Artist Interview: Stephanie Ayers – Painting Stories Into Art

“Painting is one of my ways of clearing my ever busy mind. My passion right now is sharing my God-given talent with others. When someone truly is happy with a finished piece it makes my heart smile.” Storyboard artist Sydney is the practice of producing sketches for a script/concept.

Texas Hill Country artist Stephanie Ayers is a wife, mother of two and a self-taught painter. Painting, cooking, fishing, and gardening come naturally to her and she enjoys sharing art, food and flowers with others. Stephanie laughs, “I’d share the fish too but typically I only catch one inch perch.”

The very small town where she was an elementary student was one building, Pre-K through 12th grade, “… being one of two semi-talented kids in the entire town I thought I was the ONLY girl my age IN THE WORLD that knew how to make art. My first memory of painting is when I first entered school. Then it seemed so complicated and difficult to control. I remember thinking crayons and chalk are so much easier.”

With that in mind, upon moving to Waco to finish college she found herself in, as she puts it “this HUGE new school… I was like, ‘Um no… Wait… there are other people my age that can color in the lines and make advanced stick figures? Hmm.’ it took me a while to grasp that one.”

How long have you considered yourself an artist?

Honestly I never thought of it until recently. It has taken me 33 years to realize its OK to say you’re an artist. I don’t know why but I always felt timid to talk about my art or even admit I drew or painted something… in the last three years I’ve come to terms with my talents and am totally embracing it and having such a fun time in the process. I used to always feel that the art I created was worthless and hated compliments. Wish I could have… stayed positive.

College was fun when I finished basics and got to really learn about things that interest me. My degree is still not completed; my majors have ranged from art education, elementary education, child development, animal behavior, to biology. I’ll figure out what I want to be when I grow up… someday. Maybe I’m supposed to be a famous local Texas artist… that sounds nice.

What things inspire you to create art?

Inspiration is everywhere for me, though, it comes and goes. When I was about six or seven someone special to me said my self-portrait was nothing but trash and to never do that again. That shattered my little mind. I recall thinking it looked great to me; I did everything that guy Bob said to do on my little black and white television. So, getting my mojo back took some time and lots of positive reinforcement. Now… a simple tweet from a bird inspires a whimsical doodle. Sometimes it’s a cooking magazine. Reading to my kids has had the most inspiration on my “home” art. The silliest things come across in my mind as paintings and drawings. For example the neighbor’s cat just after a nap stretching and yawning so big, my son teaching his little sister what a octagon and pentagon are with sidewalk chalk… these things get my artistic juices flowing. I love Day of the Dead art because I feel like it represents… lots of memories… a person, their family, it has love, loss, happiness. The art can be so simple and some so intricate, but either way it means something, to someone.

What are you trying to convey through your art?

What I mean or what I’m feeling really depends on the piece I’m working on. For example, one of my kids’ books we read almost every evening has multiple short stories in it with fun illustrations. Those illustrations inspired me to do similar things for my kids. When we read the stories we relate to my version of the painting. It’s educational for the kids and heartwarming for mommy.

When I’m in adult mode most of my paintings truly have a story. I see and feel something when I finish a painting; it’s telling a story without all the pages and typing. It means one thing to me but I love hearing what it means to others, what they feel when they see something I’ve done.

Tell me about artistic influences.

My Aunt Janice was my first influence. She was my dad’s sister and she amazed me at an early age. She could sing like Patsy Cline and she could draw the prettiest horses and roses I ever did see. Through the years and traveling I’ve come to love Frida Kahlo, Diego Rivera, Fernando Botero, and Chagall. Mexican and Latin artists have always drawn my eyes. I suppose it’s the brilliant colors, the way you can almost taste the passion, like in Diego’s frescoes… and the way Frida’s art was a direct reflection of her life. She inspires and influences me the most as far as famous artists go. I can relate to her life as if it was my own sometimes. I took an art bus tour of Mexico once. Seeing firsthand the environment that Frida must have lived in… smelling the air… tasting the foods… from coffee shops to cobblestone roads I wanted to be like Frida Kahlo. On the outside she seemed so talented, so sexy, so confident… but through her art you could feel her physical pain. Mangled body, inability to conceive, pain, suffering, her always cheating husband, lovers… take a look you’ll know what she felt by what she painted. Frida Kahlo not only is a huge influence in my art but a huge inspiration in my life.

How else has traveling itself influenced you?

Travel… lots. All over Texas, the U.S. Israel, Kuwait, Amsterdam. There was a time when my husband and I were really into cruises. In 2009 or 2010 while living in Kuwait I entered the Harper’s Bazaar Magazine for the Middle East female artist contest. I probably created 15 watercolors, framed and ready for sale in two weeks. Though they didn’t select me it was fun doing painting again and getting the hair/make-up professionally done for the photographer. This was actually when I started really painting again. I’ve had a painter’s block for about 8 years. My art used to be very dark and depressed, as was my life at times. Reflections of my happiness and spirituality are obvious in my art now.

