Yellow Wall Art – Our Must Have 7 Recommendations

Yellow Wall Art – Our Must Have 7 Recommendations

There’s something about yellow wall art. Some rooms just need that lift from such a positive and warm colour.

Yellow brings a dynamic, bold liveliness to any room decor, and yellow wall art is great way to strike a perfect balance especially if you have a room with neutral greys or browns.

This post should save you time and effort by recommending 7 of the best must have options for yellow wall art, of all kinds, sizes and depictions.

Table of Contents

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.1 Yellow Modern Abstract Painting

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.2 Large Yellow Banksy Balloon Girl – Graffiti Canvas

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.3 Gold Tree Blossom Oil Painting On Canvas

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.4 Autumnal Yellow Waterfall Scene

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.5 Abstract Giclee Seascape Artwork

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.6 Large Mustard Yellow Grey Abstract Painting 

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.7 Abstract Yellow Swirl Painting

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.1 Yellow Modern Abstract Painting

This lovely large canvas is a perfect fit for hanging over a sofa in a living room, or over your bed. It’s extra large at 120cm x 50cm as well as extra trendy with its contemporary abstract but minimalistic feel.

Match it in with neutral tones in your wallpaper and cushions and it will look effortlessly included in the flow of your room.

It’s also included with Prime, meaning fast and secure delivery.

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.2 Large Yellow Banksy Balloon Girl – Graffiti Canvas

This famously, vibrant and beautifully positive Banksy Canvas is perfect for contemporary decor. It’s a premium quality 4 piece canvas which is 130cm wide x 67cm high making it the perfect size for a statement piece.

It will bring both style and colour to any room, but we recommend you place it over your mantlepiece in a good sized room or behind your sofa for maximum effect.

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.3 Gold Tree Blossom Oil Painting On Canvas

If you are looking for something unique, handprinted, bold and luxurious you could try this standout statement piece.

Painted by a professional artist, ready to hang at a size of 60x120cm this slightly more expensive piece of wall art is well worth the price for uniqueness and impact.

Each painting has a black hook already mounted on the wooden bar so you can hang it easily and straightaway out of the box.

These unique oil paintings keep their colour and are guaranteed not to fade. You also have all the usual guarantees that Amazon provides, in terms of returns and refunds.

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.4 Autumnal Yellow Waterfall Scene

If you need a smaller and yet still impactful piece of wall art you should have a look at this option.

It’s a lovely waterfall scene but with a fantastic pop of yellow.

This piece of wall art is available in a number of sizes starting at 30x20cm (9.99) and working up to 150x100cm (59.99). This gives you plenty of options in terms of how much you want to spend and where you want to hang it. We’ll leave it up to you, except to say it would look really well in a medium size in your hallway (60x40cm at 19.99)

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.5 Abstract Giclee Seascape Artwork
This lovely sunset wall art provides a fantastic opportunity to create a sense of contrast in any room. The yellow is striking but brilliantly balanced by the greyish hues.

If you like to create a sense of tension, contrast and intrigue this is the perfect piece for you.

As a limited edition giclee print on canvas it provides a definite uniqueness for either a home or office environment. There are also a number of different sizes which will suit any budget and room.

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.6 Large Mustard Yellow Grey Abstract Painting 

This large piece of art is perfect for over the sofa or bed, and perfect for a decent sized room which will match with yellow and grey or white neutrals.

At 130cm x 67cm it is undeniably a statement piece and the geometric, minimalistic approach is wonderfully contemporary in terms of impact.

It’s easy and quick to hang as well as available on Prime for Fast and Secure Delivery.

Well worth a look if you need a cool centrepiece!

Yellow Wall Art Recommendation No.7 Abstract Yellow Swirl Painting

For our last recommendation we’ve gone for something thrilling, abstract and put together in a swirling and captivating fashion.

It’s a lovely, bold arresting piece which at 120cm x 50cm shows contemporary art at its best. It will easily provide a very cool and contemporary finishing touch to any room in your home.

10 Unique Christmas Gifts For Creatives 2021

You often have to get really creative yourself to think of unique gifts for creatives. Here are 10 of our most unique Christmas gifts for creative people to save you some time and effort.

Unique Christmas Gifts No. 1 Buy Them an Experience

Creative people often enjoy the ‘idea,’ of something or an ‘imaginative experience,’ more so than how expensive a gift is. Why not give them an experience of something they will never forget? This could be as hands on as a Pottery Course for a day, or a painting workshop, or even a Cooking Masterclass.

It could also be something that allows them to see the world in a different way, such as a boat trip or a unique experience in their own town that they have never had before. A guided walking tour can lead to discovering and appreciating all that you have on your own doorstep. It need not be particularly expensive either!

Unique Christmas Gifts No.2 3D Printers

If you’re buying for close family or a best friend, you could consider a 3D Printer. You can print out all manner of designs and shapes customising everything from signs to superhero models or dogs in your own way. You can paint them and even sell your items if you wish. The possibilities are endless.

It’s an incredibly unique Christmas gift which can keep the recipient amused for a long time to come. You don’t even need to design your own templates (which takes a bit of skill) you can get fantastic templates cheaply off sellers on Fiverr, or use free templates.

Check out these affordable 3D Printers here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.3 Custom LED Neon Sign

This unique gift could work for a teenager’s bedroom or an outdoor bar, or garage/back garden. You customise with a Name, an Event, or even just a symbol that means something important to the person receiving the gift.

This Custom Neon sign is particularly good:

If you are looking one that is less expensive have a look at this one as well:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.4 A Bluetooth Beanie

This gift is perfect for anyone who enjoys listening to music outdoors or wants to go hands free while talking on their phone and moving around. It’s perfect for colder weather, for skiing, running, or any outdoor sport.

You don’t have to worry about it getting dirty either as it’s washable. Just make sure you take the headphones out first! It’s very affordable too! Check it out here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.5 A Bartender Kitbag

This is a really interesting and unique gift that will suit creative cocktail makers who like the outdoors and crafting on the go.

Included in this kit is a Travel Cocktail Shaker Set and portable barware set. It comes with a very handy shoulder strap so it’s easy to carry. Perfect for Camping, Picnics and Outdoor Parties.

Unique Christmas Gifts No.6 American Smoker BBQ

You just can’t beat an American smoker. The Deep South has so much offer when it comes to barbecuing, in fact much of the culture is based around it.

Once you add flavoured wood chips and slow cook your meat you have just reached a whole new level of taste. While it may not initially seem very Christmassy people in the Deep South barbecue turkey all year, and a sweet slow cooked turkey is a proper Christmas Day feast.

Besides the best Christmas presents are the ones that evergreen and can potentially be used on any day of the year. Make sure you get the wood chips to add to your coals – we fully recommend hickory smoked chips but apple or cherry wood chips are amazing too.

Check out these little beauties here:

Or you could buy the less expensive add on to your BBQ here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.7 Gazebo

This is another useful, unique all year round Christmas gift. It’s become a crucial addition to many homes due to the global pandemic but a Gazebo allows for outdoor creative cooking all year round, no matter the weather.

Put your BBQ or pizza oven under here and you can pretend it’s summer (even on Christmas Day) in a relaxed and sheltered setting.

Have a look at this unique Christmas gift here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.8 Industrial Lights (For Your Gazebo or Not)

These lovely industrial steampunk lights will definitely create a Christmassy vibe but they will set the tone all year long. There also very affordable and decent for the price.

Check them out here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.9 Projector

This is a fantastic one for film fans and wonderfully portable, meaning you can project onto a wall outside at night time as well as an indoor wall. You could even set up your own Drive in Movie Theatre!

Feel free to look here to see this fantastic offer:

The cheaper version with more limited functionality is available here:

Unique Christmas Gifts No.10 All in One Music System

Imagine being able to play records, cassettes, CDs and Bluetooth streaming services on one system. Use those cassettes you haven’t heard for years, not mention the old records you’ve been dying to play but just weren’t able to.

You don’t need to imagine anymore because you can buy an All in One Music System – the beautifully presented Victrola.

Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial

Welcome to our easy Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial! We will take you through drawing a butterfly step by step with pictures and a time lapse video at the end.

Butterflies are the ultimate symbol of transformation. From ugly caterpillar to beautiful, colourful winged creature floating gracefully through the air. Although they only live a short time, the life they do lead is delicately graceful and incredible.

