The rankings for these art schools are determined based on factors such as student work, job placement percentage, value (cost-to-benefit ratio), and reputation (the presence of alumni in the industry).</span></h1><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227);

You can visit the school's websites and assess the student work for yourself to determine if a school truly deserves the title of the #1 art school. The truth is apparent to everyone, much like the tale of the Emperor's New Clothes. These rankings may be more inclined toward abstract and contemporary art museums. The schools I present here cater to those interested in commercial art—creating realistic, representational art for use in movies, games, and related industries.</p><h2 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; line-height: 1.333333; margin: 2rem 0px 1rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Types of Art Education</h2><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">Before delving into the top art schools, it's essential to understand that there are three primary types of art education:</p><h3 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 1rem 0px 0.5rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Art Schools</h3><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">Art schools are what most people typically associate with an art education. They offer an immersive experience, with students taking 4-5 art classes per semester. Skilled teachers provide guidance to help build a solid foundation in art. You'll be fully immersed in the world of art, surrounded by like-minded individuals who will become your friends and peers. However, it's worth noting that tuition costs can be steep, often reaching around $200,000. But fret not, as having an outstanding portfolio can unlock significant scholarship opportunities.</p><h3 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 1rem 0px 0.5rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Universities</h3><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">For those seeking a more affordable option, universities with strong art programs, particularly state schools, could be an excellent choice. Here, you can balance a comprehensive education with your passion for art, all while interacting with students from diverse backgrounds and majors. However, universities may limit you to 1-2 art classes per semester, with a focus on conceptual thinking rather than practical execution. Nevertheless, they offer a wide range of majors and innovative hybrid programs, providing unique opportunities.</p><h3 style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; color: var(--tw-prose-headings); font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 1.25em; line-height: 1.6; margin: 1rem 0px 0.5rem; white-space: pre-wrap;">Private Art Academies</h3><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81); color: #374151; font-family: Söhne, ui-sans-serif, system-ui, -apple-system, "Segoe UI", Roboto, Ubuntu, Cantarell, "Noto Sans", sans-serif, "Helvetica Neue", Arial, "Apple Color Emoji", "Segoe UI Emoji", "Segoe UI Symbol", "Noto Color Emoji"; font-size: 16px; margin: 0px 0px 1.25em; white-space: pre-wrap;">Private art academies are a lesser-known path to becoming a professional artist. While they may not offer the same level of enjoyment as traditional art schools, some classes may be conducted online or in small office settings. These non-accredited institutions are tailored to students committed to pursuing careers in the entertainment industry as professional artists. You'll learn from industry experts genuinely dedicated to your progress. Private academies provide flexibility and affordability, with classes typically priced around $800 for a 10-week course. However, keep in mind that they do not confer degrees or certificates, and your learning journey will be self-directed.</p><p style="border: 0px solid rgb(217, 217, 227); box-sizing: border-box; caret-color: rgb(55, 65, 81);

WORKSHOP OVERVIEW and ATTENDEES<br />
<br />
Hey guys - sorry I haven't posted on this blog in like... a year. haha.<br />
Today, I took a photography workshop with Rey Trajano. It was a $150 3 hour workshop and there was about 23-25 attendees. Some students even flew out from Canada, San Francisco, and Massachusetts. I originally heard about this workshop because Evelyn Lin announced on her instagram that she was going to model at this workshop. I thought it would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet her in person and brag to my guy friends.<br />
<br />
When I got to this workshop - apparently, all the other attendees had the same idea. Most of the students were asian guys of all age ranges. I'll be honest, one of two of old men even looked a little bit sketchy. :)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I made friends with some of the attendees. Some of them were professionals who shot weddings, gradations, baby photos etc.. Some of them were making the transition to becoming a professional photographer and had jobs while doing some photography jobs on the side. One of the guys even admitted he was just a "dirty old man" - haha - and did glamour photography for fun. Gotta love that honesty. There was a lot of truth in that, even though we were all here to learn photography from Rey, a lot of the students were here for the models (almost half of the guys requested to get pictures with Evelyn during the workshop. It was part photography class/ part meet-n-greet. This was Rey's first photography workshop, of course he is a very big name with 10 years experience in the industry, but this strategy of hiring very well-known models definitely did help lure guys to the workshop.<br />
<br />
LECTURE<br />
<br />
Rey than did a slideshow for about an hour showing us various photos he had taken, and his thought process behind his preparation, shooting and post-production process. The students asked a generous amount of questions and he gave us lengthy and thorough answers to them. It mostly seemed like a stream-of-consciousness format of some general tips and advice on how he does things. He told us about some specific techniques.. such as shooting in tunnel to get the "light-gradient" effect. But he didn't get too specific about a certain workflow - he kind of danced around the issue and said that there are many schools of thought to different styles of photography and it's all personal preference.<br />
<br />
DEMONSTRATION<br />
<br />
Next we got to shoot with the models Elizabeth Tran and Evelyn Lin - which was very exciting. The students gathered around the model and began shooting pictures. Below are some photographs of Elizabeth Tran with an outdoor shoot. You may notice there is significant photoshop and gradients in the photos. I was just playing around with the effects.<br />

Next we got to shoot Evelyn Lin in an indoor shoot. We got to use the strobe, so each person got about 1 minute to shoot with the special equipment. Elizabeth Tran was really stressing out important and helpful it was to communicate with the model and give the model direction so they know what to do. It seems like this is a mutually collaboration between the model and the photographer. I saw many of the other students attempt to give Evelyn direction on the types of poses and being specific about what they wanted. When I had my 60 seconds with Evelyn, I tried to give her direction on specific poses and ideas I had. As you can see with the post-effects, there was a specific vision with each pose. I already saw her do the same "model" poses for the last 30 minutes, so I wanted to try something different.<br />

<br />
It was definitely a good experience giving the model direction and working with them to carry out your idea. I was VERY NERVOUS during my 60 second photo shoot, and telling Evelyn what to do. But.. I can definitely incorporate this practice of giving the model direction into my figure drawing sessions. I learned to definitely don't be shy about directing the model in certain poses (although don't be a pervert and of course be polite about it). A lot of times I assume that a good artist or photographer should be able to draw/ make anything look good. But there is a lot of skill and consideration into choosing the right pose for a particular artistic direction. It makes a big difference in the final outcome.<br />
<br />
POST - PRODUCTION<br />
<br />
Finally Rey taught us some of his post production stuff. Rey taught us his technique on how to dodge and burn. He opened up Photoshop, create a 50% grey layer set to "soft light" - with an Greyscale layer above to turn everything greyscale, and use the very soft and gentle black and white small airbrush to smooth out the model's face and lighten up the bags under the eyes. It was a very precise and natural way of editing the photograph without doing anything destructive. Rey said he would spend a minimum of 15 minutes per photograph in the post-production process.<br />
<br />
(lol - for my event photography, I spend like.. 1-5 minutes MAX per photograph).<br />
<br />
MOTIVATION AND ADVICE<br />
<br />
One of the last parts of the workshops was a Q and A with the instructors and models. I was really surprised because I learned a lot from the models. It one thing to get advice from the photographer's perspective, and it's also really important to understand the model's perspective since a photoshoot is a collaboration between two professionals.<br />
<br />
Elizabeth Tran told us things like... be professional, be on time to the photo-shoots, scout out the location beforehand and never, never, never hit on the models. Tiffanie Marie (who is a model AND a photographer) talked about how important it was to make time to practice your craft, even if we have a day job and are transition to their industry full-time.<br />
<br />
I asked Rey Trajono about short-term vs. long-term goals - an issue I'm currently facing. It's easy to make money now doing stuff like... weddings, baby photos, birthday parties. But it's also important improve your craft so you can elevate your artistic skill and vision so you can be an amazing photography in... 5 or 10 years. Rey said that when he was improving his skill 10 years ago, he worked AND THEN... those high-paying jobs then started coming.<br />
<br />
CONCLUSION<br />
<br />
Overall, I was a little disappointed I receive some kind of secret technique to make my photos instantly better. I thought if I bought the right lens, or had the right settings... BOOM - then my photos would look amazing. Sadly, that is not the reality. You can see from my blog, and I have taking masterclasses from professionals from Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, Blizzard etc... and one thing I always take away from these classes is that there is no magic "brush" or "lens" that will instantly make you better. These professionals don't seems to be doing some kind of secret trick. I think it's a culmination of all the things that are apart of the craft.<br />
<br />
If I were to break it down, I would say that there are 3 parts to good photography.<br />
<br />
<b>1) Preparation </b><br />
- Having a concept or artistic vision of what you want to achieve.<br />
- Simple things such as charging your batteries, bringing the right equipment, reflectors etc...<br />
- Being prepared by scouting location and knowing where to shoot<br />
- Communicating with the model on what outfit she will wear<br />
- Knowing specifically what time of day you will be shooting and prepare for that. (For example, during the workshop, Rey said that he would shoot beach shots during the morning to get golden light, not during the afternoon. That is an important distinction because if he shot it during the afternoon, the sun set over the ocean, and everything would get blacked out. It would be okay to shoot during the afternoon on the EAST COAST, but you need to shoot during the morning on the WEST COAST.<br />
<br />
<b>2) Execution</b><br />
- This is the part where you actually take the picture.<br />
- Adjust the settings on the camera. Take your time so it is exposed properly.<br />
- Adjust the strobes, screens, reflectors if necessary.<br />
- I think most importantly is to <b>direct the model</b>, build rapport with them and talk to them.<br />
For example... when I am doing event photography, I occasionally will ask my subjects to... scoot this way. Move over here. Do this, or do that pose. Talking with the subject and directing them is a very important skill of the photographer that is ofter overlooked and undervalued by non-photographers.<br />
It makes a BIG DIFFERENCE when you direct the model in a way so that the picture is optimized for your artists vision vs. you just let them do whatever they want that does not serve the photograph. <br />
<br />
<b>3) Post Production</b><br />
- This is the part where you need to be patience and just do what it takes to polish things up and make it look professional. Sure... erase pimples, smoothing out the skin, and correct are very subtle things. But it separates an amateur vs a professional.<br />
- Or sometimes the post production is APART of the artistic vision and can dramatically alter a photo. It almost becomes part photo-manipulation or a digital painting. Changing a photo to black and white, sepia, or adding a gradient to a photo should be done with intent and purpose. But if it is apart of your concept - it can add a lot.<br />
<br />
Most photographers tend to "hide" their post production process. However, this NYC based photographer - <a href="https://www.instagram.com/bran.wolf/?hl=en">Bran.wolf</a> highlights his process by showing the before and after!<br />

