So I have to make an action teapot. What that means is to make a functional teapot that doesn't look like a teapot at all. I choose a snail moving over a branch now I have until December to be finished completely with this. So I do have some time and it is rough. I want ideas on how to make the snail (the actual teapot which it is already hollow) more like a snail. I plan on adding texture and that swirl snails have on the shell, and to smooth out the body, but I feel like that isn't enough. I do plan on adding some super slip to the "branch" and the snail to make more distinct color differences. However what else should I add to the form? I was thinking flowers in patterns of ones and three at random areas. But that might be cliche.

Going to my first life drawing session with a nude model tomorrow. It's not a class, just a meet up. I'm going to take a sketchbook and a pencil and try to enjoy the experience. What do I need to know?

This is a painting i saw in school. does not have an artist name. I figured out who some of the people are but not everyone.

Anyone got advice on this? I'm tempted to buy a drawing table to put in my attic away from my pc to work without distractions. A light table seems nice to do old fashioned animation on paper.

I'm looking for great female illustrators. Can you guys name a few?

Daily reminder that life isn't fair

So i wanna start making cool tributes, this is my first attempt, What should i improve on?
