The Z list of drawing and illustration
Posted in Design, Illustration, Websites by Armando Alves on January 5, 2007In the last 5 years most of the illustrations i needed were made directly on the computer. So I gradually abandoned one of my favourit hobbies: drawing.
But in today’s networked culture, it’s easy to get in touch with the latest works and brush your drawing skills. Following one of the latest blogosphere memes, here’s my Z-list of drawing and illustration on the web:
-
Amateur Illustrator great galleries from tons of artists, and with lots of activities in the forums
-
Art Backwash Lots of doodles, illustrations and paintings.
-

Hi Armando,
Great Z-List idea! Any news of your list since you launched it?
Regards. Luc.
I wasn’t expecting any feedback on the list. I guess the main purpose i find in a Z-list is to promote some blogs people haven’t heard about. And no, I’m not trying to promote myself :) or others i know, or i’ll end up like those folks who cannibalize squido lenses and technorati rankings :).
Then again, maybe tomorrow i’ll forward to the few illustrators i know of, and the word spreads around.
