EVTEK entrance exercises

Found these from an old photo archive of mine: the exercises I had to do in order to even get to the entrance examns. The first one was illustrating a novel piece with ~6 images and the second was doing a traveling poster of "Snowless Lappland"... Did both of this in a great hurry, but never mind now since I got in anyways..

Hanzel & Gretel

Detail shot of my latest artwork.

I find certain children's stories very inspirational. I'm not too much into fantasy fairy tales, but I love Hanzel&Gretel, Alice in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Hood.

Manga drawing lecture for Sangatsumanga

Yesterday I threw a quick manga related drawing class for Sangatsumanga's event. It was rather fun to speak about character design and show some of my works.

The audience was a tad quiet, but the kind fellow who hired me gave me the best feedback of my life: "I could only hear the moment when you told the kids to draw different kinds of faces and body types and *not* huge swords, spiky hairs and stuffed side-kick animals... that's why I asked you to come."
