My Dear DA friends!

Thanks every one who visits, watches, views, faves or comments on my works. It means a lot me

I'm very grateful to all of you for your support and comments during my active DA period.
I have very little time  for a membership, as my real life projects are BIG and they
demand all my LITTLE free time. My health is also delicate, so I need to take care it.
But, from time to time I might post some new art. Hopefully...

Let your creative muse always be by your side.

For this month of March my reading includes:

"Figure Drawing, Design and Invention" by Michael Hampton. It`s so amazing, I wish I had started out with this book 10 years ago!!!!




and I am still reading, very slowly :

Reading: "A Dance with Dragons" By George R.R. Martin After reading the first 4 book in the Series "A Song of Ice and Fire" I can`t wait to read this huge book!!!!!  

Oh guys, you really should read the series if you haven`t!!!!!

....

Still reading:


Studying: I am continuing with my drawing studies (Figure Drawing, Drawing Course, digital drawing etc). I really have so much to learn. Drawing the draped figure by George Bridman is a simple good book I got too.

Here are my recommendations for this month:



An excelent drawing book


And a classic incredible book!



----------------------------------------------------------


OK... so here are some learning resources I`ve found tremendously helpfull (it`s Christmas time so give yourself of this amazing books):

1. I would have to put in Number 1 Stephanie Pui-Mun Law`s Dreamscapes book.  The content is incredible. A must for fantasy artists. Price $24.99 [link]





2. has the most amazing pencil tutorials. You MUST check them ALL out! And give her a watch, she is one of the best DA artist I`ve come to watch and also a lovely person! Check out ALL her tutorials... here [link]




3. I have to recommend *cypherx skin colouring tutorial.
A very talented   recomended this skin colouring tutorial and I have to say it`s one of the best in DA! If not, the best.


Check out this ballons!!!

4. recommended me a japanese site for studying poses. It`s amazing so if you are intested in studying dymanic posing and trying to make your art faster, you Must look at. This is bases on Betty Edwards "Drawing on the right side of the brain"... so you might want to read that first.

Site for studying poses: Posemaniacs:

5. Amazing recommended me to read and practice with Andrew Loomis books. They are downloable from internet. I can`t give the links, but you can find them here along with anatomy references and all you could ever need to study in years: Btw check her photoshop colouring and watercolour tutorials...


BTW she just got a Daily Deviation on her amazing tutorial!!! Suggested by me!! !!!!




4. has the most amazing studies of races, and anatomy I`ve ever seen. Check her out! [link]




5. This video is AMAZING! So if you miss it, you are totally missing the secret of blending in photoshop. Corel users have their oil pastels that blend themselves, but I like photoshop!!

Check this out: by :devandantonious:



6. AND THIS is honestly one of the most beautiful tutorials in DA!!! It comes along videos... I adore it!!! Don`t forget to check out the 3 parts! AMAZING



8. Brushes: are my fave!


9. Textures. CGtextures.com

10. Stock. ~ThePropagation3 is my fave!


There are of course many other resources, but I think these are good for a start or to get better in what you do.



It's a VERY long way to become really excellent... that's why there are very few REALLY good artists, because most people give up before getting there, or always draw the same thing without real desire to learn...


See ya all and merry Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


NOTE: If you watch me don´t forget to read my rules!! [link]
