I have put in blod the phrases I find interesting to remember whether since they are usefull words in Digital Arts nor for their grammatical structure. I've chosen to keep the whole sentences so it will be easier for me to remember them in a context. Even though they are easy to understand, I think it's a good thing to "stress them out" because being able to use them "without thinking" could help speaking fluently, and maybe (why not?! :P) a little bit more like native speakers.
-- Extract of an Interview with Bobby Chiu --
IT'S ART Magazine: Can you tell us more about your evolution in digital art and how and why you started using these tools to express yourself?
Bobby Chiu: I started out using traditional mediums and methods.
When I experimented a bit with Illustrator and Photoshop 3 I quickly realized that "digital" will be the way to go in the near future. With digital art there is no need to buy paint or canvases and you can take your art with you to work on almost anywhere. You can't do that using traditional materials.
IA: What was the major difference for you when using these new tools rather than traditional art tools?
BC: The main difference is definitely the speed and the time you save. With traditional mediums, oils, acrylics, chalks and watercolor, everything always took so long for completely non-creative reasons. For example, you have to wait for paint to dry. With digital art, I can paint as quickly as I can think. I'm no longer slowed down by physical laws that I cannot control. I can finally express my ideas instantly.
IA: Do you think your way of conceiving artwork has change with the evolution of the technology?
BC: Yes, definitely. I'm always looking for new ways to do things, always asking myself how can these new functions or computer power help me evolve my art? It would be foolish to learn only the basics in digital art and not progress as the technology evolves. Just as artists demand more from existing technology, new technologies also require more from the artist. It's a never-ending cycle and you have to keep up.
When I look back at personal works, I remember how I was feeling on a particular day or what kind of style I was into at the time.
When I have an idea I draw out some thumbnails to experiment with composition then I do rough drafts, followed by rough colors and finally the finished look.
I love animation and children's illustrations; they've influenced my art quite a bit.
I believe that artists do their best works when they do what comes most naturally to them. I guess I'm just naturally drawn to paintings that anyone of any age or from any culture will be able to understand.
