If you like tattoo art, you’ll love Shawn Barber. As his website states: “Shawn Barber’s body of work focuses primarily on painting, portraiture and documenting contemporary tattoo culture.” Barber’s many paintings focus on artists, specifically artists with tattoos.

Today I’ll be reviewing Christopher Sia’s “Realistic Pencil Portrait Mastery”, a home-study course that will teach you how to draw realistic portraits. Now let me begin by saying that I care very little for so-called “pitch sites,” the online version of OxyClean infomercials. They all…
