Do you know what there is a pink bunny visible from outer space? Well I did! Let me show you what I mean. After I read about this pink bunny and started navigating Google Earth, I began to wonder.........What else is visible in the Google Earth Art Gallery? In this video you will find some of the coolest artwork, visible from outer space. Some of these artworks have videos made about them already, and I will put the links in the upper right hand corner of the video player. I have barely scratched the surface of what is out there, so if you know of something cool. Put its Geo tag in the comments so others can find it. The geo tags of everything mentioned in this video are in the video description.

I use the artistic techniques of tradigital illustration to draw violinist/musician Emilie Autumn. I will show you how to blend traditional media with digital media in this mixed media artistic illustration technique.

I have a confession... I had no clue who Emilie Autumn was when my FB peeps voted for her......Once there is a little person in your life calling you DAD, you cease to be COOL anymore! So I googled her and she's a fascinating gal. I have only heard a few of her songs but she seems to be "Tori Amos with a Violin". Thats a big compliment.....Tori was huge to my generation! I am using 3 photo references for this mixed media artwork.And I am drawing EACH on a SEPARATE piece of paper. (The plot thickens)! OFF TOPIC: I once got in to a FIGHT with a VIOLIN PLAYER.......But I swallowed my pride and walked away......Because VIOLINS SOLVES NOTHING! I have MORE FUN working LOOSELY.....I am NOT trying to make this PHOTO-REALISTIC.....Artists are sketchy people!Now I am drawing the pants.....When this artwork is done....everything will be together. I will explain why I do this later..........Now I am drawing the pants.....When this artwork is done....everything will be together. I will explain why I do this later..........Pro's Tip: BUY GREY PAPER. If you draw on white paper....YOU'RE DRAWING ON A FRIGGING HIGHLIGHT!!!!! Neutral toned paper can allow artists to leave BOTH highlights and shadows. Pro's Tip: BUY GREY PAPER. If you draw on white paper....YOU'RE DRAWING ON A FRIGGING HIGHLIGHT!!!!! Neutral toned paper can allow artists to leave BOTH highlights and shadows.Just kidding! I gave her one leg because I am going to flip it in Photoshop. CONFESSION: I feel a lot of pressure when I draw because I know that everyone wants to learn how to get a realistic likeness. I ENJOY, stuff like (what I am doing in this video) MUCH MORE! I take a sketchbook with me almost everywhere. ......Like I said.....Artists are sketchy people! I use prismacolor colored pencils! They ROCK! Ideally, you DO NOT want to mix them with graphite pencils. They get smudgy (you should erase the graphite first).....but its OK....what I do next will fix things.I use prismacolor colored pencils! They ROCK! FACT: Emilie Autumn's hair is not naturally FLUORESCENT!!!!!! For the Record, the artist who draws the BEST HAIR on YouTube is SophieChan90. She uses markers too. CLICK HERE to visit her channel. But COME BACK!!!!!! Don't get mesmerized by the hair! That is a Decocolor opaque paint marker.

