Style development and you (x-posted from Runemoth account)
General | Posted 14 years agoI wrote up this post because I missed my style development panel at FC due to food poisoning. I was honored to ask to do it in the first place, and it was a huge disappointment to me to have to miss it. The idea that I could be considered an authority on this in any way is pretty crazy to me! I’m still developing my style, but I’ve picked up a solid bit of knowledge so far, and I’m happy to share it. So here’s pretty much what I was going to say at the panel.
It is a HUGE topic, so for now I’ve dropped the media specific stuff. If you get to the core of what’s required to develop your style, media actually matters very little. You can use professional grade paints and pigments, but note that it does nothing to make you a better artist. That is and always will be up to the hand and mind of the individual. It’s great to be passionate about your tools, but it does you no good to be elitist about them. It will only limit you as an artist. For example, Bill Sanchez, one of my teachers at the Academy of Art, was doing a demo. The charcoal kept snapping in his hand and he eventually had enough of it. He dragged his thumb along the now charcoal dust covered easel to coat it and proceeded to knock out a gorgeous figure study. With his THUMB. It struck me as incredibly badass and left quite an impression on me. Skill is in the mind and hand of the artist, always.
Obviously there are technical aspects you have to account for here and there, but there are a ton of tutorials out there on those specific things, and if anyone has any questions about anything I don’t cover, PLEASE feel free to ask! I am happy to help in any way possible.
Keep in mind that style is a deeply personal decision. My way is certainly not the only way, and if there’s anything here that doesn’t completely gel with your way of working that’s totally ok. In the end, you will develop the quickest if you stick with what feels right. Not EASY, mind you, but right. There is a large difference.
That said, there are a few facts that are absolutely constant no matter what style you are trying to develop, and here they are:
The only way in the whole wide world to get better at drawing is to DRAW. There is no magic pencil, no mystic pixie dust. Believe me, I’ve looked. XD
Every artist anywhere has a minimum of like… 10 million bad drawings in them. Best to start practicing now and constantly and get them out of the way! When you make a mistake, FIX it our FORGIVE it, but do not linger, always keep moving. Love all of your art, even the ugly pieces, because even they propel you forward as long as you make sure to learn from them. If you figure out why they don’t work, they actually push you forward more than your successful pieces.
Look to others for inspiration, and always try to keep your horizon as broad as possible. If you keep lofty goals, you will never stop improving. If you go about it trying to imitate a single person, all you will ever be is a dime store version of them. It will never come naturally to you, and frankly? It’s not something to be proud of.
Immerse yourself in art, artists, ANY material that inspires you. Learning to draw is like learning a new language, the best way to do that is to surround yourself with it and the culture it comes from. Taking in everything helps you identify what you like and don’t like aesthetically, it ensures that you will always have ideas to draw on, and you will constantly be shaping your own unique style. Look at it like vivisection, analyze why you like the things you like, ask yourself exactly WHY it works for you. Just as important and often overlooked , study people that don’t do it for you, analyze exactly why it doesn’t!
On effective ways to use reference – First, when referencing, decide what your goal is. Do you want to study gesture? Value? Color? If you pick to focus on one element at a time, you’ll learn more effectively.
A good exercise is to study your chosen reference for about 30 seconds, taking in key points, then put it away and draw from memory.
For gesture drawings, I highly recommend noting the angles of the head, shoulders and hips, those are reliable landmarks. If it’s value or color, separate those into shapes and block them in. The exercise is an effective way to teach yourself to make very quick, solid decisions.
If you are hitting a wall with certain subjects or specific poses, there is another exercise you can try, which is tracing. Now, HEAR ME OUT. Because the last thing I need is for this to be taken out of context.
It should ONLY be used as an exercise, meant to accommodate for the fact that our eyes sometimes interpret shapes and angles differently from what is really there. Often times we feel we know what something looks like, so we make assumptions without really considering and measuring what is in front of us. If you approach it with the proper mindset, you will feel the shape, length and direction of each line, which ingrains itself to muscle memory. Again, ONLY meant to be used as an exercise you do on the side, you should then take the acquired knowledge into your freehanded art.
If you are just starting out, I highly recommend referencing from life until you feel very comfortable. Simply jumping in with references heavily stylized work has the potential to cripple you. It’s very important to draw from life when you’re starting out, that way you have a solid grasp as to why the artists you will eventually reference made the decisions that they do.
It will come to a point where studying from life will become a way of measuring what you need more practice in. At that point, if you find that you’re having trouble, go look at the work of artists that you’re into and see how they solved the problems that you are currently having. It’s been my personal experience that if you only ever draw from life and NEVER look at others work, you run the risk of making the same mistakes in your work over and over again.
When you are first starting out, your work will be very unoriginal. That’s completely normal. It means that once you do get to the level where you can start developing your own style, there will be a level of sophistication to it because you took the time to break your back practicing the basics, and it’ll be coming from a heavily researched place.
I also VERY highly recommend familiarizing yourself with the psychology of color and shape. These are both HUGE subjects that I will only be able to touch upon. Circles are associated with cuteness, friendliness, implies that something is soft and harmless. Reds are obviously associated with anger, dominance, and even devouring. You’ll notice that almost all fast food logos ever incorporate the color red. It supposedly induces hunger. And the reason donut boxes are pink is that when tested, people will swear the same donuts taste better out of a pink box than a white one. So for whatever reason, it tricks people into thinking that something is more appealing and desirable. Triangles, with their sharpness tend to imply that something is dangerous and quick. Squares imply a character that is stable and steadfast. Obviously there are exceptions, which is why it’s great to research stuff like this so you can learn how to effectively break the rules.
Onto the art slumps that people feel they hit as they go along… there’s simply no such thing. Not in my opinion, anyway. I believe it is the disconnect between your hand and your mind. Sometimes your mind will make leaps and bounds forward artistically. Maybe you saw some kickass work and you leveled up in your head, which leaves your hand in the dust. It hasn’t had the chance to practice what your mind has taken in. You physically have not caught up yet, so all of a sudden it feels like you’re not performing well, that your art is coming out worse. The good news is that all you have to do to fix this is to draw, draw, DRAW.
Now maybe you feel the art slump also includes a lack of “inspiration”. I put quotes around that for a reason, and I’ll get to that in a bit. What you may need to do is stop thinking about what you want to make, and start thinking about what you want to SEE. What do you seek out in other artists and illustrators? Be that for yourself!
That doesn’t work for you? Get a junk ass sketchbook and start drawing from life. In PEN. Figure studies, hands, feet, anything you usually avoid or feel that you’re bad at. IN PEN. One sketch doesn’t go well? Look at what you did wrong, what line you tipped just a little too far in or out or WHATEVER and do it over again. Do it as fast as you can, try to see how fast you can go and still keep it coherent. Do it slow and see how much detail you can pack in. Over and over and over. In art it is always ALWAYS better to do it poorly than not at all. If you are attempting hands, feet, whatever and they’re dragging down the piece, you are still doing better than the person hiding the hands and feet, no matter how great the face is. You will NEVER do something well until you have done it poorly.
On the topic of inspiration, know this. YOUR ART WILL NEVER CHASE YOU. EVER. So you are just going to have to HAUL ASS after it. Inspiration is for amateurs. Anyone serious about their art just gets to work. The coolest thing about just buckling down and getting to it is that you will find that ideas grow from the work itself. Things start occurring to you as you go along. You will try something, but then reject it in favor of something else you just thought of, pushing it in another, stronger direction that would not have occurred had you sat around waiting for the lightning bolt. Always remember, the only difference between you and that amazing artist you admire is thousands of hours of back breaking hard work. Which should be great news, as anyone can be hard headed and work crazy hard! So get out there and DRAW! :D

