J.C. Leyendecker Prints and Posters - Global Gallery J.C. Leyendecker Born in Montabaur, Germany, and came to America at the age of eight. Showing an early interest in painting, he got his first job at the age of sixteen (16) in a Chicago engraving house on the strength of some large pictures he had painted on kitchen oilcloth. Upon his return, as a thoroughly trained artist with immense technical facility, Leyendecker had no difficulty in obtaining top commissions for advertising illustrations and cover designs for the leading publications. Joseph Christian Leyendecker became a noted American illustrator and graphic designer who, between 1896 and 1950, painted more than four hundred magazine covers, most of them of an idealized America. He particularly hit his stride in the 1930’s with fashion advertising, selling lifestyle with product.
Will Terry - Children's Book Illustrator Fire Paintings: Artist Draws With Flames And Soot Steven Spazuk is a Canada-based artist who uses candle soot to create elegant drawings. After depositing soot on his media with a candle or torch, he etches lines and patterns in the soot with pencils and feathers. Though Spazuk has spent the last 14 years developing and perfecting his soot painting technique, the creation process always has an element of random spontaneity and improvisation. More info: spazuk.com | Youtube | Facebook (h/t: lustik, colossal) When asked by Bored Panda about how he came up with the idea to paint with soot, Spazuk said; “The truth is that I dreamt of it. I was in a gallery (in my dream) and was looking at that black and white landscape and I knew that it was done with fire and completely understood the technique.” “In the morning when I woke up I remembered that dream and started to experiment. “It was then that I immediately knew that drawing with soot would work. “The biggest challenge in the beginning was to keep the drawings intact.

Ian McQue - bậc thầy concept art Ian McQue (ngồi giữa) và cộng sự (Nguồn: computertrainingacademy.co.uk ) Liên kết: Học Illustration & Printmaking tại Duncan Jordanstone ở Dundee, Scotland. Câu hỏi đầu tiên của tôi thì rất đơn giản. Như hầu hết mọi người, tôi không nghĩ mình đã nhận ra công việc “concept artist” tồn tại cho đến khi thấy những tác phẩm gốc của Ralph McQuarried thiết kế cho Star Wars, và theo cách nào đó đây lại là một công việc chưa từng tồn tại thực sự trước đó. Tôi vẫn rất ngạc nhiên về tầm cỡ của những nghệ sĩ cùng bộ phim đó và mỗi người trong số họ trở thành một nguồn ảnh hưởng lớn với tôi - Ron Cobb, Chris Foss, H.R. Những chiếc tàu trôi nổi được tập trung trong những tác phẩm của tôi có thể là chế lại từ motif Moebius được dùng trong nhiều câu truyện của ông, nhưng gần hơn, tôi nghĩ tôi bị ảnh hưởng tiềm thức bởi các nhà máy đóng tàu ở North East nước Anh nơi tôi lớn lên. Tôi chỉ biết những tác phẩm digital của anh. Liên kết:

A Lesson on Character Design by 'SpongeBob' Artist Robertryan Cory Robert Ryan Cory, a veteran character designer on SpongeBob SquarePants and Secret Mountain Fort Awesome, has posted a helpful set of notes from a character design lecture he presented recently to CalArts animation students. How do I become … an illustrator | Money Cliff Wright had spent years painting woodland animals for children's book's when the call came from publisher Bloomsbury. "They wanted me to illustrate the cover of a book called Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets," he says. "I'd never heard of Harry Potter at that point, so it was just another job for me." The first book in JK Rowling's series had been illustrated by a young graduate from art college and, following its success, the publisher had decided to recruit a more experienced illustrator for the sequel. "I didn't have time to read the whole manuscript so I went with their suggestion of the flying car," says Wright, 49. Wright was the first to depict Hogwarts Castle, Hedwig the owl, the flying Ford Anglia and the airborne Hippogriff, and those rough sketches are now collectors' items – the original artwork for Chamber of Secrets raised £85,000 at auction. "A lot of artists can't draw children because their energy is so difficult to capture," he says.
