Whilce Portacio: A glimpse into the Artist mind...
Not only will you watch a professional comic artist with 20 years of experience showing you his drawing technique live, but for the first time you will hear in his own words what his mind is thinking as he draws. It is valuable as an aspiring artist to watch how pro's draw and try to glean experience from watching his technique. What you don't get watching a pro draw live in front of you is why he did what he did, and why he didn't do other things. Drawing is all about choices...what pose to choose, what lighting to choose, where to shade and where not to shade, where to add texture where not to hatch, etc. Every moment a professional artist works he is making choices.
Here you will not only see an artist draw, but you will hear what he thinks and how he makes decisions. Thereby learning more about the mind's process of drawing while watching the technique of drawing.
The first day: Whilce will properly begin a drawing and anatomically build it to layout finish...
- The importance of Proportions
- The direct goal of layouts
- Anatomy essentials
The Second day: Whilce will properly finish that drawing...
- The Lighting Process
- The Process of Hatching and shading
- Textures, details, filling in background...how to do them and why and when...
Two days of live demonstrations of the essentials of Comicbook Illustration and numerous tips and tricks of the trade learned thru hard years of drawing comics for more than 20 years which will give you insight as to how you will have to make the artistic choices you will have to make when you too become a professional artist...

FEAR ITSELF TIE-IN
There's a story bartenders tell about the devil. That at closing time, he chooses a bar and walks in the door. He'll want to talk about his day. If you listen and survive, he'll give you a tip. The story isn't true, but occasionally it amuses Mephisto to play along. And when he's spent the day spying on all the earthly gods and what exactly they're going to do about FEAR ITSELF, you'll want to hear what he has to say.
