Distinctly Different Pinups

Here are a few really fantastic artists. I would call them pin-up artists simply because they use the female figure for their work, but they really go further in their style as to create such interesting concepts.

How to Draw a Chrysanthemum

I was having a hard time finding a good tutorial on drawing a chrysanthemum, so I have put one together myself. Enjoy!



By Mandy J W


  1. Sketch the basic shape and direction of the flower using circles as a guide. 
  2. Draw petals wrapping around the second largest circle. 
  3. Draw petals towards the center. 
  4. Erase the second outermost circle. 
  5. Continue to draw petals until they meet at the center. 
  6. Using the remaining circle as reference, loosely sketch in some petals. 
  7. Sketch in some more petals behind the previous ones. 
  8. Erase any conflicting lines. 
  9. Shade the under sides of the petals for more depth.

PERSONAL WORK | Indie

Indie is a green Indian Ringneck Parakeet I adopted and raised from a young chick until she was fully weened. I managed to get a photograph of her just nodding off in front of Nemo.
