How to Draw Characters

Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and Hypnotherapy are very closely related and could be considered to come from the same ‘family’ of therapeutic approaches. In fact, if you are considering having hypnotherapy and are currently searching for a therapist, you will probably find that many hypnotherapists now-days, practice NLP to some level and conversely that most NLP practitioners who have completed certified training courses, will also be familiar with using hypnotic techniques during therapy sessions.

How are these therapies similar?

Hypnotherapy utilises hypnotic techniques in order to bring about therapeutic change. Hypnotherapy enables a person to solve personal problems by bringing about a deeply relaxing state of mind. When the person is deeply relaxed this allows the unconscious part of the mind to use its resources to find solutions. It also allows the person to focus their attention completely on the therapists voice in order to follow the positive suggestions and guidance the therapist is making. In hypnotherapy this relaxed state is called trance. All people experience trance states on a daily basis. Trance simply refers to the experience of being really relaxed. It also involves focusing your attention so that it is highly selective. Reading a really good book and being completely absorbed in it, is an example.

Have you had the experience of being totally immersed in the characters of the book, being able to vividly imagine what they are like, whilst at the same time being able to ignore other noises and distractions going on around you? If so, you have experienced trance. Using your imagination and day-dreaming are other examples. Any time that you ‘go inside’ your own head you are in a light trance. If you’ve ever had the experience of having a problem that is constantly with you, so that it feels like all you have or all you are, is this problem, then you will know what it is like to experience a bad trance.

Richard Bandler (a computer scientist) and John Grinder (an associate professor in linguistics) developed NLP in the 1970’s. NLP was created after they spent time studying and modelling therapists who were considered to be extremely effective at getting good results. One of these therapists, was the Psychiatrist Milton Erickson. He was also an extremely talented

hypnotherapist. Erikson’s style of indirect hypnotic suggestion and skilled use of ambigous and vague language patterns, has become known as Ericksonian hypnosis. Since NLP was developed after modelling Erickson, many NLP techniques involve Ericksonian hypnotic approaches. Like more traditional hypnotherapy, NLP works with the unconscious part of the mind in order to find solutions to problems. NLP therapists are also trained in using Milton Model language patterns in order to induce light trance states in clients. This is very useful at getting a problem moving when a person is stuck in a bad trance. Other hypnotic techniques that are common to NLP include metaphorical story telling and utilising the client’s imagination in order to bring about a highly focused state of attention during change techniques – a trance state.

How do NLP and Hypnotherapy Differ

You will find that they are more similar then they are different. During hypnotherapy you are much more likely to be seated in a comfy chair, perhaps reclining with your eyes closed! During NLP you often get more involved with the techniques on a practical level, so you may be standing, or be required to do or say certain things related to overcoming your problem. You may still get to close you eyes and you will certainly get to use your imagination. NLP techniques utilise hypnotic elements but usually in a more subtle way, the NLP therapist will empower you to draw on resources you already have in order to bring about new options in thinking.

When you see an NLP therapist you will find they often use more traditional hypnotherapy techniques as well. At the end of your NLP session, after all the hard work, you will often get to recline back in your chair and experience relaxation so that you leave the therapists office feeling positive and ready to go on with your day.

How to Draw Video Game Characters Luigi November 22nd, 2009 This is a tutorial, showing you how to draw my most favorite video game character of all time, Luigi. The green plumber has always been my favorite over Mario, just because he’s green, has a better mustache, and he’s not fat (wait! Did I say that?!). Anyway, I hope you guys like the tutorial. You should rate the video, favorite, and comment. If you want to send me a request, I ask that you please send me a message at my channel in the following form: Subject: Request Message: Character, Media (Supplies), and any specific instructions. The one thing you probably should do is subscribe, that way you’ll be able to know when my next tutorial comes out. All original music and video. Characters belong to their respective owners.

Comic art is not only a medium to entertain the children but the same time also helpful to increase  imagination power,conceptulisation for any age group and emphasise anything to be one in this competetive world.The youth can adapt this either by reading or by doing.The artists have many kind of styles to draw a comic e.g cartoon,semirealistic,realistic,carricatures,etc and makes more prominent by the didgital color effects.

     To become a comic artist you should have a instict for good visualisation so you can illustrate the concept or story whichever you have in mind.First of all,for the beginers it is must to have a hold on the pencil or brush (it is your choice what media you want to apply) just practice with oval and circular shapes and with standard primitive shapes like box,sphere,cone and cylinder.To keep a fine grip on pencil most of the artists being practicing with oval and circular shapes while they are too good in drawing and popular but just for a hold.

     To draw any object or character you should observe the things and living beings deeply  with their nature and behaviour so that you can easily draw a consequential illustrations which is most important thing for the comic art e.g observe the rubber ball’s behaviour and it’s anticipations,when a rubber ball thrown by force than watch how many times it bounces over the ground against the gravity and also watch it’s stretching during the up-down movements. for another instance watch a an animal for their behaviour how they act,and for their anatomy and feature details.Obervations not only makes your art mature but also make realistic.when you start to draw a comic strip you should keep patience and draw the scenes or characters using their dynamic angles and perspectives like bottom view,worm eye view,top view,bird’s eye view etc.

     To  make more prominent to the scene,panel or character you should draw them using dynamic angles and perspectives so the reader have some fun and can read the story with enjoyment.For the beginers it is recommended that they should observe famous comic and graphic novel artists work,live sketching,images and paintings,anatomy books to be a good artist.