<br />
Actually, one of MY personal favorites was this photo with Evelyn Lin.<br />
<br />

<br />
1) Preparation. I had an artistic vision. All the other students wanted Evelyn to do something "sexy" - but I thought I would be different and do something "cute." I said to myself that I wanted this photograph look like those Japanese Kawaii photos with kind of an SnapChat/ Photo Booth filter. It's trendy right now in Snap Chat.<br />
<br />
2) Execution. I asked Evelyn to do that "cat thing" that girls do. I know Evelyn likes cats from her instagram profile. And this pose came very naturally to her. I took the photo. Done.<br />
<br />
3) Post-production. I used the dodge/ burn technique that Rey taught to add some details. Adding a "doe-eye" make-up effect to make the eyes look a bit bigger. And accentuate some of the wrinkles on the forehead to really sell the facial expression. I also lightened the skin because the Japanese make-up style is more "pale-skin" oriented. Lastly, I added a bunch of sparkles, stars and pink shit to close the deal. I even added cat eyes and a meow.<br />
<br />
Yes... I know photograph this isn't superb or anything. But I like that it is fun and different. And most importantly, I had an artistic vision, I executed it, and followed through in post production. I completed the exercise.<br />
<br />

+ First <a href="http://www.chris-chien.com/blog/archives/04-2015">INSTALL at Discovery Cube</a> as “set dresser” for BaAm Productions!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ First in-house position at <a href="http://rhetro.co/">Rhetroactive</a>. Got inside look at project process. Learned a lot!</span><br />
<div>
</div>
<div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Raised my day rate to $400! (was $300 back 2013)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">+ Was able to make enough money to give my parents $1500 almost every month (paying back college loans).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">- Worked in an office 9-5 was mentally and physically exhausting. I had trouble getting along with my co-workers. 3 hour commute to LA felt like torture. Worked hard but burned out. Quit my job in October for a vacation.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">L - At the end of everyday - I would always ask myself, did I produce $400 worth of artwork today? This behavior pushed myself to deliver as much as I could - sometimes driving myself towards exhaustion. However, I learned that you have to pace yourself when working in an office environment. Think longer term. Not a sprint.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">L - Long term strategy is to create my own style of art and focusing on doing what I love. Prior to this, my strategy was to just... (<b>2013</b>) get my foot in the door. (<b>2014</b>) - get as much experience as possible. (<b>2015</b>) work in-house to understand project flow. And for <b>2016</b> - it will be about creating a niche market and specialization for myself. Big goal is to be happy and to enjoy my work! :)</span></div>

By being truly yourself and letting your own light shine, you are unconsciously encouraging others to do the same.</span></span><br />

<i><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">These are goals I set for 2015. I evaluate if I accomplish them or not. </span></i></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><b></b><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">1) I’m grateful and humble</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Not really. I complain a lot and I’m still very arrogant. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">2) I’m thoughtful, considerate and kind</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Maybe I’m a little bit more thoughtful. I think I’m improving and definitely more aware. But I still look out for myself first. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3) I’m very generous</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Because I’ve been making more money this month, I feel a lot more comfortable shelling out gifts. Been giving my parents $1500/ month which I’m very proud of. But when there is a lack of income, I become stingy again. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">4) Redo Portfolio website - client friendly</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Yes definitely! I’m loving the “About Me” video, Pricing, Booth section and Blog that I updated on my website. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">5) Passive Income for Legendbrush</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Tried selling prints on Etsy, but wasn’t that popular. I didn’t feel like the product was that good to begin with cuz the prints were so small. Classes?</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">6) Make Legendbrush parties better</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The parties ARE better. The Caricatures now come with a cool plastic bag. My technique is improving. I have these new cardboard things. I still want to do a marketing video for the parties though… </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">7) Out of state conventions (fun/travel)</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Nope. Stopped doing conventions altogether. No longer that fun/ want to go down that route. Considering going legit and doing “wonder gallery” at downtown disney?<b> </b></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">8) Exercise More</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Started playing basketball at my new house! I miss swimming at the swimming pool near my old house. But I guess it’s time to move on. I need to embrace the present and where I am right now. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">9) More effort into family, friends, girlfriend</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">My girlfriend doesn’t have time for me. lol… I don’t think it’s about “effort” - it’s about <span style="text-decoration: underline;">compassion, kindness and patience. </span></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">10) Like and accept myself</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Gary V. has an interesting take on “self-awareness.” Focus on your strengths and don’t give a fuck about your weaknesses. That is a good and interesting take on self-acceptance. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">11) Put more effort into Fashion</span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I still kind of suck at fashion. I tried starting a tumblr thinking I would do a fashion blog - but it was a lot harder than I thought. I like girls who are good at fashion - but I just don’t like putting in all that effort / don’t value the outcome I guess. I feel like a lot of fashionable clothes are uncomfortable or I might ruin them. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around August… I kind of got bored with my goals because they weren’t very actionable. The main ones being… <b>1) I’m grateful and humble, 2) I’m thoughtful, considerate and kind, 3) I’m very generous. </b>So I changed them…</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This was a good goal because strength refers to both physical and mental. I AM a strong person, but the problem is that I am often too “rigid.” I strain and injury my neck from sometimes trying TOO hard. I think I need to be more chill, flexible and relaxed. </span></div>
<div style="min-height: 14px;">

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I tried my best, but honestly a lot of times I feel alone, disconnected and isolated. This still needs work. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This is a pretty good goal. I try to just let things unfold and take it easy instead of worrying so much about the final outcome. </span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I did couple of Greg Pro/ Chris Turner copies - which was fun and very educational. But I feel like the right step is for me to develop my own style and artistic taste— understanding what my strengths are and capitalizing on that. I think it’s important that I have fun have experience joy when I am creating artwork. When I am having fun, that is when the best work emerges. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I downloaded a bunch of TED talks on sex and tried to immerse myself a little bit more on the topic so it’s not so awkward. I’m making “have sex” a goal for 216. </span></div>

<b><span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">3) I allow others to feel. Loved, appreciated, respected, valued, heard, understood, important and cherished. </span></b></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica;">
<span style="font-family: "helvetica neue" , "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I’m working on this - and it’s good that I have this intention. </span></div>

So my sketchblog is in shambles. Haven't really posted much art on it. It's mostly articles and so disorganized. Here are some of my sketches from 2015. Below are some Greg Pro studies - one of my favorite theme park illustrators. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And after that are a lot of the sketches of pretty girls from my <a href="https://www.instagram.com/legendbrush/">instagram</a> account. Honestly - it's a dream come true to just draw pretty girls. When I was in high school and I saw cute girls on tumblr - I wish I had the time to draw them - but I always too busy with homework. Now - it's nice that I like... get to draw whatever I want. :)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Instagram is nice because it's quick, and you get better engagement with fans with likes and comments. But I still like blogger because I have an Archive that goes back many many years. And it's nice to be able to see some history. </div>

I don't keep track of my percentage, I just timed myself how long it takes because it is easier. Just 4 weeks ago, it took me 10min 40sec to hit 10 3-pointers. Next week, it was 9 minutes. Then 7 minutes. Then 6 minutes. Now it is 2 minutes. <br /><br /> This is my blog post about how I methodically and deliberately practiced to get this 5x improvement. I used techniques I learned from learning piano and dance (and a little body building).. Harnessing muscle memory, technique and incrementally building speed. <br /><br /><br />

