Eric Messinger- Ep. 213

Mike shares a story about connections. Eric Messinger then joins the podcast to talk about his incredible charcoal and graphite fantasy art. Eric has a unique style and approach using abstract use of charcoal in prepping the paper for his characters to visit. He goes through his process and then Mike and Eric have a great discussion about paper and pencils. Eric uses an interesting approach to starting a fantasy piece and his homework will certainly involve all your senses :-) Dungeons and Dragons (Wikipedia)  Image Comics Handy app (iPad) Generals Charcoal pencil Kneaded eraser Blue tack Episode 48: Marek Badzynski on Urban Sketching Clutch pencils (Staedtler) Mars Lumograph Black Pencils Pentel Graphgear 1000 Blackwing Matte Pencil Tombow MONO The Myth of Talent - Eric Messinger on YouTube  ===== How to reach Eric Messinger ===== Instagram (@ericmessingerart) Eric on YouTube ===== How to reach Mike Hendley ===== MikeHendley.com Instagram @Mike_Hendley Twitter @MikeHendley Show notes at DrawingInspiration.fm ===== Want to Support the Podcast ??? ===== Become a patron of the show Rate and Review on Apple Podcasts Share the podcast with friends and family Podcast theme music is “Acid Jazz” By Kevin MacLeod (incompetech.com) Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 3.0 http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/ RIP Hal Sherman
