You're A Better Artist Than You Think

Nine of my current mentees were named “Rising Stars” of 2d & 3d art by ImagineFX magazine.

In this two-part interview series, they’re here to share stories of artistic development and how being selected for the article affected their mindsets.

Illustrator Andrea Ivetic Vicai begins the episode with a positive spin on the more frustrating aspects of illustration.

Next, animation artist Lucy Ledsam talks about finding an art career that matches your personality.

VR artist Elizabeth Person and CG artist Carmen Thora Smith talk about making the switch from painting to 3d.

…and finally, character designer Laura Horan presents the benefits of an agile creative process.
