Hi everyone! My name is Ramón Nuñez, but you might know me better as RamonN90. I’m an illustrator and concept artist who loves bringing original characters to life in casual, everyday moments.
Ah, the suffering of being an artist! So many questions: how do I make my hand do what my brain thinks? How do I fix my characters’ anatomy? Where’s my style? I wish I had all the answers, but I don’t. However, what I can offer is my deepest, most honest experience in solving these struggles, one sketch at a time.
Though I never went to art school, I did study graphic design. I taught myself everything I know, and I believe you can do the same. All you need are these three things:
- The ability to read
- To be a little obsessive like me
- To have this book, brought to you with the help of the incredible team at 3dtotal Publishing.
The Art of RamonN90: Life in Every Sketch showcases all the details about my creative journey, from childhood comics to working as a concept artist with big-name companies. You will also discover everything about my creative process, including how to structure concepts, shapes, colour, and values, all to help bring some life to your art.
Besides the technical tips, I also cover the deeper issues that art skills can’t fix, such as creative block, burn out, self-validation, and the pursuit of an artistic voice. I’m not a psychologist, but by sharing how I deal with these challenges, I hope to help you find your own way through them.
As of April 25th, this project has raised $65,000 of their $26,540 goal. This project has 13 days left to raise as much as it can. For a pledge of $40, you will get one unsigned book. To learn more and to pledge money, go to: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1906838062/the-art-of-ramonn90?
