In this issue, Ursula tells us about her messy studio, Nicole talks about keeping your creative fires burning when your life is crazy, Constanza interviews artist Rita Ria, and Missy gives us a walkthrough of a colored-pencil phoenix. In a guest feature, Jessica Douglas walks us through creating pale skin tone, also in colored pencil, and we have Indian-Mythology-themed poetry, art and comics. Read this issue!
