The truth is many of you have seen this before, but somehow I haven’t blogged about it, so I’m doing a COVER REVEAL today! Muahahahah! I would like to introduce you to the cover art for BONE & BLOOD, my upcoming retelling of the fairy tale Snow White, Rose Red. Dun dun dunnnnnnn!!!!! LET ME TELL YOU THE STORY OF THIS COVER ART. :D Cover designer Ravven, whose work I absolutely adore, did this as a pre-made cover. I saw it about 18 months ago now and I went OH.…
A few people have asked for this, and far be it from me to deny my audience :D First question: what course would I recommend for people who haven’t drawn in a really long time? Answer: Technically speaking, everything you could possibly want to learn is available for free somewhere on YouTube.

Holy crap! I accidentally finished the coursework! The last section was definitely an overview and only took a couple hours, and now I’m flabbergasted that I’m finished! I HAVE mentally committed to 100, so I’m going to do some more anatomy stuff, but good heavens! And the truth is that if I hadn’t done all the face/head work stuff, I’d have finished at about 80 hours, probably. Which is fine: I’d figured I would finish earlier than 100 hours, but even if it had taken me the whole 100, I…
I cannot believe I’m at eighty hours. Nearly done. That’s amazing. I’ve spent most of the past ten art hours on Loomis heads. They’re something I’ve been aware of but don’t remember ever being taught how to draw, and…it has been A Learning Curve. I wanted to internalize it so I can do it consistently and, y’know, hopefully well, at some point, so it’s gone kind of… I did the first assignment and it wasn’t TERRIBLE, but the second lesson was…well, it was the first time I felt that the…
