171 • STORYTELLING AND ATMOSPHERE WITH RAQUEL VILLANUEVA : A CDQ ART-ICKLE

A look at an ickle article entitled 'Storytelling and Atmosphere with Raquel Villanueva', from issue 16 of the Character Design Quarterly magazine, by 3dtotal publishing. This was a brilliant article to study, I came away from it with a greater appreciation of the power of Colour in telling a Story. Some of the topics include: How Everything has Story, The Power of Exploration, Ways to Keep it Simple, Pushing Yourself without Taking Too Many Risks, How the Initial Idea is Key, The Connection between Artist, Character, and Viewer, Exploring Designs, Colours, Inspiration, Keeping the Feelings Flowing, Being Mindful of the Story You Want To Tell, Shape Language, Using Reference, and we look at Raquel Villanueva's cute lil nose. Thumbnail for this episode shows the articles finished illustration by Raquel Villanueva. Hope you love this one.
