Art is Simple, dont over think, Just do it !

You don't even need any 'artistic talents'! I'm serious. All you need is some interest. Sketching or drawing is about observation, about dismantling what you are looking at, into lines, curves that make it up, & then translating or recording them on paper.

That's how most things work right? A Mozart Classical piece? it starts with a single note. Cantonese cooking? All you need is a step by step recipe & a wok!

Sketching or drawing works the same way. Everything you want to sketch is made up of lines &
curves. And you don't even need a perfect straight line or a perfect circle or curves. You don't need to learn to draw lines & curves, any more than you need a lesson on how to boil water or put on your clothes right? It's a combination of those parts (lines & curves) that makes the idea of sketching a little challenging yet most satisfying. Just a little challenging, definitely doable no matter who you are. All you need is to change your thinking. Art is not about perfection, we are not drawing up a blue print for a building, we are not trying to be an architect or engineer.

If you look at children's art, you'll see what I mean. Most of them are just so endearing & charming right? Get what I mean?

Ben Rubin's awesome Subway Doodle

Have you ever heard of Ben Rubin? Well you might not, but you will soon ! Since I chanced upon his work, I know I just have to add them in my blog. They are seriously fun & creatively ! Ben Rubin creatively integrates cartoon characters into normal subway scenes he saw on his way to & fro work on the subway in New York City. Below are some of my favorite from his work entitled Subway Doodle. Hope you enjoy !

More paintings by Celebrities

After I put up Johnny Depps painting, many of my friends were intrigued:) They didn't know he could paint that well! It got them quite curious. They were wondering, who other celebrities do it? Well here are more:
This beautiful painting of a dog is painted by the 43rd president of the America , George W Bush! Not bad right? In fact he has painted like 50 of them:)

Above watercolor landscape is done by Prince of Wales, Prince Charles. It's really pretty good. 


The above is by non-other than Paul McCartney. I think people could pay serious money for this eventually, not because he's part of Beatles but because it's really GOOD.
Well hope these has inspired you somewhat.
