always do, leave empty areas to sell the illusion of having the white color.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">For the paper, same thing, the usual brand I use, until now I have not come across any brand that I really like, they either have a strange texture that leaves empty areas when you don't need them, or they are too smooth that you can easily make a mess if you simply did a wrong move with your finger. Once I find a good brand I will sure make a review of it to let people know.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">The person in this portrait pencil drawing is a beautiful friend of mine and that I miss so much, I can't give you more details because of privacy issues. Posting the portrait drawing happened of course after her explicit permission.</span></p><p><span style="font-family: verdana;">Thank you for sticking around and see you in the next drawing artwork.</span></p>Smailhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08727298383612239022noreply@blogger.com
