It looks gorgeous. You're so good at highlighting texture, how did you achieve that?
Thank you!! I really appreciate it. For the texture, I am mostly just following the lessons here, especially the ones about drawing in the shadows. I also am a big fan of John Muir Laws nature journaling videos and tutorials - he has a lot on drawing animals and plants - and Claudia Nice's "Creating Textures with Pen and Ink" book - super helpful and all focused on drawing from nature!
Wow, that's interesting. Thanks for the reply.
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.
