Painless Perspective

I came across this useful video on how to make easy perspective lines, so I thought I'd share it. I've never been one to go through the trouble of plotting out a perspective grid when I create my illustrations. I admit, it's a laziness thing, but with this, it pretty much does all the work for you.  

Iain McCaig interview

Really inspiring interview of illustrator and concept artist Iain McCaig,  who is popularly known for his concept work on Star Wars. The genuine passion for what he does really shines through as he talks about his life and work. I'm sure it must be a real treat to study under this guy. I especially like the way he describes digital media, that this "new technology is the traditional of the future". Definitely worth watching!

Children's Book Publishing with Matt Faulkner, Julie Downing and Andrea Brown

Just finished this insightful video about children's book publishing. Worth watching for anyone new (or not so new), and is thinking about coming into this field. They talk a little about submissions guidelines, book dummies, and other important things one should know. They also touch on the current state of children's book, and the hot topic of digital ebooks. Worth checking out.
