So, how about you - what are your favorite art blogs? 

This week I found some lovely resources - 101 Projects for Artists and Illustrators by Dani Jones, No Time To Waste - a website that calculates how many weeks of your life you have spent and shows how that looks in perspective in 100 years, useful tips about working at home in order not to procrastinate, great video series for figure sketching, and a cute comic under the video link by MooseCleenex.
For this weeks video, click here - www.dailymotion.com/video/xx5d… - couldn't find a decent quality video anywhere else - a short & one of my all time favorite animation.



P.S. I quite frequently post some sketches and artworks in my art tumblr - snowmarite.tumblr.com/ . and I have a weekly Music Sunday post on aerismade.blogspot.cm/   and weekly 8 songs playlist.
and a youtube art channel .  

(and I make livestreams on my younow channel) 
and I have a  society6 store , nuvango store and  etsy store too 

Have a wonderful week!
