Some Cool Tutorial Videos and Tesla!!

As most people know, I've been busting my butt trying to get better at drawing faces and features.  A dear friend of mine, Dirk Tiede, once recommended that I look into the Andrew Loomis books, since they are universally respected by comic artists.  Trouble is, they are long out of print.  

Some of the books have been reprinted, and better still, there's a new series of videos that use the books as a basis for tutorials!  I've seen one of them, and I must say, they are easy to understand and have the potential to make it much easier to draw heads and faces!  Here's the link:  www.proko.com/  If for some reason the link doesn't work, just Google "Proko" and you will find it early in the listings.  As of today, he's got two vids up, with many more planned.  I'm going to be subscribing to his site for sure!

In other cool news, there will finally be a real Tesla museum in the US!  A group effort was made to buy Tesla's old Wardenclyffe lab with the plan to turn it into a museum.  This is MARVELOUS!!!  Tesla is a real amazing scientist and inventor that got marginalized by Edison and it was a horrid injustice to the man who invented radio, tesla coils, AC house current, and the precursor technology for television.  I could only donate $100 to the cause, and wish I could have donated much more.  It really seriously needed to be done to right an injustice that's stood way too long.  Tesla lives!

Someday, I REALLY want to do a painting of him.....