Tell me about your creative process, from the beginning of a work to its completion:

I work with watercolor, ink on paper; acrylic, ink on canvas; and I also use adhesive required for odds-and-ends, usually some form of organic material. Watercolor has always been easy for me and now that I’ve had the means and the desire I am constantly learning new tricks. If I am working with watercolor things flow rather well. Sketch, erase, agree, argue with myself, agree, mentally place colors… then paint. Once this starts I work in a color circle. I used to paint typically on the floor; since my personal artistic revival I now have a studio space set up in my home with a proper desk and lighting. I start with one color and paint as much as I can of that one color. That dries and I do another color. I turn the paper as I go. When I’m working on multiple watercolors the same applies. I set out with… let’s say four different pieces… all watercolors. I use one color turning each artwork around until I’ve fulfilled that color need… then move onto the next painting with the same color and same process. By the time I’ve made a full circle usually it’s dry and I can start on a new color. If required this is when I cut, paste, apply, glue, adhere mixed media to a piece. Let the glue dry… then onto the next step. 99% of the time I use ink and detail each to a final happy signature.

To be honest sometimes I’ve had an idea in mind and from start to finish it’s taken me only hours. Then there are those times when I’m doing something that is really emotional, personal, something that requires my full attention… that can take anywhere from days to a month to complete. So far, a month is the longest amount of time I’ve EVER worked on one piece of art… I’m pretty sure if I did not have a deadline in order to travel to Boston, MA it would have taken me even longer minus the very late nights. As my kids get older and don’t require my attention as much I hope to be able to focus my energy on taking my time. It’s great cheap therapy.

When I’m working with acrylic I typically pencil out something on the canvas. I’ve never been very good at sketching something out first. I always jump in pencil first and end up with lots of eraser debris on the floor until eventually something sticks and off I go. Acrylics are so new to me. I start with background typically, and then head to the focal point. I also try to use one color at a time to waste less. I’ve learned that acrylics need time to dry but if ya don’t like it when it’s dry you can do it all over again. Since using acrylic is new to me I have been keeping most of my pieces pretty simple so they typically only take about a week but some have taken almost two. I have ideas that end up on canvas and get painted but once I step back I often hate them, which frustrates me because this only happens with acrylics. I will do a project over and over ending in more frustration. I have found I don’t feel like I’m in total control of the paint. When I use watercolors I know how much water to apply for each use. I know what brush works best for each application. With acrylics I don’t have the experience or the training yet for that type of painting to flow. That’s the great thing about the internet I can upload some YouTube videos – Acrylic 101. In recent months I have learned how to use mixed media better in my acrylic painting process.

What plans do you have for the future of your art?

Right now it’s a whirlwind of excitement for me. I’m painting all the time and have ideas come to mind 24/7. This has been the longest stretch of having my artist mojo in… well forever. I hope the future brings new exhibit opportunities, increase in orders for custom work, I hope for a few sales, and I can’t wait to see what I learn. Hopefully I will be able to show on a smaller scale and maybe even put on a show myself.

Do you have any advice for emerging artists?

Surround yourself with more artists and establish a good network in the art community.

Tell me something of an artistic quirk you have.

Whales. Either with crayon, pencil, paint, or dirt whales WILL be drawn at least once a day around here. My little ones really have a liking to them. These tend to be for fun, however, I do have one “work-in-progress” whale artwork, yet to be unveiled.

How do you promote your art both on and off the internet?

My first sales were at TAMUCC at a small open art festival type event. Very low-key but sold all my little ink drawings and cards I created for 5 bucks a pop I was stoked… being a poor college woman. Word of mouth is effective and I have enhanced this with having professional business cards to help with referrals.

This is the beginning phase of having real experience getting my name and works out there. The April 2013 event, RAW artists presents: Marvel was my debut show in Austin. It was great exposure and I learned so much. All this encourages my creative spark and I keep on painting, so much new art to see, and keep looking — there will be more.

Animation As a Form of Media

The art of tv storyboard is the initial method of creating a mesmerizing tale on TV animation for your audience. Animation can be used to inform, educate, advertise and express emotions just as live action can by using the same techniques; such as the use of colour, film language and sound. The NSPCC advert by Russell Brooke on television is a good example of how animation can be more effective than live action. There is no limit to how much a situation or an action can be exaggerated but still remain to be convincing. In the advert if a real child was being thrown around it would be extremely controversial and although it is actually what is going on behind closed doors it would be too much for some people to watch. The animated character is created in a way that portrays the child in a way that will get the message across. This example shows how valuable a tool animation really is, that it is not just a media form to entertain young children. It is also a good vehicle to show that cartoon violence can be used to a positive end.

