Inspiration Sunday - Instagram Edition

This week's inspiration is all about TYPE. It's found everywhere - on the huge billboards that fill Times Square, in the films/television we watch and is the bones of every magazine/blog/newspaper that's published. The world be a terribly boring place without the talented designers out there that are creating beautiful fonts and typography for all of us to enjoy. Here are some of the insanely inspiring Instagram accounts that I've been following lately:

Warm-Up

I recently enrolled in a Skillshare course, taught by the talented Matt Kaufenberg, and it has inspired me to start adding different brushes and textures into my drawings. Practice, practice, practice. This is a warm-up sketch that is based off of a picture from The Sartorialist, which is an amazing site full of great fashion inspiration!

Character Design

Super excited about my trip to California this upcoming week: San Francisco, family time, Burbank and the CTN Expo! It's my second year attending the expo and I'm just as excited as I was the first year. My friends Peter and David have a table this year so if you're in the area, come check them out.

I leave you all with my newest character design... myself.



Hopefully, many posts to come after my return!

Lucian Freud: 1922-2011

I have always been a big fan of Freud. A few years back, I took my first Photoshop class at FIT with William Low. In order to learn about the program and it's brushes, I chose to practice with one of my favorite paintings. He will be missed.
