Review: Turner Design Gouache
I’ve been a fan of gouache since I discovered Olivia De Berardinis’s cheesecake art while in high school. And I fell in love with the ideas behind the media: being able to blend colors after the paint dried, highly opaque paint, and being water-soluble. Gouache has actually been a rocky road for me thus far. …
Review: XP-Pen Star 03 Graphics Tablet
I’m one of those tight son-of-a-guns that will milk practically anything and everything until it falls apart or becomes obsolete. If anyone remembers how long I’m willing to work a Mac until it burns out, you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about. Another great example is my Wacom Intuos 2 graphics tablet.

Review: Faber-Castell Goldfaber Color Pencils
I stumbled across these new Faber-Castell Goldfaber Color Pencils while frequenting a local Hobby Lobby.

Review: Winsor and Newton Pigment Markers
Winsor and Newton Pigment Markers have had a lot of hype when first introduced to the market. They’ve receive as much hype, if not more so than their Watercolor Markers. (Which I happen to be a huge fan of.) My personal reaction to Winsor and Newton Pigment Markers had been a bit more tepid. My First Reactions …
Review: Winsor & Newton Watercolor Markers
If you’ve been following my Facebook page, you’d have seen a few posts on my first impressions of Winsor & Newton’s Watercolor Markers. I’m going to be up front and admit that the most experience that I’ve ever had with color markers has been when I was coloring with Crayolas [Amazon] around the age of …
Book Review: Basic Perspective For Comics & Illustration
Pat Quinn’s Basic Perspective For Comics & Illustration As some of you may know, I’ve posted a series of articles in Yes, You Too Can Draw! covering one-point, two-point, and three-point perspective. Basic Perspective for Comics & Illustration was one of the books that I referenced while writing the article on three-point perspective. It’s one of the books I’ve often …
