“Henry Yan’s Figure Drawing: Techniques and Tips” Art Book Review (From 1 Minute to 4 Hour Poses)
This book falls into the same way of getting to me as Barbara Bradley’s book, it was suggested to me by a lecturer who also took Henry Yan’s classes before in the school she herself studied at, the same school Barbara Bradley taught at. If my memory is correct. I quite liked this book, although […]

“XP-PEN Artist 22 (2nd Generation)” First Day/Week Impressions Review (Better Than Expected)
So, I recently bought a new display tablet, my second digital tablet in the whole of my drawing life, my first being a no-more-in-production years ago, 10 year old plus Wacom Bamboo Fun tablet, that is so hilariously outdated by now.

Promare (2019) Review – The Studio Trigger Formula
Promare is a Studio Trigger animated film that despite its flaws, I love a lot. I have liked a lot of Studio Trigger’s work, a lot of which, some would say all, follow the general rule of style (visuals) over (story) substance. But Studio Trigger does style so well that the weaker story elements can […]
