I love how your images look plausible, and look exactly like a place I would want to find and visit or a place I’ve been. They make me want to go into every BD store I see in Brussels and Paris and go and hang around more in the south of France and Corsica.
I understand why the process and equipment questions annoy you. There are some out there who think there may be a magic wand that shortcuts the practicing and there isn't. However, there are others, like me, who are learning and, occasionally, come across a part of a process, or a tool maybe that they were not familiar with and that might open possibilities. Lately I am trying to figure what convenient waterproof ink solutions exist and someone posted about Pentel Energel permanent ink pens. So I'm going to give them a whirl. Anyway, happy new year, and thanks for this and all your other posts.
The perfect post to start 2024! This thing called the internet has given many the impression there's a magic bullet to producing great work, probably because all people ever see is the finished item, so they never see what it takes to get to that point. I feel that makes some think that if they can grab the 'formula', they can jump the queue; the idea of putting in the hard work and time to develop your own thing just is not on their radar (probably why these 'AI' tools have such a following). Glad you said it!!!
Reading this was a great way to start 2024. Thank you!
Always a pleasure to read you, Owen. Grettings from Argentina, Buenos Aires. It will be awesome if we had the opportunity to buy your books over here!
This was a great start for 2024! I am also ANGRY that the cute coastal cafe establishment clearly has no consideration for disability access!!! 😆❤️
Really enjoyed reading this.

Additional question/heckle: are you able to draw isometric freehand by now?
