Colin (Xiaomeng) Zhang has always had a keen interest in art. However, science fiction movies captured his imagination, and he started to imitate scenes and characters he saw in those films. He attended the Academy of Art in San Francisco to conduct his own comprehensive art research. It was a valuable opportunity to meet creatively talented artists with similar interests. After graduating from university, he worked in animation, video game development, and as a graphic designer. His love for digital painting is reflected in his creativity. He uses his spare time to paint and study different styles of artistic creation. In the subsequent work, his ideas often brought unexpectedly desirable results for his company. His work has been presented in several art magazines. Colin continues to innovate his artistic creations and provide his freelance clients with high-quality illustration services. Colins is the winner for "The Phantom Carnival" of Illustrators of the Future from L. Ron Hubbard Presents Writers of the Future Volume 38 ,
Darren Thompson Jr is a digital artist born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland. Specializing in photography and digital painting, Darren's work focuses on color and how it relates to the image. His interest lies in the relationship between color and image and how it will convey visually to the viewer. For example, is the viewer more drawn to the color or the aesthetic of the image itself. The figurative fight for dominance between image and color is what intrigues him, but ultimately he strives to achieve balance between the two. Also, with his photography work, he captures photos of objects/surfaces that people overlook and turn them into works of art. Anything, with a unique texture or shape, his iPhone camera lens is on it. Darren's art journey started at a very young age, but in his teen years he began to lose interest, only to regain his love for art in his freshman year of college. Darren graduated Towson University with a B.F.A in Digital Art + Design. After graduating, Darren started his professional career in 2016, creating digital paintings in Photoshop. In 2018, he transitioned to capturing colorful and vibrant flower photography, which led to his abstract photography style in 2019. Being in numerous art shows and exhibitions, Darren's artwork has been shown in art exhibitions in D.C, Virginia, Louisiana, Michigan, and Texas. In late 2021, Darren started participating in pop-ups shops and festivals. Throughout those events he learned that children love and gravitate to his artwork. Darren strives to inspire and bring joy to both children and adults with his art.

Episode: 3264 David Hockney, Digital Painting, and Art's Technophobia. Today, painting with pixels, in the hands of a master.
In this episode we shared drinks and deep, meaningful conversation with Alyssa and Naphtali Marshall. At minimum, Naph is an award-winning digital designer and creative branding expert, and Alyssa is an e-commerce entrepreneur and stay-at-home mom boss with their three girls. They've also seen satisfaction in many creative endeavors throughout their marriage including photography, music, web design, and more. But it's not their resume we wanted to talk about most with them. What we loved most about our conversation with the Marshall's was their willingness to share how they processed their grief as a couple while their oldest daughter went through cancer treatment. We talked about using creativity as an outlet for grief, processing trauma as a couple versus individually, finding your why in your work, the importance of supporting each other's goals and sacrifices, and learning to balance work and family. This conversation felt really special. The intersection of immense grief and creativity is sacred, and it was an honor to “go there” with these friends. Whether cancer has touched your life in some way or not, this episode gives great perspective on suffering of any kind and the value from creating from suffering. If you are an entrepreneur, this conversation is also full of insights and advice on running your business as it pertains to social media and the process of dreaming and goal-setting with your partner.

Als von Ipad, Procreate & Co nicht einmal zu Träumen war, hat der Kölner Writer Biatsch One bereits seine ersten digitalen Sketches mit dem Finger (!) auf seinem Handy gemalt. Das selbsterklärte Computerkind der 90er war auch schon lange vor seiner ersten Sprühdose mit Photoshop der ersten Generation zugange und so verwundert es nicht, dass er auch beim aktuellen Thema „Digital Graffiti“ von Anfang am Start war.Dabei ging für den professionellen Graffitikünstler und Grafiker zunächst alles mit der Rapmusik los. Als Mc und Produzent gab es schon bald die ersten Achtungserfolge mit seiner Crew Bezirk Zwo. Aber die Liebe zu den Buchstaben war groß, und so hat er neben der Musik mit seinem Graffiti-Partner Abe One kontinuierlich an seinem Style gearbeitet.Heute ist Bezirk Zwo („Agentur für Subkultur“) eine renommierte Medienagentur, die ihren Kunden neben klassischem Auftragsgraffiti ein breites Angebot an medialen Dienstleistungen anbietet. Biatsch erzählt uns in entspannter Atmosphäre die Geschichte seines Werdegangs und auch seine Styleentwicklung wird auf dem Seziertisch einmal genau unter die Lupe genommen.Und wer es einrichten kann, sollte sich seine aktuelle Ausstellung „Zombie Mode“ auf keinen Fall entgehen lassen. Vom 17.-19. September könnt ihr seine Arbeiten im Café Hubert in Köln bewundern. Wir sehen uns bei der Vernissage!

