Another tutorial. Simple tutorial as always, this time mentioning how to make a fur texture using BIC’s. Next tutorial will be about getting proportions right. Many of these things are not new for many artists, however these tutorials are for many people who are starting recently on the art-world. More in-depth art tutorials are being developed. But for now, these weekly art tips are available.
Anyways, I want to say thank you for my friend Luciana, for letting me take photos non-stop of Inuit.
Happy birthday to German scientist Petrus Apianus, aka Peter Apian, born in Saxony on April 16, 1495. A mathematician, astronomer, and cartographer, he was a favorite of Charles V of the Holy Roman Empire. In 1540, Apian created Astronomicum Caesareum and dedicated it to his imperial benefactor. It was a sumptuous Renaissance instructive manual that explained, in part, how to use an astrolabe to calculate the altitude of the stars and planets. (Bibliotheque Nationale de France)
