In Art Spotlight, we invite Sketchfab artists to talk about one of their designs.

Hi, my name is Yann and I’m a French CG artist, long time Sketchfab user and avid video game fan. I’ve now been using Sketchfab for over 2 years and am really pleased with the way the platform has evolved. As a Freelance artist, I’m used to wear a lot of hats, but my main focus is making 3D characters. The feeling of giving life to your creation through design choice and animation is something I really enjoy.

This picture has gone viral as thousands of people deliver searing indictments of both smartphones and teens.

I’ve met a couple of teens. I’ve had a couple smartphones. Could these teens be playing Angry Birds or texting stupid jokes to each other? Yeah, they could.

But they could also be googling provenance for that painting or taking a second to text a friend about how amazing the museum is or completing an assignment given off-screen by someone standing just beside the photographer. They could be taking notes about the palette choice so that later they turn into a generation of artists that take your breath away.
