[@basenkaua]

I would like to point out your way to present each book and accompany it with your own drawings as examples. Pure pleasure how you have composed it. Seamless and high quality! It has been very enjoyable and inspiring. Thank you so much!

[@artofjesskarp]

Thank you for paying attention :) I try to make it as helpful as possible. Thanks for the kind words

You know that feeling... when you don't do you sketchbook in order bc ur dumb 😑 and then u need to find blank pages to fill but can't fill them bc the other side has a cute drawing and u don't want ur new art to bleed on it 😭 Or is that just me... yep I think it is 😂

[@soda_fairy]

That sounds like something that can be fixed depending on the paper ur using actually

[@39Bosski]

Nope, it's not just you. I do this all the time. Can't tell you how many times I've ruined the picture on back because I was so into what I was doing I FORGOT about the old art work.

[@quintessential8361]

James Gurney has a youtube channel and engages in conversation and replies to comments. (which blew my mind the first time he replied to a comment I made). I have also purchased the Dinotopia book series that he wrote and illustrated using family, neighbors, and house painters (!) as models. I have to admit that I am a Gurney groupie. new subbie here