<br />
<b>Practicing "perfect" form </b><br />
<i>(form is VERY important in dance and especially TENNIS)</i><br />
Even though I kind of suck at basketball, my friends say that I have good "form." It's a habit for me. I think form is super important because form is super important in Tennis - hitting top spin, back spin, different types of serves. When I was practice piano - my piano teacher made me spend 8 weeks doing boring exercises - to properly "reset" my form into my muscle memory. I want to start with good form, cuz it's harder to correct bad habits.<br />
<br />
In basketball, somethings I exercise I did to get form include...<br />
- hitting the side of the backboard. Making sure your alignment is correct.<br />
- also.. standing beneath the basketball, and spinning the ball up to get good arc.<br />
- also.. cocking your wrist. (Similar to tennis.) By doing so you get more spin.<br />
<a href="http://www.4hourlife.com/three-pointer/">Tim Ferris 3 pointer video</a><br />
<br />
<b>Practice fine motor control + power separately</b><br />
<i>(Spartan Run spear throwing <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2UVqp3bpbo">video</a> - )</i><br />
I wasn't just practicing good form, I also wanted to get power. When I was learning how to throw spears in spartan run - I practiced power and control separately. After I got the hang of both - I combined them together.<br />
<br />
In basketball - I originally wanted to shoot 3-pointers, so I could shoot better free-throws. I honestly had trouble making free throws - believe it or not. lol I thought - if I practiced using my legs and having explosive power with my long distance shots - that would also translate into my mid-range shots. (The idea is also to over practice - like in cross country. My coach would have us train 8-mile runs, even though our races were only 3 miles.)<br />
<br />
<b>Video Documentation</b><br />
(youtube and dance)<br />
Sometimes, you think you are doing great. but when you look at the video - you realize you are shit.<br />
you can use videos to track yourself and and make progress. This is a video of my shooting free-throws. It took me 7 minutes to make 10 shots. I wasn't that good. I was still working on my "sweep and sway" technique to generate power, and I wasn't squaring up my shoulders. By recording yourself - you can see what you form looks like. Good technique is important to me.<br />

<br />
<b>Incremental Gains</b><br />
<i>(Body Building)</i><br />
When I was reading Tim Ferris's book - 4 hour body. I was able to increase my max bench press by 50 pounds! (110 - > 160lb), by only working out 1 time a week - for about 30-45 each time. I used a really structured system, where I only increased my weight by 5-10% each week (the difference was sometimes so minute, I was using 2.5 lbs). And I have very specific sets and reps to do.<br />
<br />
I knew that if I simply practiced 3 pointers very week. Mathematically, I could increase my percentage of making shots. The first week it took me 10 minutes. The next week it took me 9 minutes. So I knew this theory was correct. However, I had no idea I was going to improve to the point of making 10 3-pointers in 2 minutes. That is a 500% improvement in accuracy/ time.<br />
<br />
For course - I practiced very methodically and every weekend.<br />
<br />
<b>Start slow and increase slowly. </b><br />
<i>(dance and piano)</i><br />
In piano, if you want to play a fast piece (presto 160 bps)<br />
What my piano teach taught me.. you use the metronome, and you start slow. First you do at maybe 80 bps - and get all the notes right. When you get it perfect slow, then you move it up one notch maybe to 90 bps. And when you get all the notes right and make no mistakes playing through.. then you go to 100 bps. All the way until you finally get to 160 bps.<br />
In dance, learning isolation, it's the same thing. You start super slow. When you eventually dance with music, it looks good. Also choreography - you start very slow when learning the routine. And eventually go faster until you can dance with music.<br />
<br />
so with BASKETBALL... I started right under the basketball hoop - super EASY shot. And I would time myself how long it would take to make 10 shots. 5 minutes. 4 minutes. 3 minutes. 2 minutes. Good! Then I take a step back. 4 minutes. 3 minutes. Good! Take a step farther back until at the 3 point line. 7 minutes! 5 minutes. 4 minutes... Slow slow and methodical practice. To practice 3 pointers, I didn't start by practice 3-pointers. I started by practice right underneath the basket.<br />
<br />
<b>Doing a lot of research on youtube</b><br />
I realized that "basketball" is a very popular sport - lol - and there are many many tutorials out there to teach you how to get better at shooting. Here are some techniques I thought were helpful...<br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EO-bHG_1c3I">"Sweep and sway" - technique</a><br />
<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SU1HDA6bR1U">"one motion shot" vs "two motion shot"</a><br />
This week, I was able to improve my 3 pointers, because I think I was finally also to integrate getting spin on my ball, using legs to generate power, and the "one-motion shot" technique. Typically when I shoot close to the basketball hoop, I do a 2 motion shot. However, when I shoot a 3-pointer, I have to do a 1-motion shot to get more power. It doesn't make sense to shoot the ball differently when you are at different parts of the court. It makes more sense to just have one type of shot.<br />
<br />
Because I was practicing a specific drill today - the between the legs, step-back jump shot, I accidentally forced myself to practice a 1 motion shot at close-range. I was doing this while drilling good form - good alignment, cocking my wrist, following through. And then when I went to do 3-pointers, and finally got my rhythm down.. and then I timed it.. and my 3-pointers got super good super fast! I made 10 shots in 2 minutes! crazy.<br />
<br />
<b>Good Motivation</b><br />
One of my motivations to get good was simply so I good beat my friend at basketball. Having someone to play against (or keep you accountable) really helped keep me focused. Tim Ferris calls this "stakes." If there is nothing at "stake" - you don't really have motivation to practice.<br />
<br />
So anyways... when you are playing 1 vs 1 - a "3-pointer" is worth 2 points, and a lay-up is worth 1 point. So basically - if you are able to make 3-pointers - it's like capitalizing on something that is super overpowered! lol It's worth double of a normal short. So I felt like it would be a really worthwhile goal to be able to learn how to make 3-pointers.<br />
<br />
<b>Having Fun</b><br />
<i>dance, video editing</i><br />
I really practiced a lot because I was having fun. I think it's because there is a social element going on - and there is a competitive element. A lot of times when I draw - I kind of isolate myself - so I don't improve much. But with dance, basketball and video editing - there is a community and it really helps make it fun. I don't feel like I am working when I am playing basketball. But I feel like I am "working" when I am drawing - why the fuck is that?<br />
<br />
-------------<br />
<br />
<b>The point of this post</b><br />
So this blogpost isn't so much about basketball -it's more about learning and growth hacking.<br />
I didn't have a "plan" when I was trying to get good at basketball. But when I learning - I was utilizing a lot of other learning "methods" from other disciplines and applying it to basketball. I have 10+ years in piano. 4+ years in art. 4+ years in tennis. So I'm not saying there is one way to learn something. But I would try to use a method of learning that has WORKED FOR YOU THE PAST. <br />
<br />
I'm a really methodical person, so I used a really methodical way. One of my favorite artist - <a href="http://www.robotpencil.net/">Anthony Jones </a> - was really good at video games before he was good at art. And he basically used the techniques he got good from playing videos games and treated art like a "game."<br />
<br />
For me - I didn't relate to his way of practicing - because I suck at video games! So I don't get a lot of his analogies and techniques. What I'm saying here for basketball - might not work for you - because my background is in piano, tennis, dance - a lot of former training involved. You might not get it.<br />
<br />
On the other hand - on the reasons why I struggle with art - is because I've always had a teacher guiding me and giving me homework. My method to get good was to just.. listen to what the teacher had to say, and do double the amount of homework he gave me. And I would excel at the class. However, if I'm doing something where I don't have a teacher (theme park illustration) - then I have to figure stuff out on my own - and use a new learning method - which I'm experimenting with now.<br />
<br />
This is good blog post for me. :)<br />

