Sinopsis

“We have more to learn from animals than the animals have to learn from us.” - Anthony Douglas Williams

Animals are fascinating drawing subjects for most artists. Drawing lively animal portraits brings with it another level of excitement, not to mention challenges, such as bringing out that mischievous spark in a dog’s eyes or that vicious promise of impending violence in a lion’s eyes. The facial proportions of the animals, the fur or the pattern of scales on their bodies are yet other challenges difficult to master.

Not anymore.

In this book, you will learn how to draw expressive and lively portraits of a range of animals, from your humble house pets to vicious forest dwellers.

Sustainability - Pathways to a...

Jeron Iris

At its core, sustainability strives for harmony between the environment, society, and economy, ensuring that each of these areas is addressed in ways that do not compromise the others. 
  
In the environmental context, sustainability involves careful management of natural resources to ensure that ecosystems remain viable for generations to come. This includes minimizing waste, reducing pollution, and encouraging the responsible use of land, water, and energy resources. Rather than overexploiting resources for short-term gain, sustainable practices aim to maintain or restore the natural balance, ensuring that the resources will continue to be available and capable of supporting life in the future. 
  
Economically, sustainability promotes the efficient use of resources to create systems that are resilient and able to support long-term prosperity. It encourages businesses and industries to integrate environmental and social considerations into their financial strategies. By focusing on long-term gains instead of short-term profits, sustainable economic practices seek to create an economy that can thrive without causing harm to the environment or society. This often involves adopting technologies and methods that reduce costs and create value without depleting resources or harming ecosystems.

Thank you, Dale, for writing this book to help us on the journey." —Angela Myles Beeching, author of Beyond Talent: Creating a Successful Career in Music

Dale Trumbore has faced each of these issues, and Staying Composed: Overcoming Anxiety and Self-Doubt Within a Creative Life is her answer. With humor and understanding, Dale breaks down each obstacle to a creative career and presents workable strategies for a long-range, manageable, and meaningful life in the arts.
