About life About books.


Well, things are evolving. Not that much fast, but I can't complain. I spent this time( almost 5 months since the last post) working for a couple of studios, writing the book, reading! and doing art studies that I won't show you for now cause I decided to put all of it together and write another book! Yes, a second one. An anatomy book for artists.

I think I have good material here about bones, muscles, planes. But the good news is the theory: is all about self-knowledge, perception development, struggle in life, hard times, failures, get used to it and never give up. In times when people only talk about their success, maybe if I speak about my failures some of you will recognize yourself and won't feel that lonely as I am at the moment. Cause yes. I do feel I am a lonely irresponsible loser right now - while everyone is working and evolving fast, I'm here trying to live a dream, writing, studying and putting my money into this project. Anyway ... at the end of the day, it's not an easy thing to do but I did my decision and there is no comeback.

Honestly, this second book came to mind for two reasons: First, there are many studies done here; so why not compete with all the great masters of the past( laughing loudly right now)? And the second reason is ... the main book, the big project (let's call it that) needs a lot more time than I thought. Not just for writing and illustrating, but also for doing all the research. I really need to spend some time reading, reading, and reading. If I want to have a good foundation for extracting the right concept for the world I'm building (and I want to do it as accurately as possible), I need to be responsible and dive into all these references. So if I gather all this knowledge and share my process, my path, my routine - for all of you beginners and self-taught artists out there, I'm sure it will be very, very useful.

One more time, this is really, REALLY, the craziest journey I've ever experienced as a pro. Living in the chaos! This is my life.

Thank you for reading this blog. I really appreciate. See you later!
Cheers.

  2. I relate with this lonely feeling. I'm not a pro (not even close!) but I recently changed my life to study art. I quited the Engineering college last year and since then I am studying to become a professional artist. At some moments, mostly after seeing people getting good really fast while I feel stuck sometimes, not having much time for study because of work, responsabilities I can't handle, etc. I really doubted about my decision, if I should continue the course or not, maybe do another changes, but I am sure this path I am following is not bad at all. Thank you for sharing this, you really helps me to stay strong and confident, you are such an inspiration! Really exited to have your books!
