Practice, dyuuude... If you're talking about graphic design, gotta study composition and color theory. In art school, one of the foundation graphic classes was called "Color & Design". The first semester, we didn't even use color, because it was about solidifying understanding of shape and value interaction (composition), flow, energy-- buncha stuff about conveying emotion through geometric shapes. Second semester introduced simple color theory stuff (emotion through color, color interaction/balance, optical mixing, etc.). |

...then later on comes typography and whatever else..... If you're talking about illustrative graphic work, then you basically just have to draw, forever, to get solid foundations in being able to see. |

last work i did was cleaning up 65 old b&w photos of India. for a two hundred. at the course it's all about making illustrations of things already existing (drawings, illustrations, cartoons) and a few 'consumer' graphic stuff like doing a flyer for a sushi bar, doing a t-shirt ect. i am keeping it very simple |

I finally understand the meaning of this thread. If you're passionate about your work you'll be fine. What a very strange question you asked! |
||||||||
|

|
|

Maybe it's not for you but you can make a few bucks on the side by doing stuff. I don't know. generally people know when they want to actively pursue something. I dunno, man. Let us know! |

Don't be silly. ;) There's so much visual pollution all around us, it's disgusting, it makes me feel sick. I'd prefer the people at it enjoy what they do. tDR have always come across as passionate. SignedUpToLOL: straight back at you, Gollum! |

Passion for art comes like the passion for music-- it is somewhere in your heart for whatever fucking reason, and you do it not for money or recognition or anything-- the main driving force with passion is because you love it. So I don't know if I can help you find some sort of passion in illustration or visual art in general. My major was illustration in art school, so I technically could help you along that particular path, if that's what you're interested in. But illustration is quite deep, and the fundamentals of drawing are hugely important to the artform. So if you're going down that path, all I can really recommend is to draw from life as much as possible, because unless your brain has a massive library of the way this world works, you cannot develop your own styles to represent something that we can all understand. And, just constantly check out tons of awesome illustrators. If you don't have a passion type feeling for looking at artwork, then it's probably pretty tough to get a passion for actually producing it. Photo retouching in and of itself is an artform, but those who are best at it, actually have a solid foundation of panting, color theory, lighting, etc., in order to make their works look real. I used to actually think photo retouching would be a dream job, because I have tons of fun fixing photos and making them look good. I used to photo retouch for no reason but to have fun, so I imagine it takes that kind of interest in a subject to "find purpose" in it. Like masturbation or sex at its finest-- the action is the purpose. |

i'm just retracing stuff using vectors atmo, today i was retracing the black parts of a picture of a tiger, and i quite liked the results. learned how to color stuff after some kind of automatic retrace is made on the drawings, then i got disarmed by an illustration of david bowie with all those shades and color changes. that also got to be redone with illustrator. it was the first week, now there is the second. i can't draw. |

i'm deeply fascinated with how to merge computer rendering and drawing. ghost in the shell: stand alone complex is a good example. not the stuff in it that's flagrant, obvious early 00s and sticks out like a sore thumb, but the stuff that's so good you miss it unless you're looking for it. in particular, the way they've computerized the cell shading on the : "Throughout the animated series, Tachikoma characters were rendered by 3D software using a shader that mimics hand-drawn art. This method simplified the task of animating detailed robotic characters." |
