I had seen Marcos Oliveira's Scientific Illustration about a year ago in a feature by behance called : illustrationserved. I was impressed by his subtle and soft colors and seeing him working on location with his sketchbook and watercolors. I had thought about sharing his work through the blog post. I bookmarked the site and forgot about it.(this is a habit, I keep bookmarking a lot of stuff but hardly go back to see my bookmarked list) any way here I am writing about it. good things always, stick some where at your back of mind. I wanted know more about Marcos Oliveira and googled for it. The first thing which appears in the search is a professional mixed martial artist from Brazil of the same name.

facebook wall postings are always full of surprises. apart from daily updates of pets, birthdays and show off pics you get see to some anonymous postings which somebody liked from your friends list. topics of these posts can be very different. here, I am just going to talk about the post which are related to spirituality and have very intriguing visual to support it. this one talks about how your palm has point (buttons) to different body parts. if you press these points (acupuncture) 3-5 seconds it helps or soothes the situation.  this illustration is about 7 centres of energy within the human body termed as kundalini.

Recently, I came across a blog about Character Design which showcases interviews and galleries from the top artists in Animation, Movies, Games, Illustration and comics. It is great that people are writing on blogs on such relevant topics and that to be without a commercial benifit. usually, such insightful article and interviews are truned into books and sold at a price which ristrict the knowledge to a perticular group. keepup the good work!

If you happen to be a character designer and want to show off your talent then you can send your portfolio for review and become a featured artist.
