Contour drawing helps you see that the things you are drawing aren't things but rather shapes that intertwine and connect.

For sheer excitement you can keep movie premieres and roller-coasters. An empty white canvas waiting to be filled. That's the thing.

    Cool Pix!!! It´s way cool, but is it computer-drawn or drawn by hand? I´m always curious about that.

    I don’t know about this image specifically, but my impression is that most of these are drawn on paper first, then scanned and finished in Photoshop. See the links in the article to Tutorials and in the first comment to instructional DVDs.

    Also see my more recent post about Feng Zhu’s involvement with Gamma Ray Studios.
