Mark Behm on digital painting
Mark will be talking about digital painting and development of the form of a character which up to this point has existed only in flat space outside of your imagination. Lighting, value & color, visualizing form and process will be discussed and demonstrated. The medium will be digital although the approach applies to traditional methods as well.
After a childhood of studying and playing around with stop motion, traditional art and special effects of all kinds he went off to become an illustrator as he thought it impossible to live his fantasy of animation/sfx. Just a couple years later, animation still tugging at his shirt drove him slowly into the world of 3d. He started out animating in commercials in NYC and then “321 Penguins” for Big Idea Productions.
After that he went to Blue Sky Studios to animate on “Robots” and is now at DNA Productions working on their current feature, “the Ant Bully”. He is also a mentor for Animation Mentor. All the while designing characters on a freelance basis for numerous clients.
