Creation Live! workshop: Prima.
Aug. 2nd, 2012 08:13 pmI finally caved and got prepaid broadband internet. *heavy sigh*
This is a mandatory plug for my workshop mid-August:
In celebration of International Women's Month (more or less five months late), Gunship Revolution will be serving up a very special Creation Live! this August with Prima, an workshop starring the amazing, talented women that keep Gunship Revolution from being a total all-boys club.
Do women in general necessarily have a different approach when it comes to art that sets them apart from men? If so, does this "woman's touch" figure into an artist's unique, personal styles? Can a guy truly master the art of romance manga or will that just be weird? We're going to explore these topics and more alongside a brisk, intensive course on illustrating and digital painting traditionally "feminine" styles - shoujo, cutesy and all points in between. Style, skill, and training are all universal of course so guys are definitely still welcome.
Headlining for this workshop are two of Gunship Revolution's leading ladies. Lynsley Brito, is certainly a name making waves on both sides of the Pacific. A student at China's prestigious Academy of Art in Hangzhou, she's quickly rising as one of the top Manga artists in America. Bridging that transcontinental distance is a very distinct style composed of lavish environmental detail, exquisite tone work and androgynous male characters with luxurious, shampoo-commercial hair. If you're even halfway familiar with the "yaoi" genre, you have most likely seen her work.
The second half of the seminar will be held by the incomparable Cristina Chua, a multimedia arts major whose vibrant coloring work and whimsical character designs never fail to cause jaws to drop. Ms. Chua is a consummate master of concept art and has done digital painting work on internationally distributed publications. She will be discussing her digital painting techniques, particularly the skills and stylistic inspiration that goes into her pieces.
For questions about Creation Live!, feel free to send them to us through the Creation Live! website. Prima will be held at Fully Booked High Street on August 18 from 1:00pm to 5:00pm. Special prizes and give-aways await the attendees such as original art prints, professional art tools and authentic digital copies of Smith Micro's premiere illustration program Manga Studio.

I've been brainstorming... but seeing as my brain's fried, I think I'll just wallow in fics all night tonight. *pumps fist*