Table of Contents

Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 1 – Draw the Head
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 2 – Draw the Body
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 3 – Draw in the Top Left Half of the Wing
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 4 – Draw in the Top Right Half of the Wing
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 5 – Draw in the Bottom Left Wing
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 6 – Draw in the Bottom Right Wing
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 7 – Fill in the Details on the Inside of the Top Wings
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 8 – Add the Details on the Bottom Two Wings
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 9 – Add in the Antennae
Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 10 – Colour In Your Butterfly

Butterfly Drawing Step 1 Draw the Head

To make sure your butterfly is symmetrical draw a cross shape with a ruler in the middle of the page. Watch the time lapse video to help with this.

Just above the middle of your page draw a small circle for the butterfly’s head. If you find this difficult freehand then draw round the end of a pen or pencil to get a perfect small circle shape.

Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 1 Image

Butterfly Drawing Step 2 Draw the Body

Just underneath your head draw the body of the butterfly – it will look like a carrot shape or a stretched out oblong. The head and the body will look like a clothes peg.

Butterfly Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 2 Image

Butterfly Drawing Step 3 Draw in the Top Left Half of the Wing

Now you are going to draw in the top left half of the wing. Make sure it is symmetrical as the picture shows. It will look like a triangle with a rounded edge with a little dip inwards like a bracket. Refer to the picture to help.

Butterfly Drawing Step 3 Image

Butterfly Drawing Step 4 Draw in the Top Right Half of the Wing

At this point you can draw in the top right half of the butterfly’s wing. Make sure that it matches the other top part of the wing as symmetrically as possible. Check out the picture or time lapse video to help.

Butterfly Drawing Step 4 Image

Butterfly Drawing Step 5 Draw in the Bottom Left Wing

Now go back to the left side and draw in the bottom left wing of the butterfly. It will look more rounded than the top part of the wing, almost like the bottom part of a teardrop shape.

Butterfly Drawing Step 5

Butterfly Drawing Step 6 Draw in the Bottom Right Wing

All you need to do for this step is to mirror the bottom left wing on the right hand side, taking special care to make sure it is symmetrical. Have a look at the picture or video to help you.

Butterfly Drawing Step 6

Butterfly Drawing Step 7 Fill in the Details on the Inside of the Top Wings

For this step you can draw in the colourful shapes inside the two top wings themselves. Consult the picture and the video to help. First of all we will add stretched out teardrop shapes as the picture shows, taking care to mirror the same shapes on the other wing. Then you can add the three circles at the tips of both wings as you can see in the picture and video.

Butterfly Drawing Step 7

Butterfly Drawing Step 8 Add the Details on the Bottom Two Wings

Now you just need to draw in a series of teardrop shapes on the bottom left wing and then mirror it on the right side. Check the pictures and time lapse video to help.

Butterfly Drawing Step 8

Butterfly Drawing Step 9 Add in the Antennae

At this point draw in your two antennae at the top of the butterfly’s head. It will look similar to a U shape with two dots on the end.

Butterfly Drawing Step 9

Butterfly Drawing Step 10 Colour In Your Butterfly

This final step involves colouring in your butterfly, especially the wings. The body of the butterfly will be black. We have gone for a Red Admiral approach which involves red, black and white spots on the wings, but it is up to you what colours you would like for your butterfly. Have fun with it!

Affiliate Marketing | Tips For Beginners

Many people are interested in Affiliate Marketing but don’t know how to get started. Here are our best tips for beginners getting started in affiliate marketing who want to do things the right way with some integrity.

Table of Contents
1 Start a Blog For Your Affiliate Marketing
2 Keyword Research For Your Affiliate Marketing
3 How to Get Backlinks For Your Affiliate Marketing Website
4 Tiktok For Affiliate Marketing
5 The Best Affiliate Training Out There

Start a Blog For Your Affiliate Marketing

Alright, we may be biased here but there are many great reasons to start a blog. Our blog is a great place to share affiliate links and recommended products. The main reason for this is that a blog is one of the few things an online entrepreneur has some control of.

Have you ever considered that Social Media accounts are things you could lose? You perform a simple action that is entirely acceptable to you (and in your mind should be acceptable to Facebook/Instagram/TikTok etc) and suddenly your account is in jeopardy.

We have shared simple how to draw videos, and they have been labelled as inappropriate for literally no reason. Thankfully we haven’t been banned but others have, and still don’t understand why.

You could be penalised by Google because someone you don’t know decides to link to your website, and suddenly you have dodgy backlinks. This makes it difficult to rank and so your visibility on search engines is compromised. Also a Google update could seriously affect your rankings overnight, and you could find yourself unable to be found in search. After all, the old joke/adage holds true – if you want to successfully hide something put it on the second page of Google.

Unless you seriously break the policies of your host provider for your blog (which is much less likely than Social Media AND Google) you should always have your blog. You should always have this platform which provides great value to your readers.

In all honesty, starting a blog (much like starting a Youtube account) really does take time and effort and resilience. However the benefits outweigh the pitfalls longterm. You should start a Youtube channel, just as you should set up your own website and aim to rank on Google. Both are free and both can bring you a great deal of traffic.

It’s worth considering starting a blog because after you cross what some call the Critical Authority Threshold (CAT for short) you WILL start to generate traffic to your blog. As painful as it is to admit this threshold tends to take on average 6-9 months to cross. GASP. HORROR. FAINT.

If you know in advance the challenge you are taking on you won’t give up as easily as some. Adopt a steely mindset, produce great content and the rewards will inevitably come. After crossing the CAT our blog began to gather traction which lead to thousands of views.

Once you have a blog that generates 1000+ views a month (whether 6 months in or later) you can write blogs that rank on the first page of Google within a few days if you do your Keyword Research correctly. Especially if you managed to generate some worthwhile backlinks (high authority websites that link to your website. More on this later.

Keyword Research For Your Affiliate Marketing

In our experience getting a really decent SEO research tool like SEMrush, Ahrefs or Ubersuggest makes a huge difference. These platforms have a free (or cheap) trial period which allows you to find out the benefits for yourself.

Google Keyword Planner will give you the monthly search volume for chosen keywords as long as you have a Google Ads account. If you start a Google Ads campaign but then don’t go on to set it up fully and pay for it you can get access to the Keyword Planner and search volume for free.

Unfortunately, the search volume is only an estimate – e.g. 10000-100000 – so that’s why paid tools (or occasional sign ups for free trials are MUCH better). Finding out a search term is 100-1000 month is not very accurate or helpful. It’s too big a range.

If you do your Keyword Research well you can rank even with a relatively new website. Make sure you pay attention to Keyword difficulty. If a keyword has low competition (as in the websites that rank on Page 1 of Google have few backlinks) you should have a decent chance to rank.

Look at the first page of Google for a certain search (say for example ‘How to Rank on Google’) and see if there are any high authority sites on positions 1-7. If the first page of Google for that keyword is filled by Pinterest, Facebook, Etsy etc you can forget ranking for that keyword. You can’t take on these kinds of giants.

Instead, research keywords that have ordinary blogs with a relatively low DA (Domain Authority – based on how many backlinks the website has) on the first page for the keyword search. If ordinary blogs with a low DA dominate the first page of Google you know you have a chance. Learning how to analyse the first page of Google is SO important for understanding which keywords you can and can’t rank for, meaning you don’t waste your time chasing keywords that are unworkable. You get to know what you can rank for more and more intuitively with practice. The best SEO tools like SEMrush will help here because they will provide SEO difficulty as part of the process. Anything over 65-70 (classified as the upper end of medium difficulty) is going to be too difficult for a beginner website to rank for.

How to Get Backlinks For Your Affiliate Marketing Website

Backlinks enhance your website’s authority. Period. They are hugely important in how your website ranks in the search engines. The more backlinks your website has, the better it will rank in the search engines. Especially if the website that links to you has high authority itself. Domain Authority is based on the number of websites that link to that particular website.

Some people actually never set out to gain backlinks to their website as such. They aim to produce really good content so that people will naturally want to link to their website.
While that can be very successful if your content is outstanding, we would recommend that you actively pursue backlinks.

The best way to do this is to do what many call ‘outreach.’ Send emails to people and websites that are in the same niche as you, telling them how much you enjoy their content. Make sure you provide value to them by telling them you have ALREADY linked to them because you enjoy their content so much, and they might think about linking back to you. At first it’s best to offer them value without openly asking anything at all. Allow them to consider linking to you without pressure, and build relationships with other websites within your niche.

