A Famous Artist is made of Raised Eyebrows!

If you’ve got your eyes set on becoming an artist of international renown, and you’ve never ever done anything that raised eyebrows, you are in trouble, my friend. Real artists, artists who make it big, are the ones who raise eyebrows. They are endowed with the ability to raise eyebrows…of others.

Here are some examples:

Leonardo da Vinci: Raised eyebrows by digging up and stealing corpses.
Vincent Van Gogh: Raised eyebrows by chopping off his ear.
Pablo Picasso: Raised eyebrows through the cubist rendition of his innumerable mistresses.
Salvador Dali: Raised eyebrows by transforming himself into a piece of work.
Hussain: Raised eyebrows by painting stuff that he wasn’t supposed to be painting at all.

So, have you raised any eyebrows yet?

Here’s an Interactive Art Tutorial to help you discover the extraordinary role that eyebrows play in helping your characters express their feelings.
