Creating a Digital Pen for Lettering Projects

by Domestika @domestika

Sindy Ethel explains how to create a digital pen to work on Photoshop as you would with regular pens

Using an ordinary Photoshop brush for your lettering projects can be the right tool to create neon, monoline, or other effects with few variations in the stroke. However, Sindy Ethel (@sindyethel) explains how to create a digital pen for lettering projects on Adobe Photoshop, that much more suitable for those occasions when we are looking for a more organic and similar effect to the one we could achieve with drawing and writing tools such as fountain pens or bird feathers.

10 artists who explored the dark (and turned fear into art)

The Art of Darkness: Ten Artists Who Transformed Fear into Their Muse and Created Unforgettable Works. 10 artists who turned fear into art. Art is not only born from beauty or harmony. It also arises from the fear, anguish and darkness that inhabit the human interior. Throughout history, many artists have found in these intense emotions a source of creative energy, transforming the disturbing into works that move, disturb and fascinate at the same time. Far from fleeing from the shadow, these creators confronted it in order to understand and shape it. This article traces the work of ten artists who made fear their muse, demonstrating that the dark, when turned into art, can be one of the purest forms of truth and beauty. Art as a reflection of fear. From cave paintings to contemporary installations, fear has accompanied humanity as a mirror of its vulnerability. Representing the sinister has not only served to exorcise fears, but also to explore them and give them meaning. The dark in art does not always provoke rejection; it also arouses curiosity, empathy and fascination.. When looking at the horror, pain or anguish reflected in a work, the viewer is confronted with his or her own limits. Thus, darkness becomes a tool to connect with the deepest part of the human being.
