You really do not need to be a technically advanced artist to be able to paint mountains. It is actually easier than it seems. There are some basic rules which need to be followed while painting a mountain. Before we begin learning how to paint a mountain, we need to assemble some essential items. They are:
A canvas board
Oil painting medium
Brushes for painting ( size #6 & #12)
Oil paints- Prussian blue, black, cadmium yellow medium, alizarin crimson, white and cerulean blue
A palette/glass plate
A rug/paper towels
So let us now begin the act of painting mountains!
Squeeze each color onto the palette and note the name of the color above the dab of paint. This is important because colors can get confusing if one is not attentive enough. For example Prussian blue has high chances of being mistaken as black.
Now sketch the mountains on the canvas.
Use the #12 brush to lay the mixture that you have made in the palette. Make sure to sweep the brush downwards from top of the mountain. Pick up black, Prussian blue and alizarin crimson to create some shades of shadows on the peaks. You can also create some valleys on the lower peaks of the mountains.
Remember that the bottom of the mountains should fade into darkness and it should meet the shadowed side and has to be lighter on the other side.
Now use the #6 brush and with white and Prussian blue colors, add highlights to the top of the mountains by giving short strokes. After this, wipe off the brush with a towel and use the white and cadmium yellow colors. Make sure that there is not much yellow on the brush. For the final effect, just over stroke the highlights with this mixture.
There are several and varied symptoms which indicate a woman that she is pregnant. The symptoms also vary from woman to woman. So, if you think that you will be experiencing the same symptoms as your sister or best friend did, then you might be in for a surprise. Just make sure that you are aware of your bodily changes and have a home pregnancy kit handy. Let us now venture further into the area of knowing whether a woman is pregnant or not.
Try and recollect whether you have had unprotected sex in the recent past or not. You need to also analyze whether your birth control mechanism has failed or otherwise. If yes, then chances are that you might be pregnant.
There are certain early symptoms of pregnancy which are hard to notice such as, enlarged breasts, tiredness, frequent urination and nausea. Nausea doesn't necessarily happen during morning, it can happen during any time of the day. So remember not to ignore these symptoms as temporary "illnesses".
The most obvious sign which lets a woman into believing that she is pregnant is missing her periods. However, just missing one or two menstrual periods may not mean that pregnancy is on the cards because many women generally have a delayed or late period due to certain hormonal changes in the body.
Frequent mood swings, cramping, vomiting and an increase in your basal body temperature can hint towards pregnancy.
Some women also have craving for a certain kind of food, lower back pain, headaches, and sensitivity to certain fragrances, dizziness, a change in libido, constipation and skin changes which give an intuition to the woman that she is pregnant.
However the most foolproof test for pregnancy is taking the home pregnancy test and then following it up with your doctor.

Have you ever wondered how cartoonists succeed in creating variety of interesting characters with their colors? Be it animation movies, comic books or magazines with cartoon pictures, the talent of the cartoonists breathe life to every single character drawn.
Drawing cartoon, especially faces is not an easy task; it encompasses creativity, wit and style. However, amateurs willing to draw cartoon faces can definitely give a try. With practice you will surely refine your drawing skill and achieve perfection. For all the beginners wondering how to draw cartoon faces, following guidelines will be of immense help:
Guidelines
Drawing cartoon faces become really simpler when you divide the face into basic shapes that comprise it. You can create different types of faces by drawing different geometric shapes like square, circle, oval, triangular etc.
Once you are done with the face structure, you can add eyes probably two circles, a nose, mouth and finally hair. Depending upon what expression you want to give to your character, the eyes and mouth structure will vary.
Step By Step Method
First draw an oval shape. Now draw crossed lines across the face so that you can keep all the facial features like eyes, eyebrows, ears, nose and mouth in right proportion to one another.
At the uppermost portion of the face, add two curved lines for the eyebrows. You could make it thicker or thinner as per your choice. Below the eyebrows draw two smaller circles for the eyes. Inside these circles make two solid black dots for the eyeballs. Add eyelashes to the upper eyes if you want.
Now proceed to other features. Draw a nose below and between the eyes. For nose you can either draw a U shape, an inverted V, a slight curve line with two dots above it or even an L shape.
At the lower portion of the face, draw a mouth. You must draw it keeping in mind the expression you want to add to the face. If you want a smiling face, then make a slight curve and connect it to a broader U shape below it. If a frowning expression is required then make a curve downwards. Make sure for this type of expression the eyebrows should be slanting on the inside, down toward the eyes.
Add ears at the sides of the face. Depending upon whether you are drawing the front view or side view of the face, you will add both the ears and just one ear.
Cartoon faces are incomplete without hair on their heads. You can experiment with different types of lines like curved, straight, slanted, curly, zig zag, etc. Using different lines draw appropriate hair style for your cartoon face. Have a look at some of the cartoon character's hair style and try to do something similar.
Once the hair is done, you can go on to do some shading or coloring. This will make your cartoon face much more eye-catchy.
