I first joined this class for personal interest and out of curiosity. I'm really interested in technology and digital graphics, and I just want to learn everything there is to learn about this.
Usually, I'm a traditional artist who mostly paint and draw. I usually like to draw and paint deserts and out-of-this world landscapes. I also enjoy drawing animals such as insects and jellyfishes.
Here are some examples of what I usually do.
I usually get my inspiration from pictures of landscapes and nature. I also get inspired by music (my musical tastes range from NIN and Slipknot to Pink Floyd), movies (Lost Highway) and album cover art (especially those done by Storm Thorgerson). I also enjoy video games, especially those that create their own special ambiance through a mix of graphics, music and storyline context (Killer 7). Finally, I'm inspired by poetry, especially by Jim Morrison (The American Night).
For this course, I'd like to get out of my comfort zone and try styles I never tried before. I want to attempt to get my inspiration from unusual sources that I'm not used to, and not be afraid to make a ugly drawing.
It would perhaps be helpful to not even think about style or beauty for this course but to focus on exploration of the concepts of the class instead. It is my experience that when you work through ideas, the style and the aesthetics take care of themselves.
