Righty hoo.

Yo dudes! how've you all been doing?? I've been a little disheartened today since I heard one my family members say that, and I quote, "not getting even one A when I go to the almighty Henrietta Barnett was a tad crap/bad."

Gee thanks. Much appreciated. Way to boost a gal's self esteem. I can take lectures and crap from my parents because that's just they're way of showing they care but dude..you ain't even an immediate family member. It just really saddens me when I hear people say that. As if they're implying that I've been spoonfed information from a gold plate (allow silver) on how to pass exams since I could walk.

Gah ANYWAYS. That slap in the face aside.

I was browsing pdf files on the internet looking for some inspirational art viewpoints and came across "Drawn to Life: 20 Golden Years of Disney Master Classes volume 1 by Walt Stanchfield", and gosh, I definitely recommend this book to amateur and professional artists looking for guidance, or just as a reference point really. Specialising in Disney's animation studio, he's got such great advice on story telling and graphic communication. I'm really sorry that I don't have the link to the pdf...my computer decided to end it's life while I was still reading through the file GAH. TT__TT and I can't seem to locate it again.
But thank god I wrote the name down. Searched it up on Amazon and new copies of the book cost a whopping £20...but the used and abused section slashed it to just below a tenner I think. If I'm wrong...I'm sorry =S.

However, if your strapped for cash no pro. Central London accomodates for all ;] haha. Nah, there's loadsa comic book stores that you could hit up, but the one I go to is called 'Forbidden Planet'. Closest station..hmm Leicester sq? I usually just walk from there. Google map it. 179 Shaftesbury Av. Bottom floor is the one you want.

THIS is what I want to get my hands on..been time since I've seen spidy and spider-woman together. =]Good composition. <3

PLUS. I've been working on a few sketches and cleaned up this one a tad:

Hmm...I'm not sure what's wrong..but she just seems a bit stumpy to me..but ahh a sketch right ;]. heh =]

Anyways...though it is late in the night I've got to get back to stats. =_=. goddamn that unit. Makes my head hurts every time I see it.

So ciao for now.
Much lavv
