Faces of Imagination: A Showcase of Inspiring Digital Portraits


  

As the never ending quest for inspiration pours on, we have taken our search for creative works back into the area of digital art. This time around we have found some wonderful pieces that were drawn by a range of very talented artists. Though this showcase is a collection of digital portraits, so it is a little different than some of those we have brought you in the past.

Portrait photography is often a popular medium because it gives you the chance to get up close and personal with the subject and really capture the subtle expressions and delicate features that distance can often erase. So this showcase of digital drawings have attempted to impart some of those same elements that make have made portraits a standard for generations. Take a look and see if inspiration follows.

Send in the Toons: Collection of Creative Cartoons


  

For most of us whether it was the Saturday morning programming, the Sunday morning comic strips, more, or all of the above cartoons have been a major part of our adolescent and adult lives. For whatever reason, we seem to be drawn to the often exaggerated drawings of cartoonist’s pens. Be they digital or analog, classic or modern their cartoons call to us. Connect us to other times and places. And of course, they inspire us.

That is what brings us here today. We have sought out a collection of creative cartoons that touch across a range of styles and feels to inspire Noupe’s readers. So whether your tastes tend towards the retro fashions of tooning’s yesteryear, or the more edgey stylings of more modern artists; character studies and creation, or the illustrated landscapes and scenes inspiration awaits.

Flashes in the Dark: Low light Photography


  

Photographers put a lot of focus and emphasis on the lighting for their pictures. After all, lighting is a powerful instrument in setting the overall tone and feel of the piece. Even when there is very little light to work with. In fact, it is in these situations that the lighting can create extremely emotive and distinctive compositions for the pics.

Giving the shadows so much reign to run freely, carving interesting depths and crevaces into the pieces. This can also prove very tricky for photographers as some equipment does not work as well under these conditions, and cannot take sharp, clear photos without enough lighting. Though in some cases, as we can see in a select few below, this can also give the images more tone and texture that fits well with that particular composition.

Below is a brand new showcase of low light photography to help get our readers inspired. Enjoy!
