Conventions:
I just finished attending 10 of 10 UK comic conventions over the last 10 months. A great experience, which I hope to write more about in the near future.
Chatted with loads of great people over the course including Deviantartists:
(sorry if I missed anyone out)
Was great to meet so many artists all doing their own thing and making the effort to put themselves out there
Currently plans are to slow it down- attending two or three cons a year unless I decide to create more con-friendly artwork, i.e. fan art to make it financially worth my while.
How-To Books:
* 'Digital Manga' is available on my website at www.benkrefta.com/shop : An in-depth tutorial book teaching virtually everything I know about Photoshop and colouring characters.
* 'The Artist's Guide to Drawing Manga' will also be available at the end of August : A beginners guide to manga and character creation. It's effectively an updated version of my older book 'The Art of Drawing Manga'.
With, 67,000 words of written content across both books, I'd like to think there's at least something in there that most artists could benefit from and enjoy
Art Related:
* Looking to do more sketching and produce more personal artwork over the coming year. I don't feel as though I devote as much time to my artwork as I should at the best of times and would like to change that and execute some of the ideas that have been rattling around in my head for years!

Digital Manga : Tutorial Book
For artists interested in learning digital colouring and character creation with Photoshop, check out my latest book- 'Digital Manga'.
I’ve wanted to create a book on how I colour my character art for years. Last year I pitched the idea to my publisher and began work on the project. It was published in 2014. With around 40,000 words of written content and 400 images and screen captures, the 160 page guide contains over double the content of my previous 144 page 'Art of Drawing Manga' title and IMO is a far superior book all-round.
There are so many aspiring anime, comic fans and artists who want to learn how to get great digital resul

THANKS:
First I want to say a big thanks to everyone who checks out my page and comments on my art. I really appreciate it! Although I don't always have time to thank everyone individually for their comments, I like to read them- it's very cool! ^_^
Art Trade Status:
I decided to take on a few Trades at the end of last year to help get me back into drawing. It's fun, but still owe a few people art and vice-versa.
