He showed us plenty of stunning art pieces by master artists and talked about the importance of traditional drawing. The following lecturer was <strong>Darek Zabrocki<\/strong> who covered all the basic techniques of building compositions: structures,\u00a0lights, shadows and more.\u00a0Check out photos of both these artists&#8217; participation in the digital arts festival:<\/p>\n\t\t<div class=\"cols\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"col col-1of2\">\n\t\t\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085856\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11419\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090658\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-31.jpg\" alt=\"Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090658\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-31.jpg 1877w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090658\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-31-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090658\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-31-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090658\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-31-1024x682.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"col col-1of2\">\n\t\t\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11415\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"Sabin Boykinov Futuro 3 -2\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31085928\/Sabin-Boykinov-Futuro-3-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<div class=\"cols\">\n\t\n\t<div class=\"col col-1of2\">\n\t\t\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11416\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3.jpg\" alt=\"Darek Zabrocki Futuro 3\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090001\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"col col-1of2\">\n\t\t\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11417\" src=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2.jpg\" alt=\"Darek Zabrocki Futuro 3 -2\" width=\"500\" height=\"333\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/i.graphicmama.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/08\/31090027\/Darek-Zabrocki-Futuro-3-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Photos by Ivailo Kostadinov\t<\/div>\n\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\n<p>In the afternoon, we\u00a0soaked up wisdom by <strong>Stefan Atanasov<\/strong>, <strong>Todor Hristov<\/strong> and <strong>Michal Kus<\/strong>, who talked about 2D modeling, how to become\u00a0artists in the entertainment industry, and drawing and render techniques, respectively.

Both artists had actually started collaborating on a design specially for the digital arts festival\u00a0Futuro 3, and shared with us all the challenges\u00a0they had to face,\u00a0as well as the benefits they enjoyed during the collaboration.<\/p>\n<p>The last but not least lecturer was\u00a0<strong>Jean-Baptiste Monge<\/strong> with his absolutely fascinating presentation &#8220;The world of Jean-Baptiste Monge&#8221;. We were certainly captivated by the creations the French artist showed us. As he was revealing his working process, we caught ourselves gazing with awe at his breath-taking illustrations.

I, personally, am happy I had the chance to get all the insights of the creative processes of the bigger names in the industry. Whether it was peeking at Aris Kolokontes&#8217; personal collection of creature sculptures, or the progress of Jean-Baptiste Monge creating an amazing artwork of Tyrion Lannyster from scratch, it was unforgettable and highly educational.&#8221;,\u00a0Al<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;I&#8217;m so glad that I had the opportunity to be there!

Seeing how much the biggest names in the industry are just like us, making mistakes and learning from them to become better in their field, is priceless, along with getting a close and personal look at their techniques and experience.&#8221;,\u00a0Didi<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>&#8220;This year I was able to participate most of the lectures, and I am mostly impressed by the diversity of the topics we were presented with. The lecturers were approachable, easy-going and provided a lot of insights for the industry. I think the organization of the festival and the after-parties\/networking were awesome.
