What im learning at my SVA residency
-
@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 don’t 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 it’s 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?
-
@Adriana-Bergstrom heck no!
-
@Adriana-Bergstrom oh yeah im very aware of college funding my mom used to work As a bookkeeper for a college. You weren’t rude I love all the instructors and stagf, i was mainly commenting how it doesn’t go back into the school facilities as well as it could. Although to be fair sva has several buildings in prime manhattan spots so that’s probably very expensive on its own.
-
Finished the baba yaga sisters
Also made my postcards!
-
@Aleksey Love the postcard!
-
So i watched @Lee-White ’s video on loosening up with watercolor and ended up using hot pressed instead of cold pressed (ive never used water colors so this happened)
Then googled stuff and learned that i dont have to use as much water on hot pressed and frisket and peel the paper off so i just redid it ok a separate sheet and used the wet on dry Strategy and turned out ok! The sun beam isn’t part of the painting just the universe giving me praise
Next step is to slowly add textures with ink
-
@Aleksey Great sun beam, fitts really well on YOur water color picture
