Interviews with artists, interviews with great artists and interviews with amazing artists!

Thanks Chris for sharing your knowledge and this amazing content in your youtube channel! It’s always a pleasure to know how other artists are working and living their jobs! 

Chris Oatley is an artist who has contributed artistically to various animated films, television shows, video games and music videos for companies such as Disney, Universal, Hasbro, Electronic Arts, Activision, The Weinstein Company and Geffen Records. 

This is a bird creature that I worked from black and white and overlayed with color on Photoshop. I heard about this process, and this is my first time trying it out. It’s an interesting process... This process eased the overwhelm of infinite color choices and play around with color easier. I think this is a good process to quickly work out color schemes and values. Still got a lot more to learn. I love how painting always stimulates my little brain! Woo!

Hello!

As a challenge to myself and a means of getting in some good practice, I will be doing one drawing every single day for 100 days straight.

I can't guarantee that I'll be able to upload a picture every day, as I might not always have access to internet. In that case, when I do update, I will post multiple pictures for each day.

Obviously if I'm on my deathbed I won't be able to keep it up, but I'm gonna do a Pat Benatar and hit it with my best shot.

And here's Day 1 - a rough sketch of my first assignment at the Chris Oatley Academy.
