FAU fanboy

Today's theme is: "an artist you like", so I'm going to talk about Frannerd. Frannerd is one of my favourite illustrators and is from Chile. I love her work, she has a simple kinda cartoony kind of style. She usually draws scenes and characters with a pretty established color palette with a lot of pink and pastel colors. I knew her about 2 years ago in youtube and suddenly I became a fan of her work and her as a person too. And even though her style is far away from the types of things that I like to draw, I feel heavely identified with her and I would like to achive the life style that she has in which she currently lives of her work as an illustrator. She is freelancer and usually makes comisions, though, her biggest income comes from her online shop, her planners and her books(one of which I've got by the way)). Frannerd is one of my biggest benchmarks showing me that even if you are from South America, specially Chile and you didn't study illustration, yo

Choosing a Chilean building is not that easy for me, because I don't know as many as I would like, so I guess I will talk about The Singular hotel. This hotel is located in Patagonia, about 5 minutes away from Puerto Natales by car. Apart from the beauty of the context in which this building is inserted, I like it because is a reference of  good  intervention on a patrimonial building, oriented to let the background of the building be in sight and, at the same time, giving it a proposed new use. I know this building because I had to analyze it for the workshop at the begining of the third semestre, and I love the idea of making of the agricultural culture of the place, a focus of contemplation, something super representative of the society at the time, that still affects some traditions of the society nowadays. And talking about the style, the original building was conceived as industrial architecture, so, it hasn't have a design per se more than just a meat processing plant w

I like to draw, I've always liked it but I started to have interest in it, like for real, about three years ago, a year before I finished highschool. I just took it as a hobby at that time, I didn't know anything about foundations of art, or mediums or whatever, and I just used  a graphite pencil and an ordinary bond paper that we all have in our houses(and with this I'm not trying to say that you need more than that to be really good at drawing, the artist is in the person, not the materials, I'm just trying to say that I wasn't an expert in this topic) I remember that I liked to copy some frames of the animes that I was watching at the moment, or maybe I liked the expression of some portrait and I redrew it, but I didn't do anything more than that. I took it in a pretty light way, it helped me a lot to understand the concept of light and shadow, how to make gradiants and create the sense of depth, understand the amount of light that each color had(since i just

I'm obessed with lalaland ost. I hadn't heard that music about a year ago, and the other day, some friends and I were working and one of them just put some random background music and there it was. Actually I like musicals, but there aren't so many modern musicals, so lalaland it's easier to remember. I love the colors, the cast, the photography, the choreography and of course the music. It's so catchy, and goes so well with the scenes, it really gives the vibe that the movie wants to comunicate. I like how the lyrics and the way that the characters tone and sing becomes a several narrative resource. For example, the opening scene helps a lot to tell the tone that the rest of the movie is going to have and sets the mood for the watcher to properly approach to the film. Or the scene when Mia goes to a Seb's concert and realizes that he doesn't like the music that he's actually playing, in this case, none of the characters say anything, but the way that t
