This is where the message goes!

Having trouble coming up with something to draw? No worries - while you'll eventually learn how to start from a tiny seed of a thought and gradually nurture it into a complex concept to explore through design and illustration, it's perfectly fine not to be there just yet.

For now though, here's an idea that might interest you.

The Future of Shopping

Say it with me. Vending machines are the future. With more and more stores treating us like criminals, it's inevitable that they're going to require us to pay before we even get to sniff the goods.

Of course, some things will transition to this new sales format better than others, and with everything being locked behind a required payment, aggressive marketing to try and get customers to your machine is going to be key.

Pick a type of product or service, and design a vending machine to deliver it to your valuable customer. You can explore the tactics used to attract customers, the mechanics of how those goods or services are delivered. Or alternatively, illustrate a customer interacting with your marvel of engineering!

Color and Light by James Gurney

Color and Light by James Gurney

Some of you may remember James Gurney's breathtaking work in the Dinotopia series. This is easily my favourite book on the topic of colour and light, and comes highly recommended by any artist worth their salt. While it speaks from the perspective of a traditional painter, the information in this book is invaluable for work in any medium.
