Photo texturing sketch demo for my senior students at SJSU. I wanted to show how to start with simple silhouettes and develop them through “playing around” with photographs, creating happy accidents in a very quick work flow. I also wanted to illustrate how to simplify a complex design into something much more cartoony for a 2D style show. The biggest challenge of teaching at a University is every student has different artistic goals, I try to accommodate them all. Sometimes when designing you get stuck or revert back to doing things the same way over and over again. It’s nice to have different techniques or approaches when struggling with designing something new.
College Art Photo dump
I wanted a place to put memories, sketches, and thoughts. Here is a huge batch of pictures I recently found on a hard drive from college. I went back to college in 2010. I attended Cabrillo College in Aptos California for two years and transferred to San Jose State University in 2012. SJSU’s Animation and Illustration program is five years start to finish. I graduated in 2017. There will be more of these to come.
