分享一下Yuko Shimizu 3/1 時的分享(有點繞口)
原文大家可以自己看，看不懂可以翻譯一下，大概就是說剛開始使用數位繪圖創作的插畫師們，往往會遇到很多困難，會有挫折感，但其實這也發生在許多成功將自己的繪畫形式轉變成數位化的插畫師們的初期，唯一能解決的方式就是不斷實驗。數位繪畫不是讓你能夠快速繪製完一個作品的捷徑，並無法像魔術一樣變出你想要的成品！頂多是節省等顏料乾的時間和重新繪製時可以少去重新買材料的費用。
在其他方面，一樣也是需要去購買數位筆刷、繪圖板、螢幕等不便宜的數位藝術硬體軟體。
許多使用線條做創作的插畫師們，往往都會被人問到是如何讓線條變色的，我的回答跟Yuko的是一致的！那就是每個人的方式不一樣，只能自己去用腦思考實驗出自己擅用的方式！只有自己實驗出來的東西，你才能繼續延伸它的用法，做出更多不同的效果。
2014年時，我曾經在韓國插畫師Dongyun Lee 的工作室當助手，當時確實很想問他是怎麼讓線條變色的，但是我心裡卻有個心態是...如果不是我自己想出來的，那我就是比他弱一節，而我不想是這樣子！所以我花了兩三個星期實驗出我自己的方法，而這兩個星期我其實遇到很多挫折，但就是不斷的在網路上看photoshop的軟體使用，熟悉功能後，再嘗試著把線做到我想要的樣子。
其實我在創作私庫教的「Photoshop插畫創作」的時候,也會遇到上課的學生問我這些問題，但是我只會教他們如何線稿製作，而線的變色還是需要靠學生自己在日後的練習中以自己的方式做出來。
最後想說，藝術創作數位化，其實不是很多人想像的簡單，跟任何專業一樣，必須不斷地自己做嘗試與實驗！
也希望給對數位創作或是設計不是很了解的朋友們，不要以為我們藝術設計者都有魔法棒能夠隨便變出漂亮精美的圖...我們經歷了好幾個晚上不睡覺、熬過對於自身作品上美感的病態要求與精神折磨，才能將這樣的結晶呈現出來，基本上是用身體和心靈上的健康換來的。

This week in my class I teach with @marcoschinart at @svanyc @svailluscart (4th year portfolio class), we had a midterm individual review. One of the students just started coloring digitally, and was having a lot of difficulties. The best advice we could give her was that coloring digitally won't make it faster. It's just less messy (no water, no physical coloring supplies, etc). Which is true. When we, professionals, use digital medium for coloring, people assume we have these magic tricks and buttons to press. We often get questions like 'how do you change the color of the lines?' Like it's something we can answer in one short sentence. But it's not that simple.,Even just to change line color, there are many ways I do, and I pick which and how according to that specific part of the picture. And it often takes multiple trial and errors to do it right. No formula, no simple tricks. The beauty of creating artwork is that there is no one answer to a question, there are just multiple possibilities. And lots and lots of hours and patience. Every time I stumble onto a problem I can't solve with my Photoshop skill, I either ask peers, or just ask the Internet. Every time I learn something new, I get better just a bit. PS: big thank you to my coloring assistant @tatianacordobaart for working overtime last few weeks so much of the base coloring prep is done. Without you, there is no meeting of deadlines. And happy big birthday to you!) PSS: the file size is enormous during coloring process, because of the way I color. But once flattened to ship out to the client, the file size is usually ok-ish.
