I like this book : Perspective! for Comic Book Artists: How to Achieve a Professional Look in your Artwork

some good advices in it.

Hmmm.... there’s so many different style for Comics, it depends on what you want to do.

The most important to me is to be the clearest possible. I will always chose boring composition to make things clear if I see that the fancy one is not working.

I’ve been working for blizzard for 2years and a half now. I don’t really have any advice as I never wanted to be a conceptartist or illustrator ( I see myself more as a comic artist…).

Just keep in mind that concept art and illustration, even though they are sharing some common skills,  require different approaches. Some artists can do everything but sometimes it’s cool to specialize into just one field and make the best of it. You can definitely do both, I started my conceptart journey (professionally) few month ago actually... And it’s taking me sometimes to understand all codes behind it.

Just keep in mind:

Conceptart is not the definitive product , it’s a piece that will help someone else producing the final product.

Illustration is the final product.

Wow I thought tumblr deleted the message functions a long time ago. Haven’t check the messages for years... sorry...

Step by step.

People often asking me how do I get my « style » what are my inspirations and so on. I do have a lot of inspirations. But what mainly build up my style is what I decided to learn by myself and not from books, of course I can recommend a some good anatomy books/websites.

But what shapes your vision is how you decide to understand things, almost every artists will tell you that a good understanding of anatomy is important  and so on. I don't think so, at least that's how I built up my vision. My understanding of anatomy or anything else is bad.

Learning things by yourself forces to understand what you can and not everything that it is given to you. AND how you can interpret it.

I understood a long time ago: it's impossible to know everything.

My art style is a balance about what I understand, what I want to understand, what I will never understand, stuffs that I interpreted wrong and deal with it.  

For Cintiq pro and Mobile Studio pro user on Windows, this is how to improve accuracy of calibration by 100%. Panel property of the tablet will look shrunk but it’s fine you can use it. For the cintiq pro 16 I highly recommend to not go 4K with the adapter it screws up the calibration, so you should stay in 2K. But if you have USB-C port it is fine.