Google loves you to link out to other sources who are doing what you do because it enhances the user experience for people conducting the search. If you are searching ‘How to Start Affiliate Marketing,’ for example you could benefit from reading not just one but a few authoritative articles.

This will also reduce your ‘bounce rate,’ because people will read your whole article and go on to read other articles on Google. Your ‘bounce rate’ makes a massive difference to your ranking on Google because it means searchers are finding value in your article and not ‘bouncing,’ back to Google search again because they haven’t found what they are looking for.

Now we can move on to where to share your affiliate links without having a website. It must be stressed that having a ‘home,’ on the Internet really is the best starting point – all your efforts to build outwards should be based on having a blog/website that you can link back to and build from.

Quora For Affiliate Marketing

You can really add to your website’s visibility by signing up for quora.com. From this fantastic site you can answer questions related your niche and then add a link at the end to entice people back to your ‘home,’ website.

For the context of this article you could answer a question about affiliate marketing e.g. ‘Where can I share my affiliate links?’ and write a valuable and lengthy response to this question.

At the end of your response you could link to your article on your own website based around the subject of Affiliate Marketing. If this answer gets lots of upvotes (because it is helpful and informative) you could potentially drive a great deal of people to your website. If you use a keyword tool like SEMrush you will be able narrow down subject matter, Quora, and your topic (e.g. affiliate marketing) in such a way that you find the topics that are most searched and have the most visits and you could go viral, potentially driving traffic to your website on autopilot for months or even years to come.

Tiktok For Affiliate Marketing

It would be remiss of us NOT to mention the platform that is most likely to make your content viral at this stage. TikTok is unfortunately in a process of change and may soon be less viable for sharing affiliate links, but right now as this article is being published (October 2021) it’s not too late to set up your account.

If you can find some of the affiliate marketing accounts that have gone viral and use them as a model you can really have success. Don’t copy as that is useless and pretty much immoral, but do use the best videos as a model. Check out Spencerhacks or Make Money With Lori, and you will definitely find models you can use. You don’t need to do better videos necessarily, just understand what kind of video format is likely to go viral.

All you need is one or two videos to go viral and your followers will explode! Youtube can take months and months but at the moment Tiktok can blow up overnight, and no-one knows for how long this will be the case.

Take advantage of this opportunity to grow your affiliate marketing business while you can!

Art Commissions | Artists and Clients

Orla Gilkeson is an artist living beside the sea in County Down who paints in an abstracted contemporary style, capturing the essence of seascapes and landscapes around her.

She was recently featured in the prestigious ‘Ireland’s Homes, Interiors and Living’ magazine – the September 2021 issue. She also has an upcoming show at the Blackshaw’s Gallery in October 2021.

She has completed many Art Commissions and shares her experience of ‘Art Commissions | Artists and Clients,’ in this guest post.

Art commissions are an important part of my business and it gives me the chance to share my process and creative vision with my customers. It can be an exciting collaboration for the artist and clients to work together and share their ideas. It can also stretch me as an artist and help me to produce a piece of work that I otherwise would not have created.

Art Commissions Tip 1 Keep Communication Open

II have found that it’s usually best to meet in person to try and eliminate any miscommunication. This isn’t always possible, especially if the client and the artist live in two different countries!

However meeting the client for a coffee, or having them drop into your open studio means they get a sense of who you are, what your process is like, and your painting style. I paint in an abstract contemporary style although some people have expected me to do realistic portraits, or other types of painting which would not be part of my own creative journey.

I try to make sure that I point any inquiries from customers towards my Instagram or website so they can get a good sense of my painting, but I still sometimes have clients coming with unrealistic expectations of what I can produce. Some clients believe that because I am an artist with a Fine Art degree and years of experience that I can paint anything at all. Most artists specialise in a particular style.

Letting a client see my work allows them to commission art from me that hopefully suits both of us. Artists and clients are both coming from different perspectives, and that’s why it’s so important to keep the communication open.

Art Commissions Tip 2 Be Transparent About Pricing

Talking about money is always the most awkward part of the conversation so I find that it’s best to be as transparent as possible.

I have found the best way for me to calculate price is:

Price = hourly rate x how many hours spent on art commission

So if your decided hourly rate is $25 and the painting takes 20 hours to complete, then the price will obviously be $500. I know some artists work on the basis of $/square footage but this wouldn’t be my preferred method.

There are some other things to consider too, such as how well known/in demand the artist is. As artists we often don’t like to think of building a brand and the business side of things but that is essentially what we are doing with our names. Some artists have greater brand awareness and so their prices will be in the thousands rather than the hundreds.

Obviously the larger the canvas the more the commissioned artwork will cost. Canvases can be expensive and larger ones can be $100 or more to buy, so you need to price this in.

A piece of art is a luxury rather than a necessity, but that doesn’t mean that all your clients will be wealthy. I like to make sure that everybody has a chance to buy my art, so I do allow people to pay monthly and over a few months if they need to.

Art Commissions Tip 3 Be Clear What You Both Want

This leads on naturally from the idea of keeping the communication open. Clients usually come to me with a place that is special to them, that they would like me to paint. For example a local landmark, a beach, a wood or perhaps somewhere in the mountains.

Sometimes the client is happy to hand the idea over to me and let me exercise creative judgement and license, which is obviously ideal for me as the artist. Some clients are more specific about what they want and like to be more closely involved in the process. Either way I like to make sure I check in with the client, and I usually try a few ‘mock-ups’ or sketches to give them an idea what the final piece will look like.

Doing this makes sure that there aren’t any unpleasant surprises when the piece is finished, and both the artist and the client have not been wasting their time. We both need to be as clear as possible about the direction we are heading in. Although it can definitely be a pleasant experience for me if the client is laid back and happy for me to exercise my judgement, it is also possible that this could lead to the client not being happy with the final result.

This is why it’s so important to be as clear as possible about the outcome, and why I keep the client involved in my artistic process throughout. I also send pictures as the layers begin to develop, and I am letting one layer dry.

Art Commissions Tip 4 Know What You Are Good At as an Artist and Know Your Market

This is important for Artists in particular but it will obviously affect your clients as well. If you really like hyper realistic pencil sketches of dogs, but are ‘just ok,’ at them it’s an unfair thing to offer your clients. Some artists are fantastic at hyper realism, leave it to them. You need to find your style and then you can be confident that you can better serve your clients.

At the same time you have to consider who your ideal client would be and know your market. There is simply no point in indulging yourself in painting in a certain way if there is hardly anyone out there who appreciates your style. Artists, you need to know the kind of client who is likely to appreciate your art and commission, and if there are enough of them out there to make your art business sustainable.

Art Commissions Tip 5 Enjoy the Process!
Commissioning an artists should be a fun process for both artists and clients! Approach it with warmth, joy and passion and a spirit of cooperation. As the writer Neil Gaiman says, ‘The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.’

Peach Drawing – How to Draw a Peach in 9 Easy Steps

Peach Drawing Completed

Table of Contents

Peach Drawing Step 1 Sketch the Outline of Your Peach

Peach Drawing Step 2 Draw the Indent At the Top of the Peach

Peach Drawing Step 3 Draw the Split on the Right Hand Side

Peach Drawing Step 4 Add in the Stem Of Your Peach

Peach Drawing Step 5 Draw in One Leaf At the Top of the Stem

Peach Drawing Step 6 Draw the Midrib of the Leaf

Peach Drawing Step 7 Draw the Veins on Your Peach Leaf

Peach Drawing Step 8 Go Over Everything in Darker Lines

Peach Drawing Step 9 Colour in Your Peach

Welcome to our Peach Drawing Tutorial. We are going to help you to draw a peach in a few easy steps, follow our pictures and time lapse video to help you.

All you will need is a pencil, paper and of course this helpful tutorial!

As ever we will take you through step by step, starting off with light pencil lines which you can go over with bolder darker lines, either with marker or a thicker darker pencil.

Peach Drawing Step 1 Sketch the Outline of Your Peach

Start off by sketching the outline of your peach drawing in the middle of your page. Think of the shape as roughly circular but with a little indent at the top, and a curved almost triangular shape at the bottom. A peach could also be considered as a slightly plumper heart shape. 

Try to make sure your peach is as symmetrical as you can manage, but remember Nature isn’t perfect!

Check out the picture or the video to help you with this.