<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/mcqnfGr3Dr8/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/mcqnfGr3Dr8?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
So tomorrow I'll be doing a 2 hour presentation at Carnegie Mellon. I'm a little bit apprehensive because I didn't really get along with a lot of my classmates during school (socially - yes, but academically - not really). I was a bit of an odd-ball, and one of my reasons of going back is to talk to the other "oddballs" and tell them it's going to be okay. lol<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Not the Typical Artist</span></b><br />
I've gone to a lot of presentations by really great artists - and typically the presentation is about how 1) how they got bad grades in school. 2) they worked really hard at work and became successful. 3) do what you love. Believe in yourself and follow your dreams.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">I Got Good Grades </span><br />
My story is a little bit different, because first of all - I got really good grades in school. I would get mostly all A's - with one B. I was pretty smart, but I wasn't the smartest in class. By 3rd grade - I developed my strategy. I knew I could get a 92% on a math test, but there was always 2-3 students who got 100%, 97%, 95%. I felt that if I couldn't be the #1 in academic subjects, I could become the #1 in Art. That was my strategy.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Art Competitions</span><br />
I was really lucky to train in art at a very young age. I started taking art classes when I was 6 years old. You know how Chinese kids like to compete at everything? I started competing in Art competitions when I was in 1st grade. At first - I didn't do really well because I was so young. But around 5th grade I a 1st place in a X-mas card competition and won $50.<br />
<br />
I was very serious about these competitions. There was this one art contest that was pretty hardcore. It was a regional poster art contest for all Chinese Schools in Southern California. It was intense because they give you the theme beforehand. You go into the competition room - and you have 2 hours to execute the poster during that time. You had to be fast and efficient. The first time I did that competition, I didn't finish in time because I was too slow. I remember my parents were outside the competition window telling me to hurry up - but I took my time - thinking I would be okay. The next year, I rehearsed the poster and practiced at home about 2-3 times. Maximizing the efficiency of the artwork.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">My Art Teacher Closes down his Studio... how that affected me</span></b><br />
Around 10 years old, my first art teacher - Able - shut down his art studio. He wasn't making enough money because he was not keeping track of accounting and couldn't pay the studio rent. His wife used to take care of all of that - but since he had a son - she wasn't able to do accounting for him At that time, I knew that I wanted to be good at art, but also good at math, money, accounting and <b>business</b>.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Why I became aggressive in marketing my art</span></b><br />
When I was in 6th grade, the principle announced to the entire school at an assembly, that a girl in my class - Grace - would be drawing the back cover of the yearbook. She was a pretty good artist - we were about the same level. But I was jealous. I remember seeing her work on the drawing, and I was thinking.. I can probably do better than that. From then on, I knew I couldn't just be GOOD at art, but I would need to make an effort to publicize my talent and let people know I was good - aka <b>marketing</b>.<br />
<br />
I continued to win art competitions all throughout middle school and high school. Honestly, although my parents supported me, they were very weary on my economic viability as an artist. My father was an engineer, my mom an accountant - you get the gist. I wanted to prove to them that it was a economic viable career by simply winning competitions. I won about $10,000 in scholarships + competition money by high school. And another $70,000 for Carnegie Mellon. But honestly, winning these art competitions when the age group is 12-18 years old, when you are the oldest in the category. It's easy and not very fair. It got much challenging when I entered college.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">High School Years were the toughest</span></b><br />
High school years were very very rigorous. AP courses, SAT I & SAT II classes, Track/ Field, Piano, Community Service, Art Club, Chinese School, Art Center Saturday high classes. <b>I was working 14-20 hour days</b>. (This is important, I will explain why later) I would go to sleep around 11pm, and wake up around 4 am to do homework. My weekends were harder than my weekdays because of my Art Center Saturday High, Chinese School, Community service combo. And my summer/ winter breaks, were more rigorous than my school year because of SAT boot camp. In case you are wondering, I scored 2010 on my SATs (which was disappointing because I invested so much time and effort into that shit. My best SAT "practice" score was 2200 or something, guess that was a fluke). I had a 4.0 weighted GPA - which was good, but nothing really special if you are applying to a school like UCLA (I didn't get it). Again, I wasn't the best at academics, but in terms of art - I was one badass mother-fucker. I was mediocre in academics and I took out my frustration by dominating art competitions. I would get pissed off when I didn't get 1st place.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>$70k Scholarship to Carnegie Mellon</b></span><br />
I had a portfolio set for Art Center - arguably one of the best art colleges in the world. It was format designed by my instructors to impress admission counselors and get big scholarship money. All of my friends were getting in WITH scholarship.<br />
<br />
I didn't wanted to go to Art Center. Reason #1 - I was already there for 4 years during high school. I got the gist of it - work so hard you almost die. *check* I wanted something more. Reason #2 - I spent so much time on academics and SAT scores during high school. Art Center didn't care about my academics. I didn't want my high to go to waste. Reason #3 - Carnegie Mellon seemed really fun and it was a school that seemed to appreciate my skills in leadership, community service, and interdisciplinary activity. They also gave me a lot in scholarships.<br />
<br />
Overall, I really enjoyed my years at Carnegie Mellon. I've never had so much fun in my life with friends, girls and parties. Compared to a stereotypical white frat boy - I probably am nothing in terms of parties - but for me - it was 1000x the social life I had during high school!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;">Bad Grades</span><br />
In terms of school... I was okay during drawing class during the first year. But I had a hard time with "design class." Most of the time, I didn't understand what the teachers were saying. This one project, I got a D because I didn't understand the assignment at all. But all the other students liked my work.<br />

I worked hard enough to pass the classes and stuff. But I sought to use my creativity elsewhere. I joined a dance crew and learned popping and I got really good at it. I also did this thing called "Booth" - where I built this carnival installations. It was really dope.<br />
<br />
During college, I didn't work AS hard as I did in high school. But it was still very stressful. I occasionally had 14-20 hour days, but I don't think as often. The weather and environment was more stressful than living at home as a highschooler. After senior year - I had insomnia for an entire year - it was like PTSD! haha (but I'm sure much less severe) But still.. it was rough.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>My Journey as a Freelance Artist in Video Games and Movies</b></span><br />
Here are some freelance stuff I did for videos games after college. I thought I was going to be an environment artist, because my friends Kalen and Jason were both environment artists. People said it would be easier to get a job as a environment artist than a character artist. Funny thing is.. most of the jobs I got as a concept artists were for character. Not everything people say will be true for you.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Crime Noir - $15/ illustration</span></b><br />
1st freelance job. It was about $150 for these 10 illustrations. Lineart was already made - so just colorist. Super low pay (<u>$5/ hour</u>?) - but I was happy just to get the experience. I didn't really like the art style though.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">SASE Animatic Commercial - $500</span></b><br />
My friend animated the project. I felt like I made pretty good money on this. The company had a budget of about $1000. My friend and I split it. I kind of feel like she deserved more of the money though - because the animation was probably harder.<br />

During this time, I was working at Disneyland as a name painter. It was nice to have a steady job - because freelance is unsteady. And I was using this job to further my education at the time.<br />

<br />
Eventually I started working in theme parks after I created a specialized portfolio.<br />
<b>1st theme park job - $1300 </b><br />
<b>- wow! more than I've ever done. </b><br />
12 illustrations. (worked about to about $27/ hour)<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>2nd theme park job - $2250 wow!</b><br />
$300/ day rate.. 7.5 days<br />
11 sketches, color, and graphic design. Best so far!<br />
<b><br /></b>
<b>3rd theme park job - </b><b> 6.5 days. $1950! great!</b><br />
$300/ day rate. Only did 3 illustrations.<br />
$650/ illustration. Sounds good to me!<br />
<br />
<b>4th theme park job - $400/ illustration</b><br />
(started to charge a flat rate for illustration. Worked out to be $16/ hour)<br />
<br />
Did a bunch of flat rate stuff. $100 sketches. $800 -$1200 deluxe color renderings<br />
Now I just do $400 day rate for my company.<br />
Recently doubled my experience, expanded to $500/ day.<br />
<b><br /></b>
I can do a LOT of sketches, and create a lot of good work very fast. So yeah..<br />

This was a super fun series to do! This is just personal work - please excuse the super cheesy names! haha. Each one of these took about 1-1.5 hours. I spent about 1 hour sketching all the concepts. I spent about 30 minutes on research and image gathering, and another 30 minutes to an hour on the actual rendering portion. Because I'm doing a lot of photo textures - it's pretty quick in terms of execution. Nothing too tight.<br />
<br />
One of the favorite parts were the logos! I spent a lot of time gather references, the fonts and the color effects. :)<br />
<br />
Below is a video of my process!<br />

Hey guys! It's rare that I get a chance to show my professional work - so I'm happy to post this today. Here is a concept piece I did for a "Journey to the West" theme park. This concept was for the children's play area of the park. It includes a "Fung Fu Training" area, a Ball Pit, and a "Meet and Greet" with the Peach Fairies. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
I did this back in 2014 when I was using a much more "traditional" workflow. This illustration took me about 2 weeks. Now - I use a workflow where I might get this done in... I'm not sure.. a lot quicker! lol I haven't done one of these Deluxe color illustrations in a while. :)</div>

I've studied a lot of "meta-learning." Tim Ferris (super learner) says that you gotta deconstruct and break thing downs in order to learn it quickly and effectively.</div>
<br />
Contrary to popular belief - theme parks are not all about RIDES! It is only one category of illustrations. In my current portfolio - my illustrations and sketches currently consist of rides. This is a research exercise to discover the gaps and develop work that I'm missing...<br />
Here are categories of Theme Park Illustrations...<br />
(Most of these images I've taken during the D23 Expo - they are property of Disney. This blogpost is for academic purpose only. Please don't sue me.)<br />

Notice the realistic rendering style. The artist probably used a 3D model as a base, used photos for the props, and photos of people with cut out filter - to accomplish more of this illustration. <br />
There is much artistic skill required in making it look engaging and lively. </td></tr>

RIDES<br />
And THEN there are rides... Notice there some are drawn very cartoony, while others look very photorealistic. Some have a very light-hearted mood - while others are very serious. There is no right "style" - it just depends on what artistic style is best suited for the ride.<br />
<br />
Most of the concept art for rides don't show an "accurate" portrayal of the ride - it is kind of impossible to show that and still make it look cool. Instead they show the feeling of the ride and the best moments all collaged together in one image. It is usually not "realistic" - but idealistic.<br />

Next we have Aerial or Birds-eye view<br />
<br />
This is probably the most lucrative and important view because it is used in marketing - and companies will only hire the best illustrators to do this job. Disney usually hires illustrators with a painterly style - like Greg Pro or Eric Heschong. However, some projects will use an architectural rendering style created in either 3D or 2D sketch style.<br />
<br />
In terms of view - the view an just be a couple buildings, an entire "land," or an entire theme park!<br />
Of course - subject matter isn't just limited to theme parks.. it can also be a casino, resort, shopping aerial etc...!<br />

So as you can see.. there are many categories of artwork with their respective functions! It's not just about rides! :)<br />
<br />
In terms of styles - you can see it ranges from very cartoony, to very painterly, to very photo realistic! The mood can range from being very lighthearted - to very dark and scary! :)<br />
<br />
Well - that's a wrap! Hopefully - I'll keep updating this as I learn more and more about the industry.<br />

<br />
Hey guys - so I'm really MIA from the blog. Recently I've been juggling multiple websites, including my Project Lifecoach Facebook Page ( https://www.facebook.com/lifecoachproject )<br />
<br />
and others...<br />
<br />
▸ INSTAGRAM - http://instagram.com/legendbrush<br />
▸ ART - http://www.chris-chien.com<br />
▸ BUSINESS - http://www.legendbrush.com<br />
▸ YOUTUBE - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX13LSwWloWfxCIw-Ev_3Gw<br />
<br />
So this is a video I made showing you how to clean your room. The whole premise is to figure out what things "SPARK JOY" in your life - and throw all your other shit away. lol<br />
<br />
<h4>
What I learned</h4>
In the book (<a href="http://tinyurl.com/tidyingup1">The life changing magic of tidying up</a>) - the author talks about organizing the following categories - clothes, books, documents, misc items, and sentimental items. It's a really in depth process and there is a lot of digging and internal reflection involved. It's like psychiatric treatment. I actually haven't fully completely the process cuz there is some areas I haven't fully cleaned up yet. I think what I really learned is...<br />
<br />
- Ask yourself if this makes you happy<br />
- Practice starting and finishing things. To a polish. Don't take on more than you can't finish.<br />
- Not finishing sucks.<br />
<br />
<h4>
What I plan on doing...</h4>
- Applying KonMari method to computer files. Storage is getting crazy. I don't think the solution is to get more external hard drives. It's to delete files that no longer bring us joy. Let go of the past.<br />
<br />
- Applying KonMari to habits and relationships. Let us live life joyously.<br />
<br />
Go read the book. Check it out from the library if you can.<br />
As a last resort, buy from Amazon. I get 4% revenue if you buy from this <a href="http://tinyurl.com/tidyingup1">link</a>.

