Today I had class in uni, but it turned out quite well. I have a story to tell.
I recently found out that my teacher of Typography did some illustrations when he was in his 20's, and today I asked him if he could show me, and so he did.
Wow. It was like I was seeing a Marvel artist. Seriously, I never tought I could have someone that good teaching me stuff at uni. After seeing his work, he chatted about it a little.
He gave up because he felt desmotivated about it. Sadly, I'm pretty sure he could have been a great sucessfull illustrator. He also gave me some precious advice about it: forget my tablet a little and do more work in traditional, specially studying anatomy trought boxes, and focusing in each part of the human body.
I tought about his work, his life and his advice all day.
And so, I did some studies from Loomis, specially the boxes thing. I also got trought my old sketchbooks to see some improvement from myself.
I wouldn't post anything, but decided to do a quick sketch. This new aproach in the way I'm studying is really making me think much more, and make more decisions. Following my teachers advice, I will try to finish some illustrations traditionally. I realized that I never did so, or rarely.
Enought cheap chat. Here's a lil' sketch.
