Drawing Everyday: Day 2 & Going Out on A Limb (Taking Risks)
Drawing Everyday #2: Still Life Drawing (Fruits)
“Why not go out on a limb? That’s where the fruit is.” – Mark Twain
Taking risks is important. Necessary even. You can never know what you’re truly capable of unless you take risk, unless you go put yourself out in the “discomfort” zone.
Or so I’ve heard, read, and seen other people.
But by taking my first steps toward visual arts, this is me trying to find that out for myself. Whether or not it comes true, we’ll see.
So here’s one to all those choosing discomfort over comfort, difficult over easy, and absurd over mundane.
And thank you for supporting, viewing, liking and commenting on my blog! You all are super great.
Spec Book Cover #2 (And Keeping Your Ideas Alive)
So this name struck my mind this afternoon and just refused to go away:
The Giant of Valhalla
It sounded like a great title to me. I haven’t got a single clue as to what the story might be behind this title, but I wanted to keep the idea alive by creating a (not that) quick ‘Spec Book Cover’. One day, hopefully, I’ll find time to fill in the blank page for its synopsis.
So I share two covers with you (with the author named after one of my favorite writers, Mark Lawrence of The Broken Empire Series).
The first design is a minimalist approach (just the way I love it!).
The other has a bit rough and strong aesthetics about it.
As always, opinions are most welcome!