<br />
The popularity of theme parks overseas is also leading to more jobs here. Heavy workloads have added six to 12 months of lead time to many projects, and design firms are struggling with shortages of artists, designers and technicians. Marks anticipates his team of 45 could grow to 70 by year's end.</blockquote>
<blockquote>
Contracts to complete concept drawings for Chinese theme parks bring in $500,000 to $7 million apiece, with more detailed construction plans priced at up to $15 million, industry experts estimate.</blockquote>
And that's why I'm in theme parks. Oh yeah... ;)<br />

<h4>
FRESH</h4>
1st Expo hosted by Anthony Jones - <a href="http://www.creativejuiceexpo.com/">Creative Juice Expo</a>. Overall - quite unique and cutting edge. Lots of cross pollination and diversity of speakers - including lawyers, entrepreneurs, photographers, 3-D printing and concept artists. Talks were 30 minutes each - short and concise. Most conferences like Gnomon and Massive black use all day Photoshop demos - while education can get tiring. This conference was pretty relaxing and quite exceptional for it's pilot Expo. Can see great things to come.<br />

<h4>
Thoughts and Reflection</h4>
<div>
First off - I want to THANK all the speakers for being so honest, thoughtful and vulnerable for telling us about their experiences during the workshop. I felt it was very brave and courageous of them to share things such as client experiences, income, failures and hardships. With that said - there are some things that the instructions said that I do <b>disagree</b> with - which I will discuss here. I respect the instructors immensely as artists and individuals. I hope these opinions are not seen as personal attacks - but rather discussion and opinion for the art community. :)</div>
<div>
<br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;">update: 5/13/15 - woah - it seems like I was in a bad MOOD or something while writing these thoughts. I sound like such a punk. I'm so sorry guys. lol Please take the follow thoughts with a grain of salt. </span></b><br />
<b><span style="color: yellow;"><br /></span></b></div>
<div>
<h4>
<b>Desperation pushes you toward success...</b></h4>
was a consistent theme among the speakers. Many of them spoke of a breakthrough in their career because of some big incident. John Park spoke of a time when he had to drop out of school, stop his financial aid, and help his parents because they were bankrupt. At that time, he started looking for a ton of freelance jobs. Anthony Jones spoke of a time where him and his wife were moving into a new home and he got laid off. He started gathering a fan base with his Heaven's Hell illustrations - and transitioning into immediate freelance work. Maciej Kuaciara used to be a janitor and clean toilettes - and that seems like a consistent motivation to push him towards success. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Overall - it seems many of these successful artist became successful because they had no choice. They use their determination, creativity and desperation to make that career jump. The growth was very rapid. My conclusion is... if you ever get into a bad situation... bankruptcy, laid off etc... it might be a catalyst to your big success. Maybe you will come out on top like these guys. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also - if you are growly very slowly, maybe that's not a bad thing. At least you don't have to experience such a catastrophic event. Is it possible to grow rapidly without having a fire on your ass? I'm sure it's possible too. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<b>Health</b>. </h4>
A couple of the artists spoke of their work ethic and working 12-13 hour days - including Steve Jung, Maciej Kuciara, Dan Luvisi & John Park. They mention offsetting their work schedule with exercise such as swimming and Jujitsu. Maybe these professional artists are very healthy and happy working 12-13 hours a day and they love it - I can't speak for them. I can't say for sure what their work schedules are like - or what their beliefs are... but, I'm personally really against 12-13 hour work days. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dan Luvisi has mentioned that he has been to the ER twice, and has multiple liver & kidney problems. John Park mentioned in a previous workshop that because he works so many hours in a day, he might die young. I'm calling attention to student artists that while working 12-13 hours a day might get you success FASTER - I advise artists to be patient and not do anything that could permanently damage their body.. For me personally - it literally makes me sick.</div>
<div>
In contrast, other artists also mention of creating work schedules that make time for their wife and kids - such as Anthony Jones and Ash Thrope. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
Alternatives to working 12-13 hours a day include investing more time in how to work smarter. Passive income sources such as "gum road" are good ways to supplement your income - as John Park smartly mentioned in his workshop. You can increase your rates so you work fewer hours. There are many alternatives to working 12-13 hours a day. It's just what motivates you. Personally, I want to live a healthier lifestyle and spend more time with friends and family. Other people like Anthony Jones or Ash work smarter because they are motivated to spend time with their wife and kids.<br />
<br />
Working hard is a tool. Working smart is another tool. It would be foolish to master one tool, and neglect the other. If you want to learn how to work smart - I suggest you looking into a book called "<a href="http://fourhourworkweek.com/">4 hour work week</a>." There are many principles in their such as Parkinson's Law, 80/20 rule, Outsourcing - that can be really applicable to art.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Doing Art and Making money - </b></h4>
Jung Park mentioned that people who get into art do it because they love it - not because they like money. If you want to make money - go into real estate or something.<br />
He is correct in that real estate does make a lot of money! :) However, I've always been doing art for the money! haha. I did art because I've been successful at it - I won my first $50 prize from an art contest when I was in 3rd grade. And I won $10,000 in contests and art scholarships (not including college scholarships) before I was 18.<br />
<br />
Just because you like money, doesn't mean that you HAVE to become a stock broker or real estate agent. What if you like MONEY and ART? There is no shame in that. It's very much possible to do art and make a lot of money at the same time. Steve Jung makes tons of money doing concept art. Anthony Jones spoke of a guy who makes $20,000/week doing concept art. You can have both - you can do what you love AND make a ton of money. I believe that it's possible - all the professionals at the workshop are living proof.<br />
<br />
Here is a video on why "<a href="http://99u.com/videos/22339/cal-newport-follow-your-passion-is-bad-advice">Following your passion</a>" is bad advice.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Fanbase - </b></h4>
I'm actually kind of sick of the entire art industry antagonizing clients and the "suits." I think it's very ironic that artists love their fans and provide free stuff for them - as advocated by Anthony Jones' talk. Yet, when dealing with clients - artists are compelled to "command respect" - (Steve Jung's talk). Many traditional artists - such as the masterful movie poster illustrator Drew Struzan - condemns marketers and businessmen. He really antagonizes them in many of the rants in his <a href="http://www.amazon.com/The-Art-Drew-Struzan/dp/1848566190">book</a>.<br />
<br />
In a way - your clients are your BIGGEST fans. They are paying you TONS of money for you to do art for them. Yet, many artists belittle their money-drive motivations. Artists think that they are in some way better than these businessmen. They business businessmen are evil and out to take advantage of artists.<br />
<br />
I think we should treat our clients more like beloved customers and fans. Yes - they do not have the artistic talent and eye we have - but it does not give us the right for us to think we are better than them and see their marketing, branding, and business goals as worthless.<br />
<br />
There was a time when designers and engineers would fight when designing products - now they collaborate and create great products and industrial design.<br />
<br />
There was a time when video game concept artists and modelers would fight over the character designs - now the fields go hand-in-hand.<br />
<br />
I believe we are moving in an era where artists and businessmen will collaborate together to create beautiful masterpieces of games, movies, art - while generating immense profits that allow people to make a abundant living doing what they love.<br />

So for Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi's Schoolism class - our assignment for week 2 was to do a bunch of black and white still life/ plein air paintings. We were supposed to do it with diffused lighting, and do it with just 3 values. Afterwards, we would take it to full value.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
For some reason, I thought the homework was really boring, so I just put it off and didn't do the homework for weeks! I was about to just skip this week's assignment, but instead, I changed the assignment and changed it to "<i>drawing cute and hot girls</i>" in whatever lighting I choose. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thank goodness for this dude - <a href="http://philippbroemme.tumblr.com/post/108096950655/dice-tsutsumis-and-robert-kondos-schoolism-class">Phillip</a> - I saw some of his homework and that motivated me to keep going. Originally, I made this <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/590820141050841/">Facebook group</a> with about 10 people who also signed up for the class. But it sucks balls because no one was posting except me. </div>

Too many rushed blogposts in a short period of time. Note to self - slow down and take the time you need. :)<br />
<br />
The difference betweens goals and manifestations<br />
<br />
Goals<br />
(<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3CRdPHDCC0">Will Smith Video</a>) (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1JBQMXbN2k">Arnold Schwarnegger Video</a>) (<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JRfoFGGyRvU">ET Hip Hop Preacher</a>)<br />
Detailed plan, steps<br />
To-do format<br />
Think about it all the time<br />
Limit the number of goals.<br />
<br />
Manifestation<br />
Act as if it already happened<br />
Think about it once, and let it go out to the universe<br />
You can have as many as you can imagine<br />

