14, 20, AND 30

14 - an artist (of any kind) whose work you look forward to seeing

(mr krabs voice) MOAR

The only thing I regret about losing my twitter account is that it was a way for me to have all my favourite artists in one place, THOUGH I did manage to save some of their twitters - that said, please take a look at Saira Vargas’s  artwork!!! how people manage to create lineless art as beautiful as theirs is an enigma for me, and on top of that the poses and expressivity in their art makes me fuckin swoon. Their stuff is completely artgoals for me

20 - a skill you’ve picked up in the past few years

besides artsy stuff like gaining a better understanding of anatomy I’ve learned how to cook a variety of vegan and vegetarian burguers, with lentils, beans...and other stuff that’s super gross if you eat them alone

for more abstract abilities I think I’ve gotten better at distancing myself from my emotions and analyzing them apart from my thoughts - what causes them, if there’s a better response to the situation than the one my emotion tells me to do, etc

30 - a song that makes you want to have a boogie round your bedroom

YA LA CUMBIA COMENZO HAY QUE MOVER LOS PIES

Introduce yourself Hello! I am a university student studying geeky drawings and how to make them, sometimes including doodles of games like Night in the Woods, Stardew Valley, and, more recently, Maplestory 2. I love drawing cute beasts and other humanoid-monsters and their individual melodrama with routine. Also I worship chocolate covered raisins and hope that doesn't negate any cool thoughts you might've had about me until this sentence. When did you start drawing? Are you a digital or traditional artist? I started drawing about 3 years ago when I decided I wanted to pursue art as a career (and worked mad hard to build skills to feel "worthy"). I work mostly digitally, but I adore doing traditional work for sketches and conceptualizing. Do you use any traditional mediums? If so, which are your favorites? I'm very simple, I mostly just use graphite and the occasional markers and ink pens. I love cartoony looks, so it works well for me!

Why do you prefer traditional over digital? (or viceversa) I get a lot cleaner colors for digital and overall the crisper look I yearn for. I prefer to sketch things out traditionally sometimes, but digitally allows me to save multiple renditions of sketches for me to compare to very easily within the same file without mess or struggle with color picking/matching! I also adore the ranges of doing more dramatic lighting and comparing which I like better haha. What do you think is the most challenging part about being a traditional/digital artist? With digital art, it is harder to maintain loose sketches or lines. I hate using smoothing in Photoshop because of the inherent (and purposeful) lag that comes with it, but with the tablet I've got it's necessary or else the lines jitter insanely due to the nibs for the tablet not exactly working (especially since this isn't exactly a drawing tablet). On that same note, having your medium being expensive but durable (as opposed to traditional being over time) isn't the most convenient or adaptable. What inspires your pieces? Goofy mishaps in day-to-day life. When I or other friends tell silly, seemingly small stories about their day or my day I feel a melodramatic urge to be romantically artsy with their/my entertaining 5  to 20 seconds!

image source: [X]   Explain your "everyday" drawing process My first thoughts are usually "What would be bouncy fun" or "What's something this character would do odd in a normal situation" to at least get the ball rolling. If neither of those work for my goal then I ask what has happened to me or someone else similarly that I can draw from, and then I make 3 thumbnails. Do you have an artist you admire (or more than one)?

Saira Vargas (https://www.instagram.com/sairasays/) is a huge inspiration to me due to the fluidity of all of her character drawings. They all swoop the viewer in and follow them out of their form with amazing line-less grace I wish to have! Jewel Suan (https://www.instagram.com/swansgarden/) also has stunning art that conveys human body motion in such dramatic and silhouette-perfect ways, it's like feeling a good stretch! Is there an artwork you are most proud of? Why? I was in my first zine recently and I finished this piece https://www.instagram.com/p/BxHeJLUlfWq/ for it. I feel like I colored it exactly the way I want to continue doing so, and as something that matches my style. I was also really proud of the lineart being crisp, since I had struggled to find a brush that I was comfortable enough with the maintain a look like this. I did it within a couple of weeks, and though I'm disappointed I didn't try shading it very much, I love the overall mood and movement of it!

Do you listen to music (or tv shows/films/anything else) when drawing? I often listen to Jenna Marbles podcasts or video game soundtracks, such as Night in the Woods or Pokemon Colosseum!

image source: [X]   What makes art interesting for you? The fact I can make silly thoughts comprehensible in an organized way! Sometimes in a goof-infused organized way. What do you do when art block strikes? It's not often, but when this happens I try and take breaks so I can focus on my surroundings and genuinely absorb all the things I appreciate in life. This knocks me out of my funk, but I always take an extra minute to realize my art is from people whose hearts I love and remember it's not all for the art, but for those who watch/look at it, so I can make sure I don't forget the reason I make it. What’s the most valuable art advice you’ve ever received?

Make multiple iterations of everything you do! Your first idea will always suck, your second will have already been thought of, and your third can be the rock ready for polish.

This another personal ongoing project of mine. 

Inspired by :

the work of Saira Vargas

 Aaron Blaise

(Their expressive characters) 

I want to develop this to explore issues faced by people with different conditions-like these people the music people are unique and important in their own ways beautiful in their music, abilities and appearances. 

1

These preliminary  sketches were successful as they explore my initial thoughts under the question: What if music people existed?

I reflected  upon the struggles of certain characters. For example, would the violin girl struggle to sleep for fear of making noise?

However, I think that I could have made some gesture sketches for the man with a cymbal on his head to further expand upon the character.

2

Another planning sketch c- I explore the character of Piano man, who is able to touch surfaces and emit a piano sound, although I may develop this to envelope his entire body, so that he perhaps is the instrument himself.

Main Aim: To explore the piano man as a character.

Looks at : 

Expression

Body language

Texture

And creating an un-intimidating character.

This works because I explore his expression and costume in part, and experiment with his hands, as well as his face shape. It gives the impression that he is soft, and likeable as intended. 

But I know I need to further study anatomy in order to push my poses and expressions, and push the character design itself to involve the instrument throughout their entire design.

3

One of my recent outcomes:

Aims: 

To use shape language where I can to give the viewer insight into a character’s personality

This worked because I was able to create forms that expressed the character’s personality through expression, gesture, and costume, incorporating piano esque colours, the moustache reflecting the cymbal man’s experience versus the expression of Piano man, which represents his lack of experience and naivety. 

However, I think that some of the shapes are rather flat, and I would have liked to expand upon the characters by making them interact with one another.

Inspirations: 

Aaron Blaise, who is a former Disney animator who focuses on expression, and gesture which create convincing characters. 

I want to further expand my use both expression and gesture to push character design, and show the audience/ viewer aspects of character through my work.

Tan bonito que es cuando en cierto momento, no se si sea el destino o la vida misma... pero te coloca frente a personas que simplemente con verlas por primera o única vez, notas su luz y te das cuenta lo especiales que son o pueden llegar a ser para alguien y de cierto modo provocan ese sentimiento de estar cerca y querer conocerle tanto su inteligencia, su pensar asi como su esencia... Es de ese tipo de personalidades que cautivan, qué muy pocos tienen y qué todavía más poquitos notan. ¡Eso a mi me fascina!
