Hello My name is Rodric Laxina I am 21 years old and I am a social work major with a minor in art, I like anime style art work and digital drawing. I don't have much practice when it comes to actually drawing but I do have a passion to create something and be creative in my own ways. I am born and raise in San Diego California, I have lived in Alaska for the majority of high school and college but moved back last year to California to be with family. One of the artist that I like is name AOKAMEI. I think that they have a very vibrant and colorful art style that incorporates a lot of line art and painting techniques that elevates their art. here is a link to their Instagram.: @Aokamei
As I mentioned earlier that I rarely ever draw but I do have a passion when it comes to art, ever since I was young I always painted using water colors or drawing on my tests, I remember I used to get in a lot of trouble for doing that. Recently I have been trying digital art and I have been researching certain programs that help with drawing on my computer. I don't attend any drawing classes as of right now but I do practice here and there when I get off work or when I take breaks from homework.
Art breaks - that sounds lovely. Good to be working with you again this semester. I need to examine why the Anime style has never resonated with me. I'm sure it would be instructive. In fact I'm getting my set list together for the summer concert season, and one of my sets is "this isn't me" and I am doing a fingerstyle instrumental piece "Always With Me" from "Spirited Away." Beautiful piece, but I don't know - even when the Godkids were totally into it.... I didn't get sucked in.
ReplyDeleteNice working with you again! I think anime style art amazes me because of its child-like essences it has, to me its like an escape from reality which is probably why I enjoy it. I am not sure if that will persuade you but I think watching people draw and animate tv shows / series takes a lot of work and I really admire their dedication to giving art meaning, depth and inspire / teach everyday people about issues that arise in real life but have this "cartoon style" to it.
DeleteHi Rodric! I think we were in a SW class last semester. I am also working towards a Major in SW and a Minor in Art. I'm hoping to use my LCSW and Art degree for Art Therapy. I really enjoy drawing also. Anime has always intrigued me! I love the styles of hair. I would doodle on my test too. Now Neuroscience shows it's a good outlet for anxiety. No more worries, you were using art to help you. I enjoyed your link. I think my favorite part of Anime is the vibrant colors and emotions in the eyes.
ReplyDeleteHi! sorry I saw this message late , nice to see you again! that seems like an interesting way to help others with art therapy, I grew up with anime and I have used it a lot to help cope with my anxiety, glad to see that it is helping in neuroscience!
DeleteHello Rodric. I really like the picture you chose. One of my daughters is a huge fan of everything anime. The artwork, the shows. I was never a fan of the shows myself but admired the artwork. Unlike the animation of my generation, the drawings for anime are much more detailed and edgy.
