Sketching in Public - Tips from a Riot Artist

I’m releasing a book full of my sketches. I’ll share with you a sneak peek of the art inside, talk about the personal stories behind some sketches, and offer you tips on how I capture these life moments.

Hi is there any way you could elaborate on the whole Croatia thing? How did you even get your teacher and accommodation there? It's quite the jump from Belgium to Croatia and you mentioned your teacher is nowhere to be found online. How do you feel about your experience ? What did you get out of it if we ignore the drawing part? I'd be curious to hear everything you could possibly say about it.

Hey @wowsers sorry for the late reply! I graduated from art school and went straight into freelancing, theme parks commercials etc. movies etc... But I didn't think my level was up to parse. So I decided to move to a cheaper country where I could take the money I earned from my freelancing and calculate I have 2 years to just practice by myself to get somewhere that I thought sucked less. And 6 months in I started working contract based for Riot games after I met up with Ryan woodward at an event and showed him my work including these sketchbooks. It was not just to improve in art, I felt in Belgium that I created a character that is not me. I was constantly practicing and drawing and I was not really being my authentic self. So I also took it as an opportunity to reinvent myself as how I want to be with new friends and a completely different environment. That was the soul searching part of it as well. There is no short answer to this and I could go on/ But I hope this gives you an idea/ Thank you for the question!