Peach Drawing Step 1

Peach Drawing Step 2 Draw the Indent At the Top of the Peach

Now you can draw in the indent that your stem will come from. It is shaped like bird wings stretched out.

Peach Drawing Step 2

Peach Drawing Step 3 Draw the Split on the Right Hand Side

Peaches and nectarines have a split down the middle so you can go ahead and draw it in now. Depending on the angle the peach is sitting at the split will be in different places. We have chosen to draw our split on the right hand side, but you could put it down the middle or more to the left. Just remember there will be a slight curve to your peach split because the fruit is a round shape.

Peach Drawing Step 3

Peach Drawing Step 4 Add in the Stem Of Your Peach

At this point we are going to add in the stem of your peach. This will look like a slightly more curved lower case ’n’ shape with a little circle at the top. You can rub out the pencil line where it overlaps with the first outline you drew.

Again check the picture or video to help you.

Peach Drawing Step 4

Peach Drawing Step 5 Draw in One Leaf At the Top of the Stem 

Now you can draw in a leaf sweeping down from the top of your stem. We have chosen to draw it on the right, but you could have a leaf on the left or even two leaves on the right and the left.

Peach Drawing Step 5
GetResponse Pro

Peach Drawing Step 6 Draw the Midrib of the Leaf

Now it’s time to add in the midrib of the leaf. You are going to add the veins branching off from it in the next step.

Peach Drawing Step 6

Peach Drawing Step 7 Draw the Veins on Your Peach Leaf

You can now draw the veins branching out from the midrib of your leaf. The easiest way to do this is to think of a V shape on its side with the point of the V touching the midrib of the leaf. You can draw 4-5 of these veins or a couple more if you like.

Peach Drawing Step 7

Peach Drawing Step 8 Go Over Everything in Darker Lines

Once you are happy with your whole peach shape you can go over your lines with a marker or darker pencil lines.

Peach Drawing Step 8

Peach Drawing Step 9 Colour in Your Peach

The last step involves colouring in your peach in nice bright yellow and red colours. Your stem will be brown and your leaves green. For the purposes of authenticity you could even add in a little peach fuzz as the picture shows!

Peach Drawing Step 9

This is a lovely little drawing exercise for beginners, and good fun too!

Moon Drawing | How to Draw the Moon in 5 Easy Steps

Welcome to our Moon Drawing Easy Tutorial! Today we are going to learn how to draw the moon in 5 easy steps. Don’t forget to sign up to our mailing list to be the first to hear about our new blogposts!

The moon has fascinated us humans for centuries, and many myths, art, literature, and music have been created around it. People have even worshipped the moon! It has even been suggested that it is made of cheese. Who came up with that idea?! They must have been wired to the moon themselves.

It’s a really great drawing exercise which is easy and fun. We’ll take you through it step by step with pictures and a time lapse video at the end. 

Table of Contents

Moon Drawing Easy Step 1 Draw a Circle in the Middle of the Page

Moon Drawing Easy Step 2 Draw a Cloud at the Bottom of your Moon

Moon Drawing Easy Step 3 Fill in the Details Inside the Moon

Moon Drawing Easy Step 4 Shade in Your Crater Shapes

Moon Drawing Easy Step 5 Add in Some Details to the Night Sky

Moon Drawing Step 1 Draw a Circle in the Middle of the Page

We are actually going to draw a full moon to keep things straightforward.

It could be quite difficult to draw a circle freehand so use a compass if you have one. Alternatively you could draw round your favourite mug, glass or even a circular baking cutter. It’s surprising how many circular items you can find around the house!

Moon Drawing Step 1

Moon Drawing Step 2 Draw a Cloud at the Bottom of your Moon

We are going to have our moon nestled in a cloud so draw the shape of the cloud as shown in the picture. You can make your cloud look more realistic by joining together a number of small semi-circles to make a fluffy outline. It’s best to make each little semi-circle a different size as clouds are rarely symmetrical and can seem quite random.

Moon Drawing Step 2

Moon Drawing Step 3 Fill in the Details Inside the Moon

Now we are going to add more detail to the inside of the moon. If it is a really clear night you can actually see some interesting crater shapes inside the moon, and this is the effect we are going to create. 

Draw in some random different shapes inside the moon, like the picture shows.

Moon Drawing Step 3

Moon Drawing Step 4 Shade in Your Crater Shapes

If you want to keep this pencil sketch just lean in more heavily for this to make your craters seem like shadows on the moon. If you want to colour in your moon drawing then just make sure you use a darker colour such as dark grey or black.

Moon Drawing Step 4

Moon Drawing Step 5 Add in Some Details to the Night Sky

This is where you can get creative and add your own touches. You add in some squiggly lines to show other clouds being blown about by wind, as well as add in a twinkling star or two. 

Finally you can colour in or shade in your moon drawing to add the final touches!

Moon Drawing Step 5

Now you know how to create a full moon drawing!

The iconic wolf is a symbol of cunning and fear, but also of intelligence, teamwork and wild freedom. We are going to be drawing an easy wolf so we are going to focus on the head of the wolf only, we’ll leave it up to you to shade or colour it in as you please. You may even want to draw in the body itself after we have got you started!

All you will need is a pencil and sketching paper.

Don’t forget to sign up to our email list to be the first to get notified about these high value posts.

Wolf Drawing Easy – Step 1 Draw the Head

In the centre of your page draw the shape of the wolf’s head as shown in the picture. Think of it as a flower pot shape but furry! Make sure it is as symmetrical as possible, and nicely placed in the middle of your page.

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial Step 1

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial – Step 2 Draw the Left Ear

Now you are going to draw the outline of the wolf’s left ear, as the picture shows. Draw a loose triangle shape beginning at the left side of the head and moving downwards until the ear finishes roughly one third down the left hand side of the head. When we draw the eyes in they will start roughly level with the end of the ear.

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial Step 2

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial – Step 3 Draw the Inside of the Left Ear

At this point you can draw in another triangle outline inside the ear to show the tip of the ear. You can also draw a squiggly line halfway down the ear, splitting it in half and showing the wolf’s fur.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 3

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 4 Draw the Right Ear

Repeat Step 2 but the other way around to draw the outline of the right ear. Make sure you finish the outline of the ear in line with the end of the left ear.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 5 Draw the Inside of the Right Ear

Repeat Step 3 but again the other way around to complete the inside of the right ear. Use the pictures and video to help.

Get leads. Get sales. Get growing. [2]

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 6 Draw the Fur Between the Ears

You can now draw a squiggly line for the fur between the wolf’s ears at the top of its head.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 4,5 and 6

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 7 Draw the Left Eye

Starting roughly in line with the bottom of the left ear, you are now going to draw the wolf’s left eye which is roughly oval shaped, as shown in the picture. Draw in the pupil as shown in the picture as well.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 7

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 8 Draw the Right Eye

Now repeat the same thing for the right eye so they are symmetrical and a mirror image of each other.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 8

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 9 Draw the Beginning of the Snout

Underneath the eyes draw two stretched out semi-circular lines to form the snout, as the picture shows.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 9

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 10 Draw the Nose

Now you can draw the nose at the end of the wolf’s snout as a rough circle with two holes for the nostrils.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 10

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial – Step 11 Finish off the Snout

Draw the rest of the snout as an upside down semi-circle which finishes just under the nose as shown.

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial Step 11

dickblick.com

How to Draw a Wolf Easy Tutorial – Step 12 Draw in the Mouth

Now draw in the mouth under the snout as a smaller, neater upside down semi-circle, as show in the picture.

Wolf Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 12

You can now choose to go back and shade in your wolf in greater detail or even colour it in if you wish. The inside of the ears will be lighter, as will the eyes, and the paler patches around the eyes. Grey wolves usually have whitish fur halfway down the head stretching down to their chest fur, and on the underside of their muzzles.

The nose and line of the mouth will be darker with the fur overall being quite a dark grey (unless you want your wolf to have a completely black mane).

How to Draw a Gun Step 11 – Draw in the Slide Stop and the Disassembly Lever

How to Draw a Gun Step 12 – Draw the Magazine Release Behind the Trigger

Welcome to our how to draw a gun tutorial where we will teach you how to draw a gun in 12 easy steps. Drawing guns is important in many art contexts such as manga, anime, graphic design or really cartoons of any kind. Whether you are drawing a cowboy or a futuristic robot, hero or villain, drawing a gun skilfully will really make your whole drawing so much more impactful. This is a fairly simple gun drawing but as ever getting it right will depend on attention to detail and perseverance.

