Illustrating Characters

By Anonymous
Usually after I finish a book I enjoyed, I like to go onto Pinterest to look for fan art. These five pieces are fan art of a book series called "The Raven Cycle" by Maggie Stiefvater. They are done by an artist called Phantom Rin, and if you have read the books you would know that these drawings capture the characters very well. I think it would be an interesting project to do in Illustrator or Photoshop painting: taking a character from a book, movie, or tv show and creating a drawing that captures the personality, description, or likes/dislikes of the character. Also, I think it would help with learning/practicing how to capture a story in a drawing by having to describe the character in a single picture.

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/
