One of the best ways to learn, improve, and challenge ourselves creatively is to study great artists. Remember Picasso famously said, "Good artists copy. Great artists steal."
Ok, obviously literal stealing is not Picasso's point. Instead the insight of his quote is to get in the habit of admiring and analyzing esteemed artists. In this stream we're doing exactly that; focusing on one of my favorite 3D artists: beeple. We'll look at his background, sift through his body of work, and discuss his artistry/technique.
Beeple is famous for creating an image (usually 3D and always incredible) from start to finish every day for 10 years - and he's still going by the way. Read that sentence again. Besides his absurd ability to create quickly, he's above all a gifted artist. His #everydays work is a deep well of abstract visuals, realism, voice, composition, emotion, etc. Trust me: There is much to learn from studying beeple.
I think he will be watching, I bet he is here right now.
Me too Omar (minus the freelance part). I've always just kind of messed around with blender every know and then. But this past month I've gotten pretty serious about it!
Lately I've been going full dive into the CGI world, I've always been on the side lines since CGI has been a freelance job thing I do
I wish I didn't see that Omar. I consider the guy a legend. Now I'm more nervous than ever that he might..like..watch
Just heard about him through CG Cookie Kent
@theluthier I just watched it. I always watch the course first before I follow along, that way I can soak up all the info. I've been searching the internet for a character that I can use to follow along with!
Nop, first time I heard of him was when you scheduled the stream
On Tweeter he says "sounds dopey" to the stream today
Has anyone here heard of Beeple before today?