All you will need for this is a pencil and paper.

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 1 – Draw a Long Thin Rectangle for the Gun’s Body

Start off by drawing a long thin rectangle in the middle of your blank page. This is the main body of your gun. See the picture or video to help guide you.

Drawing of Gun Step 1

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 2 – Draw a Long Thin Rectangle for the Gun’s Handle

We are going to have our gun aiming to the right, but of course you could do it the other way round just as easily. Now you can draw a second rectangle for the butt or handle of the gun. See the picture below.

Drawing of Gun Step 2

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 3 – Draw the Trigger Guard and Trigger of the Gun

This step involves drawing the trigger and its guard where the main body of the gun meets the handle of the gun. Check out the picture to help.

Drawing of Gun Step 3

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 4 – Draw the Hammer at the Back of the Gun

Draw in the hammer as shown in the picture. Don’t worry about the initial guidelines, we will rub them out soon.

Drawing of Gun Step 4

dickblick.com

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 5 – Draw in the Sights of the Gun

Simply draw in the front sight, and the rear site of the gun as shown.

Drawing of Gun Step 5

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 6 – Divide the Main Body in Two

Now you are going to divide the main body of the gun (the first rectangle you drew) in two as the picture shows.

Drawing of Gun Step 6

Drawing of Gun Step 7 – Rub Out the Guidelines and Round the Edges of the Gun

In this step you are going to rub out the initial guidelines as in the picture, and then draw around the whole outline of the gun making the edges rounded instead of sharp.

Drawing of Gun Step 7

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 8 – Draw the Grip onto the Handle of the Gun

Of course, not all guns have grips as such but we are going to have a grip on our handle, with two little screws to hold it in place at the top of the grip and at the bottom, as shown.

Drawing of Gun Step 8

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 9 – Add in the Safety Catch’s Switcher Above the Grip

This step involves drawing a series of vertical lines to make a rectangle above the grip of the gun to make the switcher of your safety catch. The last line should be parallel with the rear sight at the butt of the gun.

Drawing of Gun Step 9

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 10 – Draw The Barrel of the Gun

At the end of the gun you can draw in the opening of the barrel of the gun. It will look like a small rectangle facing downwards, as shown in the picture.

Drawing of Gun Step 10

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 11 – Draw in the Slide Stop and the Disassembly Lever

On the main body of the gun, just above the trigger you can draw in the slide stop and the disassembly lever, as shown in the picture.

Drawing of Gun Step 11

Drawing of Gun – How to Draw a Gun Step 12 – Draw the Magazine Release Behind the Trigger

The last step in your gun drawing is to draw the magazine release behind the trigger.

Now all you need to do is add the finishing touches in terms of shading and lighting. Think about where the light source in your picture would be coming from. We are going to think about the light coming from above the gun and to the right. This helps us to shade in the parts of the gun that would be in shadow.

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial

Welcome to our Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial. Wings can be used symbolically for a loved one who has passed on, or in cartoons, anime, graphic novels and the like. Please enjoy our ‘How to Draw Angel Wings Step by Step’ simple tutorial and have fun with it. Feel really proud of your angel wings drawing.

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Completed

You will need a pencil, sketching paper – felt tips or crayons are optional for colour for your Angel Wings Drawing. You can leave it as a pencil sketch if you want to. We have opted for an organic drawing without a ruler or drawing out a background grid. This makes the ‘angel’ look like he/she is standing a little sideways. Think of a bird in real life – one wing rarely aligns perfectly with the other!

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 1 – Start Your Angel Wings Drawing with the Main Outline of the Left Wing

The first step of your angel wings drawing involves starting at the bottom left of your page and drawing a relaxed ‘S’ shape in a curved diagonal line. This will form the main outline of the top of the left angel wing.  

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 2 – Mirror the Same Curved Line on the Other Side

Now you can draw an exact mirror image of this shape on the right hand side of the page. See the picture of the video to help you with this. Now you have the outline of the tops of the two wings.

Angel Wings Drawing – Step 1 + 2

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 3 – Draw the Flight Feathers on the Left Wing

Starting at the top of your left wing you are going to draw 3 feather (or finger) shapes which are all roughly equal sizes. Think of them as relaxed ‘n’ shapes. See the picture or video to help with this part of your Angel Wings Drawing.

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 4 – Draw the Flight Feathers on the Right Wing as a Mirror Image

Repeat the previous step on the right wing taking care to mirror the feathers on your left wing as closely as possible.

Angel Wings Drawing – Step 3 + 4

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 5 – Add the Flight Feathers on the Bottom Half of the Wings

How to Draw Angels Wings Step 5

Starting with the right wing you are going to draw in the feathers for the bottom halves of the two wings. Repeat this on the left wing matching the shapes of the feathers as closely as possible. Again you will be using loose ‘n’ shapes.

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 6 – Join up the Start of Your First Line with the Base of the Wing

Angels Wings Drawing – Step 6 – Complete the Base of Each Wing as Shown on the Right

Join up the start of your first line with the bottom of each wing. Use a curved ‘n’ shape and then some smaller tighter ‘n’ shapes. Mirror this process on the other side. Now you have completed the entire outline of the two wings!

How to Draw Angel’s Wings – Complete the Base of the Angel Wings on Both Sides

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 7 – Shade in the Top of the Wings

At this point you are going to draw a curved line right across the top of the inside left wing, as shown in the picture and video. This will extend from the tip of the feather right down to the base of the wing, as shown in the picture. Mirror the same curved line on the right wing.

How to Draw Angels Wings – Shade in the Tops of the Wings

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 8 – Add Feathery Textures to the Centre of the Wings

Now you can draw another curved line across the centre of each of the wings, roughly parallel to the top edge of the wings. This will add further feathery textures to the angel’s wings. As usual be careful to make sure the line on the right is as close to a mirror image of the left as you can manage.

How to Draw Angel’s Wings – Add a Feathery Texture to the Centre of the Wings

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 9 – Draw in Another Curved Line around the Base of the Wings

The next step in your angel wings drawing is to draw another curved line to show the small feathers around the base of the left wing, as shown in the picture. Now mirror it exactly on the right wing. This will make up the small feathers around the base of the wings.

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 10 – Draw in Another Layer of Feathers  

The next layer of feathers and will be like a smaller version of the bigger outline extending along the bottom edge of the wing, and will also be like the ‘n’ shapes or finger shapes we used in Step 3. Mirror the shape on the other wing.

How to Draw Angel Wings -Draw in Another Layer of Feathers

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 11 – Draw One Final Layer Of Flight Feathers

Now you are going to draw one final layer of feathers which are roughly going to follow the shape of your overall outline, and rise to a point. Again repeat this process on the other wing on the right hand side. See the picture to help.

How to Draw Angel Wings – Draw One Final Layer of Flight Feathers

Angel Wings Drawing Easy Tutorial Step 12 – Add Curved Lines to the Outside Feathers For More Detail

This is the final step. You can now add in some curved lines around the outside flight feathers near the bottom of the wings for extra detail and sharpness. See the picture to help.

How to Draw Angel Wings – Final Step

If you want to draw in a male or female form in the middle of the wings you can. Or you can leave your detailed, beautiful feathered wings as they are. Halos are also optional! 

You could even make your angel a little edgier by colouring in the wings grey, or even black. It’s entirely up to you!

Bullet Drawing Completed

Welcome to our Bullet Drawing Tutorial!

You’d be amazed how many people want to create a bullet drawing, or bullet sketch. Here’s our tutorial on how to draw a bullet using a pencil to produce a really cool bullet sketch.

7 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 7 

Bullets are used all the time in various art contexts from album covers to graphic designs, gaming designs, T-shirt designs, Anime, graphic novels, book covers, and film artworks to name just a few. They are great to draw for beginners especially but depending on the detail included can be done by more advanced artists too. 

We are going to be looking at how to draw a bullet sketch with the point facing to the right, but it’s really up to you which way it faces – just follow our instructions but point it in the opposite direction. You could also adjust the angle of your bullet so that you can see the circular butt at the blunt end if you wish also.

1 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 1

The best place to start drawing a bullet is with the actual body of the bullet which is a long narrow rectangle. Try to make sure that the top and bottom lines of the rectangle are straight and symmetrical, and of equal length. It’s best to use a ruler here. When it comes to drawing the two ends of the rectangle remember that they are slightly curved because a bullet is basically a cylindrical shape with a point at one end.