A lot of my art teachers say that if you are to do studies - you should only do old masters like "Sargent, Rembrant" etc... and avoid doing copies of other concept artists. I think that is absolutely ridiculous! That's like a football coach telling his football players to practice swimming to get good at football. There may be some supplemental benefits - but overall it doesn't really make sense. C'mon. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So here I wanted to practice doing a birdseye view. So I took the original image, put a gaussian blur on it, and repainted the image on top of the original while color picking and toggling the layers on/off. It took me 9 hours. Good workout. Without this photoshop technique - it probably would've taken me 2-3 times as long!</div>

So I haven't been posted many sketches on my blog because I mostly post my sketches on Instagram now. You can follow me <a href="http://instagram.com/legendbrush">here</a><a href="http://instagram.com/legendbrush"> @legendbrush</a> - although to be honest - it's mostly for my name paintings, and I only rarely post sketches. I hope to post more sketches - cuz it's really fun and it seems to be really popular among my followers. lol</div>

<tr><td><div style="text-align: left;">
So these studies were done in a method that most artists would be afraid to do. Usually art teachers will teachers you 1) to draw from life, 2) if you copy a photo, don't copy it exactly - make sure to edit and design the shapes 3) don't color pick in photoshop. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I friggen traced photos in photoshop, and color picked the heck out of those photos!! They were done super quick in like 30 minutes to 2 hrs. There were a lot of benefits from doing this.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
1) You learn a lot from tracing. I really like artists like <a href="http://www.jscottcampbellstore.com/">J. Scott Campbell</a> and <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Modern-Masters-Volume-Bruce-Timm/dp/1893905306">Bruce Timm</a> - but all their girls and poses look the same cuz of their habits and muscle memory. Tracing teaches you new habits because you aren't really drawing with your own "hand."</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
2) It's quick and pleasurable! It's really exhilarating to finish up a nice painting in 30 minutes. It makes me want to continue and be persistent in the studies. If I were to do it traditionally, I know it would take me at least 4 hrs for a nice full color study. If I were to do a traditional 30 minute gouache painting - I wouldn't capture any of the detail. But I think the detail is the best part! The detail expresses the fashion and style of the model. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
3) Subtleties. I layer the reference on top of my "painting" and I toggle it on and off. It trains my eye to be very discerning and recognize the subtleties and nuances of the photo. When I'm free painting it - I think everyone kind of goes back to their habits and tricks to make it look good. But when you are copying the photo dead on - there is a rigidity there that really trains you and makes you stronger. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I draw in my sketchbook and paint on traditionally as well. I just think this Photoshop tracing technique is a great way to compliment traditional studies. </div>

Earlier this year <a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402563099961950/">Daily Spitpaint</a> was a really cool Facebook group with a lot of great artwork and good artists. After a while, it kind of turned to crap. There is still good art there - but it's mostly crap now. With 50k members - it gets out of control. Most of these paintings were done in 30 minutes. A couple of them I took some extra time to refine and finish. These paintings were done from February 10, 2014 - April 28, 2014. During this time - I learned a LOT. A learned how to do something that looked really good in a short amount of time. It was very inspiring. (Mostly make things crisp in foreground and make the background blurry with gaussian blur. And make sure to use photo reference. lol) </div>

<br />
I really like this class so far. The video editing and everything is really great. Good job guys. I liked how Robert and Dice Tsutsumi talked about themselves. Robert said that his first job out of Art Center - his Art Director was disappointed in his work he produced compared to what was advertised on his portfolio. And I was like "Wow! same thing happened to me!" So I feel really close we Robert because I feel like he is a human being. Dice talked about how he was an aspiring baseball player - but he wasn't able to make that as a career so he took up art instead. (I think Frank Frazetta has the same story! Did you know that Mr. Tsutsumi?)<br />
<br />
I like how Dice emphasizes that importance of communicating lighting with the lighting directors. In the slideshow, he showed us his color keys, and compared them with film stills. Dice says that he learn a lot from the lighters. He differentiates between making something look pretty and making it communicate essential lighting information. I already took a class with Nathan Fowkes - who is a Dreamwork color key artist, and I'm really interested in seeing how their approaches are similar and different.<br />
<br />
<h3>
Week 1 HW</h3>
Week 1 was on diffused lighting. Homework was to create 5 still life/ plein air set-ups. Focus was on form shadow, contact shadow and soft cast shadow (basically ambient occlusion pass + local color) Dice recommended us to take reference photos of the subject matter. (I think that was only for the students who were getting paint overs, but I did it anyways)<br />

Above was the first plein air painting I did. It looked like crap. So I decided to do a master copy of the demo Dice did in class. I found that his painting was WAY SIMPLER than I thought. Step 2 was basic form rendering of the objects. Step 3 was loose treatment of the background.<br />

This was the last homework assignment. I used the soft airbrush tool + lasso for a lot of clean edges. When I rendered this I really felt in touch with the way <a href="http://janaschi.deviantart.com/">Jana Schirmer</a>, <a href="http://yohannschepacz.tumblr.com/">Yohann Schepacz</a> renders their stuff. I love their artwork and always wondered how they got that clean 3D look. Now I finally start to understand why it looks like that. Ambient Occlusion pass. That's something they don't teach you at your typical Watts Atelier or Art Center class. That's more of a 3D modeler thing.</div>

My dad saw step 2 and he was like.. so you are painting over a photo and editing it? And I was like "no.. I painted the entire thing". And I showed him step 1. "It's pretty good isn't it?" - I said. And he was like.. "No it's really good, really really nice." He was so astonished and impressed. I think that was one of the first time I remember my Dad liking my artwork. I was so happy. And then my mom came over and was like.. "That area needs to be darker and Pikachu's ear is off." -_-||</div>

Seven artists are in a room discussing what is the BEST way to get an Art job. The first artist says "I got my job through HARD WORK! I work 12-14 hours everyday. There are no shortcuts!" The second artist says - "No no no, it's all about networking. It's not about how well you draw but who you know." The third artist says - "You have to get with the times! You have to market yourself on the internet, Facebook, twitter, art station etc..." Every artist had their opinion on how to get a job and they bickered for hours without being able to come up with a conclusion.<br />

If you ever heard of the allegory about the seven blind men and the elephant - you know where this is going. Everyone has their unique perspective. Today, I would like to share my point of view with you. I'm going to discuss a methodology on getting an art job - which is based on business principles - and is what I believe to be the most DIRECT way on approaching your job search.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Overview - Traditional Method</b></h4>
<br />
First all, I want to say that there are lots of great articles out there. I think every approach is valid in there own way. What all of these articles have in common is the the idea of you being an "artist." You - as an "artist" - work hard to develop your technique, style, skill, build a portfolio and apply to jobs.<br />

<h4>
The Golden Rule for business is to Put yourself in Your Customer's Place</h4>
Even though I am an artist, I view myself as a <b>businessman</b> and the golden rule for every business man is to <b>put yourself in your customer's place</b>. And with that in mind, I developed the new paradigm of 1) understand your client. 2) build a targeted and focused portfolio from your client research. 3) get the job. Because we start from the end goal in mind, I believe this approach is much more direct. Even though this methodology has worked for myself - however I also attribute my success to a combination of hard work, networking, social media etc...<br />