The Art Gallery Alpha Males rock it out in the New York Subway. Kunst recites a poem that he made about MFA's or Masters in Fine Art. This is also meant to be a critique of early twenty first century "Art World" culture. Mentioned are the artists Damian Hirst and Andres Serrano. A short film by Merrill Kazanjian Merrillk.com. I sampled the fantastic U2 track, "Desire"from Rattle and Hum, in this four minute fifty second movie. The Art Gallery Alpha Males are meant to be a parody of New York City Art Gallery culture; which is often referred to as, the "Art World". Also mentioned in this film is Adolf Hitler. Kazanjian wryly penned that Adolf Hitler was a MFA- A "Megalomaniac From Austria", even though he was rejected from art school and became a dictator who murdered millions of innocent people. Kazanjian criticizes that there is a market for his work (Hitler art sold for over 200,000 dollars in 2006).Francois Pinault, Larry Gagosian , Sir Nicholas Serota, Glenn D Lowry, Samuel Keller, Eli Broad, Charles Saatchi, Matthew Slotover, Amanda Sharp, Frieze magazine and art fair, Bruce Nauman, Jeff Koons, Damien Hirst, Brett Gorvy, Amy Cappellazzo, Christie's, Robert Storr, Iwan Wirth, Zwirner & Wirth, Marian Goodman, David Zwirner, Gerhard Richter, Marc Glimcher, Jay Jopling, Mike Kelley, Paul Schimmel, chief curator, Museum of Contemporary Art, LA, Andreas Gursky, Cheyenne Westphal, Tobias Meyer, Barbara Gladstone, Thelma Golden, Studio Museum, New York, Victoria Miro, London, Dakis Joannou, Richard Prince, Don and Mera Rubell, Donna de Salvo, Shamim, Momin, Chrissie Iles, Whitney Museum of American Art, Daniel Birnbaum, Portikus Gallery, Frankfurt, Steven A Cohen, Michael Govan, Simon de Pury, Phillips de Pury auction house, Sadie Coles, Robert Gober, Eugenio Lopez, Bruno Brunnet, Nicole Hackert, Philipp Haverkampf, Francesca von Habsburg, Jeffrey Deitch, Nicholas Logsdail, Lisson Gallery, Thomas Hirschhorn, Iwona Blazwick, Whitechapel art gallery, London, The Wrong Gallery, New York, Jeff Wall, Hans Ulrich Obrist, Serpentine gallery, Ingvild Goetz, Pierre Huyghe, Tracey Emin, Gilbert and George, artists, collector and gallerist, Dominique Levy, Robert Mnuchin, Harry Blain and Graham Southern, Roberta Smith, New York Times, art critic, Herzog & de Meuron, Swiss architects, Jerry Saltz, Village Voice, Frank Gehry, Javier Peres, Christine Macel, Centre Pompidou, Paris, Eileen Norton, Los Angeles collector, Rosa and Carlos de la Cruz, Ralph Rugoff, Hayward Gallery, Max Hetzler, Berlin-based gallerist, Miuccia Prada, fashion designer, Neo Rauch, Gerd Harry Lybke, Carsten Holler, Maureen Paley, Zach Feuer, Ai Weiwei,

Happy Hour and some live drawing With the YouTube Art News Crew and some awesome guests!

Prior to 2008, I had never ventured outside of the medium of oil paint. Life got HECTIC and I was forced to reconsider my approach. Here (below) is the story.
For the past eight years, I have taught art in schools in Harlem and the South Bronx and my technique was created out of a need that arose in my classroom. Forty five minute periods is not enough time to teach painting. So I switched my painting supplies from traditional supplies, to paint markers to eliminate the set up and clean up. After witnessing the success that my students were having, I decided to push the technique even further, while working in my studio. I learned that mixing color pencils with a "blender" (on top of the opaque layers of the paint markers) marker allows an artist to mimic the effects of glazed oil paint. I incorporated media "cut outs" and printed images in my work. And I found that paint markers were ideal to tie everything together. Finally I learned that scanning my images on to a computer will allow me to edit my "characters" and add crazy effects such as juxtaposing images on top of my creations. The computer also enables me to use the medium that I am most familiar with; oil paint. I usually print my compositions on canvas ( I order an non varnished giclee print) and lay down the finishing touches in oil paint.

Antes de 2008, nunca había aventurado fuera de la media de aceite de la pintura. Tiene vida agitada y me vi obligado a reconsiderar mi enfoque. Aquí (abajo) es la historia. Durante los últimos ocho años, me han enseñado en las escuelas de arte en Harlem y el sur del Bronx y mi técnica fue creada por la necesidad que surgió en mi aula. Períodos de cuarenta y cinco minutos no es tiempo suficiente para enseñar a pintar. Así pasé mi pintura tradicionales suministros de suministros, a la pintura para eliminar los marcadores de la creación y la limpieza. Después de ver el éxito que están teniendo mis estudiantes, decidí impulsar aún más la técnica, mientras trabajaba en mi estudio. Me enteré de que la mezcla de lápices de color con una "licuadora" (en la parte superior de la opacidad de las capas de pintura marcadores) marcador permite a un artista para imitar los efectos de cristal de aceite de la pintura. He incorporado los medios de comunicación "recortes" y las imágenes impresas en mi trabajo. Y he encontrado que los marcadores de la pintura eran ideales para atar todo junto. Finalmente me enteré de que mis imágenes de escaneado en un equipo que me permita editar mis "personajes" y añadir efectos como loco yuxtaponiendo imágenes en la parte superior de mis creaciones. La computadora también me permite utilizar el medio que estoy más familiarizado con; de pintura de aceite. Por lo general mi impresión composiciones sobre lienzo (que no una orden de impresión Giclee barnizada) y establecer los últimos retoques de pintura en aceite.

