Thought bubble

The first day of thought bubble was great because i got to meet many people who are into making comics and manga's. The whole point of thoughtbubble is to showcase people who are in the business of making art or visual books.

So many people were at this convention which was why it was so busy, I manged to get to the artists I wanted to check out, Some of them appeared last year and the year before which I’ve met before, it’s nice catching up on projects they've been doing throughout the year and hopefully getting their name out as well as improving their art skills. Some of the artists also do animations as a side thing rather than wanting to do it as a main job which inspired me to keep trying my best to make it my main job.

What there was at the convention?

The theatre

At the theatre artists would go up on stage and showcase whilst talking about their art work and process that they take in order to achieve what they want on that piece of paper or whatever medium they use. Throughout the years I've gone to this convention I’ve learned many techniques and I’m sure to keep learning ways to improve my artwork.

The Halls

This year they used 3 halls and had to use a big tent because of the amount of artists who applied this year, each hall had artist selling work and merchandise. Every artist I met I'd ask for tips or advice on what to do in order to improve my work, with that said There are techniques which I never thought about such as doing shadow drawings which make a sort of thumbnail drawing which helps with proportions, this was really helpful advice and I’m hoping to explore this area and make some interesting concepts using these new techniques.
