Master/Design Study

Hey guys! I did this quick design study of this great artist in some free time I had in class, wondering what everyone thinks! ( Don't mind the background, I got lazy at the end) Also, if anyone knows of any artist/ category that utilizes patterns and gradients in this way, please let me know! (I've seen a lot of traditional Japanese like this, so things like that anyone has seen) This artist's name is what I believe to be Japanese Kanji (?) Here's what I got from Twitter: 秋屋蜻一 Thanks for helping me!

YES! Absolutely blown away when I first saw his work, and the way he uses patterns and hatching definitely fits the vibe of this artist

Love the study @Anfissa Pruitt. So you pointed out that you enjoy the way this artist uses patterns and gradients in his pieces. I think one thing that really stands out about their work is that the way they organize their detail is kind of opposite to the way most painters/illustrators would. I think the 'normal' way that artists organize detail in their pieces is that they keep the areas that are not supposed to be the focal point relatively simple, then they add a lot of detail in the areas that they want the viewer to look. This artist kind of does the opposite, there's A LOT of detail and noise going around the piece, with few areas of rest. It's a really interesting effect to look at. Looking at your study, it looks like you organized your detail in the 'traditional sense', you saved most of it for the focal area, and simplified the rest. If you wanted to take another go at the study, you could try adding noise/texture/detail/etc. to more areas of the drawing, and save areas of rest for only 15%-25% of the page. Would love to see how you would tackle this design challenge. Other artists that I think you would enjoy would be: Yoshitaka Amano (artist for Final Fantasy) Nicolas Nemiri (works under the same company as Kim Jung Gi) Boell Oyino (don't remember where I found him but his stuff is really cool) Hope this helps!

Thank you so much for this in-depth reply! I definitely notice that now that I look at it again, I'll keep it in mind next time I do a study of the artist.
