A scene from an upcoming book series
RM Florendo, Filipino Artist
My style is influenced by Traditional Animation and modern Old Manga art. I am also a fan of Jim Lee, Alex Ross and Norman Rockwell...
I try as much as possible not to copy them but to emulate what their attack on certain areas of a panel drawing or in situational scenes.
I use Adobe Photoshop for my color rendering to achieve that modern feel Children nowadays are inclined of viewing, from the television and movies... which is more colorful and more and more influenced by Japanese art. I also use Adobe Illustrator for some vector outputs in some cases but most of the time Photoshop can do the trick. Water Colored pencils are a necessity when drawing by hand.
I am a caricature artist, flash animator and a product designer by heart. Book Illustrations are a joy to work with and much of my knowledge in art I can express thru its pages. : )
