Max's Workshop

[Godzirra]

Max, You are amazing. I would like to discuss a commission with you. The contact form on your website was not working for me.

This is great stuff. I find it personally very inspiring, in that it makes me envious of your skill and your eye for detail and composition.

Did you have professional training, btw.? Went to a school of arts or something? Or did you teach yourself?

Thanks much guys, glad you like it !
Lhannag, actually I came to cartography and drawing pretty late so I didn't have the chance to study art in school and I taught myself (well I'm still doing it anyway )

[Llannagh]

You definitely are talented!

Same thing here, I'm just now learning to draw, being in my mid-thirties, but I guess things happen when they happen! C'est la vie, right?
Anyway, I need to sit down and bring up the patience and tenacity to learn how to draw things like the bridge you did there, that's just fantastic. I'm kind of glad you taught/are teaching yourself, that gives me hope and you another level of respect.

Thanks again for giving insight into your working process, this has definitley been of help to me.
