Curation Post: The Art of Adelair

Digital Art is an area only a few can really make a practical living in my country, the Philippines. Most of the artists we have are still invested with traditional art. We are in a phase of transition as new opportunities for training digital artists have opened in some universities. There are a few names that have made themselves stand out in their chosen niche which I’m happy to get to know.

Annadel Cinco is a freelance digital illustrator that has sealed her place in the local scene when it comes to digital art. It’s no small feat to be on the map when it comes to a competitive market but she has earned fame through local following. The link to her social media accounts can be found below the post.

Adelair’s skills are focused on catering to gaming creation and promotion industry. The above art is just one of the many examples on how she goes about creating character concepts depending on the project at hand. You can really tell that her craft is really heavily invested on concept art and landscape designs. These are things that are a prerequisite when entering the gaming industry.

When I first found out about @adelair’s art on the blockchain, I saw an artist that has kept consistently improving with each work as shown from her Artstation gallery. You can see how transparent she is when it comes creating concept sketches and practice pieces. Knowing her, I know this is only a fraction of her total gallery.

I got the opportunity to have her share something about her line of work in the industry. A lot of the things she draws require some intense research to get the images out right. When it came to rendering artifacts or costumes in a specific era being depicted, she needs to search some images consistent with the style to have some solid foundation of reality built on the images she made.

This speaks a lot about how the industry isn’t to be taken likely for any aspiring artists. There are other skills needed to be learned beyond creating illustrations and fast.

I have a solid ambition na makipagsabayan with the legendary artists like Eytan Zana, Bryan Sola, Martin Deschambault, Raphael Lacoste, Feng Zhou, Artur Sadlos, Michael Komarck, and others

Translation of “Makipagsabayan”: To go with

I often get to have fun chats with this down to earth artist.

Her two most important lessons shared with fellow artists are:

1.Practice
2.Learn the basics of values and form.

And this preaching is taken into practice based from what we can see in her gallery and speedpaint videos. You can see the progression from her previous works over the course of months. The amount of details kept being added by technique and its reasonable to believe she’s going to go far in her chosen field.
