John Lanchester: A Very Good Election to Lose - The government has to cut the deficit. That involves raising taxes and cutting spending. The government can?t do it too quickly, or it would tip the country back into recession. But the government will have to administer some cuts in spending, because the bond market insists on it. The government can?t cut too thoroughly, because the electorate won?t wear it. Inflation looks like the only way out. Not too much inflation, because the bond market w... Christopher Tayler: Clive James - Clip show presenter, chat-show host, star of a series of travel documentaries, essayist, lyricist: he was for a time a king of all media, even publishing a bestselling novel, Brilliant Creatures, in 1983. His shtick ? part rough diamond, part name-dropping highbrow, part fast-talking joker, part self-delighting goon, with a dry, singsong Aussie delivery ? was something you were expected to understand jokes about if you lived in Britain in the 198... Conor Gearty: Human Rights Law - If the first legitimate worry about a social democratic bill of rights would be an explosion of litigation, the second concerns the danger of legitimating a wrong or a great injustice. The Human Rights Act has not really been tested in this regard, since Labour has done so little of an even vaguely socialist nature. But the right to property probably did constrain it in relation to the nationalisation of Network Rail (otherwise why pay compensati...

Sketching Faces - Freehand sketching is a useful skill for any artist, and one that forms the backbone of many artist's technique. Sketching allows you to observe and expressively draw your subject, with a focus on structure and form rather than obsessing about small detail.
This week I'm really chuffed to share a new tutorial on Sketching Faces, created for Drawing/Sketching readers by cartoonist Ed Hall. Ed is a brilliant cartoonist whose work has featured in m... Detail in Charcoal - We often think of charcoal as a medium for quick sketches or large figure drawings. But you can use it for detailed work too. Studies like this animal skull by Alberoni show the depth that can be achieved. Charcoal pencils are ideal for doing the detail in drawings like this, or you can use a stick, 'sharpened' on a piece of sandpaper or rough cardboard. Charcoal can be difficult to erase, so be careful to preserve highlights. Beginners sometimes... Going Freelance - Look Before You Leap - If you're going to go freelance, it's important to do your homework and have some idea of what you're in for. 'Seize the day' is a nice mantra for personal development gurus but 'fools rush in' to bankruptcy, especially in the current financial climate! By making a realistic assessment of your marketable skills, formulating a business plan, and preparing ahead for the ups and downs of freelance life, you stand a much better chance of success. The...

... Checking Your Composition - I was just thinking about how important composition is to the success of a drawing. Remember that the figure, object or scene that you are drawing isn't floating in space, or in the middle of your infinite field of view once you draw it - it's relating to the four sides of the page. Does it make sense, the way you've placed it on the paper?
Converting your image to grayscale on the computer, or scaling it up or down, or even playing with colors -... Blogs Worth Reading: Paintings, Prints and Stuff - I'm a printmaker, so the mention of 'prints' is sure to catch my attention. Add some beautiful paintings of British coastline, lush mixed-media pieces, and of course, sketchbook pages, and you've got my attention for a good hour or two. The work here is really good. It's easy for landscape to be a bit insipid and lazy, especially when abstracted, but Vivien Blackburn doesn't fall into that trap - her textures are authentic and robust, her composi... Human Anatomy References - If you can't get to a life class - or need a break from the intensity of drawing a full figure - there are a few ways to improve your figure drawing away from the Life Drawing studio. One is to do studies of small details, using a mirror. Work on hands, feet, head, ears, nose. Focus on simplified but accurate structures, observing proportion, and describing essential details with economical mark-making.
Anatomy study is always worthwhile. Use an... Learn to Draw a Wolf - Wolves are popular subjects. There's something magical about them, and they hold a special place in the mythology and legends of many peoples. Of course, werewolves have been popularized recently by the Twilight books and movies, particularly the recent New Moon; a couple of readers have sent in drawings of Jacob Black, but unfortunately due to copyright restrictions, I can't share them with you. So last year I asked artist Michael Hames to creat... Show Jumper in Colored Pencil - This new horse drawing tutorial by equine artist Janet Griffin-Scott is of a horse and rider - Nicole and Jammer - showjumping. With the action over a jump, and a rider, it's a complicated drawing. But Janet breaks it into manageable steps, using a fresh, light touch with the colored pencil so that the drawing doesn't become overworked. Check out her Show Jumper in Colored Pencil
