Day 3: Reality

I had to make a tough decision in my personal life on the weekend so it's been a rough few days. To be frank, I had no motivation to do anything at all but at the same time I know I have set a goal for myself and I need to keep going. I did draw but the subject matters were a bit personal so I have decided to not post some of the entries. I do want to give thanks to my close friends, parents, and my boss for all the support they have given me. Everyone of you have touched my heart truly and I am very grateful.

Meanwhile, I have received shipping notice of the artbooks I ordered a week before, so I should receive them in one or two weeks. These are the artists that have and will continue to inspire me on my art journey. The first is the limited edition "Art of Blizzard" book, containing the works of my all time favourite artists the Sons of Storm. The second is "Santa Lilio Sangre Akaiyuri", artbook by Ayami Kojima, better known as the concept artist behind the Castlevania franchise, with notable work such as Lament of Innocence and Symphony of the Night.

I have been watching FZD's tutorials and the things I'm learning are quite eyeopening. I encourage anyone interested in learning about concept art to check these out. Mr. Feng Zhu is an incredible teacher. There are so many tricks and tips in these videos that I have never heard about before. I had to take a notepad and write things down, and I have only watched 6 or 7 episodes of them.

Special thank you goes to my best friend for letting me butcher his facebook profile picture, so brave XD

P.S. The 3rd hand on the top right killed me....spent almost 30min on it and it still looks like a damn paw...more practice inc!

Bottom left: Caterina Sforza (Ref. Photo from The Borgias TV show)

Just finished watching all three seasons of The Borgias. The show was alright but what stood out for me were the costumes and hairstyle designs of the characters, they are quite beautiful. Main reason why I'm a sucker for period drama >.<"
