Color Theory
General Design, Graphic Design
Nice presentation for a pencil and notepad set. This comes from a website that has to be translated (for non-French speakers), so the image has to sell itself, which I think it does.

Advice on Sketching
Design Tools, General Design, Graphic Design
This advice for how to better render is a good set of guidelines. I, like others who have read this and posted, do not agree with the last one, though. ”Always cheat” is a bad way of saying reference what is around you. Underlays and references to scale and style are not cheating, so the wording threw me for a loop. But overall, it’s a good article.

Graffiti Heaven
Product DesignThis sketchbook offers a compromise for all of the blight-ridden commercial building owners and street vandals who claim to have no other place for displaying artwork. Full-page spreads of New York City’s grimy cityscapes, abandoned vehicles and vacant storefronts make this sketchbook a means for cathartic artistic behavior without having to incur property damage or create an everlasting eyesore for commuters and city residents.
