Description
The highly anticipated follow-up to Framed Ink from DreamWorks and Netflix animator and illustrator, Marcos Mateu-Mestre.
Framed Ink 2 provides insight into another compositional tool that Mateu-Mestre uses every day to create his amazing artwork–the energy within the working frame. In each piece of art, regardless of its format, one must consider essential factors such as the push-pull, tension-relaxation, pressure-release, balance and imbalance that happen inside the working area to support our storytelling. All of these factors apply in any aspect ratio, whether it be horizontal, vertical or square, each a format to consider when working in the movie, gaming, animation and graphic novel industries, which in our day and age can be presented through a variety of outlets such as a movie theater, home theater, social media and a number of personal devices.
Mateu-Mestre encourages and educates us on how not to be limited by the format but to embrace and rise to the challenge of designing for each format. A perfect accompaniment to his prior releases Framed Ink, Framed Perspective Vol. 1 and Vol. 2 and Framed Drawing Techniques, this book will take a reader’s knowledge base to the next level and allow them to build on their expertise as an effective visual storyteller.
