What im learning at my SVA residency
-
Herss another one. Its done on smooth bristol. Anyone have experience with using watercolor on bristol paper? Is it fine?
-
@Aleksey I see we went with slippers on baba yaga
-
@Braden-Hallett regular shoes haha once they said theres gonna be a gallery showing of all the student work i was like oh crap.
-
@Aleksey Dude, it looks really good! The toes actually didn't look bad at all (though I totally understand your motive to go with the shoes instead )
-
Heres the colored baba yaga house
Also spoke with an art director that looked at my portfolio and recommended i go into visual development specifically because i can draw little items and character concepts well. This made me feel so good
-
Good exercise for comic writing!
3 random words from a bag you make a 6 panel comic from. It could be anything itβs fun practice to get your brain to just do something random. There was an hour timer.
-
@Aleksey I like that exercise. I will have to try it sometime. Yours came out pretty good.
-
@theprairiefox thanks it was fun i may do another one for funsies
-
@Aleksey That method of generating comics might make for an interesting community challenge!
-
@Braden-Hallett yeah it might be! I've been very busy as you can see and cant post anything community wise right now i dont even think i can do the godzilla one even thuoght i really wanted to draw godzillas mom with a slipper or a rolling pin wearing an apron and hair curlers.
-
Inspiring stuff. love your ink work and your comics, it should be in a museum!
-
@Aleksey it would probably take me an hour to come up with an idea let alone draw it. Great job. I like this style you are doing.
-
@Jorge-Valentin Hahaha Hahaha I needed that laugh thank you for the compliment though
-
@demotlj well I came up with cup and candle first, I thought what if they were on a table? Where would the camel go in? I donβt wanna spend an hour drawing a camel. Then I thought how can I imply it. And a letter on a desk was the easy solution. (This is how my brain works)
-
Ok whew here are all the ones I managed to finish today.
- Baba Yaga on a hog / Catherine the great lobular adaptation
- The 3 Baba Yaga sisters and the thread the heroes always follow through the woods
- My editorial assignment for apples affects on transportation (has to do with the Apple car)
- My exlibris
- A philanthropic poster (was very tired by this point...so itβs fine.
-
I am so tiredd
-
@Aleksey can imagine! You've done so much And each one is detailed with a story attached. Thank you for sharing - very motivating to see. What do you to unwind?
-
@Qi Un..wind? whats this word?
kidding
I usually watch anime and draw for myself silly things or get some froyo or go hang out with my gf or her pets. -
(not trying to be rude @Aleksey, but the adjunct faculty and at least the untenured profs aren't the ones getting paid the big bucks. Most of the money goes to the administrators. RISD was the same way. Some of the facilities were well maintained - Industrial Design for example - but the FAV area was really run down when I was there.)
-
@Aleksey The final groups look great! Your inking looks super balanced and well-thought out. Are you able to hand-letter the Desmond Tutu quote for that extra touch?
