One of the lessons that Armand Serrano (who worked on Pixar films) taught us is this neat little pyramid that i’ve kept in mind for years now. This is me paraphrasing what he said and interpretting it my own way btw. But i’d have to source the original idea to him.

1) Concept is the base of all your creative projects. It is the theme and the idea behind your project/piece. It is one of the most critical parts of your creative process and shouldnt be overlooked

One of the best modern examples of this rule is One Punch Man. Conceptually the web comic has been amazing. Though it’s art quality leaves much to be desired, it still captivated a large audience despite its lackluster quality.

2) Design is how you execute said concept. It is at this point that you add your “flavor”.

To be best describe it, it’s like how two different chefs cook fried chicken. The very idea of FRYING CHICKEN is there. But their ingredients and final products will almost certainly be always different from each other because of personal preference, differing cultural upbringing, etc.

3) Technique is something i think people mistakenly use as their foundation of their art skills. Technique is the execution of strokes, colors and shapes to make beautiful artwork. I feel like the problem though in focusing on technique is that you lose “stability”. You dont have the “idea” to back up your technique, and you certainly dont have the “design” sense to be your own flavour. You just have “pretty drawing” and thats all. It feels empty almost

Dont get me wrong though, technique completes your structure, it caps off your “pyramid” to produce a truly wonderful piece that *everyone* can enjoy

I think all creative processes should atleast “try” to follow this structure

Criticism will be accepted

Well hey there, folks! A few weeks ago my phone was stolen while walking around the city, and although I have a backup phone, it’s very old and very unreliable.

I don’t generally use my phone to socialize. What I use it for is work and to communicate with clients. If my phone is missing calls and texts, that leads to unhappy clients and missed work D: 

So I’m opening up 10 slots of full body, full colour, simple commissions!

I’ll draw pretty much anything [ probably not on mechs and nsfw though;; ]

These will have an extremely quick turnaround time! About 1 week from when they’re commissioned or sooner! 

If you’re interested you can e-mail me at racommissions@gmail.com or send me an ask.

Signal boosting would be awesomeeee, and thank you to everyone that does in advance! 

vanduobones 20 dollars is way too cheap for your commissions dude xD. Your art is WAY too good for just 20 bucks
