Flying fantasy
Hi Rob. Having been a fan of his for so long I was grinning like a kid in a sweet shop when I saw you’d featured Grégory Fromenteau last month. I love odd fantasy art, especially when there are things flying that wouldn’t normally be, and he’s a real genius at that kind of art. I’d love to see some of my other favourites too. Maybe you could get Stephen Tappin in to do something? Eddie, via email
Rob replies Great to hear from you and wonderful to read that you enjoyed our big interview! Grégory really is a master of his craft and I totally get your love for flying fantasy art. I’m rather fond of that myself and a have a few favourites of my own that I’d love to get in the mag, like Ian Mcque. I’ve long been a fan of Stephen Tappin. His work is stunning and always manages to inspire me to work harder at my own art. I think you’re right and that he'd be a fantastic addition to an upcoming issue. Watch this space and we'll see if we can get him in!
There be dragons!
Hello Imaginefx, I’m an artist from Brazil and I try to include lots of tools to make my work easier and more varied, so it was really helpful to see the tutorial from Gaëlle Seguillon in last month’s issue. I’m no expert when it comes to 3D software, but I can see the benefits of using it and her advice was so useful for me. Please cover more of this and other similar tools in the future.

Rob replies Thanks for getting in touch Vítor! I’m so pleased that Gaëlle’s great workshop has helped you out. I couldn’t agree more that keeping a broad suite of tools and skills can be a real boon for an artist. As long as your fundamental skills are looked after, it doesn’t really matter what tools you use, whether it's brushes and paints or 3D and virtual reality, so we’ll definitely be covering some of these options in our upcoming issues.
Spectacular vehicles
Just a short note to say thank you and congrats. The last issue was great! That tutorial on drawing science fiction vehicles was just what I needed, as I’ve been struggling to know how I should approach things like the lenses on lights, and John’s explanation has really helped me nail it. Thanks again!

Rob replies Hi Barti. It’s great to hear from you and to know that John’s tutorial was of use. We always strive to help artists improve their skills and being able to call on such talent is a great way to do it. Keep your eyes peeled for more in future issues, or keep an eye later in this one for training on all sorts of topics, from the theory behind colouring your shadows to painting a Pokémon fan art piece.
