Malcolm Bull: Climate Change Ethics - For the benefit of anyone who has spent the past decade or so on a different planet, the most frequently asked questions about climate change on this one are as follows. Is it getting warmer? Yes, surface temperatures have risen by 0.8°C from pre-industrial levels. Are humans causing it? Almost certainly. The gases produced by industrialisation and agriculture are known to have an insulating effect, and their concentration in the earth?s atmosphe... Layla Al-Zubaidi: In Syria - ?Welcome to Assad?s Syria,? the signpost at the Lebanese-Syrian border still says, letting the visitor know who owns the country. The ceasefire had just been announced, but few Syrians I knew held out much hope that three hundred UN observers could keep an eye on the whole army. The journey from Beirut to Damascus by shared taxi takes less than three hours. For years I?ve come this way to visit the Syrian side of my family. It was clear that thin... Mark Ford: Pound Writes Home - By my count, though I may have missed a few, this is the 25th volume of Ezra Pound?s highly distinctive correspondence to see the light of day. The first selection of his letters, edited by D.D. Paige and culled from the years 1907-41, was published in 1950, when Pound was four years into what would be a 12-year sojourn in St Elizabeths Hospital in Washington, to which he?d been confined indefinitely after pleading insanity at his trial for treas...

Perspective Basics - Perspective drawing really isn't that scary. The main thing is to start simple - don't leap straight into a three-point drawing of the Leaning Tower of Pizza if you've never even constructed perspective before, ok? Start with a simple box in one-point perspective. When you've got that squared away, try boxes in two-point perspective. You'll need to learn how to divide space. A useful technique is the 'crossed diagonals' method of finding the cent... White Chalk on Black Paper -
Drawing with white chalk on black paper can look really effective and dramatic. But handled badly, it can also look really 'wrong'! The biggest problem is the temptation to outline in white, where we would normally be using a graphite pencil. The trick is to reverse the way we look at things. With graphite or ink, we draw the darks and shadows, and sometimes don't give the highlights much attention. When drawing with white on black, we need to p... Better Photographs Make Better Drawings - It's generally better to draw from life than to draw from a photograph, but sometimes having a subject sit for hours isn't possible. Kids are particularly challenging sitters - they just won't sit still for a moment! If you're going to draw from a photograph, you really need it to be a good one. A well-lit picture with a natural subject is so much easier to draw and will give you really great results. It's particularly important when drawing anim... Vincent 'Starry Night' Drawing Wallpaper - Hot off the press, here's a wallpaper of Van Gogh's 'Starry Night' drawing in ink, with an inspirational quote revealing how Vincent felt about the importance of drawing.

Draw a Viking Warrior - If you love fantasy, action and adventure movies you've probably already seen 'Thor' and 'The Avengers' starring the Aussie actor Chris Hemsworth. The movies are based on the Marvel comic books and so don't spend much time in the ancient world - Thor looks like a thoroughly modern hero! Here's a more traditional comic book take on an heroic Viking character for you to draw. Draw a Viking Warrior.Draw a Viking Warrior originally appeared on About... Leonardo da Vinci Quotes on Drawing - Leonardo da Vinci is a fascinating artist, and while a few enigmatic pieces get a lot of airtime, I often think that the old master has a lot to offer the modern artist beyond these iconic works. I thought I'd take a look at where Leonardo is coming from and what he has to say on a few topics about drawing, perspective and learning to be an artist. Leonardo Quotes and DrawingsLeonardo da Vinci Quotes on Drawing originally appeared on About.com Dr... Improving Your Drawing: Middle Values - An error I've noticed in many beginner (and even more experienced) artists' work lately is a gap in the tonal range. Often artists will focus on the outlines, so these will be strong, and they know they need confident darks, so they'll shade quite powerful shadows. But then things go a bit pear-shaped when they start to tackle the rest of the shading. I think in part it's a desire to get the subtleties of tone so not to be too heavy-handed, but t... Improve Your Drawing - The trouble with being stuck in a rut is that you don't always know it - you keep going over the same old ground and it's not until you're entrenched in a well-worn groove that you discover that you're repeating yourself. If you're lucky, it just means that you never get beyond being 'pretty good' and your work always has that familiar 'look' to it. If you're not, it can mean mediocrity and a slow wearing-away of creativity and enthusiasm. Here a... Pencil Shading Exercise - Shade an Egg. - Practicing shading with simple objects is a good way to develop skills quickly. Instead of thinking about a composition with many complicated textures, you can pay attention to subtle changes of tone and concentrate on handling the pencil to get the kind of shading you want. It's useful to try these exercises out with different papers and pencils - for example, as well as basic sketchbook paper, try a smooth hot-pressed paper as well as something... Draw Cartoon Sea Animals - Summer for most of us means the sea - if not in it or on it, at least beside it, getting some vitamin D in the warm sun. For me heading into the cold of an Aussie winter, that's a very appealing idea! Shawn Encarnacion created these cute and friendly sea animals to draw and color in. With simple shapes and easy steps, even young kids will be able to draw these cartoon sea creatures. First up is a cute cartoon seal. These adorable furry friends a...
