We had 3 life drawing sessions during this 4-day class. Our models wore historic costumes for two of them, the third session was contemporary clothing. Can anyone recognize the model wearing the skirt and blouse? 😁

We created stories and compositions by drawing our models in different poses and from various angles. It was a challenge, but we learned a lot for sure.
On Thursday our next life drawing workshop with Will Weston starts: Costume Design. We’re looking forward to drawing fabric, folds, and clothes. There will be models too and we can’t wait to design some awesome characters during this class. On Sunday we’ll visit the Styrian Armoury to learn how to draw armour.

Will gave us the difficult task to draw our models in different poses to create a story and composition. It was a challenging but also fun experience, so we’re looking forward to trying this again with models in costumes.

Are you excited already? We’re looking forward to seeing so many of our spring participants again!

used to work for Disney as a background painter for years. His compositions are inspired by Leyendecker and he has perfected his craft both as an artist and a teacher for decades. Environments can be challenging, but the way Will Weston teaches depth and overlap almost allows you to skip perspective lines. At least for the most part 😅

Painting backgrounds adds depth and story to your character designs. It is fascinating how much emotion you can evoke by arranging your characters in different compositions. Change the composition and you change the story. Add one character and throw everything off balance. Remove one and tell a new story. Composition is a fascinating and rewarding topic and you will see how much your art improves once you master it.

If you want to learn more, join us for a 4-day intensive workshop in Graz, April 28-May 01. Link in bio.

About

For many years I’ve been longing to work as a Concept Artist in the entertainment industry and to create worlds no one has ever seen before. I’ve always had plenty of ideas for stories, characters, and designs, but I was lacking the necessary skills to turn my ideas into reality. In 2017 I finally made a choice: I decided to give up my job as a video game translator and pursue a career as an artist instead. This time it was more than just the usual New Year’s resolution: as of January 2018, I fully devoted my time to drawing. I opted for an online program because there weren’t any opportunities to learn from veterans of the film and gaming industry anywhere near me. Within weeks my skills improved dramatically and I’ve made sincere progress ever since. Getting personal feedback from top-notch artists is the key to success and there is no better way to learn, believe me!

But as good as online education can be, there’s nothing better than sitting in a real classroom full of like-minded people. You talk to your teachers and peers face-to-face, learn from one another and make friends for life! Since it’s always been my wish to have a such an opportunity in my area, I founded Carbon Black – Entertainment Design Workshops.