<h4>
<b>Client Research Tutorial - </b><b>Step 1) Google your client/ employer</b></h4>
<div>
Just like how traditional illustrators like JC Leyendecker, and Norman Rockwell spend a lot of time and energy shooting <b>reference photos</b> for their illustrations. I think you a serious job candidate should spend a good amount of time and energy <b>studying their employer</b> before building their portfolio.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SBL50E8vJRnSduzfs0lkUUgOKRH0hQdCZIzxD8Cn2H351Gx1jUwLoY4Pg6ywglJLbVJFrUCAspFIsmpzLipFqoQHiksGc2sKuuGELxUx6sLRGwmL6CIiPEMBUPrp9p8H8kLrG5i9MGqL/s1600/google+it.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6SBL50E8vJRnSduzfs0lkUUgOKRH0hQdCZIzxD8Cn2H351Gx1jUwLoY4Pg6ywglJLbVJFrUCAspFIsmpzLipFqoQHiksGc2sKuuGELxUx6sLRGwmL6CIiPEMBUPrp9p8H8kLrG5i9MGqL/s1600/google+it.jpg" height="400" width="308" /></a></div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
Decide on your industry: (animation/ video game/ theme park design) and Google it! Try search terms such as: "<b>Animation Studio LA</b>." "<b>Theme park design studio</b>". "<b>Video Game Studio OC</b>." I can't speak for the rest of the world, but if you live in Southern California - there is an ABUNDANCE of opportunity that people are blind to (I found a list of 50+ video games studios in OC last I checked) I think it's neglectful when a student fails to research their industry because they think the only companies that exist are Disney, Dreamworks, Pixar, Blizzard etc...<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Compile your research together and find out everything you can about that company. What projects have they worked on? Company culture. Location. Blog. Twitter. Facebook page. Pretend you are a detective and learn everything about them.<br />
<br />
Some companies will have a section on their website saying they are looking for potential employees. If you have an opportunity to submit a resume - do it. </div>
<div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<b>Step 2) Research employees via Linked In</b></h4>
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTarTG82IyKNSmG8GAf_71-illH1KvTEu_bxsG0v8C6X-AV5JQ5gJNc8HyLmPJF1o4d440m7RcbJHUN-lRsBn2G8ns9OO0EeC2aot6Ri8ziKKB3d6Hvr9bPebdP_GLccxB_q4X3THilTw/s1600/employees.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgjTarTG82IyKNSmG8GAf_71-illH1KvTEu_bxsG0v8C6X-AV5JQ5gJNc8HyLmPJF1o4d440m7RcbJHUN-lRsBn2G8ns9OO0EeC2aot6Ri8ziKKB3d6Hvr9bPebdP_GLccxB_q4X3THilTw/s1600/employees.jpg" height="320" width="247" /></a></div>
<div>
Some companies have pictures and names of the employees on their website - which make it easy. For other companies, you will need to type in the company name into LinkedIn.com for a list of their employees. (the wider your network is, the more search results you will get)<br />
<br />
Artists will often have a portfolio website/ blog on their Linked in page. (If they don't - you can google their name to find it.) <b>Check out their portfolio to see what is the level of work that is required to get a job at the company</b>. You can learn a lot about the company by the type of employees that it hires. Also, you can also see their past employment history to learn about other employers that might interest you. If they are a senior level concept artist, they will often have interviews, publications, tutorials, or even classes!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Step 3) Initiate Contact + Establish a Relationship</b></h4>
</div>
<div>
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUUSltjcVJ-BwaRKns2RvNUvkWIbvrvgK_-5-a8zCUH5tbb479Z5jzXGSEPUHFEEP3fKfcnBt4tfoDXKoJZmzw1uU9NZbXB_N9BgY__8ILfy5fCB0qZB4cA9dOvr6DDNkcB3yWBAaYHEi/s1600/contact.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiUUSltjcVJ-BwaRKns2RvNUvkWIbvrvgK_-5-a8zCUH5tbb479Z5jzXGSEPUHFEEP3fKfcnBt4tfoDXKoJZmzw1uU9NZbXB_N9BgY__8ILfy5fCB0qZB4cA9dOvr6DDNkcB3yWBAaYHEi/s1600/contact.jpg" height="229" width="320" /></a></div>
<div>
<b><br /></b>
Now is a good opportunity to also establish contact with the artist who works at the company you want to work at. There are a variety of ways such as email, commenting on their blog, Facebook message etc... (if you Facebook message them, it only costs $1 to send a message directly to their inbox - a great investment! If your message goes into their "other folder" - they will NEVER see it)</div>
<div>
<br />
If you email them, remember that no one likes to give shit away for free... except for one thing - their OPINION!!<br />
<br />
<h4>
Email format </h4>
1) <b>Compliment</b> - say you've read their interview, follow their blog, like their artwork etc...<br />
<br />
2) <b>Ask for opinion on something</b>. Keep it simple and easy to answer. You should phrase it in a way that makes them feel important. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) <b>Tell them about yourself.</b> Who are you? School, experience etc... Sneak some more questions in there if you can. And a link to your portfolio.</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i>
<br />
<h4>
Example</h4>
</div>
<div>
<div>
<i>"Hey John! I just wanted wanted to say I really love your artwork man. That environment painting you last posted on Facebook is so awesome. You are an inspiration to me. </i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I'm a student in art school right now, and I was wondering if I could ask your opinion on something? What do you think is something that can make an artist stand out if they are applying to your game company? </i></div>
</div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>I'm currently going to school at xxxx and blah blah (tell about yourself and background). I really like the games that your company as worked on. I love xxxx game and xxxxx game. I actually submitted a portfolio and resume through the company website. If you have time, would you mind glancing at my portfolio and let me know what you think? (www.chris-chien.com) - that would totally be awesome. Otherwise - no problem!</i></div>
<div>
<i><br /></i></div>
<div>
<i>Have a great day man!</i></div>
<div>
<i>- Christopher</i></div>
<div>
<br />
<h4>
Be Persistent</h4>
If they don't reply to your initial reply - don't hesitate to send them another email a week later! Chance are - they were very busy - and simply didn't have time to reply. If you send two emails, it shows that you are <b>persistent and serious about your career.</b> If they still don't reply, you can try respectfully sending a third email 1 month later. But if they still don't reply, don't sweat it. There are plenty of other companies out there and people who will be happy to answer your questions!<br />
<br />
Now that you've established a inside contact at the company, try to maintain a casual but respectful relationship. Remember you a detective doing research! There is IMPORTANT information you need to know about getting a job! Within 2-3 emails exchanges, ask the following questions.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Important questions</h4>
<b>1) Who is in charge of hiring?</b> <u>This is the person who you should be contacting!!</u> Sometime the person hiring is not an artist - but instead an Human Resources person.<br />
<br />
2) <b>How often do they hire?</b> This way you can get a sense of when they might have openings.<br />
<br />
3) <b>Do they have any internships?</b> (Some large studios like Disney like these programs, but are very competitive to get in. In a <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vNBN-vgo03M">video</a>, Disney artist Victoria Ying said she applied 3 times before getting into Disney Animation's Visual Development apprenticeship program.<br />
<br />
4) <b>Do they have entry level (non-experienced) positions?</b> Some really large studios only hire senior level concept artists, which means if you don't many years of experience - you don't get a job. If that is the case, see if they can suggest some smaller studios that hire entry level positions)<br />
<br />
5) **<b>What is the job description for their ideal candidate?</b> <b>What does the ideal portfolio look like? Examples? What are the submission guidelines, portfolio requirements? Art test?** </b>This is the GOLDEN question! Remember how I told you that a businessman should think like their client? You need to find who is their "dream artist." Once you are thinking about THEIR needs instead of your own. Once you shift your thinking to helping others instead of promoting yourself - you will see a world of new opportunities!<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Step 4) Build the Portfolio</b></h4>
This part is a little bit more open ended. Now that you've established contact with your future employer, do whatever it takes to make yourself that ideal job candidate. It might mean furthering your skills by taking class, workshops, self-study, books, blogs, conventions etc... Or if your skill level is already sufficient, and you just need to do art of a certain subject matter or style! This step could take anywhere from a couple of months to a couple of years depending on where you are.<br />
<br />
Follow up with your contact whenever you finished revamping your portfolio to see what they think. Although a job is not guaranteed, you can become the first person they think of when they have an opening.<br />
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
<b>Case Study: Myself</b></h4>
<b><br /></b>
Back in 2012 - I showed my portfolio to one of my art teachers. He simply asked me - "What do you want to do?" "I want to be a theme park designer" - I told him. "Well, this actually looks more like a game design portfolio."<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnttgxBG-ieflv4Z8jbggNX0d2sC55imro8dKJIACwLcQF9RGTXL5-rQIwzFdH2gy3XTdJeTrrlEGxcnhezAy-KY-HiLSxcKbVRg36JwE_v6HerK9cHQjIjz0mrSz2eyyShsYmfehbbpSJ/s1600/change.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnttgxBG-ieflv4Z8jbggNX0d2sC55imro8dKJIACwLcQF9RGTXL5-rQIwzFdH2gy3XTdJeTrrlEGxcnhezAy-KY-HiLSxcKbVRg36JwE_v6HerK9cHQjIjz0mrSz2eyyShsYmfehbbpSJ/s1600/change.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br />
And there I had my "AH-HA!" moment. Back in 2012, I wasn't getting theme park jobs because I didn't have a "theme park portfolio." And I wasn't getting video game jobs either. Over the course of the next year, I researched a lot of theme park companies, talked to theme park illustrators, joined a club called the "Themed Entertainment Association," attended theme park conferences and read theme park blogs and books. I only added 3 new illustrations to my portfolio, and I was able to get my first theme park job and I've been working in the industry ever since then. Did my technique improve in those 3 illustrations? Not really, but the illustrations were much more informed, specific and useful! I was able to paint a much clearer vision for my employer; I was able to sell them the idea of me working on their projects.<br />
<br />
<br />
Ok - lastly, I need to tell you that every methodology has it's pro and cons. Here I will discuss some things to help prepare you.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
<b>Pros of Getting a Job FAST</b></h4>
- Positive cash flow. Once you get a job - no matter how small the company - you are earning money. Furthermore, your job can fund your further education and development of artistic skill through workshop and classes.<br />
<br />
- Learn faster. Many professional artists will tell you that their real learning started when they finished art school and started working professionally. The studio environment, other artist will inspire you. The fast deadlines will make you work faster and accumulate more experience. The job hurdles and challenges will make you stronger as an artist.<br />
<br />
<h4>
<b>Cons of Getting a Job FAST</b></h4>
- You might not be fully prepared for the job and might disappoint your employer. Sometimes your portfolio looks really awesome, but you aren't able to deliver on the job because the deadlines are too fast, the subject matter is out of your comfort zone, or you are juggling multiple clients. Even talented artists at Disney or Pixar have talked about disappointing 1-2 clients during their career. I've disappointed my employer on my first assignment as well. Everyone makes mistakes - it happens to everyone you shouldn't be afraid of making a fool of yourself.<br />
<br />
- If all you care about if getting a job and making money, you might be not artistically fulfilled or happy. Contrary to what many artists do, I make it a point to separate work and play. I create illustrations for my clients - which I enjoy doing - but I also do other types of art and hobbies that are totally fun and give me pleasure. It's important to have a work/ life balance so you don't stress out too much.<br />
<br />
- <b>This advice is only for getting your foot in the door </b>- so you can make money and gain experience. But once you get the industry, you still need invest in your long term artistic career. You may need to constantly develop your skills and work hard. <br />
<br />
- Just because I'm advertising this methodology as a shortcut does not mean that it's the fastest. As you have experienced on the freeway, sometimes the most direct route is not always the fastest or easiest. A longer path might prove to be faster or even just more pleasurable. Everyone has their own preference.<br />
<br />
- <b>This methodology does not work in isolation.</b> I have combined my knowledge of business principles with my work ethic and art training to get to where I am today. I believe you may incorporate this new methodology with what you are currently doing to get even greater results!<br />
<br />
--------------- <br />
<br />
Thank you for reading this article. I have worked on this article for about 1 an entire year and spent a lot of time thinking about it. I hope it helps you. Do try it out, incorporate the golden rule of business into your life and let me know if it works! Thanks!<br />

