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.
