Art lessons

I've been recording some environment and character concept art drawings that I've been doing, and I'm preparing a set of concept art tutorials. However it does take a long time to do these, and a lot of preparation, so I'm going to put together a Patreon so i can spend the time i need to on it for you guys.

It will include all sorts of cool info, like: 

- Drawing basics: Form, flow and movement
- Composition
- What brushes to use
- How to create your own brushes
- Good exercises to practice
- Lighting
- Detailing and rendering
- Design
- Resource gathering
- Blending
- Natural vs Man-made environments

And a huge amount of other stuff.

So yes! If you'd like to learn how to paint environments, characters, Monsters and other fun stuff from me keep an eye out for futher details about how you can help!

Are there any other things that you would specifically like me to cover? Tell me! I'll be sure to add some tips and tricks to the lessons if i think i can help!

In other news

I started my first day at work yesterday as lead designer and admin of an environmental buildings firm. It's pretty hectic (engineers have no idea how to organize is2g) but its good. Got me out the house and doing stuff, which in turn makes me more motivated to actually draw and be creative. Its only two days a week so but its a start : )

I've recovered from my surgery. All went well! : D 

Thanks for the support and well wishes guys.
