Introduction
My name is Pedro Jimenez, I am a Junior at NJCU currently working on my BFA in Illustration. I’ve always loved to draw and being very passionate about background design and Concept art for games. growing up watching a lot of animated tv shows I fell in love with the different worlds and art styles each show had. There are also some of my favorite games like the Life is strange series, and Detroit Becomes Human were very inspirational and made me want to push myself to create more art and express my own emotions through my own work.
Forest Soul – Procreate/Photoshop (lighting)
I usually work on digital mediums, like Procreate, Photoshop, and Paint Tool SAI and have used 3D softwares like Blender, Rhino, Adobe Dimensions. I appeal to doing more background work and object design, I love putting in detail to geometrical shapes and working with different perspectives and with odd things or creatures it depends. Five things that describe practical artwork: Digital artist, Gaming design, Perspective drawing, Object design, Background/enviromental work.
Frog and Bunny – Photoshop
Tree at Night – Photoshop
White noise – Procreate
Just a Kitchen - Procreate
Ghost Shopping – Procreate
Inspiration:
Tamaytka, she is a digital artist. Her character design and background work are beautiful and have been a long-time inspiration source. I always pay attention to the details of her objects work, and how she places stuff and how everything interacts within the scene.
Deiv Calviz, He is a freelance art director, illustrator, and Concept artist for League of Legends. He posts his speed paints from professional work that he does, great for practice and lighting understanding.
Susan Sontag Article:
“Although there is a sense in which the camera does indeed capture reality, not just interpret it, photographs are as much an interpretation of the world as paintings and drawings are”
I love the way this quote refers to how any artist can capture the world in different ways and mediums, mostly depending on how they see and experience the world and their own surroundings to make art.
“Photographs, which fiddle with the scale of the world, themselves get reduced, blown up, cropped, retouched, doctored, tricked out. They age, plagued by the usual ills of paper objects; they disappear; they become valuable, and get bought and sold; they are reproduced.”
The wording of this quote really caught my attention, and made me think about how something that can fiddle with the scale of the world, be so fragile, it feels like a circle of life, or a repeat button and how any artist can
