At Donato's Studio

I recently took a trip to NYC with some friends to visit the sci-fi/fantasy illustrator Donato at his studio in Brooklyn. He shared some of his knowledge, we got to watch him work, and even got some great posters to take with us. Some of the pics I uploaded were; a group shot of us (top), Donato working on his latest illustration commission (middle), and Donato when he was lecturing about color, composition, and how he first got into the business (bottom).

Donato is a great artist and a very welcoming guy. If you ever get the chance to meet him I highly recommend it.

Until next time.

What a great teacher you are to be able to give your students access to artists like mr. donato! I would do just about anything to be able to peek in his studio and watch him work.

Your paintings are also amazing and I love the way you show progress and process on your blog - even the way you illustrate the use of reference is so great.

Thanks
