Books at a Glance

Various ACEO drawings ready to copy and colour Copyright Jennifer Rose Phillip

Some people might consider this cheating but I like having the basic composition drawn for the ACEOs that I do. Even if they are from a photograph its easier to have the image drawn the size you need it and then transfer it to your paper instead of stoping and starting over again once you have tried to fit it in the small space. At least this way if I can't find anything to draw I have line art ready to go when needed.

So I thought I would take some of the books I have been reading since I started writing them down, (sept, this year) and do a short little book review of them. Very short :p

• Tess of the d'urbervilles by Thomas Hardy Well that was depressing :/
• Alias Grace by Margaret Atwood bit of a mystery to this did she or didn't she story. I do think its interesting that no one really knows what happened to her in the end
  
• Eldest by Christopher Paolini Poor man's fantasy story? But can't stop reading it :p
• Seduced by Moonlight by Laurell K.Hamilton Can't go wrong with sex and faeries :p
• Fallen Skies by Philippa Gregory a bit different from the other books I have read by her, but still entertaining
• Desperation by Stephen King little evil stone carvings that make people go mad. Well thats the short short version
• Gerald's Game by Stephen King ok she is handcuffed to a bed and there might be a crazy killer on the loose and someone gets eaten by a dog. Honestly someone getting eaten by a dog was the most exciting part of this :/ the rest was just funny, and not funny in a good way

I didn't actually read a lot these past few months, been hard to find the time. I use to read a book a day, but have been trying to draw more then read :)
