Rendering Realistic Graphite Portraits. Book introduction by Jeremy Lee.76

Rendering Realistic Graphite Portraits. Book introduction by Jeremy Lee.

Rendering realistic Portraits These are the first few words of a new book on drawing that will soon be released as an e-book. It has over 33,000 words and over 100 illustrations. The reason I wrote the book is that there are literally hundreds of books on sketching and drawing, but I can't find a decent one that takes it to the next level and teaches people the methods used to create a finished work of art with nothing more than a pencil and paper.

Radiometric Dating: How Does It Work?75

Radiometric Dating: How Does It Work?

Since radioactive elements have a measurable half-life - the period of time needed for an amount of the substance to decrease by half - they can be used to measure the ages of rocks containing them. Over the past century this technique, known as radiometric dating, has allowed geologists to precisely date rocks from the Earth, the Moon, Mars, and meteorites, allowing them to establish the age of the Earth and our Solar System.