Grab your pencils and paper because YOU are going to draw Amare Stoudemire, All Star Forward of the New York Knicks.,,,,,Whats that you say? Drawing Amare looks difficult? Well that's just silly talk. I don't care if you've never picked up a pencil before! Im gonna be your point guard and I will assist you by making this difficult task as easy as possible. For example, hit the link in the video description and you will be taken to a webpage with photos and text to accompany this video. In other words, this isnt a half court shot, this is a slam dunk. So if you want to learn to draw, dont get left behind like Steve Nash.....grab your pencil and lets begin.

Step 1: Draw the shape for the jersey. It is about three times as tall as it is wide. Leave enough room on the top for the head and the bottom for the legs.
Step 2: Draw in the three shapes that you see. The first is similar to a banana and the second and third are circular. Notice their placement compared to the jersey shape.
Step 3: Add in the arms.....Wait! Dont freak out! This step is easy if you see the 2 trapezoid shapes in between the arms and torso.
Step 4: Add Amar'e's basketball shorts and his legs. Together they are similar in height to his basketball jersey.
Step 5: Add the shape for the neck.
Step 6: Sculpt the hands out of the shapes from step 2. Use the original shape as your guide.
Step 7: Add the folds and the star to his shorts. These do not have to be perfect.
Step 8: Add the star and the upside down house shape to his jersey. Ignore the head for now. I will give you a close up and detailed instructions on that in a minute.
Step 9: Use the nagative space to sculpt out the letters E.A.S.T. in the upside down house shape.
Step 10: Add the number one below the star and the word "the" above the word East. Also darken the collar and add the shapes for the folds on the shoulders of the jersey,
Step 11: Add the four shapes for Amare's mouth and facial hair. We will add more shapes to this in the next step. For this step, it is helpful to notice the diamond shape around the mouth.
Step 12: Add the line that I just added to form the top lip, below the moustache.
Step 13 is the trickiest step. There are 7 teeth visable. The two front teeth in the center. Three to your left and two to your right. One is blocked in shadow. Notice that there is more space below the teeth than above the teeth. Draw what you see.
Step 14: Add the nose shape. Notice where it lines up to the smile lines from the previous step. It is ok to shade the nostrils very dark because they will be in shadow.
Step 15: Extend the head and draw in the shape for the eyes.
Step 16: Add the ears. Notice that the bottom of the ear shapes line up with the bottom of the nose.
Step 17: Add the hair.
Step 18: Add the eyebrows.
Step 19: Add the shape for the eyes.
Step 20: Shade the eyes. Notice that the lines get thicker as they move towards the ears. Leave a small space in each eye for a highlight.

Now its time for you to choose a shading tutorial, so click on the image of Amare's body to go to the body shading tutorial or his face to go to the tutorial for the head. When youre done be sure to check out my tutorials on Michael Jordan, Kevin Durant, LeBron James and Kobe Bryant.

Title of Artwork: Caffeine Junkie Coffee People

Art Supplies Used: Prisma Markers and Color Pencils + Oil Paint + Photoshop

Art Process: It was made with a variety of media; both traditional and digital (tradigital). I started out with pencil and sharpie markers, to set deep base tones that will be seen after several layers are added. Next, I used illustration markers as a quick means of adding the first layer of color. Next, I used color pencils to create a layer of translucent, blended color. The color pencils also serve as a ground for the oil paint layer (which is next). I use oil paint because it is so versatile, it can be applied thin or thick and it is easy to mix a range of colors- which is important when you are mixing flesh tones. I finish the artwork with oil pastels and color pencils. Then I scan it, cut it out on photoshop and juxtapose my two characters over a digital photo. Please comment, rate and subscribe if you wish! I try to answer all of my comments!

To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, "Drawing the Head & Hands".
The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones.A Sphere as the Cranium
The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. From profile, this plane will be a perfect circle, but when drawing it from any other angle, it will appear to be an oval because of perspective. Divide this oval into quadrants. The vertical line represents the beginning of the jaw. The horizontal line represents the brow line. The top and bottom of the oval help you find the hair line and the bottom of the nose.A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones
Attach the shape of the jaw. The top will start at the brow line and the back will start at the center of the oval. This is a 3-D volume with a front plane, side planes, and bottom plane (bottom plane is seen from some angles).