Now it’s time to add the shoulders of the bullet which are in the form of a trapezium shape.

Bullet Drawing Tutorial Step 2

3 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 3 

The next thing to do is to draw the neck of the bullet. Your drawing will now look a little like a flask or canister lying on its side.

Bullet Drawing Tutorial Step 3

4 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 4  

 Now you want to go ahead and add the head of the bullet which is shaped like a tall triangle which is slightly curved (rather than completely pointy) at the top. Note that your drawing will now look something like a marker on its side or a lipstick holder with the lipstick exposed.

Bullet Drawing Tutorial Step 4

5 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 5

Now you can start to work on the other end of the bullet at the rim or butt. This consists of three thin slightly curved rectangles in a row. The first rectangle fits in with the top and the bottom lines of your very first rectangle (the main body of the bullet) and then the second rectangle extends a little upward beyond the lines of the main body of the bullet to stick out a little. 

Bullet Drawing Tutorial Step 5 + 6

6 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 6 

Now the magic happens. Use the side of your pencil to shade in the bottom of the main body of the bullet so that it has a shadow which is not as a thick and dark as the bolder outlines of the bullet. Now do the same thing for the shoulders, neck and finally the head of the bullet so there is a line of shadow across the whole bottom of the bullet.

7 Bullet Drawing Tutorial – How to Draw a Bullet – Step 7 

If you would like a lighter shade along the top of the bullet. Try to imagine where the light might fall on the top of the bullet to make it as realistic as possible. This line will be lighter again than the bottom which will be in a deeper shadow.

You can now take the opportunity to rub out any lines that you don’t need with an eraser.

Bullet Drawing Tutorial Step 7

Done!

There is no particular order of which ones are best just plenty of easy ideas for aesthetic drawings. It might also be worth writing a caption underneath your drawing for extra effect, such as ‘journey,’ ‘wanderlust,’ ‘all who wander are not lost,’ or ‘stairway to heaven.’ You choose.

1 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – An Open Book 

For the best results see if you can find one that is quite old and interesting-looking. Open it up at a page that suits you, arrange it so that it sits at a really attention-grabbing angle and draw away.

 2 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – An Arrangement of Eggs On a Table Or in a Bowl

Try and find eggs that vary in tone and colour. If you can find duck eggs for contrast (they are usually a brilliant blue) that will really add to your drawing. Try to use coloured pencils or even watercolour brush pens to capture the different tones of the shells.

3 Aesthetic Drawing Ideas to Start With – Pieces of a Chess Board

These could be done in charcoal or as a pencil sketch to produce a really interesting black and white contrast. You could include part of the board underneath as an extra touch. A great black and white aesthetic drawing.

4 Aesthetic Drawing Ideas – Black and White Sketch of a UFO

It’s always good for beginners to try cartoonish drawings which are fun but great practice for symmetry and dimensions. Have fun with this one in particular! This would be the most simple of the easy aesthetic drawings mentioned in this post.

5 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Various Fruits

You could draw an apple, an orange, a banana or a grapefruit – whatever works for you! To make it more interesting slice the fruit open. You could try drawing the same piece of fruit using a variety of different mediums such as pastels, coloured pencils, graphite or perhaps watercolour brush pens (you would need to use watercolour paper here). The various shadows, tones and reflections of your chosen fruit will definitely stretch your skills!

6 Aesthetic Drawing Ideas – A Piece of Furniture

This could be a bed, an antique chair or even an armchair. Nothing says human comfort like a well chosen chair, and older chairs could tell many stories that could be illustrated in endless aesthetic sketches.   

7 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – A Coffee Mug 

A coffee mug is as good an example of human touch and interaction as you could possibly think of. You could draw it with steam coming out to show its heat and appeal or with a hand or hands holding it. Ah, blissful.Definitely one of the most cool and easy aesthetic drawings.

8 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Mountains

There is nothing that says adventure quite like a picture or drawing of a mountain. Don’t aim for perfection here draw your own interpretation of a mountain in a medium of your choice – watercolour, pencil, charcoal or coloured pencil. Have fun with it. Definitely one of the better aesthetic drawing ideas!  

9 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – a Tree or Trees

Something about trees and forests calls to us and makes us think of new experiences and journeys. We all love to see paintings and drawings of trees. Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to give people what they want. Including yourself. Go wild with brown, green, and enjoy the detail that can be found in Nature. Pick up a leaf or two on your way home if you like.

10 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Birds

Birds are the ultimate symbol of freedom, especially in a clear blue sky. If you find it difficult to draw a bird in flight, capture one in stillness as it’s one of the more easy aesthetic drawings. A quirky and arresting cartoonish bird can also go a long way and takes a degree of skill. This is definitely one of our favourite things to capture on paper, and one of the best aesthetic drawing ideas. 

Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas – A Bird

11 Aesthetic Drawing Ideas – Flowers

You could see this one coming a mile off – flowers are aesthetically stunning and it’s possible to produce something really decent as a beginner. Use really interesting colours – it might be worth thinking about spring or summer flowers with beautiful reds, golds, purples and greens in your lovely aesthetic drawing.

12 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Moon Shapes

As we all know the moon goes through various different phases throughout the month allowing for different moods and renderings. So many different effects can be achieved allowing for all sorts of mediums to produce a variety of aesthetic sketches. 

13 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Candles 

A candle casts such lovely shadows and provides a beautiful opportunity for light and shade. As such it’s an amazing thing to draw for beginners (as well as more advanced artists) to make a dramatic, bold and arresting aesthetic drawing. 

14 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – A Hot Air Balloon

The Hot Air Balloon is such an artistic, historic and appealing symbol of a quest or worthy journey that we had to include it here. If you have ever been in a hot air balloon you will know that it is simply one of the smoothest rides you could have which is why you will find this symbol in art, fiction and film. You can create outstanding colours for your balloon, and have it float against a sunrise or sunset, or even a night sky. As beautiful as an aesthetic drawing could be. 

15 Aesthetic Drawing Ideas – Creatures of the Sea

So much of the sea is still unexplored and new sea creatures are being discovered frequently. Drawings of the sea and its creatures are undeniably heart-warming and they make great subjects for beginners. Think whales, dolphins, fish, seas, sunsets and sunrises and you’re halfway to stunning art creations, and wonderful aesthetic sketches. 

16 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – The Sea Itself 

The sea and its constant change can be difficult to approximate but as a beginner it is possible to try to capture a simple moment, for example a wave against a beautiful sky. The sea is one of the most inspirational and enduring symbols of beauty, power and change that we know of. You could start with just one wave, and build on that to produce your aesthetic drawing.

17 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With  – Homes

Few places capture a sense of sanctuary and peace like the idea of home. Why not draw your own home, or go a little further and describe your perfect home through an aesthetic drawing? Although this requires an imaginative stretch you could come up with a unique and inspirational drawing.  

18 Aesthetic Drawings Easy Ideas to Start With – Simple Images From Nature

Drawing an acorn, a fern leaf, even a blade of grass is such a great practice for beginners and more advanced artists. It teaches you to really see what is around you, and consider the variety, fragility and beauty of the many lives that cross our path. Drawing a leaf is more intricate and rewarding than it first appears, the same is true of an acorn which is the seed of an incredible tree.  A true artist learns to be aware of such things technically and emotionally to produce beautiful aesthetic sketches.

Gifts For Artists No.4 A Portable Easel

Gifts for Artists No.5 Canvases

Gifts for Artists No.6 A Sensu Artist Brush

Gifts for Artists No.7 Art-themed Homeware

Gifts for Artists No.8 A Fine Art Photography Print

Here are some ideas to get you started here:

Gifts for Artists No.9

Gifts for Artists No.10 An Art-themed Phone Case

Gifts for Artists No.1 A Sketching Wallet

This is a great one to start with as it suits artists of all levels and interests. It allows you to sketch on the go, and never to miss out when the Muse visits. It’s perfect for artists who like to draw outdoors, and it can also be great for sketching out the beginning drafts that could later become a painting.

This lovely set includes an A5 landscape sketch pad, with a hardback cover and a wirebound spine, a lovely selection of Derwent drawing pencils (5x Graphic, 1x Charcoal, 2x Watersoluble Sketching, 1x Onyx and 3x Tinted Charcoal), an eraser, a blender and a metal sharpener.
Have a closer look here:

Gifts for Artists No.2 A Fine Art Class

This is something you could find locally with a few simple inquiries. You might need to find out which areas your artist might like to improve on, such as portraiture or landscape painting/drawing to make the best of the best of this.

