Another Fun Tool For Digital Artists

If you haven’t heard of the alternative social network MeWe yet, there’s no shortage of reasons to check it out. But one of the lesser know functions is a very creative feature included in the chat system while you use the mobile app.

If you click on the chat option you will see the “Type Message” area. Below it is a list of icons and three dots to the right. When you click on those, it takes you to options “Share a Location,” “Send File” or “Doodle.” If you select “doodle” you’ll be able to draw in a bunch of colors, change the size of your brush, erase mistakes and add emojis (if you’re into that). Once you send them, you can download for your own collection.

Here are a few samples of silly little things I done with this tool:

Top Posing Guide Now Available In All Formats

I’ve written a number of posts about the publications by Justin R Martin over the years. Perhaps you might be asking yourself, “why so many about this guy?” It’s simple, the stuff he puts out is really good. You can be incredibly talented when it comes to drawing, sculpting, painting or photography but if you work with people and don;t know how to pose a subject, your art will lack the quality it could achieve and likely neither you nor the subject will be thrilled about it.

Posing guides can be a major help in these situations and I can say the options provided by Martin are in fact works of art on their own. It’s not the same old stuffy few dozen options that everyone uses. The variety in all volumes is extensive and even more so now with 200 new poses in “Poses For Artists Vol. 6” released a little while back.

The big news is that this volume is now available in all formats including paperback, Kindle, Ebook .PDF, .ZIP file with high-res images of each pose, and Ebook in all popular formats (.epub, .mobi, .lrf, .pdb, .txt, html). Now, it can be accessed easily in any circumstance. After all, not everybody has the place for another physical book in their studio.

You can check it out and order on the author’s site at www.posemuse.com.
