Things have been busy with many movie projects, some of which have designs to be discussed here in future episodes. This episode explores some of the costume and design elements that have gone into developing one of Isaac’s sci-fi/fantasy character concepts, while also exploring the style development of his female characters in general.

Isaac is back with three new drawings. This time he talks about design and workflow while dissecting a piece he drew twice over, so he could build on the notes he was given by others.

Following up on episode 9 this is a continuation of the same piece in the inking stages. I talk a little bit about what I was focusing on in this image, as well as what I learned and where I think I need to improve.

In this episode I am experimenting with a new format for the show that I might drop in from time to time while working on longer pieces like this. I follow up on my last episode where I started this latest “Pin-Up” piece and show the pencil process entirely in time-laps with commentary.

Apologies for the lower quality audio, there were some technical difficulties. In this episode I get started on an all new piece in what I would call the “pin-up” category, even though it’s not a “pin-up” in the traditional sense. I look at pieces like this that I have done in the past and talk about all of the notes and lessons I am trying to incorporate into this one new piece. The main focus being composition we also crack the secret behind the mysterious guide lines seen in some of Mark Schultz’s process art in his art books.

PART 2 Just days before we hit the road on our latest Definitive Film documentary project I cranked out a Masters of the Universe poster piece for the MOTU alumni to sign. In this second of two parts I finish the piece and talk about my inking process and the areas I am trying to work on and develop as I go.

PART ONE Just days before we hit the road on our latest Definitive Film documentary project I cranked out a Masters of the Universe poster piece for the MOTU alumni to sign. In this first of two parts I experiment with blue line penciling and talk about the tricks and techniques I’ve been developing lately.

In the last episode I was reviewing my development as an artist through the characters of Benson and Cactus. This episode continues that review and looks at the comparison between the first pass at the mini comic and the new attempt at the same material. All this while also talking about my further technique development as I ink the fight scene.

Benson & Cactus and a guy learning how to draw, we are back again. This time we are exploring the  development of Benson & Cactus, a story concept involving a federal agent and his chain smoking, foul mouthed potted cactus partner. It was with this concept that I started down this path of learning how to draw as a comic illustrator. In this first of two episodes on the subject I explore the many stages of development with this particular concept and discuss the lessons I learned along the way.

Inspired by shooting with so many of his comic creator heroes, late bloomer (and Definitive Film’s resident cinematographer) Isaac Elliott-Fisher begins his burgeoning career as a comic artist himself and invites the world to watch.
