The Sketchbook Series - Crash McCreery

He shows a mess of thoughts and notes for work and how he newly fell in love with using sketchbooks later in his career after eschewing drawing outside of work in his early career.



-One of his drawings is a Minotaur and he shows the stages of how he went through a process of refining the story of the drawing into an illustration with emotion



- shows how he appreciates form and the technicality of light



- being a production designer, building an environment from the ground up and learning crazy detail, inventing a world.



-emotional release, organizing thoughts, capturing the visuals to review them



-some sketches are fine the way they are, but others demand being developed further.



-"Even in chaos there's order to it, and you can draw a cloud wrong. Even though it's kind of spontaneous... there's an order to it. ... That's what I love about nature. In its simplicity and complexity it works every time."



-We need to see the horizon or we'll go crazy.



- artists share insecurity about wanting to do things right and accurate and sometimes you have to take that edge off.
