Draw And Colour the Baylee Jae Way by Baylee Jae

As an insanely talented artist I follow myself on YouTube, Baylee is a top artist to see produce such stunning drawings and artwork all the time.

This book includes your basics from selecting the right pens and tools to tips on gaining some inspiration and drawing the basic human face and form in varying ways complete with a colour theory chart and tips on creating more light or dark characters with certain colours blended together and outlining advice again with the right non smudgable ink pens.

The book features pop art, manga style drawings Baylee has created which are all super colourful and vibrant in a rainbow of colours proving her amazing talents as an artist.

I highly recommend this book if you love art or want to develop your techniques further.

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!

Wild Embers by Nikita Gill

From one of our greatest modern day poets, we get a complete new set of poems about love, trauma and mental illness as well as the magic and wonder of the world being thought about through these works too we also see a spin on the idea of self worth with a back and forth narrative in some poems on the idea of arguing and disagreeing with how we see ourselves and the male vs female divide in the world around attitudes surrounding modern life.

The poetry addresses many topics from abuse to love in varying forms which will make you feel moved as we read on through these accounts and hear a spin on Disney princesses stories too which was pleasant and unexpected.

A fantastic new collection by Nikita Gill once again!

Many thanks to the publishers for allowing me to review this book for them!
