I got my copy of James Gurney's
book on Adolph Menzel! The man lived by his motto "Not a day without a
line." and sketched and painted everything all the time (as does the
admirable James Gurney, one of our best living artists), his commitment
was extraordinary! My hope is that that all of us digital artists will follow his
inspiration and improve through observational study. The book has helped
me redouble my efforts, It sits next to my desk and is frequently
perused as a constant reminder of what the attitude of a real artist is.
I highly recommend it, get your copy at James' website.

Office Window, Digital
About 13 years ago I went through the transition from traditional
painting for animation to digital. It was really tough. I prided myself
on my brushwork but had to transition to tap tap tapping on a wacom
tablet, no cintiq existed.
So to practice, I continued my habit of painting the view out my office window but now with digital tools. These are some of my first digital paintings.
