This demo is so instructive; I’ve looked at it numerous times. Trumpetvine Travels has become a great interest in my life.

Thank you so much for sharing the details of your thought process and technique as you work. What a gift your writing and drawings are. Some things that really strike me from reading this are your wonderful design sense–your ability to see, and improve upon what you’re seeing to make a better composition (something I struggle mightily with) and the depth of your knowledge and understanding of color and design and drawing. Your explanation of putting down just enough pencil marks to map out your drawing was really helpful to me. I like to just jump in with ink and see where I end up, but am often frustrated by doing that too. Drawing with pencil first doesn’t appeal to me, but mapping seems like a perfect approach.

How incredibly generous of you to take the time and patience to break down your sketching process and share it with all of us. I’m an ardent admirer of your work which has such an admirably individual look, as is only fitting and proper. I get so weary of look-alikes…….in everything these days….even in commercials where actors are chosen to resemble well-known entertainment figures. Thank you for sharing of yourself.

You have taught me so much! I have learned the bookbinding technique and have used it several times now…your latest posts on how you sketch and your tools of the trade offer such insight. Thank you for sharing all your wonderful talents! I’m trying to put together a palette for my trip to europe in a couple of weeks…Think I’ll do some color playing today with your suggestions…Thanks!
