#sammichlap #illustration #art #instagood #visdev #painting #Amazing #opportunity #chrissanders #film #design Well it’s been more than a year since I posted anything! Thanks to anyone who has not ditched my page during this long pause. I’ll start sharing some industry work from recent years. The first up today is COTW with the amazing @chrissandersart! Chris wanted to inspire the VFX team with stylistic design inspired by the great Eyvind Earle. I got the call and jumped at the chance- painting for several months. I had a fantastic time and the crew of artists became some of my best friends! Thanks to our amazing PD Stefan Dechant for the call. https://www.instagram.com/p/B_fs096HNti/?igshid=1g0faxu6hofxp

#sammichlap #cinematicdesign #filmdesign #pleinair #painting #color #design #artcenter #accd #artschool #conceptart #artlessons Week 7 HW of my painting 1 class at ACCD! The video shows last week’s Homework- using the Richard Schmid color chart system of mixing one color into every other color I asked the class to give 2 alts for each color harmony that results from each cross mixture. Each student did 24 frames- I think the class total thus far is close to 4K frames produced by 17 amazing students! The still shots feature a couple of weeks work collected for an upcoming ACCD display. https://www.instagram.com/p/BuiQsPAgADs/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4gxoiprb7vki

I’ll catchup- these design drawings are so much fun.... if you enjoy stress! I just jump in and start making abstract shapes, which hopefully pull together to form an image.

#sammichlap #tutorials #artlessons #gumroad #illustration #liveaction #film #cinematic #conceptart #visdev #art #artoninstagram It’s been a long time since I’ve released a Gumroad Tutorial but this one is available now! My work schedule is making it literally impossible to post my daily sketching, but it’s good to have too much work. I hope this inspires ideas in your own work. https://gum.co/iHZHk https://www.instagram.com/p/BpSpY_5jHus/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sp4k719hqw7l

#sammichlap #gate #fortress #palace #classic #art #visualart #design #painter #illustration #artoftheday #sketchaday #sketch #architecture 167... Red Portal. One way to easily create scale is through the depth of your shadows. The deeper the relief, the bigger your architecture will feel. A fun story- Years ago, while designing the lighting for “Prince of Egypt”, I painted a shot of the Palace, and from the upper right corner of the facade, I cast a diagonal shadow, which led your eye to the main door where baby Moses, jn his basket, enters the shot, floating toward the queen who stood just inside the huge portal- I was questioned about the shadow’s source. The issue was I painted a clear sky- no clouds to cast the shadow! “I replied, there’s a grip just off camera holding up a flag which was creating the necessary shadow which helped focus our eyes upon the gate where Moses enters. “Oh, ok, that makes sense”! Lol- it’s an animated film! I just wanted to make it look good. I like to design the light to “feel” real, but not actually real! And I guess I still like long diagonal shadows, with deep relief! https://www.instagram.com/p/Bn0bRn-jXnd/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1b38uvlfcqex

#sammichlap #pleinairpainting #design #artlessons #artofvisuals #visualart #drawing #sketching #sketchoftheday 170/365.... Happy Friday!! So I did this sketch from a pic I snapped waiting at a light in LA. I was instantly attracted to the grungy feel- trash strewn in the alley, and the perfect feeling of light with the tall old school Bldg in the BG. I took it back inside and did this sketch, and was about to post it with a few notes attached, but actually took some time this after and made a 12 step PDF as a FREE download from my Gumroad store- click the link jn my bio- It takes you through my design process for translating the world around me into the paintings you see on IG. I hope it inspires some ideas for your own work. My tank you for all the support you give me everyday! https://www.instagram.com/p/BoAnGGRDo7f/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=121waf20nf1th
