We spent the first class with the model and then were sent off to finish it based off a picture. What can you tell us about working with charcoal and how this piece came together?Ī: This piece was actually an assignment for a college drawing class I was in and was drawn from a live model.

My favorite piece by you is Charcoal life drawing. Q: When rtil was here we talked about charcoal drawing. If they still make them I’d still recommend them as a starting tablet. I got myself a Huion 610p drawing tablet, since it was the best bang for your buck tablet at the time, and used that thing all the way until a couple months ago when I upgraded to one with a screen. Q: At what age did you become interested in drawing?Ī: Like most kids I loved to doodle and create my own comic books, but I don’t think I really focused on improving and putting more thought into it until I was probably 14 or 15. Most importantly though, Newgrounds feels like a community that’s main objective is to promote and create quality content, while the others are just companies trying to make a buck. DeviantArt is a little too “cliquey” in my opinion and reddit is just huge and of course anonymous, so it’s hard to meet other artists and collaborate or grow any sort of following. I realized just how much more I liked Newgrounds in comparison.

About a year ago though I became way more active here, and Newgrounds was (and still is) my number one place to post my art. Back then I was mostly posting art to DeviantArt and Reddit. I mostly just lurked and watched animations. That all being said I didn’t create an account until 2015 and posted art very occasionally. It took me probably until around 2013 to connect the dots and realize that all my favorite animators I’d watch on YouTube were from Newgrounds. Q: How did you find Newgrounds and why did you join?Ī: If I had to guess it would be around 2010, though at the time I only really knew Newgrounds as another site for flash games. I am pleased to welcome and this second part we will be talking with PART 1 | PART 2 ] Not only that, they are also contest winners! Today's guests are the winner of the 2020 Art-Inspired Music Contest and the winner of the 2020 Music-Inspired Art Contest. They are both underrated talents who have just started to become blips on the radar of Newgrounds. These do have significance though to be connected.
