The artwork of Vera Rehaag

October 4, 2021

We met Vera at “Trojan Horse was a Unicorn 2021” in Tróia, Portugal.
It was a great event full of incredible artists and Vera definitely stole some of our looks. Take a look at her work and read a little bit about her career and her work with Wacom tablets:

Since 2019 I am the proud owner of a Cintiq Pro 24. In my life as an artist I have worked on a Bamboo, an Intous 3 and 5, and a Cintiq 22HD before.

The first Cintiq experience was wonderful.

After studying communications design I spent one of the best Years of my life at the animation school Hamburg. With a small group of super-skilled artists, I learned a whole lot about 2D animation, storytelling, layout design, background painting and much more. A whole new world!
I proceeded to earn my first industry experience in a big games studio in Hamburg, where I eventually left in 2019 to become a full-time freelance artist.
My first job as an independent collaborator was for a german pirate band I was a fan of. They had asked me to make an animated music video, and so I took up the role of art director and illustrator, a friend by my side with whom I split the animation and composition work.
It was a lot of fun and to this day I haven’t had another gig that gave me this amount of creative freedom.
Except maybe for the classes on animation I have written, executed and produced as a one-woman show on Skillshare.

Even though I already loved the transitioning from purely traditional to digital with the Bamboo and Intous tablets, it was great to remove the disconnect from looking at a screen while drawing on the table again

The speed at which I could work on my art increased immensely with the Cintiq. I also love the size of the Pro 24, because I feel like I can really dive into my artwork. It makes focusing on the work at hand easier, and there is enough space to have references up on the same screen. 

 

 

 

I wouldn’t ever want to change back, and to date, this is my favourite way to paint digitally.

The importance of taking breaks ❤️

We’ve seen absolutely identified with the words of @ms.shortyj 💫 Taking care of yourself will help you grow as an artist.

Stopping is not quitting, is just taking a pause of the path to get another perspective 😉
