Digital Arts

New century is replacing canvas from wet paints to electronic arts. As computer was popularize, sense of arts has been developed into color bits equivalent into computer reading and giving our eyes what we expect as the color it is.

I noticed in some fancy restaurants that some of their decorations that I thought was a "real painting" created in a canvas with pastels or oils, well it perceived me though.

Take a look at this two pictures (A and B). can you figure out what is real from what is not?  definitely there is no difference between this two pictures. I don't even know if these pictures is a digital art or art in canvas.

Imagine how powerful what digital art can do, it literally changes the birth of art.
posters for advertisements and publications during 1917's are using canvas where manpower have the biggest contributions of this posters distributions. Unlike today's technology, distributions of this posters had been paced into just a minute to produce.

Painting was not really neglected until today but it was nurtured and it was even studied. I randomly thought, does art today makes art yesterday cheap? Its just a random idea but it makes sense.

art today was actually first used for advertisements, it was not intentionally to degrade the art in canvas. I'm not against these two arts. actually I love them both its just that they are created differently. The point here is that we are experiencing changes in art, just adopt into it is still an art.

Popular Youtube Scientific-Art-multimedia-culture sentiment

Vsauce comprises a number of YouTube channels created by Internet personality Michael Stevens. The channels are known for producing videos relating to various scientific topics, as well as gaming, technology, culture, and other topics of general interest.

Vsauce amazed me for showing the different creation/inventions of other people. Most inventions are weird and mind blowing but interesting. I can relate to this Channel because almost of its episodes are my plots.

The channel are categorizes in different areas, the BIDIPI (Build It, Draw It, and Play IT) is my favorite category. It also includes #Mind Blow, #Game Lut, #Thought Glass, #LUT, #Fak, #GRUB, and  #54321.

Who's This Guy?



As the host of over 100 tutorials and creator of title sequences for TV's Fringe and the film Star Trek, has participated in many forms of production from visual effects artist, to directing commercials and promos. His website Video Copilot has been a progressive force in the visual effects industry with his upbeat training style and innovative plug-ins. ANDREW KRAMER.

As a freelance artist and web designer at age 20, Andrew began to work on the Video Copilot website from his apartment in Southern California. The website started with a single product and a handful of short After Effects tutorials that were featured on the Creative Cow community. His unusual training style and off-beat humor intrigued viewers by showing them powerful techniques for visual effects that were detailed and also entertaining. Not to mention the joy of collaborating with his friend Sam Loya for destructive and punishing effects.

In 2007 Andrew released a tutorial based on the Light Streaks effects from the recent iPod commercials that sparked worldwide interest and was even featured on the front page of the popular news site Digg.com. Later that year, the now 2-man team released the popular Riot Gear DVD featuring stock footage of paint and ink elements filmed in their garage. The products success had Andrew and his brother scrambling to fill orders to locations all over the world and helped fuel the company's passion.

The sites online presence has also led to collaborations for Andrew to work with major companies and even the unique opportunity to work with Director J.J. Abrams on Film & TV Projects.

Video Copilot has since published over 40 hours of training and has over a dozen professional products and plug-ins used by creative professionals around the world. The Video Copilot team has grown to 6 full-time professionals and recently moved into a new studio space. Andrew continues to work in the film industry in addition to publishing new, exciting products and tutorials for the growing motion graphics and visual effects community.

Some of Kramer's amazing commercial.

Just the basic

Flynn Rider

Flynn Rider (In movie Tangled). This character has a strong sense of humor and is very charismatic, though his an outlaw. Flynn Rider was dubbed by Zachary Levi. This is my first animated character that I digitally painted.

It took me a day to finish this artwork. As usual, tutorials had a lot of help. Just ask Google and YouTube. I am trying to attempt more complicated strokes. Soon, more personal cool artworks will bee posted.

I would like to share this reference if you want to try a pinch in digital painting.
