Hi everybody, Hope this reaches you in good health and I hope you're getting in a few weekly sessions of drawing. You've probably noticed a small gap in the arrival with the latest caricature - for that I'm sorry. I'm dealing with a pesky email problem - it's almost worked out, (happened when I loaded upgraded software from the Spring Internet World convention and the programs started stepping all over each other). I've had a window of clear sailing the last 48 hours or so. I took that opportunity to upload the latest (and last) of Version One's final two sections on dealing with highlight and shadow. (See links below.) I'm pretty proud of them - please give me your unbiased feedback. It's always honored and appreciated. Getting these two sections finished gives me the opportunity to give all my attention to the case studies - the actual caricature lessons. And that's what you came here for in the first place, right? I'll have more time to draw and that's pretty exciting to me since I've had about one day a month to draw since I began this project...three years ago! But not so fast... This next month we'll be doing a gang of re-editing and we'll be redoing the packaging - you'll be able to download the entire e-book to your hard drive. No more download waits, no more of those annoying pop-up password windows (which I think are all fixed as of this morning). I'll keep you posted. So check out the new pages, if you have any drawing questions, thoughts about how to stay motivated in your drawing pursuits, or interesting links you think other members would benefit from, please pass them to me so I can pass them on. One last thing. I have to run off to Minneapolis for a rather sudden business meeting this week, so I'll be owing you both the caricature and the communique when I get back. Thanks so much for your patience and your patronage. Warmly, Jeff PS, the first two links are to the new pages: http://ycdinsiders.digitalchainsaw.com/InsidersArtistLoft/crosshatch.htm http://ycdinsiders.digitalchainsaw.com/InsidersArtistLoft/lightlogic.htm Master link section of Light and Shadow: http://ycdinsiders.digitalchainsaw.com/InsidersArtistLoft/shadowmaster.htm
