Yeah I've been there, it was my main inspiration to choose CalArts!
Congrats on the Wacom, seems like your working really hard at getting into this CalArts place and I really hope you get in.
Thanks Nayhan! That means a lot!
muscles are more important than bones to study in anatomy. If you're looking at facial structure the best book I've seen is The Artist's Complete Guide To Facial Expressions, by Gary Faigin. It explains how the facial muscles work and what happens when your expression changes.
Yeah that's true. The only reason I'm studying bones is to get a much better overall understanding. I have a bit of trouble placing muscles and I think if I figure out the bones and how the muscles are connected to them It might make it easier for me. Thanks for the book recommendation, I'll see if my library has a copy next time I go!
That's a very nice Norman Mclaren quote in your thread signature, I'm going to use that and look all clever! :D
Haha, but then how will I feel special?

Thanks Xeptic! It really surpised me, I thought Tom was done with Wacoms since December was over.
