Im working diligently on How to Draw Fantastic Humans. As with all things worth doing, its taking some time to get it right. Heres how things stand right now.
The Concept
In short, I would like to do a series of books about drawing. Specifically, I would like to create the go-to series for folks who play TTRPGs and would like to draw their own characters, or the creatures that their characters face off against.
But thats kinda a big ask.
So Im eating this particular elephant one bite at a time, and Im starting with the humans. Its the logical starting point for a number of reasons, but here are some of the big ones:
Balancing Thorough with Efficient
This is a tricky one for me. At times I want to put ALL THE THINGS into this. Go through everything from anatomy to architecture to diet into the book. All from a visual perspective, of course. But thats too much and honestly, would make it into the sort of project that would never see the light of day.
So I have to pull back and keep the content to things that people will be able to use. Preferably what they can use right now, today.
And of course, I find myself thinking of that old adage from Mark Twain: I didnt have time to write a short letter, so I wrote a long one instead.
Quality not quantity.
Support
Want to help me keep the ball rolling Well here are the things that will most definitely do that!
Detailed Updates
Ill post both at my Patreon page and here as things progress.
So far, Ive been bouncing back and forth from the writing and editing to the drawing side of things. Its a process that works for me and my ADHD brain.
Depending on which version youre looking at, Im currently at about 15-20 pages of almost entirely text, and I have a number of pages of illustrations. Those two will get cut up and commingled, but I think were looking at 20-25 pages so far, and its likely to get significantly larger before I edit it down.
Point is, that its coming along nicely so far, and grows as I have time.
This post is part of a series on my forthcoming book titled How to Draw Fantastic Humans. I will create a main page to gather info on the topic soon, but for now, this is it.

Two books informed my view of the Israel Palestine situation. Blood Brothers and Son of Hamas.
By reading these books, I realised that the simplistic view my Christian evangelical friends had of Israel was not accurate. The sanitizing of Hamas is incorrect too. So, I do recommend you read these books, straight from the people who lived there & experienced the horrors, to get perspective.

Finished rereading and taking notes on a wonderfully informative about :blobcat:
Inspired by a true story, The Promise is a very emotional and heartwarming read reminding readers how friendship is a gift, and how ethnicities or religions arent important when it comes to it. The art is colorful, soft, and gorgeous.

Finished "our friends in Berlin" (pretty meh) and now started listening to "Doppelgnger" by Noami Klein. Still very much at the start of it but I like it so far! It's about Noami wolf, another writer with many similarities to mrs klein but sinking deeper and deeper into conspiracy land. They get mistaken a lot for each other which is causing Mrs klein constant anguish.

The title of The Frugal Wizard's Handbook for Surviving Medieval England" convinced me to read the book before I even read the book description. Brandon Sandersons fast-paced adventure, illustrated throughout in various styles, blends alternate dimensions and history, interdimensional time portals, lost memories, body augmentations, Vikings, gods, spirits, and magic, with plenty of pop culture references and humorous lines.
A heartbreaking and emotional story of the toll that health crises can have on an entire family, The Weight We Carry reminds us of the fine line between reliance and independence, tending and mothering, and love and obligation.