FC apologies
General | Posted 14 years agoTo those that looked for our table on saturday, and who were awesome enough to try to go to my panel on sunday, I am so sorry. 
vrass woke up hella sick with food poisoning saturday morning. I felt ok enough to drive 
savannahhorrocks to the con and then went home to take care of him... and then promptly started barfing myself. D:
We are doing much better now, though our insides are a little raw still, haha.
Since I didn't get to do the panel on sunday, I'm going to go ahead and organize my notes and make a nice solid post about the stuff I was going to cover on style development and traditional media. It will possibly be a small series of posts, as both of those subjects are enormous. So if anyone has any questions, feel free to post them here!

Comic update delayed due to FC!
General | Posted 14 years agoHey everyone!
Sorry about the last minute heads up, but I am going to be at Further Confusion this weekend, and while I will be commuting from home, I won't have the time to update the comic this week.
If you're going to be there, you can find me and vrass in the dealer's room at table 71. I'll be attending vrass's speedpainting panel on friday at 3, and I'll have a panel myself on style development on sunday at 5.
Comic updates will resume next week. :)

Style development panel at FC: what would you like to learn?
General | Posted 14 years agoI'm going to be holding a panel on the subject of developing your style with real media at FC this year! It will be held on Sunday at 5pm in the Marriott.
From this point on I'll be referring to it as traditional media, as I have a great deal of respect for digital media, and feel that the expertise and work required to excel in it makes it every bit as real as any physical media.
I also feel the need to say that style development isn't actually about any specific media. It's about the individual and the very personal decisions they make, and a lot of my presentation will reflect that. However, I have a good deal of experience with various traditional media, so if you have any specific questions now I would love for you to comment with them here. :)
A good bit of my traditional media pieces can be found at this account -
runemoth
It's a VERY large subject and your questions will help me pick out what specific points to focus on and assure that attendees get the most out of the panel.
In the panel, I'll be covering things like shapes and how they relate to archetypes, most effective uses of reference to train muscle memory, and why art slumps aren't real. I'll also be holding a demo on my general process, which is in mixed media.
You can get some idea of how that will go with these posts, which cover my process...
http://chasingthewisp.tumblr.com/po.....-from-start-to
http://chasingthewisp.tumblr.com/po.....-heres-another
In general, it will be filled with info that I wish I had been told as I attended art school, as it would have made me into a more effective artist earlier on in my career. I have since learned all this on my own while working in the field.
I am putting together an essay of all the info I'm compiling for this panel. So if you can't make it, never fear, I will be posting it online after the con. :)

switching up comic page schedule
General | Posted 14 years agoI recently got a staff job as a graphic designer, and it's going to be keeping me busy during the day. This is a great thing, but it does mean that I have to change the schedule for comic page posts.
So now, pages will only go up every Friday, but they will be in batches of two or three! So there's really no change to how much of the story you'll be getting per week. :)

should I use this account for my webcomic? (edit: YES. XD)
General | Posted 14 years agoIt has its own website (http://glowingraptor.com/elysionage/), but is it the sort of thing that you'd be more likely to read if I post it here at FA?
I've been wanting to drum up more of a following for it, and I'm wondering if posting the pages directly to FA would be a decent way to do it.
Thoughts and opinions?
(Edit: First, thanks a bunch to the people who responded so quickly! I appreciate the feedback. For those that don't think it's such a hot idea, you'll want to go ahead and de-watch me. I'll begin posting Elysion Age here within the next couple of days.)
