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.

Sir Lawrence, aka Lourens, Laurens, Alma-Tadema was born in Frisian Dronryp(Dronrijp), the Netherlands, trained in Antwerp, Belgium, settled in England where he felt ‘at home’, but died in Germany. He was expected to become a lawyer, but due to tuberculosis his destiny had altered.
P.S. Alma was Tadema’s adopted name.