The evolution of technology brings rise to new art forms and opportunities for artists to express themselves. Kit Clarke is an artist and designer from Nelson, BC who explores many mediums from painting, fashion design, and digital art. With the help of digital tools, Kit has brought her paintings to life in a whole new way with performative digital live painting and VJing. Inspired by the divine feminine she translates metaphors, philosophies and spiritual visions in her art through soft colours and woodland creatures. Seeing her art live for the first time at Elevate Music Festival was astounding, and hearing her talk all about her work was truly inspiring. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------Modern Earth is available on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you find your podcasts.Become a patron of Modern Earth for as little as 2$ a month on:www.patreon.com/MODERNEARTHSupport the show with a one-time donation through PayPal:https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=YYAUPVKGNX9B4Follow us at:Instagram.com/MODERNEARTHPODTwitter.com/MODERNEARTHPODContact us at:MODERNEARTHPOD@gmail.com----------------------------------------------------------------------------Find Kit Clarke on:Website: http://delakiit.com/Instagram: @delakiitPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/delakitMore Links: https://linktr.ee/delakiit----------------------------------------------------------------------------Amazon Links CANADA:Oculus Quest 2 - https://amzn.to/3fdANQHAmazon Links USA:Oculus Quest 2 - https://amzn.to/3oH8fSF----------------------------------------------------------------------------More links from the episode:Procreate Digital Drawing App:https://procreate.art/Elevate Music Festival:https://www.facebook.com/Elevate-Music-and-Art-Gathering-112654523615240Tilt Brush:https://www.tiltbrush.com/Tilt Brush Gallery: https://poly.google.com/Burning Man:https://burningman.org/Shambhala Music Festival:https://shambhalamusicfestival.com/Resolume:https://www.resolume.com/The Royal Nelson:https://www.theroyalnelson.com/Hand Particle:https://sidequestvr.com/app/2012/handparticle----------------------------------------------------------------------------Theme music by RY P BEATS.

In the midst of 2020 lockdown, going a little bit crazy with nothing to do (and no way to service my clients), I thought it would be a brilliant idea to learn how to do digital painting. It seemed like the perfect extra service to offer my clients - gorgeous artwork that could be created even after their pets had passed.Excitedly, I bought myself a wacom tablet and enrolled in a digital painting course, ready to become the next Vincent Van Dog.Well. It was not nearly as easy as I had hoped it would be - that skill takes some serious practice! I'm a little embarrassed to admit that after a month or so, I put down wacom pen in defeat. My dreams of offering digital painting as a secondary revenue stream to my clients were quietly retired - until we heard about Lesley Davidson and her ghost painting service with the Painterly Portrait.Tune into this latest interview episode to find out everything you want to know about digital painting for pet photographers - whether it's Lesley's best tips for learning yourself, how you can hire a “ghost painter” if (like me) you're not a digital painter and in the extended episode we brainstorm different ways that you could successful integrate this service into your existing business model. in THE EXTENDED EPISODE:* Session and pricing ideas for introducing digital painting to your pet photography businessLINKS:Website: https://www.thepainterlyportrait.com.au Social Media: https://www.instagram.com/thepainterlyportrait and https://www.facebook.com/thepainterlyportrait ALSO MENTIONED:Awake Group with Sebastian Michaels (Compositing)Elevate Your Art: Digital Painting with Michelle ParsleyClick here to listen to the full extended version of this episode in the Memberzone

Mike Winkelmann is an American graphic designer. In May 2007 he drew an image of his Uncle Joe, called it Uber Jay (Mike's nickname for his uncle) and shared it online. The next day he made another image and once again posted it online. He did the same thing the next day, and then the next day. Last week Christies Auction House sold one of his paintings for $70 Million dollars. On this episode we talk about how that happened and what it means for the creator economy.

