Happy (Belated) New Year! The beginning of the year is always so crazy with new client budgets more work and a lot of planning ahead. I have been learning a lot lately with books and online classes. The most recent lesson that I watched was
Tom Bancroft's class through Taught by a Pro. The Class is called
Intro to Character Design. It was wonderful!
I am also getting ready to purchase a couple of great classes on
The School of Visual Story Telling. I really appreciate all of the resources out there, and have a few channels marked on youtube. Sycra, Will Terry, Open College of the Arts and Lynn Chapman. With the wonderful technology of apple TV and apps like Vimeo and Youtube already built in, I can now draw in the sketchbook or computer and watch or listen to lesson on the big screen. Sure beats the little 2x2 square in the top corner while you are trying to draw :)
In addition to learning I have been trying to grow more as an artist and incorporate more family time as well. We purchased a couple of the
Art Lab books and with 52 labs in each book we have activities to play with every week of the year! The kids love it and even my husband can get involved as well!
Hope everyone has a wonderful 2014!
Dream Big & Follow Through... Kelli
