[oldenglishpoetry]

One of the most fascinating fairy stories ever written, by George MacDonald. Illustrations by Sendak are some of his very best (I'm generally less of a fan). Actually, this is not my book, and I need to give it back to its rightful owner! Tolkien connection (other than that he loved it): Tolkien wrote "Smith of Wootton Major" inspired by The Golden Key. Both share an inscrutable quality and a lot of moving story parts that seem (on first readings) unrelated. #georgemacdonald #thegoldenkey #mauricesendak #illustratedbooks #greatillustrators #fairystories #tolkien #smithofwoottonmajor #inklingsinspirations #greatauthors #fantasy #fairytales #victorianfantasy #bookstagram #bookstagrammer @saint_wulfram #saint_wulfram (at Nashville, Tennessee) https://www.instagram.com/p/BuOqThXAZ-j/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=nu43mb4fbk6s

A Digital Illustrators/Painters Thoughts

I know that I still have a long journey ahead of me when it comes to developing my digital illustration/painting skills. But one thing I do want to clear up is that a great digital painter is only great because they have a lot of energy in their work, they have a solid understanding of the human anatomy, and all their digital works are backed up with a unique story.