Hi, this is Chris Legaspi. I'm a professional artist, author and instructor. And today we're going to talk about digital painting tutorial. Now what is a digital painting tutorial? As I mentioned in previous episodes, unlike oil painting classes, digital is using an electronic interface. Uh, the most popular one right now is Photoshop painting.Painting is the act of drawing plus adding the layer of element of color. So digital painting is using an electronic interface, like Photoshop classes to create artwork, to create digital paintings. And the definition of tutorial is simply specific instruction. It's some form of instruction. And typically, when, when you see the word tutorial online, it's, it refers to some kind of free instruction or free listen to free video perhaps, or articles, or course a more complex version.Now, um, a digital painting tutorial is, is going to be very, very helpful. If you want to learn digital painting, if you want to improve. So, it was very helpful. So, I think it's definitely something, um, uh, good to do to study, to review, to learn now, one thing to keep in mind and one thing to look for, and specifically for me, what I look for in a good tutorial is I look for two things.Number one is results and number two is communication. So, for me, when I want to learn something, when I look forward to tutorial, I first look for results. Meaning does the person who is offering the advice, the information, the knowledge have they achieved, the results that I want. Did they have, did they have the work? Does their work look good in a way that I liked that I want? And also, can they communicate? Um, so that's a whole other uh, skillset that, um, you know, it's often difficult to find, but, um, um, also in communication, um, the communication also not only has to be clear, but also has to resonate with you because there's many different teaching styles, communication styles for painting classes online.So, those are just two things that I look for. And I think there are two things to keep in mind because there's so much information out there. And many of it is good, but a lot of it is maybe not as beneficial. So, when you're out there going through the sea of information, um, first when you're looking for a digital painting tutorial first, um, focus on the results, who is getting the results that you want and who has a communication style that resonates with you. And, um, if you keep those two things in mind, I think, uh, and with experience, uh, those that, that skillset will improve the ability to sift through information. And you'll be able to find a lot of good knowledge and information and good digital painting tutorial that suits your needs.So that's all for this episode. And until next time, get out there, keep drawing, keep painting. You build up that mileage. Bye for now.For more information please visit https://www.lawsofcolor.com/

Hi, this is Chris Legaspi and today we're going to talk about digital painting. Now, I’ve been a digital artist for many, many years. I’ve been working professionally in the entertainment industry, mostly as a video game concept artist and more recently in the movie poster industry where I do movie poster illustrations and concept art. Some of my more recent titles include Deadpool 2, Son of Shaft, Birds of Prey, and various other feature films, as well as Netflix features. Now, and for most of my career, digital painting has been a big part of the art I make for the entertainment industry. Now let’s first begin by defining what digital painting is. It's kind of a nebulous term and maybe it's the first time you're hearing it or you may hear it a lot and you’re not quite sure what it means. So, I'm going to define it today. So digital painting has two words.First is the “digital” and the second is the “painting”. So let’s first explore what “digital” means. Typically, when you hear the term digital painting, and someone says “digital”, what they’re referring to is some kind of computer interface and electronic interface. And for the last 20 or so years, the dominant digital interface has been a software program known as Photoshop. So you may have used it, you may be familiar with it. It’s what the professional industry-standard right now is. It’s a software where you can make artwork with the computer. So when people typically say digital painting, they’re referring to Photoshop. Now in more recent times, other painting apps have grown in popularity and this is because of the rise of the iPad and the iPencil so many wonderful apps have emerged and the most popular are SketchBook Pro and Procreate.So now a digital painting, the “digital” part can also include apps that use the iPad and the Apple Pencil. And when you're using painting in Photoshop, many professionals or students and other artists who start to do digital painting, they interface with Photoshop using what’s called a digital tablet. This is basically sort of electronic pen with an electronic tablet that you can interface with it to work like an electronic pencil. You can get much better results than using a mouse. And the most popular by far, and the industry standard for professionals