XP-PEN Artist 22HD – ‘One Month Later’ Review
Roughly a month or so ago, I bought my first graphics display tablet. I shared about my initial thoughts on it here.

“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 […]

Alla Prima II: “Everything I Know About Painting” Art Book Review (One of The Best Books On Painting)
In my second art book review, it will be an instructional one, I really loved this one. I burned through all 300+ pages in less than a week, if that’s any indication other than the title of this review to get this book, (you might want to get the PDF version since 300+ pages is […]

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 […]
