Design studies




These are some of the most recent examples of tests I go through when I do my design studies. I usually choose an artist who I really admire and enjoy their techniques. Currently Toru Nakayama who has done concept art and design for the Megaman Zero games is one of the 2 artists I'm fascinated with.

My design study sessions work in this pattern: Find the artist and examples of their work, copy those examples in order to understand break down of the style and the techniques they utilize, create my own designs in that style, then merge techniques I like from that style into my own.

I'm always on the look out for techniques and skills I can learn from other artists in order to push my own style to new heights. 'Cause just as a philosopher said: "The moment you stop learning, you are dead."
