~How to Make Better and Faster Art~ Many aspiring artists have a hard time with image composition, and so did I when I got started. However, there are some basic rules we can follow to help with the scene composition work, making it easier and faster. Keep in mind that these are general rules, and may not always apply to what you are trying to do. Although these are called "rules", it's Ok to break them once you get the hang of it. These rules were meant to speed up the composition work, making it not only easier, but also more effective. This is one I was making last night. I am a pinup artist, so... surprise, surprise - it's a pinup! :D These are the composition rules I have followed when making this image: * Structure: The main subject is composed in the shape of a triangle, which is often considered well-balanced, and cause a strong visual impact. * Color Contrast: I have used lighting to cause a strong contrast between the subject and the background.

Learning some psychology can help us in life, for it sheds some light on how people in general think. I often told people that if I haven’t graduated in computer science, I would instead had studied psychology. But since

For decades, there was a war raging the in US about immigrants allegedly taking people’s jobs. So much has it has become a political toy during elections. But all of the sudden, there is something else that has been effectively taking people’s jobs from behind the scenes - something we can’t see or touch: artificial intelligence (AI). This is not the first time when millions of people lost their jobs to technology. The invention of the steam machine had the same effect around 1760, starting the “Industrial Revolution”, which has created masses of unemployed people. The natural thing to do would be to seek for jobs in other areas, but not everyone is capable of doing so, be it for lack of abilities, or insufficient educational level. A PBS documentary has revealed that part of the UK population has become poor since then, and haven’t recovered to this day, due to the reduction in positions for manual labor. Those jobs are increasingly becoming automated. Canadian clinical
