Patrick LaMontagne sobre as vozes que nos impedem

28 de fevereiro de 2020

Patrick LaMontagne é cartunista editorial e pintor digital canadense e, olhando exemplos de cada um, você nunca imaginaria que eles foram feitos pela mesma pessoa.

Como cartunista, ele zomba dos eventos atuais (suponho que as coisas aconteçam no Canadá) em um estilo brilhante e simplificado.

Em sua arte, ele pinta animais, quase ao ponto do fotorrealismo.

E ele também é Youtuber. Em seu vídeo mais recente, "Voices", ele aborda alguns dos exemplos mais comuns de conversa interna negativa e objeções internas com as quais os artistas lidam enquanto pinta rapidamente um lêmure na Wacom One.

No entanto, você terá que ficar com ele durante um começo difícil: os dois primeiros minutos são dedicados a listar algumas coisas que podem estar muito perto de casa para muitos de nós ouvirem, mas, como você adivinhou, ele as desmascara no final, levando ao ponto de que, não importa em que estágio de sua carreira você esteja, elas nunca desaparecem.

Isso pode fazer você temer pelo futuro, mas também pode ser reconfortante, especialmente para aqueles de nós que veem artistas ultra-talentosos como sobre-humanos. É fácil se enganar pensando que artistas mais consagrados percorrem suas carreiras com confiança e certeza, sabendo que tudo o que estão fazendo é brilhante e que nunca farão mal ter oportunidades de emprego.

Ah... não. Existem certas inseguranças que nunca desaparecem. Mas quando você pensa sobre isso, percebe que é porque não há um ponto definido em que, de repente, você mereça autoestima. Você já sabe.

Por fim, Patrick também é um blogueiro prolífico e, como complemento, ele teve a gentileza de escrever uma história de seu relacionamento com a mesa digitalizadora da Wacom, culminando com suas impressões sobre a Wacom One.

A versão TL; DR:

Patrick foi um dos primeiros a adotar a arte digital. Ele adquiriu sua primeira mesa digitalizadora - uma Wacom Intuos 1 - em 1998, quando conseguiu seu primeiro emprego como desenhista. “Para alguns, parecia complicado, mas para mim parecia que faltava uma prótese de membro”, diz ele.

Ele não tem treinamento formal e nunca trabalhou em tela, mas experimentou cada geração e iteração de hardware e software de arte digital.

Para software, ele usa o Photoshop, embora diga que “experimentou todos eles”. E quanto ao hardware, "uma mesa digitalizadora Wacom não era uma opção. Era uma exigência.” E o Wacom One, segundo ele, é "melhor do que todas as mesas digitalizadoras e monitores que usei durante a maior parte de minha carreira profissional".

Essa é uma afirmação ousada, mas estamos felizes em ouvi-la.

Enjoy this stylized illustration created by @bonehaus inspired by his recent trip to Amsterdam. ⁣ ⁣ He goes full circle, collecting inspiration and reference, sketching in #AdobePhotoshop, illustrating in #AdobeIllustrator, and then right back to #photoshop for finalizing color and texture 🔄✌️⁣ ⁣ Once in Illustrator, Kirk outlines and traces the major shapes of his sketch, then removes the lines and focuses instead on shapes and shadows. ⁣ ⁣ "I start building in more shadows and more details to help separate any of the shapes that are struggling without that outline. I like my art without a ton of outline, so I prefer the challenge of using some shadows and highlights and stuff to separate them.”⁣ - @bonehaus⁣ Head to the #WacomBlog to read the full interview! ⁣ #MadeWithWacom #WacomCintiqPro #DigitalIllustration #adobeillustrator #Photoshop
