Watch Chris Piascik draw

Watch Chris Piascik draw an improvised drawing from start to finish. Chris explains that these doodles start with him randomly scribbling out a loopy pattern and then filling it in. I’m quite impressed with the quality of production in this video; I’d love to see a whole series with all sorts of artists.

CHIU-Stream: online drawing show plus interviews with Peter de Sève and Stephen Silver

Bobby Chiu of Schoolism online art classes has started doing a regular series of streaming video evenings on Ustream called, obviously, CHIU-Stream. He talks and answers questions while drawing a topic chosen by viewers at the beginning of the show.

He also interviews famous atists on occasion. Here’s a recent interview Bobby did with character designer Stephen Silver:

The next artist interview will be with the great Peter de Sève tomorrow night, live, Wednesday Oct 7 at 11:30pm 11:00pm EST. He’ll be picking a topic to sketch or paint and then participants sketch that topic for the duration of the interview. Peter will then select a winner and that winner will get a Peter de Sève original drawing mailed to him/her. Check it all out on CHIU-Stream.

EDIT: Bobby informs me that the Peter de Sève interview is now at 11:00pm.

Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons creating comic art digitally

Watch Dave Gibbons demonstrate the various steps he took to create an image of Rorschach using Manga Studio and a Wacom Cintiq. It’s more of a slideshow of the stages than anything else, but it shows what these digital tools can accomplish in the hands of someone using them to duplicate his traditional process.

Shawn Feeney: How to Draw a BFF

You may remember Shawn Feeney, the forensic artist who started a project called BFF in which he created composite portraits of friends by combining their features together. He’s continuing the project now by making composites of the composites — eventually deriving at at a single face blending all the heads together. Very cool.

Watch this video to see how Shawn combines two faces into one.

iPhone Sketches by Stef Kardos



Disney artist, Stef Kardos, is posting iPhone sketches to his Flickr page.

The miniature digital paintings were done on-site using the Brushes iPhone app.

I wasn’t convinced the iPhone would be a useful sketching tool until I saw these.

Here’s a video demo of the app in action from David Onze:

Una mà  de contes: watch as stories are illustrated



Una mà  de contes
is an online archive of an illustrated children’s television program from Catalan television.

Joan M. Mas writes:

The title is a wordplay sounding just like ‘mar de contes’ (a sea of tales; in catalan this expression ‘a sea of…’ means a lot of something), while the real title of the show, Mà de contes is ‘a hand of tales’ for the reason explained here: In each episode a children’s tale is narrated while on screen it is painted, drawn, modelled or collaged by different illustrators or artists. A feast for illustration lovers. The archive is organized by technique, title, artist… and you can see the whole episodes. If you feel like playing, there is even a story builder with texts and images.

While the site is not in English, you can easily turn on English audio and/or subtitles for each tale. Fun!
