It's filled with sketches and concept art -
Mmmmmm......
As well as instructional booklets! (how cool is that?), pen and ink, watercolor sketches and finished work.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother....?

Today's post is dedicated to the incomparable guest of honor,
Iain McCaig.
Iain McCaig.
Probably best known as the concept designer for the most memorable characters in the last three Star Wars movies, and the author of the most creatively imaginative art-retrospective book I've ever read (which I did. The minute I got it in the mail. Cover to cover).
He gave two outstanding lectures, showed lots of awesome work, gave many a critique (complete with role-playing and sound effects), and did several demos. He is possibly the most frenetically energetic human being I've ever seen! And boundlessly generous with his expertise.
He did one Creature Design demo that I did not photograph, but Chris Burdett did, and you should read his report on it here. (In fact, he's posted a really great day-by-day IMC description. Do check it out!)
The midnight demo I did photograph was a watercolor portrait. He started out painting Jonny Duddle in a nice earthy pigment -
...adding some tonality...
...strengthening the contours....
