to self-improvement
Are you a selfie addict? I’m sure that
lots of you regularly take photos of
yourselves, having fun with friends or
family, or at a special occasion. It’s a great
way to capture the moment so that you
won’t forget the event (although, to those
of you who use selfie sticks: God gave
you arms, they’re the perfect extendable
accessory to help you take a photo at length… rant over!) But as an
artist, have you ever taken this one step further and created your
own self-portrait? You are your best muse – and freely available
when you want, too! We get artists to discuss the merits and
downfalls of such a pursuit over on page 20.
As for this manga edition, I’m particularly pleased with the talent
in the workshop section this month. From pages 62 to 87, you’ll
find stunning imagery and brilliant ways to get painting art in the
style of manga. I loved FeiGiap’s retro environment workshop on
page 82. I got transported to warmer climes and the different senses
and smells that you encounter on overseas trips just by looking at
his richly detailed image. Jade Mosch’s illustrative image on page 64
is a beautiful piece of unique art, and she shares some practical
knowledge about her digital pastelling techniques, too.
How can I have almost finished writing this without mentioning
the unicorn on the cover?! I’ve finally got a unicorn on the cover!
Woo! My work here is done. Well, until next month that is…
I hope you enjoy the issue. As ever, we always love to hear from
you and see what you’re painting, so get in touch!
