It is one of the best tips I've seen. <br />I am just in the process of reading your books Color and Light and Imaginative Realism. A search for tips that newcomers in illustration could use brought me to your Dinotopia Site, and your blog. <br />Thank you for your useful tips and comments, they will help me find a way back to illustrating after some years away from drawing and painting.Chris Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06797074359297250927noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-6921265152623241972014-08-13T18:02:29.096-04:002014-08-13T18:02:29.096-04:00Thanks, and thank you for the quick reply.

I got to the section on maquettes and you described a flexible brass tubing. I have not been able to find such a thing at the hardware store. I asked, and they thought it might be some kind of plumbing speciality. Do you know what it's called. I tried calling a plumbing store but they put me on hold with Rush Limbaugh, and that was the end of that.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-78749895813684357512013-08-10T08:55:56.458-04:002013-08-10T08:55:56.458-04:00Thank you for blogging this post.

I just wish I'd been told about building them when I was working on my BFA. I'd make a bunch of sketches about that I thought the lighting would do but it's not a substitute solution. An hour with clay would have been much faster and more accurate, plus allowing one to explore different angles and lighting options.daylily fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326003813743638512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-88533801770734579042012-01-16T12:05:25.494-05:002012-01-16T12:05:25.494-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.daylily fanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05326003813743638512noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2999230124118604245.post-62625836926623302072012-01-16T10:56:40.760-05:002012-01-16T10:56:40.760-05:00I've stared at this painting in your book.
