Hello all, this week I wanted to share with you some of the background paintings used in my favorite movie, Kiki's Delivery Service. This movie was a Studio Ghibli film made back in 1989, directed by Hayao Miyazaki. I decided to dedicate my blog post to this not only because it has personal meaning to me, but also because the art for it is simply breath taking, just look at it!! Something that I really love about animation is that studios will often merge traditional mediums with the animation. These backgrounds are hand painted, and I think that it really gives the films their own individual atmosphere and tone, especially when mixed with the beautiful soundtracks composed by Joe Hisaishi. 
I'll just drop this song here as a bonus to my ridiculously long post... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OJbkkibYA54
If you ever want to relax, I highly recommend listening to some of his music!!

    I love the outlines of shapes, especially when they're done in white, it gives the image an in interesting, almost disconnected feeling.

    I love how these are actually painted with precise detail in every object. It makes it even more interesting and breadth taking!

This is my last blog post for my senior year, so I'd like to say that I am so glad I took DMA classes throughout high school. I've learned so much and I wouldn't be where I am today without my experiences in the classes. I will be attending the Savannah College of Art and Design this coming fall and I couldn't be more excited. I'm thinking about majoring and working in the film industry, however, I will be pursuing all and any forms of art in the future as well. From a fellow artist: take the opportunities that you are given and work hard doing what you love.

Speed Painting

By
This a painting made in Photoshop by a guy who goes by the name " The Concept Painter " on Youtube. He does lots of Photoshop speed painting videos and also air brush videos. This particular painting took him 3.5 hours to complete and was made using a drawing tablet similar to the ones we use in our class.

Another Comic Book Artist (Woo!): Annie Wu

By Anonymous
 If you have talked to me for more than one minute, I am a huge nerd. So, I am making another post about comic book artists. This time it's Annie Wu. She's a comic book artists who lives in Chicago, and is one of my inspiration artists for my sustained investigation. A lot of her work is dramatic with deep and dark lines with bold colors which is makes style perfect for where I first found her work. I first saw her work in the Black Canary book in 2017. Eventually, I will talk about Marvel comic book artists, but not today. If you want to check out more of her work, here is her website:  https://www.anniewuart.com/
