SB1: scott watanabe

 

I recently discovered Scott Watanabe's work. Scott Watanabe works as a visual development artist at Disney. He received his first screen credit for Disney’s Tangled, on which he started as a trainee.

I really love his work. He does things from environment design to character design. He is someone that I really inspire to be like. As someone who has not that long ago broken into working for Disney I think he has made a real name for himself and his work is astounding. There is such depth and immaculate design. His work really seems to come to life.

I am really interested in his line of work because it is something that I would love to do in the future if I became good enough. Seeing his work makes me want to practice hard so that I can become like this!

SB1: jennifer chang

Jennifer Chang's work caught my eye for it's whimsical and dreamy feeling. Her watercolour work is something that I really enjoy looking at and although it's only watercolour she uses the colours to make the scenes feel very real.

There is something very calming about these works, this is a feeling that I would like to achieve in my own work. Jennifer uses real life references in her work which I think really helps because she can take elements she thinks are important and eliminate the ones she doesn't so that the pieces come out realistic but simple. I think this is important when doing environmental work, which is why you will see a lot of Vis Dev workers go on to location to get a feel for what they are doing.
