LIA Cast 90 - How to Land Your Perfect Gig with Ryan Estrada (rebroadcast)

Freelancing, creative independence, Ryan Estrada, and more!

We've talked about sustaining our creativity on Lean Into Art Cast 89, but what about leveraging our creativity to sustain us? How do you avoid the creative work you don't want to do and find the jobs that bring you creative (and monetary) satisfaction?

We're joined once again by Ryan Estrada, author of the blog post How to Get Hired. Together we'll talk about how characterizing the work you want to do and presenting yourself well might bring you closer to landing the gigs you are excited about.

LIA Cast 104 - Drawing from Memory, with Brandon Dayton (Rebroadcast)

Talking about improving your visual memory on the LIA Cast with Brandon Dayton!

Have you ever noticed that sometimes the best drawings you make are the ones for which you have a very clear mental picture? Have you ever tried to draw something from reference materials and just can't accurately capture it? Is the first situation simply a moment of "inspiration," and the second situation "artistic funk"?

How might things change if we consider the difference between seeing and object and perceiving an object? By improving our visual memory skills, might we one day be able to draw entirely from memory like Kim Jun gi?

This time we have a discussion on the role of perception in illustration with guest Brandon Dayton, who shares some tips on how to improve your visual memory and draw with improved accuracy.
