Misko wooden blind-box figure set, mix & match

Nathan Jurevicius/Kidrobot, 2011

(I love these. I have the yellow and the turquoise one, I'm pretty sad that I only found out about them years after they were in stores.)

how do you get your art to look the way it does I am so interested in your style atm!

awh thank uuu :)

it's a mix of select and fill and vector layers which i started to understand a bit better and they are becoming a little less annoying to keep track of. lineless art with crisp edges

ummm other than that i've just been very inspired by artists like Junko Mizuno, Mizna Wada and as of recently Nathan Jurevicius mostly a lot of their old stuff but every they've made of what i've seen is so good!

among many other things...

The Tower. Art by Nathan Jurevicius & Andrea Kang, from PicTarot.

revelation, radical change, true liberation

A multitude of owls, of meanings and opinions, neatly stacked one on top of the other, to form The Tower. Their collective wisdom is profound, and their collected eyes stare outwards, look inwards and fix you in their gaze. This is the moment of revelation, which will open the way to radical change. Sever yourself from ideals and ideas that are stifling you. Free yourself from false beliefs and overcome constraints – no matter what the consequences.

Butts & Conté

Over the last couple of summers, when it was nice and sunny outside, my friend Kathryn Durst and I have had the pleasure of organizing costume life drawing sessions in Kathryn’s backyard.

These events were a lot of fun. Many of our talented friends came to draw with us. We had snacks and music playing, and a costumed model doing short poses for us animation folk.

Usually in October it would already be too cold to draw outside, but we were lucky to be able to host our Halloween sessions at Clay and Paper theatre, as well as Darren Leu’s Creature Creating space.

We would like to thank everyone who came to our sessions, and everyone that contributed, as well as our talented models. Thank you!!

In the winter months, we usually stay inside, drink tea and focus on our work.

If you live in Toronto and are interested in our sessions, follow our Facebook page for updates: https://www.facebook.com/buttsandconte/

Here’s some art from our sessions, featuring work from Dylan Glynn, Kathryn Durst, Seo Kim, T-wei, Sarah Ball,  and I. There’s more on the Facebook page!

I saw the trailer months ago, but never thought I’d actually get to see this short. It’s just as awesome as I hoped! It’s by the same guy behind the Scarygirl project (which I think will be adapted into a movie).

Week 11, November 15

This week I honestly was so beyond burnt out! I had two bio exams this week, one of which I most definitely failed, and I haven't slept more than 4 hours or eaten an actual meal in like two weeks (don't report me to caps I'm like managing lol). This is becoming my ranting space each week so I apologize. Anyways, I was excited about where my creative research was going last week, and I wanted to explore more character designs so that's where I started. This is based off of a stuffed animal that Arianna has and I am obsessed with him so this is what I made...

Creative Research

I'm like obsessed with this little guy, and I love him so much. I am really enjoying making these characters and brainstorming how they would look in my graphic novel/children's book for adults situation. I'm not sure which character I like more; one from last week or this week. Next week, I am going to build off of one of the characters and develop it more.

Scholarly Research

For scholarly research this week, I wanted to research how to do character design because I've never actually done this lol. I wanted to learn how to know what features to maximize/minimize in order for expressions to be easily readable and visible without the character being too busy.

27 Top Character Design Tips by Rosie Hilder

This article is packed full of information (27 tips) for character design, and I feel like this is super helpful for me and really cleared some things up. Some of the major things I have taken away include the following

"Exaggerating the defining features of your character design will help it appear larger than life. Exaggerated features will also help viewers to identify the character's key qualities. Exaggeration is key in cartoon caricatures and helps emphasize certain personality traits. If your character is strong, don't just give it normal-sized bulging arms, soup them up so that they're five times as big as they should be."

"Think about your audience. Character designs aimed at young children, for example, are typically designed around basic shapes and bright colours. If you're working for a client, the character's target audience is usually predetermined, as Aussie artist Nathan Jurevicius(opens in new tab) explains."

"When embarking on a new character design, Haymoz likes to start by finding the individual's posture. This element can start the ball rolling on the whole feel of the personality. "I try to capture the stance of the character. Are they hunched over, or are they sitting straight and proud?" She also notes the face is important to get right."

These all will be super helpful tips as I continue to progress my character design and I will definitely continue to refer back to this article.

What is Character Design — Tips on Creating Iconic Characters. by Kyle Deguzman

This article covers what character design is and what it consists of, and the purpose of character design. It covers silhouette, exaggeration, and palette, and then it talks about the character design process and how to go about creating an original character. This article is super helpful and I will definitely be referencing back to it, it includes videos that explain everything as well which is super nice because I'm tired of reading :)

Gary Baseman

I love this man.

Gary Baseman is the effing creator of Cranium. He is an LA-based creator who "explores the 'beauty of the bittersweetness of life' through painting, performance, film, and fashion". I am in love with his illustrations and creations- I feel like his characters are so expressive, yet simple at the same time. There is the perfect balance of chaos and simplicity. I'm thinking I'm going to reach out to him and try to set up a zoom call or a phone call to see if I can talk to him about his inspiration and design process.
