Now I really do need to get back to work. Sorry.

Free Illustration Tutorials

Is it mid-July already? Goodness, I’ve been way too busy to post anything until now.

I’ve always been fascinated by books and magazines that show a person’s creative process from concept to completion. Von “Vonster” Glitschka’s IllustrationClass.com is a real treat to me. This Salem, Oregon “Illustrative Designer” (I may have to borrow his term) has posted his collection of illustration tutorials from a year of teaching. You can download his tutorials which include the images, notes and helpful resources.

Guatam Rao auctions his oil on Masonite pieces through eBay.
