Hello and Welcome.
I go by the name Rae. My artwork gallery and "business" is called Raen Check; it's a little crappy "business," but with my interest in marketing and business, I can't help but to try to gain a little extra money through it.
I am a student at Ringling College of Art and Design, recently voted the best school in the world for digital art (not to brag or anything...ok maybe I bragged...). Through my entire high school career, I was in a very good art program designed to help prepare students for art school, so it's safe to say that I know what I'm doing. As a very knowledgeable person, I try to learn everything I can about everything, not just art. I'd love to share what I've learned and to be the mentor for young artists hungry to learn.
I'm majoring in Advertising Design, minoring in Business of Art and Design, and concentrating in Illustration. I have talent, but my knowledge outweighs my talent; I'm more of a thinker and an idea-generator.
I actually have experience teaching and tutoring. I'm constantly helping my peers improve their skills, and I love doing so. [NOTE: I will accept people who do anime/manga, but you must be open to doing more than just cartoons.]
Please visit http://www.raencheck.com or my Gaia art shop (in my signature) to view samples of my work. [My Deviant Art]
I live in Florida (Eastern Time) and I'm online pretty much everyday, with the occasional exception.
What I do best: -Knowing what makes a piece look good, through composition, the elements of art, and the principals of design. More of the "subconscious" impact behind artwork and the thinking behind it that makes it successful. -Figure Drawing/ People. -Watercolors and charcoal -Making things look creepy. (Seriously, I have an addiction for creepy artwork. People who don't know me think I have my nails painted black and hot pink hair or something.)
What I don't do so well: -Graphic Design. I can critique it, but I still have a lot to learn, hence why I'm taking a graphic design summer class, so this might change. -Typography. Gotta learn this next year, too. -Animation. I know nothing.
Level of mentee I will accept: I do not want to teach someone from square one. You need to have some basic understanding of human anatomy, though you don't have to always do it well. You need to have some understanding of good composition. You need to be interested in attending art school, or some kind of art degree or program. I'm not completely opposed to taking beginners. I'd prefer mentees who were at least 15 years old, or in high school. Don't expect me to appeal to your confidence in your art; I'm not overly harsh and negative, but I will be honest. My goal is to teach, not give out cookies.
Right now, I will accept two mentees, both of which slots are currently open. I plan to come up with some sort of curriculum with my mentorship to help my mentees learn more efficiently. I will be giving assignments similar to those I received in my years leading up to now.
A private forum/message board will be used to organize lessons, critiques, and information.
