Drawing Exercises

What's the best place to find free online painting and drawing lessons? Hi all. First time asking a question here. I'm looking for a good website that has lessons and exercises for improving drawing and painting skills. Would be cool if it was more professional as I'm not interested in just painting cats, or landscapes.

different or new drawing exercises and fun things to do? i like sketching and drawing (as well as painting ect) but i was trying to think of some new things to do just to change it up a little.. like a collage, drawing with different colored pens, drawing on a different surface like sheet music or an old recipe card, maybe focussing on sketching one thing like eyes or hands.. just different ideas like that that wont be serious art work, just something different to do that is still art. (preferably pencil or pen work) thanks

How can I address my spiritual side? I don't subscribe to any organised religion as I believe they were man made, I'm not sure if I believe in a God but i feel a plethora of spiritual energy inside (i'm not going to sell-out). I'm currently trying to vent it through exercise, love, painting, drawing and writing. What other interesting ways could I explore this side of myself? I've also tried meditation which does help but I have to be in the right mood.

Guys what would you think of my profile interests? If you saw a girls profile and her interests/hobbies were: makeup, high heels, my long hair, diet, exercise, drawing, painting Those really are my interests. What would you think? Please be honest and I don't care if you're mean as long as you're honest. Thanks for the advice/tips.

Practice and exercises? I am 16 and I am am really into art, but , i am still a beginner. I draw and paint. What are some exercises or somthing that i could do to help improve with my art?

I need to know what to do with 2yr old and toddlers? Well I work at a daycare and I just started I am trying to find games that interact with the kids, can anyone help me? I have centers and all along the walls we have colors ,shapes and animals. Most two yr olds have a attention span of 10mins,and I have quickly ran out of ideas. a list of other thing I do is dance,music,exercise,sing,paint,drawing,coloring, and they go outside. also we read a lot. any help would be appreciated.

I'm bored, need something to do, BUT....? I'm 16. No car, can't drive. I have an eating disorder. I am bored to tears right now and I'm severely depressed. My parents are financially tight. I have no friends to hang out with. I live in a suburban town where there are only strip malls. I need something to do, but nothing is fun. I hate reading, writing, drawing, painting, gardening, exercising etc. I can't go anywhere b/c I can't drive and have an eating disorder. I can't get a job or volunteer anywhere. I need something to do! Help with reasonable suggestions.

I can't seem to find a hobby? I've tried almosteverything: ainging, acting, drawing, painting, gardening, exercising, graphics design, sewing, and more. But, if I'm not really bad at it then it bores me or doesn't intrest me at all. My suster loves to quilt (I know, kinda weird, right?), and my brother loves running, weightlifting, rocketry, biology, and electrical engineering. (total over-acheiver) so how can I find/develope a hobby? I need SOMETHING to do! sister, not suster =) oh, and I've tried scrapbooking. can't forget that. oh, AND I've tried reading, writing, and cooking. cooking lasted a while... until I started to get really bored with it. Oh, and I'm only 14. Really narrows things down, eh? geez, what is this, like the 90 millionth edit I've done?

I am having a mental blcok, any suggestions on how to get the ideas flowing? I havent been able to paint or draw anything in months...I am having a severe block. Any ideas or exercises that anyone can suggest to help me find my creativity again? Also, when I start a painting or picture, I get so impatient and always want to finish it the same day.

Ha- this is totally in the wrong catagory. Whoops. I reposted it in the right one though. Thanks!!

Drawing advice please? What are some exercises I can do to build hand dexterity? I'm a complete beginner :[ I plan to only learn now to draw with pencil. That painting stuff is totally beyond me. thanks!

Are some people just better at learning languages than others?!? Kind of a silly question, but I've been in Japan for 10 years and my Japanese just sucks (!) What's worse, Japanese really seem to enjoy reminding me of this :( I seem to do much better with drawing, painting and other forms on non-verbal communication, which makes me wonder if certain parts of my brain are just not being used in order to learn another language. If that's the case, then please give me some tips on how to exercise my brain so I can see some progress!! *sigh*...

THE CPT: Really, is the real cure to depressing, finding hobbies that occupy your mind from self-pity? sure, everyone coudl get depressed, but if you write, draw, paint, play music, run, exercise, etc, you might find yourself forgetting about your self-pity and need for unnecessary medication, yes?

