Backgrounds

We are studying animation in school right now. Not my favorite subject since you have to understand Flash, which I don't, at this point. I got the assignment to create an information video about the microwave owen. And now you think, that subject sucks! But you wouldn't really say that if you knew what the other subjects was, really they where worse.

However I have chosen to tell the history of the microwave oven instead of how it works. This made me abel to draw humans, oh yeah! I love to draw humans, who doesn't, right. I even managed to squeeze in God, a monster and some romance in my storyboard. I will share that one with you later.

Right now I'm working on my backgrounds in Illustrator. I love to work in Illustrator, it's so much easier than Flash, Photoshop and Indesign. Thought I share some of my backgrounds here on my blog.

Nightmare Rewoorked

I just found out that my wacom tablet is broken. I´m so addicted to that thing. Seriously how can anybody work in a computer without a tablet. That´s like you had to paint your traditional art with your bare hands instead of using a brush. 

However over to something more fun. I have been reworking my nightmare sketch cause I really want make this into a finished piece. It´s drawn on four papers, that´s why there is a white line in the middle. And I actually used the old sketch, I resized it to a bigger size in the computer, than I changed the density too really light and printed it out. And then I could repaint the whole thing using the old sketch as guide lines. I the whole process once more and now I feel like the sketch starting to get finished.  This a trick I stole from my favorite illustrator James Jean.

It has been so fun making al of these monsters and creatures of the night. I got some ideas from friends. who's been like "you should draw this and that".

It has been sale on books lately in Sweden and I wanted to get an art book about Alphonse Mucha, you know that man who makes all those half naked women. that could be any manly illustrator right. But if I said it´s the guy who painted women with flowing hair in greece inspired outfits on backgrounds with flower ornamentals in the ending of the 18 century and beginning of the 19, then you surely know who he is right. However the bookstore was out of this book when I arrived so I ordered Dita von tesses  book instead. I love her style to pieces.