is from a company named Wacom – W-A-C-O-M. And they make many, many wonderful tablets of various sizes and price range so generally when you hear the word “digital”, you think of Photoshop and you think of Wacom tablets.Now the second part of digital painting is “painting”. And “painting” again can have many, many definitions. It’s a huge, kind of a nebulous term but I'm for the simply define “painting” as drawing plus color. Painting to me is really the act of drawing with the addition of color. Now, again drawing is another term that we will define and explore in further episodes but for now I just wanted to find painting as creating images using drawing techniques and adding the element of color. And drawing basically, in short-terms is mark-making, using your pencil or digital tablet to make marks, to make lines, to make shapes, to make tones. So those are the two things that make up painting to me.Okay that's the end of the short clip. In later episodes, we’re going to explore further, go into detail, into more drawing ideas or digital painting ideas, more color ideas as well. So once again, I’m Chris Legaspi, until next time. Get out there. Keep drawing, keep painting and build up that mileage. Bye for now.

Android Jones is one of the world’s hottest digital artists – even if it’s kind of a mistake to label him this way and limit his creative action to the digital. A master portraitist, designer, and explorer of new tools, Android made concept art for video games in his early years before becoming the creative consultant for the best-in-class Corel Painter software, touring the world while doing live visuals for huge musical acts, collaborating on epic dome projection shows, and ultimately pioneering the possibilities of VR with his latest project, Microdose. But arguably his most vital and illuminating evolutionary edge as an artist has been with his two children, learning to raise the next generation of curious and creative minds. This week on Future Fossils, I sit down for a three-year-overdue discussion with one of the most objectively inspiring people I can call a friend – to talk about our hopes and our concerns for Those Who Come Next, and what being a creative parent means in our Age of Transition.https://androidjones.comhttps://microdosevr.comJoin my community of patrons and receive exclusive perks (like book club membership):https://patreon.com/michaelgarfieldJoin the daily discussions erupting like psychedelic flowers in our Facebook Group:https://facebook.com/groups/futurefossilsWe Discuss:Electromineralism & medium as material agent lending its qualities to your identityTools as extensions of the body, and the most modern tools we have are still so ancientReimagining truths that have real legs on them, not praising absolute truthsFinite & Infinite Games by James P.

Jeffrey Alan Scudder is a contemporary artist who travels and spends his time performing, programming and making pictures. In this episode we discuss Jeffrey's lecture performances on Radical Digital Painting. A conversation around technologies, media and the history of painting. When has a digital painting found its final form? Can we understand systems by thinking about them as musical scores? Our conversation took place in Los Angels, outside LACMA on a semi sunny day in December 2018.http://theartword.com
Society of Visual Storytelling: Our show is sponsored by SVSLearn.com. It’s like Netflix for a high quality art classes. We love the guys down there at SVS. :) If you are interested in learning more, click here Current Projects: Will: Working on redoing a class for SVS, and originally the class was done live and so now he is giving it a facelift and making it more organized and coherent. Lee: While waiting for a book project to start, has started working on a basic Digital Painting class for SVS. He has done 90 videos done so far. Also, took a week to dial in his studio, his process and needs have changed over time, so now he has taken some time to customize his studio and built things to streamline it. Fancy customization. Jake: Just finished, Inktober! Yay! Finished all the Inktober posts, has been doing a ton of work on the Inktober posts, which is a ton of work. Did all of his personal Inktober drawings, plus another 20 or so to promote sponsors. Cleaned the whole studio with his trusty assistants, Aaron and Tanner Now is working on the Inktober book which is all about how to ink, how to do Inktober, and where do you fit in the world of Ink. November Art Challenges: Slowvember: taking time to slow down after the franticness of Inktober and just focus on making one thing beautiful. Another popular art challenge is Huevember, combined with Sketchtember, and Inktober. People do sketches during the month of September, ink them during October, and then add color during Huevember. Slowvember, all about creating an amazing Last year Lee did 2 pieces during that month. 