This is the second lesson in a series on how to make your portraits stand out and get attention. In this video, you will discover how our eyes function to take in information around us. Because the eye jumps around you can use that information to think of your portrait more like a storyboard which will create movement and interest for your viewers. Remember, you are the art director and that means you have total control over what your viewers see and to some extent what they experience when looking at your art.

In this video I will offer some great creative tips on overcoming art block while demonstrating again why ArtRage 6 Studio Pro is so cool.

This video is about automatic drawing, a technique from Tim Gula (http://tinyurl.com/y6j3hmr3I) learned about from a recent Proko video. TIm worked with the great comic book artist Mobius and learned the technique from him over his shoulder. It's great for clearing your mind to attain a more relaxed state. From there your childlike wonder and creativity begin to emerge again. You can check out Proko's video here: https://www.youtube.com/user/ProkoTV
