Lines and Colors is a blog about drawing, sketching, painting, comics, cartoons, webcomics, illustration, digital art, concept art, gallery art, artist tools and techniques, motion graphics, animation, sci-fi and fantasy illustration, paleo art, storyboards, matte painting, 3d graphics and anything else I find visually interesting. If it has lines and/or colors, it's fair game.
These are some art related web sites I designed.
Highest quality handmade oil paint colors.

Fantastic visions of other worlds by science fiction illustrator Karl Kofoed
I don’t really wish to paint this way myself (not that I’m suggesting I could:) but whenever I see a Bierstadt landscape it nearly gives me shivers and If I was standing in front of one I am sure I would have goose bumps! That sky is a bit romantic but damn if it doesn’t look solid enough to fly through. And all that beautiful violet as well.
Thanks for the share.
