When touchscreen smartphones and tablets were invented, the first thought that we as artists had was probably, "How can I draw with this?"
In this class, I am excited to share with you my tips and techniques for drawing and painting in Procreate, an app that I have been using exclusively for my work since 2012. The days of Procreate being "that iPad drawing app" are over. The Procreate that we know today is a powerful drawing program that happens to be mobile.
I will teach you how to draw, paint, and sketch in Procreate, make amazing custom brushes, and animate! With this class, I hope to make one of my favorite programs more accessible to a new generation of users!

Nikolai Chernyshevskii and Ayn Rand Russian Nihilism Travels to America


Free Download Aaron Weinacht professor of history, "Nikolai Chernyshevskii and Ayn Rand: Russian Nihilism Travels to America "
English | ISBN: 1793634777 | 2021 | 182 pages | EPUB | 675 KB
Nikolai Chernyshevskii and Ayn Rand: Russian Nihilism Travels to America argues that the core commitments of the nihilist movement of the 1860’s made their way to 20th century America via the thought of Ayn Rand. While mid-nineteenth-century Russian nihilism has generally been seen as part of a radical tradition that culminated in the Bolshevik Revolution of 1917, the author argues that nihilism’s intellectual trajectory was in fact quite different. Analysis of such sources as Nikolai Chernyshevskii’s What is to Be Done? (1863) and Ayn Rand’s Atlas Shrugged (1957), archival research in Rand’s papers, and broad attention to late-nineteenth century Russian intellectual history all lead the author to conclude that nihilism’s legacy is deeply implicated in one of America’s most widely-read philosophers of capitalism and libertarian freedom.

The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol [Audiobook]


Free Download The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol (Audiobook)
English | December 22, 2021 | ASIN: B09P1WFXJD | M4B@128 kbps | 17h 37m | 962 MB
Author: Nikolai Gogol | Narrator: Peter Batchelor
Using, or rather mimicking, traditional forms of storytelling, Gogol created stories that are complete within themselves and only tangentially connected to a meaning or moral. His work belongs to the school of invention, where each twist and turn of the narrative is a surprise unfettered by obligation to an overarching theme.
Selected from Evenings on a Farm Near Dikanka, Mirgorod, and Petersburg Tales and arranged in order of composition, the 13 stories in The Collected Tales of Nikolai Gogol encompass the breadth of Gogol’s literary achievement. From the demon-haunted "St. John’s Eve" to the heartrending humiliations and trials of a titular councilor in "The Overcoat", Gogol’s knack for turning literary conventions on their heads, combined with his overt joy in the art of storytelling, shines through in each of the tales.