Fluent Spanish/English speakers!? Twelve activities I usually do on a daily basis is cook, clean, school, walk, brush my teeth, shower, paint, read, write, exercise, draw and talk to my friends. I clean every other day, because my room and dishes stay clean for a while. I brush my teeth, shower, exercise, write and talk to my friends daily. I paint, read and draw almost everyday but sometimes I have to skip a day because of school. I do almost all of my activities at home; the only thing I don't do at home is exercise I go to the gym and sometimes I go out when I talk to my friends. I do most of these things to stay healthy, educated and sane. Can someone translate this paragraph so I can send this letter to my cousin in Mexico? please and thank you.

Is this a turn off for guys? I am not very sporty, I am fit(becuase I exercise daily). But I do not like playing football, volleyball, soccer, basketball or baseball. I hate them. I do love swimming and running though(for fun). I am the quiet, sweet, tiny, artistic girl. I love art! (poetry, painting, drawing, songs, acting.) I am not preppy or really girly. I am smart. :P So..guys...turn off? Or good turn on?

Things to do alone early in the morning? I'm getting in the habit of getting up at 5 am because that's the time I have to awaken when school starts this fall. I'm doing pretty well with it, the only problem is, it's terribly boring. See, getting up at 5 am means that I'm the earliest one awake. My mom doesn't usually get up until 9 am, meaning I have a good four hours to kill. I've tried several things (drawing, painting, watching the sunrise, listening to music, cleaning my room, exercising, watching tv, etc.) but the problem is that I quickly exhaust these sources of entertainment. When I get through all of that, it feels like half the day has passed but in reality it's only been a couple hours. What i need is ideas about things I could do in the remaining time, preferably something that's not very noisy (I have a beagle that's easily disturbed and loves to howl) because I don't want to wake anyone, including my cainine alarm. I also don't think anyone would like it very much if I were to turn any lights (other than the lights in my room) on. I can't leave the house, and I can't go on the computer. Ideas?

Lost Artist, help required...? I trained at college for 4yrs in fine art, specifically life drawing and painting. I was actually doing really well for a long time. However, for the past 4yrs I've been working a dead end office job and my art has fallen behind as a result. I haven't painted or even drawn for over 3years now and just cant seem to get anything done when I try to. Every time I get my sketch pad out my hand goes dead and my talent leaves me with a blank page or just some very useless doodles. Does anyone know of any techniques or exercises that will help me get back into the swing of things? Or do I simply need to give myself a good kick up the butt, stop moaning and just get creating! lol Any help... suggestions... most welcome! (" ,)

Does anybody have any advice for a (struggling) beginner singer? I have had a passion for music and singing my whole life. Growing up, I have always had artistic talents (drawing and painting etc.) and I actually am pretty adept to writing and expressing myself in general. A cousin of mine has always had a tremendous, Celine Dion like voice, that just took the spotlight in my family my whole life. So... I let her be the singer in my family, and me be the artist.... but singing makes me happier than anything. Im not a bad singer, I am actually okay but I dont sound "professional." Im a work in progress and I have been doing my own vocal training, and exercises for as long as Ive been able to sing. I am at a point now where I really want to "get my chops up" and gain the confidence to perform, and I am looking for any guidance, or tips. I struggle with confidence, especially because I have not allowed many people to hear me sing. Help!!

can talent just be.. lost? I normally classify myself as artistic. I love to draw and paint, and I'm fairly good. Art has and always been my best subject. Im 16 right now, and about six months ago I hit a block. I didn't know what to draw anymore. So I basically stopped drawing. Now I want to start again but I feel its not even the same. Are there any exercises I should practice so I can get back in the groove again? HA. I can assure you it's not because of a puberty thing. That happened a long time ago.

Lifestyle, potential small-time model in future? I am a 17 year old art student, doing the best in my class. I enjoy Drawing, painting, making things and cooking. I am half Chinese, a quarter Swedish and English, small 5"1 and overweight (says wiifit) but i do have a chubby body. Iv always wondered what it would be like to be a small-time model, as an extra aspect of my artistic life, i could never at the moment because of my un-perfect body, but does anyone think that i could have potential in the future? I dont overeat and i cook healthy meals for the family, i have more troubles burning off my past eating mistakes at the moment. I dont enjoy exercise, and am not willing to go on any form of diet, however i seem to be slimming as the years past bye, i dont eat any sweets for joy which helps.

I've got 2 hours to kill, what should I do? It's almost 2pm and just after 4pm I have to pick up the boys from school. What should I do for the next two hours? I could... - play guitar - read my book (almost finish) - stare at the ceiling - draw/paint - waste time on my computer - tidy the house - sit in the sun (however that will irritate my allergies) - do some form of exercise - sleep ...or something completely different that's not on the list... any suggestions?

