My Personal Thoughts

. After creating drawings for the past 40 years, his creative expression still depict the would as we see it today, there is nothing artificial about John Nelson Drawing, each drawing has it’s unique personality and emotion, you have to see to believe. John Nelson is truly a master of his craft John Nelson is truly an American hero, Born and raised in the inner city of Washington D.C., this artist spent most of his life observing the shape and form of his culture, from the little baby asleep( serenity) in the crib, to the people in the cotton field picking cotton ( “The Only Way Out”)the young lady want so bad to leave and the cotton field to get a good education. At a young age, I have been bless to see the world as it is, not as I want it to be, with a stroke of my pencil, I can make that time stand still. Growing up during the civil rights movement, it was not popular to be black in America so Mr. Nelson decided to dedicate his life to creating strong black images of black people with strong social thems. That was a strange time as a teenager to see picture of black people with white lips in a negative situation, I was 14 year old when I herd Martin Luther King speak at the lincoln Mamorial it was a day I can not for get, I have my piece of history by working under the tint at the march on Washington, making silk sceen signs, I pay for that day my mother gave me a good beating for being away all that day, it was worth it.  His jazz collection is truly a masterpiece, the rendering of Miles Davis and Dizzy Gillespie will last threw out the distance of time.

Choosing The Right Drawing Paper

Papers. Papers are classified primarily according to two criteria: weight and content. The weight given for a specific paper refers to the weight of one ream, or 500 sheets of a standard size of that paper. For example, a 100-pound paper would weigh 100 pounds per ream. Thus, the heavier the ream, the sturdier the paper. I love to work with Strathmore 4ply paper The content of a paper can be rag, wood pulp, or a combination of the two. Woodpulp and combination papers are chemically treated, and this causes yellowing and deterioration; 100 percent rag papers are actually shredded and soaked cotton rags held together with a binder, pressed to form sheets, and then dried. This type of paper is more expensive, but it is resistant to yellowing.

For Begginning Artist

For the beginning artist, choosing the right pencils, papers, and erasers can be difficult and confusing. The materials I will discuss here are those I have used and have found, through experimentation, to be best suited for disciplined sharp focus drawing. I will be using them for the various drawing projects throughout the book, and I recommend that you use them also, particularly if you are just starting to draw. If at any time you discover other materials that you feel will aid your own drawings, however, by all means experiment with them.
