Animal art
Hello Rob.
I’m an artist from New Zealand and love to draw and paint animals. I just wanted to say well done for the tutorial on painting animals in a recent issue.
I loved how it was realistic and fantastical together and the style of painting was just what I try to do. If only I could be that good! I hope to see more of this type of tutorial. Bye!

Rob replies Hi Bea,
Great to hear from you and so glad you like Xiao’s fantasy beasts workshop. I completely agree. It is a particular skill to make something that doesn’t exist look so good, and I’m a fan of the style too.
We love these kinds of workshops, so we will have more of this type of thing coming soon. In fact, this issue we have a great workshop by Tom Foster, on creating a traditional woodcut-style scene of a futuristic Japanese city. Not an animal (sorry) but I think it fits the bill for merging and blending styles and concepts. We love to showcase new techniques to help you increase your skills.