What are your hobbies/interests? My Interests: Art (Art history, design, techniques, etc.) Music (mostly "old school", some new, classical, music history) Cats (all animals in general) Botany (plants, flowers) Philosophy Psychology Sociology Astrology D.I.Y. projects (woodworking, crafts, etc. etc.) Fashion Interior decorating Health My hobbies: Art (projects, painting, drawing) Beading, jewellery making Gardening Crafts Cat breeding Cooking Reading Writing Designing/Interior decorating/renovating Exercise/fitness/working out Yahoo Answers! Surfing the net What do you do in your spare time? Thanks!

How much exercise should I be having, and how much should I be eating? Ok, if you don't want to read all of this, just read the big about my age and weight answer the question at the top plz. If you have time, read it. I'm 13 and 68kg, 162cm. This puts me into the "at risk of being overweight" section. I go to see the doctor regularly in hospital for problems which aren't related to this and he's never mentioned my weight, but I still worry. Things always say you should exercise 60mins a day, is that like an hour of swimming? Or can it just be moving around throughout the day added together? At the moment I walk 10 mins to school (usually verrry quickly because I'm late) and 10 mins back every day. And I do two 45min very intense swimming sessions a week. I could do a few workout sessions before school, which is what I did for a while. But not everyday, only two or three a week. (purely because I'm so busy, I do 7 hours music practise a week, 10 hours of drama rehearsals a week and 5 hours of painting/drawing a week, plus homework which usually adds up to at least an hour per night) And also what should I be eating? At the moment my average diet is breakfast- bowl of cereal, lunch- wholemeal sandwich, dinner spagetti bolagnaise and snacks two pieces of fruit. Most of my friends have huge lunches and never exercise, they have crisps, chocolate, white bread, pizza, cake. If I drink more water can it actually help me be slimmer? I know it's healthier, but does it make you fatter if you're dehydrated. Usually I only drink one or two glasses of liquid a day. Basically, if you're going "AHHH, SHE'S SO UNHEALTHY!" Then can you draw me up a healthy plan which I can stick to.

Oops i did it ..--->school problem? if you had paint one obscene drawing in a exercise book and forgot this exercise book in school and schoolteachers have seen it what would you do tomorrow in school? yes i did it and im scared the hell!

I need a hobby, any ideas? Tried playing musical instruments (guitar and trumpet), not for me. Video games, not for me. Sports, not for me. Sculpting, painting, drawing, writing, cooking, not for me. I read but after like an hour a day I get tired of it, so I still have many more hours in the day to fill. I do eat well and I do exercise daily. I have a job, I'm in school and study as much as I need to. I hang out with friends on the weekends, have movie nights, etc. and that's all fun. But I can't do that everyday now, and especially not once I'm out of college, so I need something I can do at home, alone, and daily, to just keep my mind busy - I'm starting to get a little depressed.

Should I be an artist? I'm 13 years old and I love art. I am really good at painting, drawing, photography, clay sculpters, graphic arts, web page design and more. I really love art and it is fun and it makes me happy. But at the same time, I want to be a basketball player. I have been training and playing since I was 6 and I think basketball is fun. I like to exercise and everything, but I think art is more fun. My parents have spent a lot of money for me to play basketball, and they want me to play in college and the WNBA. But I don't know if I want to. I want to go to art school for college. But I could get a basketball scholarship to a university if I keep training. I really want to be an artist in japan. And travel all over. But I think my parents would be disapointed in me, and I would get fat and out of shape :( What should I do? What would you do? How much does an artist get paid compared to a basketball player? Please help me!

Must my toddler really play outside ALL day? My mother told me today that I'm a bad mom and my son should be outside the whole day - to exercise his muscles... basically only coming inside for naps and food. I told her I can't sit with him outside all day - things have to get done inside too, but I make a point of taking him to play outside for at least 2 - 3 hours every day. She told me, I can't keep going outside with him and staying with him - he has to learn how to play by himself when he's outside! He's only 19 months old! It doesn't seem right that he should be outside by himself... and in the front yard no less, where he can get out into the streets, or be taken out and get hurt. He can't play out back by himself, because we have a pool and two big dogs. The dogs are gentle, but dogs can still get angry for no reason and start biting! I didn't think I was doing anything wrong. Apart from today (we were lazy), we are usually up bright and early, eat breakfast together, draw, paint, dance, read, etc. When we're inside, 80% of the time he likes to play by himself anyway - so it's not like he's with me ALL the time... I just don't think it's safe to let him play outside all by himself. What if someone snatches him from my front yard because I couldn't be bothered to go outside with him? Because these things turn into issues (my mom never lets anything go), I want to know if you think I'm right. Does he have to be outside all day in the first place? Should he spend more time outside? And should he be by himself when he is outside? Maybe when he's older... but I think he's still too small to go outside by himself. lol Dian... the only reason he's outside that much is because I like being outside. I usually putter around in the garden, while he plays with his ball and brings me flowers (we live in a warm climate). Until about 3 months ago, we'd be outside for an hour tops.. Don't trickle...: Why yes, my mom says I did play outside, all by myself all day long when I was that age. She means well, she's just forgotten that when I was a child, life wasn't quite as dangerous as it is now.

