Well, it seems that I have been featured *again*, for my Unique Characters tutorial.  I don't even have words for how freakin' chuffed I am, and I don't want to harp on like a blubbering beauty queen, so just know that I'm very very happy that people are getting some use out of the stuff in my noggin.

It's gotten me thinking of all the art knowledge I have stored up there.  I was lucky enough to go to the Claremont School of Art, which was a proper freaking art school.  It was almost like its own movement, in a way.  The teachers there were nothing short of phenomenal, and I wasn't just taught how to paint - I was taught how to see the world like an artist and a student.

It makes me sad to think that some of that is gone now, but I realised when I was sharing what I knew about drawing unique characters, that I had a lot of information I could share with people about art and about using your senses like an artist.

It's going to take me some weeks to write these tutorials, but here's what I had in mind:

- Difficult Anatomy: Getting those Tricky Bits Right.
- Learning to See: Art Basics
- Colour: Choosing it Wisely

If you have anything about art that you want to know more about, please *please* feel free to ask me.  What do you wish you knew better?  Is there something I do in my art that you want to know about?  Feel free to leave a comment or send me a note (even better).   I want to keep making these tutes and help people enjoy art more.  Everyone can be an artist, and if sharing what I know helps people realise that, then all the bloody better!

I printed out your faces tutorial, it's going to be an excellent practice tool.

I hope I'm not out of line posting these here. I am in no way affiliated with either site but I have found them invaluable.

Riven Pheonix is a master of anatomy and he provides hours of easy to follow tutorials. You do have to pay for his stuff, but it's worth 5x what he charges.
