Master the basics of figure drawing with our series by Charlie Pickard.

Fundamentally fantastic

Hi Rob, I use a variety of mediums in my art, from watercolours to Procreate. I’ve always found that it’s really easy to get information about projects and pieces of art, which can be very useful. However, it can be much more difficult to build up the fundamental skills that make you a better artist.

That’s why I wanted to say thank you! I’ve been reading Charlie Pickard’s series and it’s exactly this kind of information that I believe will help people learn to develop their creativity. At least, that’s how I feel about it.

Rob replies I couldn’t agree more there Andrea! There’s definitely a place for walkthroughs on existing artwork, as so many people like insights into how others approach their work, but I think it’s true to say that if you can become a master of the fundamentals, then that allows so much more scope for creativity. Understanding light, form and values gives power to the ideas that every creative has.

Our last issue featured wonderful work from the sketchbook of ChrissaBug.

I’ve got the bug

I just wanted to write in and say thanks for sharing ChrissaBug’s sketchbook. I’m a massive fan of hers and follow her on Instagram, but there’s something extra special about seeing my favourite artists in print. Can we get more please?!

Rob replies Hi there, Dahl
