I have always been really interested in digital illusration, particularly illustrations for pixar animation. So much, in fact that I explored the Pixar website and decided then and there that Pixar California is going to be where i work one day. ah, a girl can but dream! I am not amazing at freehand illustration but i understand a thing or two about texture, highlights and shading which is why i was pleasantly surprised when i discovered that there is such a thing as a shading technician. The shading technician basically recieves 3D shots of the characters and then goes out and finds the textures of various materials needed for reference. Then shades the characters to make the characters' textures authentic looking. what a rad job!
Anyway.. as my interest in digital art grew, i found an array of talented digital artists which were all inspirations to me, however, one artist's work stood out neck and shoulders from the rest. I wanted to put her in my pocket and take her out whenever i had a Photoshop question. When the work of UK based concept artist Charlie Bowater caught my attention I instantly decided that i wanted to be a concept artist. So, i tried my hand at creating some Concept illustrations of my own... (dont judge)
