It's been a while since I've sat and READ a book on art. When I was in high school, I studied photography and read photography books (that's right) on techniques as well as the works of other photographers in history, and I feel like these days, a lot of that is lost. People scroll by and see an art piece, but don't stop to really appreciate it! That's what I really loved about this book. Not only did I get to see so much amazing art by artists, honoring one of the masters, but I got to look at their process as well as their breakdowns of how they created their illustrations.

I mostly draw for fun. I do plan on getting into science illustration, but it tends to be a bit different (sometimes) when it comes to big illustrations. Learning about the processes of these artists has really reopened my eyes to wanting to get back into studying art, just for the fun of it. I had bought tools to delve back into traditional (which was my main medium for many years before I got a tablet a few years ago), so I'm excited to really pursue it with clearer goals in mind~