0:27- Notice that I am using a mechanical pencil. It has thinner graphite and it helps me create subtle tones for the features of the face. 0:27 Bruno Mars has dark brown eyes. BUT, do not be tempted to go too dark right away, try to build slowly.0:30 The pupil of the eye is darker in tone than the iris. Notice that I left a small white space for a reflection in each eye. this is key to creating a realistic looking eye

0:35 If you havent done so already, erase the line from the top of the bowl shape that goes across the bottom of the nose.1:00- Notice that the C shaped shadow going from the eyebrow to the bottom of the nose has a WIDE VARIETY in tones. Press harder and use high number B pencils (4B, 6B, 8B) to create darker tones.1:18 Watch how I use the paper stump to start the shadow to your left. I "cross hatch" some lines, and then I spread the lines (graphite) with the stump. If you do not have a paper stump, use a Q-Tip.1:44- A singnificant marker on Bruno's face is the deep fold between the mouth and nose. To truly get his likeness, you will need to get that.2:03 - "Float like a butterfly and shade like a bee"....In other words, move around. Do not get stuck in one place. Develop your drawing evenly.2:24 The background on the right side of his face (your left) will eventually be as dark as the shirt tone that I just added.2:55- The paper below my hand is called a slip sheet. It allows me to rest my hand on the drawing without smudging it.3:18- Do NOT make the same MISTAKE I made. I RUSHED the background instead of hatching it in SLOWLY.3:50- At this point of the drawing and shading process, your goal should be to eliminate "lines" and notice the nuances of "edges". In other words, some shapes have solid edges, while others have softer edges. There is often a tonal difference as well.

3:50- Watch how I use the blending (paper) stump to soften an edge......Suggestion: Look in the mirror (right now) and notice the tonal and physical (hardness softness) differences of your face.4:27- The highlights and shadows on the right side of his face (your left) are very complex but important. Notice the darkness that goes down his cheek and the four highlights. 5:09 Watch me shade the left side of his face (your right side). It is very tricky. the dark values are very hidden.....but they are still there.5:48- The nose is tricky. The darkest part is the nostril. The entire shape of the bottom of the nose stays pretty light because the light source seems to be shining up from his left.
6:28- The darkest part of the mouth is the two corners.
6:52- My biggest mistake was going TOO FAST with shading the backgound. When you press hard it causes a crease/indentation in the page. When the paper gets damaged, your shading will be uneven. Youll see what I mean. 7:29- Rewind to 7:24 to see how I use the pencil and brush to blend two DIFFERENT TONED shadows together. 8:14- At this point of the drawing, I am going to use the high number B pencils to get the dark values in. I am also going to use the kneaded eraser to create highlights. 9:18- If you have any lines left (such as the one on the hat) get them out of your drawing. Look around at the world. It is expressed in shapes or masses, not lines. The most difficult part of pencil drawing ls realizing that you are working with a fine tip, capable of making only lines.

You've asked for it, so lets start the new year in a fun way by having an Art Contest! Here is your challenge question: "What did my channel mascot, Little Old Man look like when he was a young man?"

I used photoshop and Paint Shop pro to merge four people who couldnt make up their mind!!! Brett Favre retired how many times??? John Kerry, the infamous-presidential-candidate flip flopper lost an election due to his indecisiveness...Hulk Hogan, the iconic wrestler and reality TV star, was a "good guy" then a bad guy" then a "good guy again. Arlen Specter notoriously, changed political parties! Indecisiveness....Flip Flopping....Standing on the fence...Changing sides or ideologies....Making a decision but going back on it.....These men have one thing in common....Changing their mind. I thought that it would be interesting to use my photo editing skills to morph their faces together.

This video will give you step by step instruction on how to draw Nicola Foti from the channel soundlyawake. But you dont even need to stay fully awake to successfully complete this tutorial. I made it that easy. Just pause the video at the end of each step and follow my instructions. I am going to break everything down in to simple shapes and then I am going to teach you how to shade your drawing. If you are narcoleptic, avoid painting tutorials and keep your pencil on the dull side. But if you are soundly awake, sharpen your pencil because we are ready to begin.
