Through an Artist's Eyes: Space Travel Before It Was Cool
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2011/05/space-travel-before-it-was-cool.html
Sunday, May 29, 2011. Space Travel Before It Was Cool. In this sketch, I tried to imagine a space suit of someone walking around on Saturn's moon Titan- a moon extremely distant from the sun. One of my goals was to imagine the suit as if it would have been imagined in the 1950s. The man is wearing a flight suit, with a few attachments for the airless, freezing, icy environment.

Through an Artist's Eyes: I'm Ready for my Closeup!
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2011/09/im-ready-for-my-closeup.html
Thursday, September 8, 2011. I'm Ready for my Closeup! This is why an artist can take advantage of the close-up. A close-up is a camera angle where the primary subject is the character's face. It can range anywhere between including the character's shoulders and a significant area above the head, to showing one very large eye. Using a close-up draws the reader in to a very intimate level with the character. Think of it this way: if you are actually this close to a person in real life, the.

Through an Artist's Eyes: November 2010
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2010_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 29, 2010. Gee, she's really.um, fat. REALLY? This was my first time of actually trying to figure out how fat is distributed across the body. Once upon a time, I thought if I just added a gut onto a character, they'd become believably fat. Sadly, this is not the case.for anyone. Friday, November 19, 2010. For the story I'm working on, I have a character who originally created a business because it's his passion. But a national company's competition makes money scarce, and he meets a p...

Through an Artist's Eyes: October 2010
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 24, 2010. Are the Dutch Known for Being Crazy? So, this is my first apology for not posting at all last week. One of my goals is to have this problem on a rare-to-never basis. 1) If things are getting suspenseful and/or confusing, a tilted viewpoint can make the viewer feel off-balance or lost. Or if the character is drunk or wavering in and out of consciousness, it can help the viewer share the feeling of topsy-turvy. One example might be Orson Welles' 'The Third Man'. What's important t...

Through an Artist's Eyes: It's Not a Bad Story, You're Just Not Emo Enough!
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2011/05/its-not-bad-story-youre-just-not-emo.html
Monday, May 30, 2011. It's Not a Bad Story, You're Just Not Emo Enough! I've recently been playing through Final Fantasy VIII, which I thoroughly enjoyed when I was in high school. Now.not so much. How, then, can an artist use this to their advantage? First, the artist must ask themselves 'what is my target audience? What do they downplay, or completely skip on? Different audiences have different attention spans: how do you need to adjust your work to compensate for this? I'm almost done with Final Fanta...

Through an Artist's Eyes: August 2010
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 25, 2010. I came across this Dennis the Menace. Goes into great detail about the stages in lots of different motions (walking, running, sneaking, jumping, etc.). For comics, a study like this can give characters' movements much more credibility, even if they are just static images. As I've said before, there is a strong difference between someone posing as if they are running, and a still image of someone running. Tuesday, August 24, 2010. The Ways We Sit.

Through an Artist's Eyes: The Two-Shot
http://tedwoodsart.blogspot.com/2011/04/two-shot.html
Friday, April 15, 2011. The two-shot is any type of camera angle which hold two characters in it. With this broad definition, it's used a lot in film and comics. Fortunately, there's lots of ways to do it, all of which are explained in the book "The 5 C's of Cinematography.". Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).
