Drawing the ancient art ! ! ! !
Drawing is a visual art that makes use of any number of drawing instruments to mark a two-dimensional medium. Common instruments include graphite pencils, pen and ink, inked brushes, wax color pencils, crayons, charcoals, chalk, pastels, markers, stylus, or various metals like silverpoint. An artist who practices or works in drawing may be referred to as a draftsman or draughtsman.
A small amount of material is released onto the two dimensional medium which leaves a visible mark—the process is similar to that of painting. The most common support for drawing is paper, although other materials such as cardboard, plastic, leather, canvas and board, may be used. Temporary drawings may be made on a blackboard or whiteboard, or indeed almost anything. The medium has also become popular as a means of public expression via graffiti art, because of the easy availability of permanent markers
OVERVIEW
Drawing is a form of visual expression and is one of the major forms within the visual arts. There are a number of subcategories of drawing, including cartooning. Certain drawing methods or approaches, such as “doodling” and other informal kinds of drawing such as drawing in the fog a shower leaves on a bathroom mirror, or the surrealist method of “entoptic graphomania“, in which dots are made at the sites of impurities in a blank sheet of paper, and lines are then made between the dots, may or may not be considered as part of “drawing” as a “fine art.”
The word ‘drawing’ is used as both a verb and a noun:
- Drawing (verb) is the act of making marks on a surface so as to create an image, form or shape.
- The produced image is also called a drawing (noun). A quick, unrefined drawing may be defined as a sketch.
In simplistic terms, drawing is distinct from painting, perhaps more so in the Western view; East Asian art, which generally only uses brushes, has historically made less distinction between the two. Critics may praise a painter’s ability to draw well, meaning that the shapes, especially of the human body, are well-articulated, or a drawing may be considered painterly.
Adding confusion, similar tools and media may be used in both tasks. Dry media normally associated with drawing, such as chalk, may be used in pastel painting. Drawing may be done with liquid media applied with brushes or pens. Similar supports likewise can serve both: painting generally involves the application of liquid paint onto prepared canvas or panels, but sometimes an underdrawing is drawn first on that same support. Drawing is generally concerned with the marking of lines and areas of tone onto paper, but watercolor painting uses a paper support. Traditional drawings were monochrome, or at least had little colour,[1] while modern coloured-pencil drawings may approach or cross the boundary (if there is one) between drawing and painting.
The term drawing suggests a process and intent that is distinct from the traditional act of painting. While there are drawings that are finished artworks, drawing is often exploratory, with considerable emphasis on observation, problem solving and composition, often as a means of preparation for a painting. In contrast, traditional painting is often a means of execution or finishing an artwork. It is fair to note that modern painters often incorporate methods of drawing in their painting process, particularly in the early stages of a painting.
Che’s quotes
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall.
I am not interested in dry economic socialism. We are fighting against misery, but we are also fighting against alienation
One has to grow hard but without ever losing tenderness.
I know you’ve come to kill me. Shoot, you are only going to kill a man.Variants : I know you are here to kill me. Shoot, coward, you are only going to kill a man.
I know you have come to kill me. Shoot, coward. You are only going to kill a man.
Know this now, you are killing a man.
When forces of oppression come to maintain themselves in power against established law, peace is considered already broken.
Justice remains the tool of a few powerful interests; legal interpretations will continue to be made to suit the convenience of the oppressor powers.
For us there is no valid definition of socialism other than the abolition of the exploitation of one human being by another.
Wealth is far from being within the reach of the masses simply through the process of appropriation.
The basic clay of our work is the youth; we place our hope in it and prepare it to take the banner from our hands.
Always toward Victory!
Until eternal victory!
Until the everlasting victory.
Ever onward until victory.
Until Victory Forever

Recreating The Creation
Friends,
Here’s my latest Inkscape work.
Michelangelo's "The Creation" - my work
The original work was created by Michelangelo, the Florentine sculptor and painter and architect. Here is the reference pic I got from the internet.
The Original Creation - Michelangelo
Recreating this masterpiece made me realise it’s actual value and how skilled he must have been…. Considering I had at my service computer technology, his effort must truly be appreciated..
CoOol to Hot
New Views of Our Sun
The fire in the sky is one of the first things humans tried to fathom about the natural world. That long line of investigation now enters a spectacular golden age.
4,500 degrees C (8000OF)
The coolest spot on the sun is the dark eye of a sunspot. Sunspots appear where bundles of magnetic field lines punch through the photosphere (the surface, 5700OC) and slow the rise of heat. Circled by flowing tendrils of gas, sunspots usually from in pairs; the largest seen here could swallow Earth. The Sweedish 1-meter Solar Telescope in the Canary Islands captures such images with unprecedented resolution, revealing details about sunspots as well as giant convention cells of gas constantly bubbling to the surface.
60,000 degrees C
Imagine walking away from a campfire, only to get hotter the farther you walk that’s how it is on the sun. Above the surface, the temperature begins to soar in a region called the chromosphere part of which is visible from Earth as a thin red band just before the height of a total eclipse. Now it can be constantly watched with the Solar and Heliospheric Observatory (SOHO), launched in 1995 by the European Space Agency and NASA. The satellite orbits around a fixed point a million miles from Earth. Its instruments include the Extreme-Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (EIT), which lets scientists study high-energy wavelengths of light that are blocked by Earth’s atmosphere.
1 million degrees C
Temperatures continue to climb in the sun’s outer atmosphere, the corona. SOHO uses a different filter on its EIT to record the more energetic end of the extreme-ultraviolet spectrum. Coronal heat likely comes from complex actions in magnetic field lines that rise above the surface (some are seen here in white). Each of the images at left is shown in false color; otherwise they would appear as the instruments record them, in varying shades of gray.
1 to 2 million degrees C
Changes in temperature caused by the interaction of the sun’s magnetic field and its electrified gases are studied with a satellite called TRACE, the Transition Region and Coronal Explorer. Orbiting Earth from Pole to Pole since 1998, it has an almost uninterrupted view of sun. Its telescope collects light in extreme-ultraviolet wavelengths, but five times the resolution of SOHO’s, allowing detailed views of magnetic structures such as loops. Explains one scientist: “It lets us see the trees instead of the forest.”
Over 2 million degrees C
The corona seethes in x-rays under the eye of the Japanese satellite Yohkoh, or “sun-beam”, which malfunctioned in 2001 after ten years of service. The sun itself is about halfway through its life expectancy of ten billion years. When the hydrogen fueling this celestial nuclear-fusion reactor runs out, the sun’s outer layers will expand to almost reach Earth. Shedding those layers, it will then shrink to a star the size of our planet.
Star Power
The sun’s core is a thermo-nuclear reactor, fusing hydrogen into helium. Because of the intense heat, these gases exit in an electrified state of matter called plasma. It takes hundreds of thousands of years for light to cross the dense interior to the convection zone, where plasma then bubbles to the surface the way water boils in a pot.
Where U stand
All power is within you;
You can do anything
and everything
Believe in that,
do not believe that you are weak
Stand up and express
the divinity within you…
- Swami Vivekananda