It’s probably something an artist always aims to get round to doing, but never gets round it unless someone just happens to buy them a class for a gift.

Gifts for Artists No.3 An Artwork for Under $100

Many people think that original art is likely to be very expensive and so wouldn’t consider buying an artwork an option. However there are many places you can get really great and affordable original art.

Lesser known artists will naturally be less expensive, although not necessarily lower quality. Etsy is worth a look here also.

You may wish to have a look here for some ideas, or have a look at Amazon Handmade.

Gifts for Artists No.4 A Portable Easel

An easel may seem an obvious gift for an artist, but they can be expensive. That’s why a portable one is a perfect gift for an artist – especially one who likes to paint outdoors (or en plein air). This is comfortable wooden one that is easy to carry and store.

Check it out here:

Gifts For Artists No.5 Canvases

Again this may seem obvious, but artists will always need canvases. Also they don’t have to be as expensive as you might think either. We would recommend these Arteza canvases and you can get 6 stretched ones in a pack for a very affordable price.

Gifts for Artists No.6 A Sensu Artist Brush

This is especially suitable for digital artists, and those interested in starting digital art. It’s a stylus that is compatible with a tablet or smartphone. It certainly saves on ink and will really help you ‘brush,’ up on your skills. Painting on a screen freels very different to other surfaces, but it can really pay off in other ways.

Have a look here:


Gifts For Artists No.7 Art-themed Homeware

If your artist is active on Instagram it could be a really personalised present to print off one of their paintings and have it printed onto a mug, plate, vase etc for them. You also visit websites such as Society6 or Redbubble to find unique designs by artists that can be printed onto almost anything from cups to curtains.

Have a look at this lovely vase which has a Van Gogh painting printed on it, for another idea.


Gifts for Artists No.8 A Fine Art Photography Print

A giclee print (a high quality art print) is a lovely gift for anyone, especially an artist. It could be a picture of one of their favourite places that inspires them, nature, landscape, or even a family member who has passed on.

Here’s an idea to get you started:

Gifts for Artists No.9 A Collection of Their Favourite Artist’s Work

This is a great reference book to keep coming back to again and again, and will look lovely on your artist’s shelves. This Gauguin book is just an idea to get you started on your research.

Gifts for Artists No.10 An Art Themed Phone Case

Artists are always using their phones to take inspiring photos, or look up art for inspiration, so why not get them a lovely phone case that identifies them as an artist?

The Klimt one here is just one of the many different phone cases you could look at that are art-related.

VPNs – A Guide to the Best VPNs and Why You Should Use One

Introduction: The Need for VPNs

Virtual private networks or VPNs are network that are constructed using public wires–usually the Internet- to connect to a private local area network, thus providing privacy.

A virtual private network (VPN) extends a private network across a public network, and enables users to send and receive data across shared or public networks as if their computing devices were directly connected to the private network.

The idea of VPNs was first developed in the 1980s by large telecommunication companies who wanted to enable remote users to access their organizations’ internal systems securely over what was then often an insecure open-wire system.

What’s the Difference Between a VPN and a Proxy?

A proxy is a server that acts as an intermediary between the client and the destination server. The client connects to the proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web page, or other resource available from a different server and the proxy provides the service by connecting to the destination server and returning the result.

A VPN is used to create an encrypted “tunnel” for data to travel through. VPNs are often used for personal privacy with public Wi-Fi networks at libraries or coffee shops.

Choosing the Right VPN for Your Needs

A VPN is a virtual private network. A VPN creates an encrypted tunnel between your device and a server operated by the VPN company, and all your online activity passes through this protected tunnel. This means that your data is safe from prying eyes, such as hackers and ISPs.

There are many factors to consider when choosing a VPN service for you. Here are some of them:

– The size of the company’s network

– The type of encryption they use

– How many devices you can connect to the service at one time

– Their logging policy

– Whether they have a kill switch function

– What payment options they offer

Why You Should Use a Dedicated IP with Your VPN

A dedicated IP is a static IP address that can be assigned to a single device or to a single customer. It’s different from the dynamic IP address, which changes every time the user connects to the Internet.

A dedicated IP can help keep your online activity private and secure because it’s not shared with other users on the network. It also helps you avoid getting blacklisted by some sites, including video streaming services like Netflix, Hulu, HBO Now, and others.

The use cases for using a dedicated ip are as follows:

– You want to hide your identity

– You need an extra layer of security on public wifi networks

– You want to access geo-restricted content

3 Tips to Setting Up Your VPN That Will Prevent Leaks And Keep You Safe Online

A VPN is an online security tool that you can use to protect your privacy. It encrypts your internet connection, making it much harder for hackers or government agencies to access your data.

1) Get a VPN with a good reputation

2) Use a VPN on all of your devices

3) Keep your VPN updated

Suggestions for Reputable VPNs

VPNs are widely used for a variety of reasons, including the ability to increase internet speed and encrypt data. But with so many VPNs on the market, it’s very important to find one that is reliable and trustworthy. Below are a few suggestions for reputable VPNs:

Express VPN

Express VPN is a very popular VPN service that offers a variety of features and coverage. They have a number of servers in the US, Europe, Asia and Africa.

They also have a very good customer service team that can be reached by phone or email.

However, their price plans are on the high side and they have some connection difficulties at times.

Express VPN 12month Plan = £5.09/month

Express VPN 6month Plan = £7.62/month

Express VPN 1month= £9.88/month

NordVPN

NordVPN is a long established VPN service with over 20,000 servers across the world. They provide military-grade encryption and 6 simultaneous connections on 6 devices. NordVPN offers a 30-day money back guarantee with their subscriptions and they have apps for Windows, MacOS, Android, iOS, Linux devices and more.

NordVPN costs around half the price of Express VPN, and is probably the best known Virtual Private Network.

The most reasonable pricing is accessed with a multi year plan.

NordVPN 2 Year Plan = £2.74/month

NordVPN 1 Year Plan = £3.64/month

NordVPN 1 Month = £8.84/month

ProtonVPN is one of the most popular VPN services on the market. It claims to be the world’s fastest secure VPN with unlimited bandwidth.

However, it has been found to have some serious security flaws that would allow a hacker to break into your account and access your sensitive information.

It’s also pricier than NordVPN.

Proton VPN Basic $4/month

Proton VPN Plus $8/month

Proton VPN Visionary $24/month

Here are some of the top BlueHost alternatives:

- WP Engine: A managed hosting service with a focus on WordPress. It’s perfect if you want to get started quickly and don’t want to worry about technical details. If you need advanced features, it costs more than other options on this list.

WP Engine provides scalable plans starting at $29/mo, but this does not include any site migration or security installation. They offer 24/7 phone support, daily backups, automatic browser optimization, and easy installation of the most popular plugins.

- HostGator: The most popular hosting provider in terms of customer satisfaction and popularity.

There are some serious downsides however.

There are higher renewal costs further down the line, and your Web Space is actually capped at 10GB-30GB. Also if you want managed hosting features you will need one of the more expensive plans - either

Conclusion - Is BlueHost Worth Buying? Should You Switch to BlueHost?

BlueHost is a web hosting company founded in 1996. It has over 2 million customers and offers shared, reseller, and dedicated hosting solutions. To conclude let's consider whether Bluehost is the best option for hosting your website.

Non-fungible tokens (NFTs) are a new type of cryptocurrency. They are represented by unique, non-interchangeable digital assets. An NFT can represent anything and can be traded and sold in the secondary market in a decentralised manner.

“Non-fungible” means that the digital art is completely unique and can’t be replaced

For example, a dogecoin or bitcoin is fungible — you can trade one for another dogecoin or bitcoin, and then you have exactly the same thing. An NFT is the only one of its kind and so it can be considered non-fungible.

What is Opensea?

Opensea is a content distribution network. It is a new kind of CDN that uses a decentralised blockchain protocol to store and distribute files. Opensea eliminates the need for expensive centralised servers, so file distribution is faster and cheaper.

Simply put it is a marketplace for the buying and selling of NFTs.

What was the first tokenised Crypto Artwork?

The paintings of Sasha Ivanov were the first tokenised crypto artworks, with an individual painting being worth 10,000 USD. The artist was one of the early adopters of this new form of art and is considered a pioneer in the space.