<br />
Yesterday, I attended a<a href="http://www.artofdq.com/"> Darren Quach</a> + <a href="http://scribblepadstudios.com/">James Paick</a> workshop hosted by Brainstorm school. It was located at James's studio - Scribble Pad studios in Glendale. There were 30 students. And it was a very very small and cozy environment - felt like a Starbucks or coffee shop. The popularity of Brainstorm can be attributed to it's<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/268049636714215/"> Facebook group</a> - which boasts 15,000+ members, and has recently become popular because of the "Batman" challenge. Brainstorm's first workshop sold out within a couple of days. The Facebook marketing was brilliant - although I don't know if it was done on purpose (if is was... genius!) Facebook marketing is unstable though- groups such as "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/1402563099961950/">Daily Spitpaint</a>" or "<a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/290155717818479/">Viritual Plein Air</a>" seem to be cool for about 1-2 months, but then quickly lose "coolness" as the group loses it's "intimacy" due to too many members. (Or people just get bored)<br />
<br />
<b>Signing up for class + Price + Format</b><br />
<a href="http://brainstormschool.com/">Brainstorm School</a> uses the platform Storenvy - which is really easy. You just click and pay online. Very simple. This seems to be the standard nowadays - no more writing checks!<br />
The class was $185 - which is on the higher end of art workshops. <a href="http://conceptdesignacad.com/">CDA</a> has 5 hr workshops for $120. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/inlandarts?pnref=story">Inland Empire Art Institute</a> offers them fore FREE! However, Brainstorm offered <b>2 instructors </b>instead of 1 - to justify it's price. Darren did a 3 hour demo. Followed by a 1 hour lunch break. And then James did another 5 hour demo. Followed by a 1 hour Q+A session.<br />
<br />
<h4>
Darren Quach</h4>
- Quick sketch. loose<br />
- used free transform tool for about <b>30 minutes</b> fiddling with proportions.<br />
- Line art<br />
- Colored it in. Add photo bash towards the end.<br />

<b>
Space to Detail Ratio</b><br />
Cluster your detail, instead of having detail all over the place.<br />
Think about your space to detail ratio. 90:10, 80:20, 70: 30?<br />
Generally larger objects (space shuttles), have a lot of space, and have detail clustered together.<br />
Generally smaller objects (children's toy), have a lot of detail uniformly all over, and little empty space. (exception would be high tech devices such as iPhone/ apple products)<br />
<br />
In the demo, Darren clustered his detail around the cockpit - which is where he wants the viewer to look. There is a lot of empty space on the "wing" - where he doesn't want the view to look. Don't have detail uniformly all over the object.<br />
<br />
This principle also applies to environments. A large space to detail ratio gives a scene that EPIC feeling. Currently, I do a LOT of detail all over for my theme park illustrations, I want to move towards a better detail: space proportion.<br />
<br />
<b>
Line weight trick</b><br />
Duplicate the layer. Erase the interior lines - where you want lighter line weight. This gives you a line weight variation without haven't to retrace the image.<br />

<br />
What I realize is that James paintings, they don't look that awesome until he does that lighting pass - which is about 75% through his process. When he does the photo bashing, it's really not THAT cool or exciting. But he is patient and methodical, he just works patiently until the painting is ready for the lighting pass and BOOM it's awesome.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This process is almost the reverse of traditional painting. In traditional painting, you kind of do the lighting pass first, and then you work your way into the detail. However, for James' workshop, he does all the detail (photo texture) first, and then does the lighting pass in the finishing stages. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This process kind of drove me crazy, and made me feel very impatient - but it was actually very efficient for James to work this way and he had a great product in the end. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<h4>
Why are you so fast James Paick?</h4>
<div>
James said he attributed efficient to his personality trait of breaking things down and categorizing things. He used to do martial arts as a kid, and you have to break down and practice the movements one by one, and then you link them together really fast. I guess how that relates is that James practices the individual components of creating a painting separately, and then links them together in the end so it's fluid. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I can relate this - this is kind of similar to the way I practice popping and dancing. It's just muscle memory. Deconstructing and breaking down steps is also a process really encouraged by Tim Ferris - who is is a master as meta learning. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>

<h4>
How to master any skill by deconstructing it</h4>

<div>
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
Other Notes</div>
<div>
- Another thing worth mentioning is that James has a strong background of games and always like blueprints as a kid. You may notice above in the "layout" phase - he created a topographic map and free transformed it onto his painting - it was like creating a blueprint. </div>
<div>
- When deconstructing your workflow - remember to practice all the step. If you have 10 steps, you need to practice and review all of them. Not just the ones you like the most. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<h4>
<b>Q + A Session</b></h4>
<div>
One of the unique attributes of Brainstorm School is it's smaller size. At the end of the workshop - we took all the chairs and formed a circle. Then we had an informal discussion where we could ask questions to Darren, James and John. I haven't seen this format done before at other workshop and it felt very valuable. They also did a raffle in the end with some free sketchbooks, prints and hard drives. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Informal Portfolio Review</b></div>
<div>
After the Q+A session there was an informal portfolio review where students could show the instructors work. I think stuff like Portfolio Reviews could use more formal structure such as lines and time limits and stuff. This part was kind of hectic and unorganized - hence they called it "informal." </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dyRuPFeFw6PDgph4QRS1Oxy-rDbi9s9lNQ05fZgOmK0Blg2__hZFuNvXDoIYCitI5xvO20LBRl1c0cDOWYirw' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div>
On the contrary - One of the most organized portfolio reviews I've ever seen was hosted by Shaddy Safadi at the <a href="http://chris-chien.blogspot.com/2013/12/massive-black-workshop-la-2013.html">Massive Black</a> workshop - he allowed each student to choose only ONE work to critique - and he set a timer of 1 minute on his iPhone. Students could get back in line if they wanted more pieces reviewed - but everyone had the same "1 minute" of critique time. I felt something like that is really effective - and I hope more studios/ schools pick up on that. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b>Overall Experience - "House Party not a Club"</b></div>
<div>
The school advertised that lunch would be provided for all students - but that wasn't really true. I asked if there was a vegetarian lunch option - and even though they told me "yes" TWICE - mind you - lunch was just a platter of turkey wraps from Costco. The staff was pretty helpful and directed me to a Trader Joes which was only about 2 blocks away - and I walked their with a friend who - like me - ALSO had dietary restrictions. Vegetarians are really common nowadays - ESPECIALLY - in the art field. C'mon - keep up with the times Brainstorm. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This was probably an honest mistake - especially for their first workshop. While James and Darren are very experienced instructors, what they lack is a dedicated admin staff like CDA. It's probably not that big of a deal - especially if you like the fact that James is operating his own art school. This is more like "house" party rather than going to "club" in LA. </div>

<h4>
<b>ISOLATION AND FOCUS</b></h4>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
John started the workshop by asking us "what makes a good image"? The students said things like.. design, detail, composition, value, color etc... lots of stuff. John's point was that there SO many things to juggle at one time. His approach was to isolate one element and work on it one at a time.. -> composition -> design -> props etc... Because he kind of works on this artistic principle one at a time - I found his approach to be really improvisational - he was really creating his piece as he goes along - instead of sketch out the rough idea and fleshing it out. This was a very fast and direct approach - he finished his piece in a 2 hours with full detail and polish - with another 1.5 hrs left of the workshop to spare!</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<b><br /></b>
<h4>
<b>COMPOSITION </b></h4>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I didn't take photos of this segment. But basically John take a cool image, posterized it. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
- duplicate, rotate, scale it -> to make his graphic black and white composition. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
This is similar to method that James Paick & Charles Lee uses for the initial part of his composition. </div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; min-height: 14px;">
<h4>
<b>UNIQUE VISUAL LANGUAGE <i>- make textures from photos and stuff. </i></b></h4>
</div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">John recommends creating your own visual library so you aren’t regurgitating the same thing over and over again. Basically, he took a T-rex skull, and made patterns of it so that it became a floor plan, tower, pillar etc...</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I can see lots of applications for abstract, sci-fi, fantasy for this technique. In John's line of work - he needs to create a lot of designs for his art director. With this method, he is able to create a visual language that is unique and completely original - cuz he JUST CREATED IT!</div>

<h4>
<b>PROPS</b></h4>
</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
John taught us to make props THEN make the environment.** (Kill 2-3 birds with one stone)</div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px;">
I think this was a valuable lesson - because I feel like it makes the painting feel more authentic then just "stock image" props. In a production environment - you are able to accomplish multiple tasks this way as well!</div>

This was the demo that John completed for the workshop in 2 hours. The uses of photo textures is really clever. He makes his own photo textures through his unique compositing method. The person in the white has suit is cut out from a photo - but he painted on top of it to add interest. My favorite part of the workshop was when he added that person. Once he added the guy in - I could understand why John had to do prep work with the environment and made those design choices. </div>
