Humbuckin' Harold Poster, Senior Work and Summer Goals

Hello Everybody!

Long Time I know. Finally done with classes and . . .

Bam! I got a Intous5! Doing some studies and studies and studies this summer to get better.
I did this yesterday in about 4 hours.

Here are some of Montclair State University Finals work. I did a epic movie poster for my Intro to Cartooning class based from my comic strip, Hum-bucking Harold!



And for Illustration III, a  5 page of a Sci-fi comic I've been cooking called: Planet M. 







In less than a week I will be going to the ConceptArt.org London Workshop! :D
Very excited to meet people in the entertainment design industry to talk and hang out with the professionals and fresh talent. I can already feel the pre-surge of inspiration. 

This summer will be devoted to art.

1. Learning to Digitally Paint.
Have you seen that Banana? Doesn't look like it took 4 hours, but it did. I have to catch up with all these ideals I have in my head about composition and dynamic figures bring me to another point.

2. Study Anatomy
Now Im on page 34 of my Bridgman book. I want to see how far along I can get in that baby before the Fall semester starts.

3. Create Concepts Designs.
Where are my concepts? I dont have a portfolio of concept designs. I have illustration work but steady amount of pieces showing that I do concept designs.

This summer is going to be a mega push to study foundations and work towards my visual communication skills. 

This is the true heart I hold. Harold is fun, but it was only a means to eliminate my intimidation of the digital drawing tablet. I will finish the series but now I have to make great strides in towards my dream.

Phewww. Ok well, I promised that Iain McCaig interview and I will deliver. Just give me some time to paint, please.

Thank you to my followers for your support.

Sincerely,
Eric J. Kerke

An Interview with Iain McCaig

Image
       A couple of months ago I was assigned to interview a professional illustrator. So I got in contact with Iain McCaig! Here is the interview, typed word for word from a audio recording on my phone interview. Fair note, this is my first formal interview. Ejk: How much do you draw a day? IM: Everyday. No matter what. Sometimes I'm traveling, some times I'm teaching but on an average, in the studio, Monday through Friday a good working day is 10 hours. If I'm in the studio, it's the working schedule. But I draw everyday, no matter what. No matter where I am. I'll make sure I have a pen and a pad and make sure I draw something. If you miss a day, you start to forget things. No one would really notices but you will. And then after a week your audience will notice. I've been sketching since I've been a little kid. Ejk: Has this schedule been instilled since art school? IM: No. I didn't do art until my final year of high school, a...

The Hits: A Review of 2015

Image
Hello World,        I've been MIA from my blog and my website for a while now. Many of my friends have asked: "What have you been up to?" My answer is usually a lot. This year especially has put me through the paces of what I thought was possible. But, my goal has remained the same, which is my strive towards artistic excellence. This post is going to be a "Best of 2015". 1. Montclair State University: Done-zo!      Graduating from Montclair State University last year with a BFA in Illustration and minor in Creative Writing, I was thrilled to have finally completed the first chapter of my scholarly journey. I had an amazing time at MSU forming great friendships and meeting brilliant professors who have sharpened my senses to my own particular interests. Some of which, I'll get into in this blog. 2. Designing for Indie Games        While finishing school, I collaborated with Among Elusions , a start up video...