2 weeks a painting. In today’s world it seems like it is all about speed, so it’s so nice to slow down and work on a painting and give it 100% of what you’ve got. It’s the last 20% that makes you a professional. Students can totally get to that 80% mark but they get stuck and don’t know what else to do. It’s that final 20% that is the hardest part and this challenge is a perfect way to work on getting past that. We love this podcast! This is what are meetings used to dissolve to anyways, so we’re happy to share it now with you. (time) Today’s topic is: How to Working with Art Directors. The nuts and bolts of working with an art director is usually learned on the job and is not covered as much in school. So hopefully this will be helpful. We have some questions that were submitted to us by a former art director who thought these would be helpful questions to discuss and consider. How much creative freedom can I expect to have when illustrating a book? For most children’s books that Jake has done he has been hired based off of a specific illustration he has already done. Some artists have only one distinct style and so if that’s the case the client most likely wants something in that style. Usually Jake will email them and ask what type of style they want for their illustration. The freedom lies in how you can use that style to tell the story. You have to stay in that box of the style and work inside that box and all of the storytelling and design you do should fit in that box. Usually Lee will ask the publisher why and for what reason they chose him. Then they will send some images that they like of his and start to describe the look and feel of the project. Your creativity doesn’t change as much as your confidence does. Lee feels that he has the same amount of creativity and capacity to have good ideas now as when he started, the difference, however, is his confidence and ability to pitch those things and more creative solutions to the art director or publisher. We all need to overcome self imposed limitations of what we think the art director wants. There is a freedom to pitch things out there and see if they are received. It took some time but now Lee has confidence to think outside of the box and to propose new solutions. Talk to the art director like a person, and give them more options. Don’t only focused on “will they like it?” Focus on coming up with creative solutions. Overcome self-censoring to do what is fun and exciting. Here’s an example, for a book Lee gave them three different options of approaches they could take on it and listed the pros and cons of each option. Talk openly about all of those things. Jake likes to think about the current children’s book as the calling card for the next one. So he tries to really push things as far as he can and do his very best on at least a few spreads so he can show that stuff to other publishers. If you give them boring stale work, and that’s what they want and that’s what you’ll be continued to ask do for them. Lee gets shut down all the time, and that’s okay, he understand and has developed confidence. “I love the limited color, but maybe we go full color..” Anything you draw is never wasted. Anything can be reused, shown, and you get to become better as an artist because you went down that path and explored that option. Have you been as satisfied with your professional work as your personal work? Lee has done 24, 25 books and still feels like he hasn’t been able to hit the mark of his best work. Of all of Will’s books, Bonnaparte Falls Apart is doing the best. It was published by Random House and it is the book where he had the most freedom. As a rule of thumb, the smaller the publisher, the less freedom you’re going to have. Lee: is working with imprints of Scholastic and Simon and Schuester. Jake has worked with Chronicle and Harper Collins. These publishers are at the top of their game, they allow you to do your best work with creative freedom and they will give directional nudges, and are not overly micromanaging. Smaller publishers may micromanage and have silly requests. Will will approach art directors and show them really rough sketches and tell them that they are for their eyes only, don’t show these to the editor. This allows him to pitch concepts without having to do a lot of detailed sketching. You need to prove yourself with a new client and give them some nice sketches before you start showing them really really rough concepts, so they can know what your sketches entail. The caliber of client does change the answer to this question of how satisfied you may be with working with a publisher. Some smaller publishers will micromanage. A good example of trust and a proactive solution mindset. Jake noticed when the book was nearing completion that they had left out a spread and were a whole spread shirt, so he proposed an idea for a final spread and the author, editor, and everyone liked his idea and let him carry it out. The Twelve Sleighs of Christmas Throw good creative ideas out there, if you don’t really have a good idea, don’t throw ideas out there just to throw it out there! What to do if you don’t agree with the art director? You can definitely push back more the more confidence and experience you have. Would you do that as a beginning illustrator? Pick your battles, it can’t be a daily thing. Every project will have issues. you know there is going to be some push back to what