Build your own easel

byoe.jpg

Came across this resource again recently. I had saved it in the hopes that I'd try it out one of these days. In the meantime, this goes out to all those who would like to build a well designed, inexpensive easel, now instead of spending big bucks on buying one. Ben Grosser has generously made these plans available for free. He is an artist and you can see his work here. If you do use these plans dont forget to send him photographs for his easel gallery.

    Hello from Lexington, Kentucky USA.

    Thank you Jonathan. Glad you found them useful. I dont add to the posts too often as i'm caught up in trying to draw and paint. actually let me be honest, i'm mostly surfing :D I hope you will drop by again. The easiest way would be to sign up for the rss feed. you'll get an email only when the blog gets updated. Thanks also for the extra wide smile on my face first thing in the morning :D

    thank you for the easel plans...I need one but don't want to buy it because they cost so much and I spend enough on my art as it is....I hope it is easy since my husband will get the job...have you made one?

    Hi Linda, I havent made one.... as yet :D It's still on my list but i'm a bit worried about the space it needs. You should check out Ben Grosser's site where you will find images and adaptations that folks have made while using this palan to build their own easels. All the best and do upload the images to Ben's site and drop me a line too if you build it.

Figure Drawing Resource 6 - Posemaniacs

I found the link to Posemaniacs on Kathy Johnsons blog, The Quicksilver Workaholic . It is an absolutely fantastic resource. You can jump right into using the poses or use Google translate to figure out what the japanese text is about. I have a copy of Virtual Poses that I have yet to use. Since I spend long hours on the net/computer I am likely to use this resource more often. A few quick links on the site A variety of poses which you can rotate 360deg on both axis. Short poses and gesture drawings - 10, 15, 30, 45, 60 and 90sec poses Negative spaces and Google Translate Update: September 13, 2007 : I've just received a comment from the site owner for Pose maniacs Today I added English instruction to 30 seconds drawing and random pose viewer pages.
