"...Maurice found ways to make a snow-peaked mountain or the landscape of the American Southwest feel more like those places than they really do in person...

And these were the first story moments explored:

1. Alex meets OP
2. Shenanigans with Twitch, Thrash, Robby, & Mo
3. Battle at the bridge

These were done roughly around when I was wrapping on #RiseoftheTMNTMovie.

It was fun to explore a new playground, from turtles to bots!

3. Build linework and block color

Depending on the style you're going for, now you can build the foundation for the piece.

Here I wanted graphic shapes and more traditional ink work.

Tip: Block in major sections with different colors

2. Design character

The character should fit the world and story you're creating.

In this case, I wanted the robot to feel more robotic/mechanical, less human to contrast the human outfit.

Tip: Design options to extremes to find out what you actually want/fits the story

@OrsatJo Yo that's lookin great! I painted that BG too!

When I'm painting, I usually break it up into stages.

1. Block in values
2. Lay in colors
3. Light the set
4. Add texture/fx
5. Final touches

That way you can focus on one task and save time.

Would love to see the final!

Yo #PortfolioDay is crazy humbling.

There are amazing artists out there, and I'm especially stoked to see you students right now just starting/graduating. Ya'll on another level.

❓: For current art students, what were some of your influences growin up?

Some of mine:

Before this exercise, I'd spend HOURS, DAYS, WEEKS searching for the secrets to great art.

Then make ONE pretty alright drawing/painting.

I robbed myself of gaining raw experience through iteration and the discovery of my own unique mistakes.

Only cause I didn't feel ready.

As artists, we’re often our own worst critics.

I would judge every choice I made, resulting in stutterrred work.

But with a trained eye, I knew I’d be able to see well-crafted work.

I just had to stop talking and let the work speak for itself.

🎨 Create first, edit later ✂️

I’d often noodle around too much with my work, mostly due to a lack of confidence.

I’d judge the work while making it.
- That line sucks
- These colors suck
- This composition sucks

Don’t do that. It slows you down.

Just do the work--

THEN 💩 sh*t on yourself later 😜 jkjk

I gave myself 2 hours to finish each painting and I'd always try to finish each one a little quicker than the last.

Why? So I could practice making good decisions on a deadline.

After knocking out a few, you get into a good rhythm, and the decisions start to flow 🌊