you do. You are going to want one or two of your ideas, to be really gutsy and push back. But it can’t be a daily thing. When considering pushing back against feedback given, always ask, “Is this worth it? Is this more important than the other things that I really care about?” Pick your battles. Check out our monthly drawing challenges at SVSLearn.com! Be solution-oriented. If you need to make a change and it’s not your idea, then you need to love the change or revision. Will has loved something about a book and then had that thing changed and then he was able to love that new thing even more than the thing before. We are resistant to change because we have attached value to something and then when that is attacked we feel unsettled. Skeleton at Dinner Being a student, almost anything you pitch is accepted and your teacher just wants to see you create good work. As a professional, that isn’t the case, many things you pitch won’t be accepted or agreed with, but you have to keep a positive and team player attitude. When going into professional job, realize you are going to be apart of a team, it helps you have a better mindset. In regard to illustration, Jake likes to have the mind of a mercenary. You are hired by the author and the editor and they have a vision, he will, 9/10, go along with their vision. One good reason for this is that the editor has been through this process so many more times than you, and she works with a marketing department and has seen designs and books succeed and fail. Normally she or he knows what they are talking about. Jake tends to go with their feedback, unless maybe it is something specific that he feels strongly about. Push back on only a handful of little things. Trust their vision. Have you ever refused to change something? Jake, never done it. Lee, did this once. Did icons for a magazine and they got caught in this ongoing never ending revision loop. As artists we are all caught in this paradox where we are wanting to make money and also wanting to enjoy out art and this fun career path. Sometimes you need to know when to say yes and no. Sometimes you say yes, because there is a really good paycheck. Sometimes you say no, because it doesn’t fit with your brand or artistic vision. Will lost his rep by saying no. The art director was really upset because everyone wanted Will, the illustrator to rewrite the book, and Will knew that wasn’t his job or responsibility, and refused to do so. He lost his rep but stood up for himself. Soon after that publisher actually went out of business. Being an illustrator does not mean: “I will illustrate anything for anyone in any style.” I.e. Lee doesn’t do likenesses in his illustration work. Know what you’re good at and know what you’re not. You don’t have to be a Jack of all trades. But you also don’t have to limit your skill set but you can limit what you do. Is there a way to feel out the publishing team before you do a book for them, to make sure you see, creatively, eye to eye? Some questions to ask early on to help you feel out the your compatibility with the project and team. What images of mine did you see that made you think of me? Why did you pick me? How do you see this project happening? Am I primarily working with the editor or the art director. You want to know what you are getting into. Will’s friend wanted him to do a logo, and Will agreed to do it but had his friend show him 3 of his favorite logos so that Will could get a feel for what his friend wanted. Make them send you stuff that fits their vision, so that you have a better idea as to what it is that they want. Sometimes you have to spend a lot of money on your furnace. You have to stick with it having a consistent online presence, you need to build an audience a fanbase, when you are in need they will likely support you! How long do you wait on getting feedback on thumbnail sketches? It can take as long as 3-4 weeks. Worst experience with an art director? Everyone has nothing to share. Will already shared his. How to become friends with your art director? People like to work with friends and with people that they can relate to. Will tries to make it personal, “have a good time… this weekend”, “I’m going to be doing this, this weekend” Be kind and be their friend. Jake likes to follow them on twitter or to comment on their art if they are an artist to find connections and build friendships. A lot of Wills art directors are return clients. He has had 5, 10, 30 projects with the same art directors. Think about it, if you do good for someone, then they will count on you and look to you as a go to person. Be fun, be interesting, be a good person, care about them, show interest in what they’re doing. They will want to keep working with you if you produce good work, and are easy to work with. One more idea, send your art director or publisher a card or a print, and do something extra like that for them. Lee sends his new publishing clients his Kickstarter book so they have a really strong taste of what his process and finished work is like. We hope you liked this discussion, this is a good thing to talk about because working with art directors, it’s part of what we do!
