Last weekend I attended a wonderful illustration workshop with Zelda Devon, one half of the art duo, Teetering Bulb. This intimate peek behind the curtain of the working processes these two artists employ was a fantastic and helpful eye-opener for the small group of students who attended.
Teetering Bulb is very prolific with brains packed full of mysterious stories that they like to share. Besides that and the slew of commissions they are hired to do on a regular basis, they are also in the midst of working on a project for DC Comics. Teetering Bulb‘s visual style is very unique; many people have asked them how they create their magical works. With this workshop, Zelda explained their working process from pencil drawing to digital coloring. She also did a small critique of each attendee’s work and talked about the art business, all in a three hour session that cost only about $75. Kurt Huggins, Teetering Bulb‘s other half, joined in towards the end of the session.
If you’re interested in taking part in Zelda’s next workshop, please drop her a line.
