Jason Brubaker is one of my favorite creators and he’s been going through a difficult time lately. Would you consider checking out his shop and maybe giving a bit of support if anything strikes your fancy? He also has a Gumroad shop with digital content.

I highly recommend the Cognitive Drawing workbook! It takes you through drawing the male figure, but it also teaches a very effective method of learning to draw in general. It is popular with the homeschoolers and I know we have a bushel of those here.

The Lord of the Rings reading continues into Chapter 11 this week!

 

My birthday is coming up on April 9th, and there’s this idea that I’ve been wanting to do. It goes like this: Participants each send a marker to my PO box, then I have to make a masterpiece using only the marker colors provided, then one participant gets picked at random to win the original artwork I create. I know what you’re thinking, “Laura, this is just a way for you to get more markers.” and that is true, that is why I wanted to time it around my birthday. It is a good excuse.

Markers should be: 1) New 2) Alcohol based.
My PO box is (It can also be found on the ‘About’ page:
Laura Hollingsworth
PO Box 204
Colfax, CA 95713

The brand doesn’t matter, but if I were to rank markers, Top Tier: Copic, Specrum Nior, Prismacolor, Windsor & Newton. Medium Tier: Master’s Touch, Artist’s Loft, those cheap sets on Amazon that always have different brand names but are basically the same markers. Trash Tier: Blick Studio
