Drawpile with Castlevania Art Crew (Livestream)
comments 55
From the outside looking in, A lot of companies seem to be growing their animation departments and taking on more and more projects, is this true?
How hard is it for someone a little older (late 20s early 30s) to switch from a non creative career to something in the animation industry? What advice would you give for someone trying to that in terms of learning, networking, and where their focus should be?
The season ended with a lot of ways to continue the story with a new cast of characters. Is this something on the whiteboard at Netflix or is this the end of Castlevania?
Thank you for taking the time to be apart of this event and creating one of the shows that in my late 20s, has inspired my to walk on this path.
LESSON NOTES

COMMENTS
This Tuesday we're going to have artists from Powerhouse Studio (Castlevania and He-Man Masters of the Universe) join us for a special livestream! You'll get to see them draw and hear them answer questions from the community. If you have any questions for them, you can start leaving them now in the comments before the stream starts.
Do y’all have any opinions on display vs non display tablets? I use iPad but want something more sensitive like a drawing tablet, idk to save up for a yr for display, or use a non display and buy it now. Is non display easy to get used to? Do you prefer it, or display just the way to go?
Do you guys sometimes collaborate with people who live on the other side of the planet? :p
Thank you, I just joined PROKO minutes ago and based on the quality of this discussion, I'm in the right place. Great tips, and now I know the correct way to arrange TP!
Is there talk within the animation industry about making more narratively driven, high concept, action shows, for adults?
hello! i am a product designer working in tech (chose design over more illustration biased careers e.g., concept art, etc, as a career choice) and i often find myself "creatively drained" and not able to work on personal projects as my day job takes a lot of my creative energy.
my question is, do you feel that your career work affects your creative energy positively or negatively? and if affects you negatively, what do you do to counteract that and what would be the ideal balance for you to have a successful career and still feel creatively fulfilled?
Are there any great online community you would recommend to help learn art, asking question and get feedback etc (Reddit isn't particularly helpful for me.)
When working on a concept, do you work better with many layers or do you try to keep it limited to a set number?
Does not having experience in a specific program the job requires hinder your chances? Ex: Photoshop, toon boom
Hi, I'm not sure if this has been asked but what programmes or materials do you enjoy using or recommend for creating illustrations
Thanks for all the expert info!

Hello folks,
I was wondering concerning the design of Netflix's Castlevania, How the pipeline has been established so far in your production?
How many artists were involved into R&D + approved design of each character, creatures and locations & how many were involved into bringing them to life through animations and execution?
Do you feel that you had a great deal of creative freedom during the process (submiting ideas and concepts that were not necessarily part of the script for instance)?
Thank you for the interactive initiative by the way, great idea!
Hard to word is question but seeing people getting into the industry, would you say the age range is wide? Like....can someone older get into art/industry?
Is talent required to master drawing the human figure or is dedication and practice enough.
Hi there! Sorry if this was asked already - I joined the stream a little late. I am a junior character designer and Powerhouse is a big inspiration of mine. What are some red flags you tend to see in character portfolios?
how did you come up with the concept of each of the main characters i am still thinking about my future would you recommend
How do you deal with trying to draw consistently and keeping distractions in place, instead of them ruining your drawing time?
