Can anyone recommend a good intro drawing book? I cannot sketch/draw at all and I wanted to work on that just as something to pass the time. I guess I'm looking for something like "Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain" but better? Is there a definitive good intro book? :cheers:

I think the best thing to do is take a class, that is what got me over the initial "hump" of getting into drawing...one that I've used that is decent is Drawing: A Contemporary Approach by Claudia Betti and Teel Sale but really it was my first drawing course that really got me into it.

Yeah I figured I'd get told to take a class. Ill check out the book thanks!

I need a simple Wacom tablet or something that I can just use my own handwriting for a website and simple cartoony drawings on. I'm not looking to invest that much, and I hope to find an older thing off eBay. Any recommendations? It's gotta be USB, though.

How do I get semi-transparent tables and stetch to fit backgrounds?

Something like the main table on http://www.darrenhoyt.com/about/

You can use the clone stamp or the healing brush. If you press the alt key, you get to sample the colors next to it, then bit-by-bit you go over what you want to get rid of.

Google has millions of tutorials, here's one: http://tutorials-photoshop.com/basics/clone-stamp-erasing/index.php

I hope this is the right place, I can't find a general web design thread.

How do I create the top box that fades between images like a slideshow? See the font design pictures that change.

http://www.typography.com/fonts/font_overview.php?productLineID=100033

It's a specific javascript, but I can't get it to work when just copying theirs. This is a pretty popular format amongst the Web 2.0 fare, but I don't know what its called and I'd prefer to just use the fading PNGs rather than a Flash format. Any ideas? :(

While we're on the same topic: I remember seeing work by another artist that was in the same vein, but a bit more like Bosch. A recurring motif was some sort of hellish parade. Anybody know his name?

Giger?

I'll be taking my DSLR camera (just the kit, nothing else) to the beach in a few weeks and to get to the said beach you need to ride a small boat. So I was wondering: what are some ways to protect your camera from splashes? Are ziplock bags effective?

Yeah should work. Check out the "Beginners DSLR" thread in the Dorkroom for a better answer.

Select all, move to C:\Windows\Fonts

If it's just the font files, you can select all and right click and "Install" will be right on top.

I couldn't find a good place on the forums for this, but I figured this would be the best place to ask. Does anyone have an invite for ffffound!? I end up bookmarking so much and I can't find a decent source to get an invite for an account. I know some CC goons have to have accounts...

If anyone can share, my email is numberneuf (at) gmail (dot) com

I'd really appreciate it :cheers:

I got this info from a Chinese site: http://world.people.com.cn/GB/57505/6724763.html

"New Delhi, May 7. After a fire in illegal squatter settlements, a little girl with an exposed wire in her mouth shows a look of disappointment. Local firefighters said the fire left 3 dead, 4 wounded."

Is there a clothes designing thread? I want to make a few shirts and not the typical screen print on American Apparel. A bit more fashion-y as dumb as that sounds. If there's not a thread, does anyone know any good resources for fabric, printing, cuts, etc.