What does each sign do on the weekends? These are my guesses- (please don't get offended) Taurus- eating out, gambling, stay at home and relaxing (if you have no one to hang out with) Aquarius- making youtube videos, drawing, sleeping, doing stuff on computers, laughing Scorpio- Having sex, partying, getting drunk Sags- going places, playing an outdoor sport, partying Virgo- studying, walking to places, exercising, cleaning Libra- painting, shopping, decorating something, riding horses (not in a bad way lol) Gemini- talking, talking, talking, running to places lol Cancer- watching old movies, making up a new recipe, nurturing people Leo- going to bars, making someone feel good I don't know about the rest... But what do you think all of the signs do on weekends?

I've Got Thin Legs, but....? Okay, mostly thin legs, But the very top part of my thighs are not. How can I fix this?? I've tried squats and running, and almost every other exercise that's supposed to help for your thighs, but it hasn't worked. I wasn't sure how to explain it, so I made a drawing on paint. And I know it sucks, don't comment on that, LOL. It's exaggerated, but you get the idea. http://s304.photobucket.com/albums/nn189/_scene_queen/?action=view&current=knewws.jpg Thanks in advance.

Are these characers interesting? I know that the biggest thing for a story is to have interesting characters.

I have been single for a few months. What can i do to be more attractive? What do (14-15) year old guys want? I'm smart, i exercise, i draw, play sports, party with friends, i love to go shopping, i cook and bake, i paint, love listening to music, like going to the movies, i pretty much like to do anything. I have tons of friends from my previous schools. I have a good body, and very healthy. I'm thin, i'm not very short, no acne, or pimples, brownish black hair, im fun to be with, sometimes i can be a bitch, but that's only when im pms-ing. It's not like im lesbian. Or bi. And i've had boyfriends before at my previous schools. But my new school seems to be harder to get used to. I have like a million crushes. one or two for each school period. and im very outgoing, and crazy. but NO, i have no boyfriend. DO i have a problem???? seriously i need help. LIKE NOWWWWW... cause i still have half the year of school to go, and its boring not having a boyfriend that i actually like. =[

How do you deal with your anger and aggression? I sometimes get a build up of anger and aggression inside - i never act on it and rarely tend to let it out, especially around other people. This sometimes turns into paranoia, feeling low, feeling sorry for myself. I'm not particularly into exercise as I work in retail and spend all day on my feet so the last thing I want to do at the end of a long day is go for a jog or ride a bike. I do like music but am not interested in writing songs. I don't like to paint or draw. I'm not into poetry....(these all things that have been suggested to me at one point or another) Can anyone tell me how they deal with their anger, aggression and general low-ness?

