As always I rely on google transalate, I hope it does a good job.

I must admit that I found this section much more difficult than the previous one, even more than the 250 boxes (which is more than difficult and a little repetitive).

In particular, I found the part of texture analysis and Dissection difficult. I don't think I really understood how to apply them and how to exploit them, I find that my work is too "big and fat" and really heavy to look at and do.

To be clear, every single sausage took me at least an hour of work, often an hour and a half. It's normal? Or am I going too slowly?

Any advice to lighten everything?

I have to admit that I was also really afraid to start it. CIoe ', I spent days in fear of putting the pen on the sheet. To the obvious it was really overwhelming.

I also see that I have less and less desire to do and I almost no longer draw on my own and for "fun". Any advice to rekindle a little desire and passion?

The Art of Brom

The Art of Brom

Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.

The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
