How to Make a HTML Website in Notepad Part 3 - Adding Links and Menu Bars

You've probably doodled with one of these in class a blue big pen .

But when Oscar Uo uses it , he creates these monochromatic and hyper realistic masterpieces that can sell for up to $600 per print to his clientele in Nigeria and around the world to create something like this .

Oscar will take up to six weeks and go through 10 pens .

It's not that they all run out of ink .

But because if he used only one pen the whole time , the nib would start bleeding from the constant friction .

That's how much intensity creating these portraits requires intensity and a lot of skill .

So how exactly does he make intricately detailed faces out of one of the most common office supplies ?

It comes down to three techniques , hatching , cross hatching and scribbling .

Hatching is a common artist technique used in drawing to create tones and shading using closely spaced parallel lines .

You can see that here , the single lines he's making are hatches which create the base layer for creating shading and tones .

They're typically used for lighter sections .

But there can be variation even within hatching based on how many lines he draws their closeness and how much pressure he applies .

The direction of the hatching can make different sections read as contrasting .

For example , in this section , Oscar kept the lines relatively far apart to create an especially light part of the image compare that to here , there's about double the amount of lines in the same amount of space .

The section is still lighter than the more shaded parts of the image .

But it's darker than where Oscar hatched , more spaced out lines , hatching in curved lines creates contours on a face .

Cross hatching is used for shadowy areas .

And open that and test right there .

So accept that .

Hopefully , yeah .

Here we go .

Take it to the other page .

I've made , uh , back .

Uh , yeah .

And now I will show you how to link it to , uh , a web page .

Uh , already made webpage for a that you would with with , uh , the other file and open .

I'm gonna put google WWW dot You wanna make sure that you put the whole web address ?

Those that won't recognise the website can close the speech .

Close that , and I'm gonna put it as google as that's what I want to appear as .

And close the eight .

I say , like on to your website press refresh or F five .

And as you can see , I've got Google here , which , um , yeah , take me straight to the Google home page and now on to making the menu bar the menu bar .

Not really .

Anything special .

You can see it a lot in comic books , but it's much more detailed here and there's a lot more of it in order to make it hyper real , the overlapping criss crosses create the illusion of deck .

You can see it being used in this section just under the lips to create a shadow layering them , makes the shadows even deeper and darker .

With these two techniques .

The final piece can show a full picture of the scene .

Oscar is trying to set as a viewer .

You'll be able to understand the lighting of the picture which sets the mood of the whole piece .

But to really bring the portrait to the finish line .

Oscar will use his final technique scribbling , but when he's talking about scribbling , it's not necessarily the doodling and randomly drawn lines .

You might think of Oscar's version of scribbling is an improvisation based on skill that years of being an artist has taught him , it's his technique for adding finishing touches .