Are these funny?I got them off of bored.com! Lol? I found these from bored .com,Do you think their funny?There are alot more then this there more elevator ones and theirs how to annoy a cop and a WHOLE bunch more! Annoying People in an Elevator From Bored.com Act like a dog, growl at people. Announce in a demonic voice: “I must find a more suitable host body.” Apply dripping red paint around the edge of the roof hatch. When someone enters, look upwards and whisper "I think they want in..." Ask each passenger getting on if you can push the button for them. Press the wrong ones. Ask everyone what they made for their side dish. Ask someone to take your temperature, then turn around and bend over. Ask, “did you hear that cable snapping sound?” Attempt to hypnotize the other passengers. Bet the other passengers you can fit a quarter in your nose. Blow spit balls at the ceiling. Blow your nose and offer to show the contents of your Kleenex to other passengers. Blow your nose on your sleeve. Bring a camera, take pictures of everybody in the elevator. Bring a chair along. Bring easy math flash cards on the elevator and ask the person next to you to help you study them (get them wrong). Burp, and then say “mmmm...tasty!” Call out, “Group hug!” and enforce it. Call the psychic hotline from you cell phone, and ask if they know what floor you’re on. Carry a blanket and clutch it protectively. Challenge people to games of hide-and-seek. Clutch your stomach and gasp. Collapse on the floor when the elevator goes up, then get up and look embarrassed. Collect an elevator tax. Count down from 100,000 out loud. Crack open your briefcase or purse, and while peering inside ask: “Got enough air in there?” Do Tai Chi exercises. Draw a little square on the floor with chalk and announce to the other passengers that this is your “personal space.” Draw a volleyball on the wall of the elevator and insist you have been trapped in there for 3 months. Formally introduce everyone to the volleyball! Dress as a clergy member of the opposite sex. Drop a pen and wait until someone reaches to help pick it up, then scream, “That’s mine!” Eat jello through a straw. Frown and mutter "gotta go, gotta go" then sigh and say "oops!" Give each passenger a round of applause as they enter or leave. Give each passenger a ticket and remind them that door prize drawing is in half an hour. Give people lectures about the periodic table of elements Give religious tracts to each passenger. Go into extreme detail explaining how you were trapped in an elevator once for two days. Greet everyone getting on the elevator with a warm handshake and ask them to call you Admiral. Greet everyone with a smile and a handshake, then ignore them. Grimace painfully while smacking your forehead and muttering: "Shut up, dammit, all of you just shut UP!" Guard the button panel so no one can touch it. Growl and bite at anyone’s fingers who attept to cross you. Have a picnic in the elevator. Have a seizure. Hold the elevator door open and say you’re waiting for your friend. After a while, let the doors close and say, “Hi John, how’s your day been?” Holler “Chutes away!” whenever the elevator descends. Hug yourself. Hum the theme from Mission Impossible with yours eyes darting around the elevator. Hum the theme to Jeopardy If anyone brushes against you, recoil and holler, "Bad touch!" If anyone brushes against you, whisper to them "was it good for you too?" Introduce yourself as Ochenga-Wangaa The great chief and begin telling stories of your native island. Jump up when the elevator reaches a stop. Lay down a Twister mat and ask people if they want to play. Lean against the button panel. Lean over to another passenger and whisper: “Noogie patrol coming!” Leave a box between the doors. Leave a box in a corner, and when someone gets on, ask if they hear something ticking. Lick gummy bears and stick them to things (the walls, the buttons, the passengers, etc.) Listen to the elevator walls with a stethoscope. Make explosion noises when anyone presses a button. Make farm noises. Make race car noises when anyone gets on or off. Make sure the emergency phone is working. Meow occasionally. Move your desk in to the elevator, and whenever someone gets on, ask if they have an appointment. Mumble autistically about the possibilities of elevator accidents. Offer a bite of your fresh tangerine to everyone coming on board. Offer hitman services. Offer name tags to everyone getting on the elevator. Wear yours upside-down. On a long ride, sway side to side at the natural frequency of the elevator. On the highest floor, hold the door open and demand that it stay open until you hear the penny you dropped down the shaft go “plink” at the bottom. Open a lemonade stand. Perform the Hamlet soliloquy. When a new passenger enters, start over again. Pick your nose. Place police tape (CRIME SCENE DO NOT CROSS) on the inside of

