Dan's Inspiration

Hello,

My inspiration is a song written by an American band called Kamelot. It really redefines the way I look at life ever since I first heard it. I came to love the world more, and started to draw a lot as to capture the moments, especially since I don't have a camera to take photos, and it looks better through drawings anyway. I hope by listening to this song, you guys could see the pretty world I see.

Enjoy.
Dan Nguyen

Drawing Devices

Hi All,

I showed this website in class relating to the assignment we will be working on that will be due on the last class: http://drawingrooms.blogspot.com/
Scroll down to about half way down the blog to see the first post that has "Drawing Devices" in the title.
View the posts that show these drawing devices to start thinking about what will be your own drawing device, and how can you make it as original and interesting as possible.
As I will specify at the end of next week when I explain the assignment in detail, the "drawing device" will be a device that can create drawings using nontraditional methods.

Things like a pencil, an airbrush or any drawing tool that is traditional, store-bought and had no changes applied to it will NOT be qualified. These tools can be incorporated in a non-traditional way with you idea (for example: see the guy in the blog that attaches a pencil to an attachment to make duplicate marks with his elbow as he draws).

View the rest of the blog to get more ideas about what drawing could be to think about an original drawing device of your own.
I will try to post more resources on the blog to help you with the assignment.
