Just finished my book!  This book is called
"Making Light of the Situation"  Book 1: Skulls
and is a personal study on light and its interaction with shapes and a complete method on how to apply light sources to your own objects for illustrating.  In this book the object is skulls.

This project was a 300+ hour learning process
for me, and has OVER 100 SHADED SKULLS that were INDIVIDUALLY DRAWN by me for
reference.  Each of the 21 angles of the skull that I felt was appropriate for illustration, I show how to shade it from the top, maybe to place a candle on the head, from underneath to make an eerie scenery, left, right and straight on.  This book alone will give you a great deal of insight on how to shade not only skulls but almost all of your art.

This 80 page book also includes a mini photoshop tutorial on how to change your tones, light colors, hard lights, dark lights, overall hue of the skull, as well as how to create a color palette for those of you who wish to be more accurate with your color selections. 

LINE DRAWINGS INCLUDED

This book will be available through my website
and through Kingpin Tattoo Supply when it is
first launched.  Available the beginning of March