Did you notice no Christians rioted over this "Jesus " cartoon.? Article from The Roanoke Times http://www.roanoke.com/news/roanoke/wb/54305 Cartoons depict Jesus, cause stir at Radford University University officials will meet with students to discuss balancing free speech and good taste. Cartoons depicting Jesus in a Radford University online student magazine have created controversy just weeks after Danish cartoons of the prophet Muhammad touched off violent protests throughout the Muslim world. In his "Christ on Campus" comic strip, sophomore Christian Keesee has satirized the hypocrisy of some churchgoing students, the greed of some televangelists and the commercialization of Christmas, among other things, in 12 cartoons he's published on Radford's Whim Internet Magazine. He's made his points with images of a cartoon Jesus being stabbed by Santa Claus, playing poker with other religious figures (including Muhammad), punching a heckler who referred to him as a "glorified Easter bunny" and wondering if he has the requisite male body part during a sexual encounter with a woman. Those depictions have sparked anger among many students, both Christians and non-Christians, and concern among administrators. In a statement Friday, Vice President for Student Affairs Norleen Pomerantz said a meeting between student affairs and student media about how to balance First Amendment rights while maintaining good taste will be held sometime next week. The magazine is affiliated with the university and funded through student fees. But the university exercises no editorial control over it. "Radford University respects the First Amendment rights of university students to engage in expressive activities through student-controlled media," part of the statement reads. "However, the student affairs division of the university ... encourages these students to consider the tastes and sensibilities of others. ... Some of the cartoons published by Whim fall short of these standards." Keesee said it's a given that some people are going to be offended when you publish a cartoon with Jesus as a main character "if it's not from the Bible or it's not from a Sunday school handout." Putting Jesus in the role of a modern human being is absurd, and that's part of the point, he said. "I could draw Jesus and put in a Bible Scripture at the bottom with the point I'm trying to make and that wouldn't be interesting," he said. "Everything about religion doesn't have to be so cut and dry and plain." Keesee said he was unaware of the Muhammad cartoons when he started "Christ on Campus" in October. He came up with the idea while talking with his roommate. Like the Muhammad cartoons, which were first printed in September, his strip gained attention months after first being published. Two months after the cartoon's debut, a Radford student started a group on Facebook -- a popular online student networking site -- for critics of the cartoon. Radford freshman Blake Fought, a former member of the Whim staff, started the Facebook group. He said he understands the point Keesee is trying to make in many of his cartoons, but the artist is offending people while doing it and misrepresenting Jesus Christ. "While there's good intentions, they're coming out the wrong way. It's sick humor," Fought said. "The question here is the method." A message board that allows people to comment on each cartoon and have a dialogue with Keesee is running mostly in favor of his humor. Keesee and Whim Executive Director Andrew Lent said faculty feedback on the cartoon has been positive. But a handful of students, not all of them Christians, have voiced their displeasure with some of the things the cartoon Jesus does, such as punching a doubter in the face. "That's not the Jesus I know and that's not the way Jesus was," said Fought, a member of First Baptist Church in Blacksburg. Keesee said he had no idea the cartoon would make people so angry and is a little uncomfortable with some of the anger directed at it. But he has no plans to stop drawing it. Fought, sports editor of Radford's student newspaper, would like to see the cartoon stopped or at least vetted by a third party before being published to keep the rancor on campus from turning ugly. He said he understands the freedom of speech issue, but said a line needs to be drawn, especially when the media lampoons something as personal to people as religion. "I don't like the ones about Muhammad either," he said. Fought added that it's hypocritical of the magazine to categorize the cartoon as a free speech issue when he was fired from Whim after starting the Facebook group. Lent said Fought was let go because of three behavioral issues, the last one being the Facebook group. When Lent saw some of the language of the group talking about taking the cartoon down, he felt it best that they should go their separate ways. Lent said most of the cartoons are pro-Christian, such as one where two students are moving into their dorm. They decide not to help Jesus because "he's only carrying one thing." The next cartoon shows an exhausted Jesus carrying the cross. "Yeah, just one thing, but he's carrying the weight of the world there, and no one is helping him," he said. Likewise, the cartoon of Santa Claus chasing and stabbing Jesus is a commentary on commercialization taking over the religious holiday. One cartoon, a parody of the famous painting of dogs playing poker, is an equal opportunity offender. It shows leaders of four religious groups (Muhammad, Buddha, Jesus and Vishnu) playing poker with the devil in a battle for souls. Keesee, who is from Salem, considers himself a Christian. Though he admits he's not a regular churchgoer, his parents are. "My mom and dad, they look at it every week," he said. "They see some of the points I'm trying to make. They're very supportive." Brian Erskine, chairman of Radford University's College Republicans, writes a column for Whim. While he said he would "fight tooth and nail" for Keesee's right to publish his cartoon, he describes it as crude. "I don't understand how someone who claims to be a Christian ... could do something like this," he said. "Do I think that Christian needs a lesson in morality? You better believe it." Keesee has no problem with the criticism, but thinks people who get angry because his cartoon Jesus does things their Jesus wouldn't do are missing the point. "I just want to tell them to lighten up," he said. "Most times, there's a point to it."

Why are constellations depicted differently depending on the source? So I have been searching for a little over a month now for any image I can find of the constellation Virgo-I'm talking from super simple Microsoft Paint images to extravagantly drawn depictions of the character represented by the stars, to shots from telescopes. The reason, is that they all look different; they all have a different number of stars and slightly different arrangement. I mean, I knew that originally, back in the day, this was a subjective exercise, but I thought that there would be, after all these years, maybe a generally accepted notion of what each one would look like. Is there one source I should trust over all others? And, more importantly, why are they all different?
