This makes my job as an artist easier, and also enables the viewer to quickly grasp the theme of my artwork. Therefore, I’ve chosen to illustrate universal symbols for what each god represents. In my effort to create a memorable piece of art that’s also recognisable to those familiar with the mythological figures, simplicity is the key to understanding what’s taking place in the piece. Since many of the symbols have already been established throughout history, as an artist I’m able to use my preferences and abilities to piece together a new story from these older structures. I’ll be explaining the processes I use to create an illustration, as well as giving tips and techniques that I find useful to my artistic practice. They’re specific enough to enable the viewer to identify them using a single icon. As with many of the gods from antiquity, certain symbols are associated with each one. I do have an issue with there not being an option to import/export brushes and have already emailed the. In this workshop I want to express the characteristics of the Greek gods Hypnos and Thanatos, using colour to set the tone, lighting to direct the focus of the story and more, all while retaining their personalities. Instead, you have to install the texture and/or brush pattern in the Sai folder itself (there are two folders there with the respective label) and set the settings in Sai to match whatever the authors intentions were, or whatever you want. Illustration is driven by storytelling, and stories are built up with certain artistic “building blocks” such as motifs, symbolism, gestures, poses and so on.
