How Are Characters Created? From Idea to Final Render. Masterclass by Marianna Ivanova.

The answer to this interesting and difficult question was given by our 2D artist of Seekers Notes, Marianna Ivanova, during her masterclass taken place on Jan 18 at the Apple Store on Singapore's main tourist street, Orchard Road, within Singapore Art Week 2018.

She visually showed the whole process — “from the ground up”, from the idea to the final and polished render, using iPad Pro, Apple Pencil, her talent and skills.

News about her masterclass has been published on the largest IT news portals in Singapore, including the website of Apple!

The room was full of guests and listeners — many were eagerly awaiting this event. Guests who came to the masterclass not only enthusiastically listened and absorbed such useful and interesting information, but also got the opportunity, together with Marianna, to draw their own sketch! Indeed, her masterclass came out very inspiring and helpful! Guest even took photos with Marianna!

Marianna is one of the main (key) artists of Seekers Notes, many avatars and characters has been drawn and created by her. Our players often note that the arts (locations, characters, creatures) in our game look astonishing. This is a result of the colossal work of our friendly team of artists.

We are very proud that such amazing and talented people are creating in MyTona!

Marianna Ivanova: “I’ve been really nervous before the workshop since I’ve never performed before a large audience.” Guys from Singapore have been really helpful. Diana who organized everything and everybody who came to support me. Our artists — Mejin Tan, Chewsian Pang helped me during the practical part.
Apple Store’s staff has been very friendly and hospitable, as well as the visitors of the workshop. I think this event proved that every person is talented, and that anyone can draw.
Thanks MyTona for this wonderful event!"
