Charles Glaubitz Digital/Traditional illustration workshop

Below, Charles Glaubitz describes a technique for combining digital and traditional illustration, as he teaches it in his Digital/Traditional Illustration workshop...read more about how he created this illustration of a stomach ache:

Final Art Digital mixed media

The illustration was created for my digital/traditional illustration workshop in my studio in Playas De Tijuana, Mexico.  Students learned how to digitally ink an image in Manga Studio, make hand made textures and traditionally inked shadow and light. Then it is all merged into a single image.

Sketch, light and shadows pencil on bond paper with scotch tape

Black and white drawing

The above image is the inked image in Manga Studio. In Black and white at 600 dpi then exported into photoshop.

 

Shadow drawing in sumi ink on paper

The above image is sumi ink on bristol, later scanned and combined with the black and white image in Photoshop, where other paper and hand made textures are scanned in and incorporated into the image.

Charles Glaubitz illustrates for Sony PlayStation

Charles Glaubitz illustrates sleep disorders

Charles Glaubitz created this illustration for a recent issue of the University of Chicago magazine.  The article was on sleep disorders, and below is what Charles came up with.  Charles submitted another sketch on a slightly different concept, which wasn't chosen for publication.  However, he liked the idea so much that he decided to complete the final art for himself anyway - see the Sleep Owl Machine illo at the bottom of post.  We think they're both super cool!

Charles Glaubitz - Samurai Girl

Check out this amazing new image by Charles Glaubitz titled, "Samurai Girl"!  This is a personal piece that he created during a workshop that he gave in his studio, and he used his technique of ink and wash illustration with digital color added.  The concept of the project was about conveying a memory to communicate time and space.  This image was inspired by his oldest daughter, Luna, and also in part by his father who was a karate champion and instructor in Mexico - hence the samurai element.  Charles based the color palette on the passing of time chose seasonal Autumn colors.
We love it!

Charles Glaubitz freak art.

 

 

A couple of weeks ago, Charles found this unused black and white ink on watercolor paper in his flat file as he was doing his studio cleaning. A illustration for a proposed Freak film festival poster from 2010.  The project was killed before this illustration even got to the computer to be colored, Charles recently colored it. We think it rocks and look very cool next to the other two freak illustrations.

Charles Glaubitz - Hot Off the Presses

A recent piece by Charles Glaubitz is featured in the current issue of PlanAdviser magazine.  Charles has been commissioned by Asset International to create many illustrations for this and other publications over the years, but this is the first time that they have picked up an existing piece by Charles.  SooJin Buzelli, the creative director of Asset International, noticed the illustration in a recent Facebook posting we did, and she thought it would be perfect for the "Hot Off the Presses" feature in the 5th Anniversary Issue of the magazine.  What we found especially interesting was that she chose to use the illo in a horizontal format rather than vertically, as it was originally created.  We think it works super well!