The first crypto art that was actually tokenised on the NameCoin Blockchain was ‘Monegraph’ (Monetized Graphics) by Anil Dash and Kevin McCoy. This happened on 2 May 2014 at the ‘Seven on Seven’ conference at the New Museum.

Examples of other noteworthy crypto artworks would be ‘MYSOUL’ by Rhea Myers which was issued on the Counterparty blockchain on November 11, 2014, ‘the Rare Pepe’ created by Mike on September 9, 2016, or the ‘FDCARD’ which was created by the Gaming Company EverdreamSoft on March 11, 2015.

What is the Most Expensive Crypto Artwork Ever Sold?

Mike Winkelman (aka Beeple sold his digital art collage “EVERYDAYS: THE FIRST 5000 DAYS” (ERC-720 token) at a Christie’s auction for $69 Million Dollars on March 11, 2021.

Can I Buy Crypto Art Cheaply?

The best place to get Crypto Art cheaply is at Fiverr. You can commission someone to create many different forms of digital art, NFTs and crypto art.

Some of the creators on Fiverr even suggest that you can mint the digital art with your own name and sell them on Opensea!

How do I Make My Own NFT Art?

5 steps to creating your own NFT

Making your own NFT is a fun and relatively straightforward process. Follow these 5 steps to create a piece of art that reflects your own style.

1 Choose Your Artwork – NFTs can be anything – videos, a text or even some music turned into a multimedia file. Check out Opensea for some ideas!

2 Get some Ether (this is the easiest and most popular way to make NFTs). Download the ‘Metamask’ free app on your phone and put some Ether into your Ethereum Wallet. Yes it’s going to cost some money to make your own NFT, and possibly some more to mint it (although it’s free if you do this on the Opensea platform).

3 Create and list your NFT on a marketplace. We recommend Opensea because it’s free to mint and you can have unlimited listings. There are other options such as Rarible or Mintable. You will need to connect your Ethereum wallet to your Opensea free account.

4 Create your NFT – once your wallet is connected you can go ahead and create your NFT, following the steps shown on Opensea. Get it minted and you’re in!

5 Promote your NFT – unless you have an existing audience you will need to promote your NFT to people interested in your art. We would suggest Facebook groups, Quora, Pinterest and Reddit.

Is Crypto Art the Future of Art?

The idea of art as a commodity has been around for centuries. However, the idea of digital art as a commodity has only been around for a few decades. Digital art is created by computers and does not use any traditional materials. It can be sold as digital files or as prints on paper, canvas, or other materials.

The future of crypto art may be to use it for transactions and creating rare digital collectibles that are stored in a blockchain instead of one central location.

Crypto art is still a very young and emerging form of digital artwork that uses blockchain technology to store the artwork and provide ownership records.

It also provides a way to verify ownership through the use of cryptographic signatures embedded in the work itself.

Much like cryptocurrency itself, the future is uncertain for crypto art. Whether is rises in value and popularity ultimately depends on how many people (especially the wealthy and influential) buy into it.

A Brief History of Dogecoin

The Dogecoin was created in 2013 and is a cryptocurrency that has a Shiba Inu as its mascot.

The Dogecoin was introduced in December 2013 by programmer Billy Markus and Jackson Palmer. They wanted to create a fun cryptocurrency that would reach a broader demographic than Bitcoin.

Dogecoin’s code is based on Litecoin, which means it uses Scrypt as its proof-of-work algorithm. It was initially introduced as “a joke currency” but soon gained traction and became one of the most popular cryptocurrencies in circulation.

The Benefits of Dogecoin as a Currency

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency that was created in 2013. It was created as a parody of the Bitcoin. The idea behind it is to have fun with cryptocurrencies and not take them too seriously.

Dogecoin has some benefits over other cryptocurrencies because it has lower transaction fees, faster confirmation times, and higher supply of coins.

Why Do People Invest in Dogecoin?

Dogecoin is a coin that was created in 2013 and has been steadily increasing in value ever since. The coin is based on doge, a meme that became popular in 2013.

The reason why people invest in doge is because of the low price and the potential it has to increase in value.

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency like Bitcoin, but it uses the Shiba Inu dog from the Doge meme as its logo.

What’s the Difference Between Lite and Dogecoin?

Dogecoin is a cryptocurrency created to be a “fun” and “friendly” currency. The Dogecoin community is very welcoming and open, which has helped it grow quickly.

The Litecoin community is more serious and technical, which has helped it maintain stability.

Litecoin has a faster transaction time than Dogecoin, but that doesn’t mean that Dogecoin transactions take too long. The average wait time for a Dogecoin transaction to complete is 1 minute and 15 seconds, while the average Litecoin transaction takes 2 minutes and 45 seconds.

How Much is a Dogecoin Worth?

If you are not familiar with the term DOGE, it is a cryptocurrency that was created as a joke. The value of one DOGE is around $0.0013.

The value of one DOGE is around $0.0013.

How Can I Invest in Dogecoin?

There are a number of ways to invest in Dogecoin, but the most common way is to buy and hold. This means that you would buy Dogecoin and then hold onto it for a long period of time. You may also purchase Dogecoin with the intention of selling it at a higher price in the future.

We recommend using the Social Trading Platform eToro – it’s a lot like Facebook for Investors. You can recommend, listen to the recommendations of others and most importantly copy expert traders.

eToro Investing in Dogecoin

eToro offers a variety of investment options. Users can invest in stocks, commodities, indices, and currencies. eToro also offers day trading and short-term trading in a way that is easy to understand and simple to use.

With the aim of making investing accessible to everyone, they offer a web platform, mobile app and desktop application. This helps investors manage their investments on the go and make informed decisions.

Yet it’s the social aspect that keeps eToro users coming back again and again. You can learn from other investors by observing what they are doing and how they are building their portfolios.

eToro Copy Trading for Doegcoin

The eToro copy trading feature is a tool that allows you to automatically follow the investment strategy of other traders.

You can see how many people follow a certain investor and which cryptocurrencies, indices, or companies they are buying or selling, and then place copy trades. A portfolio should be made up of various different sectors which behave differently at different times, much like the balances of flavour in a meal.

For example, Gold is a safe haven for investors when the indices are down, as is the Japanese Yen. Many investors can balance out their losses and gains by having funds in different sectors. Bonds and shares are diametrically opposed so investing in Government bonds when economies are going downwards can be worthwhile.

You obviously want to buy a share when it reaches a low level from which it should bounce back and become more valuable. You would want to sell shares when they are overvalued and likely to fall back in value until they reach a point where you can sell and make a profit.

For beginner traders there are actually fewer better options than to copy trade and learn from an expert trader who has learned how to navigate the ups and down of the stock market.

Some traders are particularly experienced in the volatile world of cryptocurrency and you can access their knowledge and expertly executed trades. Why wouldn’t you want this kind of insider knowledge?

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide

We often get asked how to do a mountain drawing, so here is our mountain drawing easy step by step guide with pictures of each stage and a fun time lapse video at the end.

Mountains are actually made out of the Earth’s crust, and formed by tectonic plates pushing rock and earth upwards over a very long period of time.

Many artists have produced beautiful drawings of these awe-inspiring symbols of grandeur and permanence.

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 1

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 2 Draw a Jagged Outline

This easy step involves drawing the outline of your first mountain, which is going to be biggest one in the range. Starting at the right hand side of your page draw a jagged line from the edge of the page to finish along the curved line of your foothills, as seen in the picture and video.

Make sure you have a nice peak in the middle, as shown.

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 3 Draw a Second Mountain

Now we will draw another rugged line to form a second, smaller mountain on the left hand side of the page.

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 4 Draw a Third Mountain in Between

At this point we are going to draw a third mountainous peak in between the first two, as shown in the picture and video. You can add in as many peaks as you like here, even ones that fade into the distance, but we are just leaving it as three peaks.

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 4

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 5 Add in Extra Details to the Slopes

Now we want to fill in some extra details on our mountains. Many mountains are so high that they have snow at their peaks all year round, so we are going to add in snow at the top of each of our three peaks.

You can also add in some extra lines to show the slopes on the sides of the mountains. Check the picture and video to help with this.

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 7

Mountain Drawing Easy Guide Step 8 Colour it In!

You can definitely mix things up a little here if you like, there are many different colour palettes for a mountain scene, throughout the seasons and times of day or night.
