I appriciate the amount of feedback you've given me. This is great! Thanks as well for the demonstrations you took the time to put together.

One thing I was confused on (specifically when it comes to the goat's belly), is that in the intro video Uncomfortable does make a point of cutting in at that specific spot when drawing a tiger. He even states that most animals have that dip there. I know that there's an overhaul of the course in the works and you mentioned that, but I just wanted to let you know why I thought to do that. It wasn't out of ignorance, I was just a bit confused. Apologies, lots to remember!

Once again thanks, looking forward to carrying on.

Cheers,

No problem!

Yes, I remember Uncomfortable cutting into the tiger in the intro video, now that you've mentioned it. It can get pretty confusing in this lesson, with some of the older demos having information in them that conflicts with what we're currently asking students to do. I apologise if I came accross as harsh or unfair, just be sure not to cut inside your silhouettes when practicing these exercises in the future. A lot of this confusion should be cleared up when the overhaul gets to lesson 5, but for now, congratulations on navigating through it.

If I remember correctly, there is little/no conflicting information in the cylinder challenge, so the instructions should be more straightforward. Best of luck with the rest of the course.

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.
