Finally finished the tutorial with Ruth Ancilleri. The video walks you through the initial stages of illustration through to the digital rendering.

Heyy! nice idea, u rly surprised me with this one :)
ReplyDeleteI thought there were some vitruvius involoved. nice work and video. Nice piece as well.
All the best.
Thanks Luca, this was done for an E-learning module. I thought 20 mins was a bit too much to be honest, in fact I think I could have pushed everything into 10 minutes, however those were the rules!
ReplyDeleteYeah it would perfectly fit in 10 mins, but rules are rules :)
ReplyDeleteIts totally a different approach from my way of doing a painting (digital/traditional) - it's always good to see other artists at work. nice.
I loved the videos to bits and believe it or not, I was thinking to do something very similar just because I depend a lot on the traditional inking but uh, I don't exactly have the patience for painting...and also just when I was curious how did you do that collab! Thanks loads for sharing, it was a good one. >>!
ReplyDelete(Don't shoot me, but I laughed while watching those. >>)
Glad you liked it, I would love to do more if I have some time. I'm actually really happy with the quality of the camera bits, it was the first time using and editing HD footage - so worth it but editing them on a laptop is a bitch!
ReplyDeleteLike always I really enjoyed this collaborative exercise…and it’s an honor to work with such an artist…Thanks for sharing ;) Let’s come up with more ideas…
ReplyDeleteHaha Ruth :) likewise.. looking forward to another collab!

ReplyDeletebrilliant tutorial! ;)
ReplyDeleteHey girls - great work! As Ruth knows I am very interested in the issue of whether digital media will eventually take over completely the more traditional, 'hand-made' approach. Seeing you at work I am more than ever convinced that digital tools can only serve as just that - tools! They can never replace human creation, through which there tranpires the soul of the creator, and where real creativity and skill lies! Using only digital tools, in my view, widens the distance between hand and head, and some form of link/bridge is broken. I would love to have your view on this.

Hi Mel, in reality digital tools can easily replicate traditional media but there is always something missing if no actual traditional textures are used. I do sometimes start off my illustrations directly on a graphics tablet but scanning the texture of traditional pencil / ink has such a different feel to it and I much prefer it. Digital is so much better when it is assisted by traditional - otherwise it just ends up looking like plastic.
ReplyDeletehei_o
ReplyDeleteThis was also my BIG dilemma; wether to continue developing myself on working in traditional media or starting experimenting digitally. As I have just started working digitally, I can say that this seems to be also VERY interesting, and it allows you to work faster (till you get used to d tools ;p)
Though I also miss the actual paints, .. cuttings & textures and in the few works i did i tried to make use of my own hands as much as i could!
Aniways, I really liked the way you worked together and the good combination you came up with. Will be waiting for moRe .. =p
eLa
ela,
ReplyDeletedigital edits can greatly enhance your work, but you shouldn't rely on just digital. You don't have to miss the paints, cutting and textures- you can do all this traditionally - then scan your work and perhaps edit it further digitally. Most of all remember, never force digital upon your work! Traditional is equally awesome :)
