Great video from a wonderful channel. Art books have provided me a much-needed escape from real life. When life was difficult I'd set up my easy chair with coffee, a desk lamp and a stack of art books beside me. They kept me going during the hardest times. My art books are the best investments I ever made. My 4 favorite books are: - Wonderworks by Michael Whelan - Legacy by Frank Frazetta - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

This was a great breakdown of your process. One thing that always surprises me when I watch things like this is that you will make some choices and I'll say "oh, I don't like that", but then 2 or 3 steps later it makes total sense and I can't imagine the painting without it. If I had done that first step I would have backed up and ended up shutting off that whole path. I guess that's just confidence that comes from experience. I do wonder if you had that whole plan in mind from the beginning or if you are just trying things and adapting as you go.