On the other hand cartoon violence can be quite aggressive and graphic like the ‘Grand Theft Auto’ video games series and some Manga features involve a lot of violence and gore but created in a quite realistic way, not suitable for a young audience where as cartoons adapted from Marvel comics such as ‘Spiderman’ and the ‘X-Men’ are primarily orientated around fighting but done in a less bloody way. The fight sequences involve a few kicks and punches and a superhuman power is used which doesn’t normally inflict much gory, physical damage on the opponent, instead the loser is left with a scratch or two on their face with a trickle of blood oozing from their mouth. The fights, realistic as they may be, are not overly graphic, otherwise they would have to be shown after the watershed, but they are descriptive enough to express what is going on within the story. Most important of all is the fact that good always triumphs over evil in these cartoons. This does not justify the fighting but neither does it encourage it. Fisticuffs in a live action feature is always more violent than fighting in cartoons as it involves real people who can get hurt whereas cartoon characters feel nothing, making the fighting seem less realistic than a live action fight sequence.

The belief that animation is a media form directed mainly at children is not necessarily true, but in some situations this can be used to the advantage of the producers. A good example of this is the recent ‘DairyLea’ commercials, created in a 3D Stop Motion technique it shows some talking cows encouraging children to eat their product, not just on its own, but with mashed potato. The advert shows that ‘DairyLea’ can be mixed with other foods and the format is more memorable to children (the talking cows), therefore they are more likely to ask their parents to buy them some. Another good example of animation aimed at children is the ‘Green Cross Code’ (stop, look and listen). This informative commercial shows hedgehogs crossing a road in an animated and musical way, encouraging children to do as they do and they will be safe. This format was chosen so children will remember how to safely cross the road as told by singing hedgehogs-which would not have been possible in real life through a live action format. The advert offers an interesting, memorable alternative to mundane, forgettable, live action instructions.

Since animation is made popular by children, (for example, the phenomenon of the ‘Pokemon’ series) there are a number of ways producers can capitalise on the launch and success of a series. The producers see many ways of making more money from a successful cartoon because they know that children will do anything to get their hands on elements of merchandise, for example the ‘Pokemon’ battle cards. Merchandise does not just stop at playing cards though; there is stationary, cutlery, bags, toys, clothing, books, posters and video games. It is this side of animation that results in adults distancing themselves from the genre because of the fact that the cartoon series is blatantly aimed at children and so this is enough to put them off watching. Formerly the animation format adopted a biased approach aimed solely at a younger audience. In the early days animation it was fascinating concept, a drawing that was moving. Since it was a new concept people of all ages took an interest.

Now the omnipresence of the format through the years that people find it entertaining up to a point in their lives then just stop watching animation as they get older, then when they have kids of their own the viewing process starts again. It is because of this misconception of the format and its association with youngsters that successful attempts have been made to break this mould. Since some adults have an interest in animation specific titles and series’ have been aimed at an adult specific audience, these include the ‘2DTV’ series, some ‘Manga’ titles, Comedy Central’s ‘South Park’, ‘The Simpsons’, ‘Futurama’ and the Japanese ‘Hen-Tai’. To conclude this point, John Serpentelli writes in an article, that “The connection between children and animation seems simple enough. To a child, anything is possible and the same is true for animation.” The animation format is also able to inadvertently teach children about the artistic side of animation, as John Serpentelli says, “Since animation is an art form that can involve almost all other art forms and children can directly encounter the art world in an unfiltered manner.”

A recent comeback of 80’s animation has shown resurgence in popularity of classics such as ‘The Clangers’, ‘Bagpuss’ and ‘The Magic Roundabout’. Adults who viewed these animations when they were younger tune in to see these classics of their day, and their children join in. Some adults are required to watch animated videos in the workplace, on issues of safety. Having to watch, follow and understand irritatingly obvious and drab pieces of animation could be enough to put some adults off the format, believing the genre is as bad as the video they had to view. This also shows that animation can be as realistic and informative as live action, but simpler to understand, where as on the other hand cartoons aimed at children, however unrealistic, sometimes incorporate a moral or advice at the end of the episode, in an effort to teach the youngsters watching what is right and what is wrong. The reason being for this is that if children see their favourite cartoon character doing something or telling them to do something then they might be encouraged to do as they say. This just shows that if done correctly animations can be as entertaining as they are informative or educational for a range of audiences.

Within video games the games character which the player controls is brought to life by using animation. The character would be lifeless if it was not animated and so the use of animation is crucial. The incorporation of animation does not stop there as FMV’s (Full Motion Videos) are also used to tell a story within a video game. This is a good example of how animation can make the impossible possible; by giving inanimate objects and characters life.

Animation is a priceless tool for all types of media when the impossible is required to become possible. For example, there are no limits to action or comedy in an animated feature, and animation provides these additional effects in a live action feature, effects that would not be possible to recreate safely or due to the limitations of a human actor. An example of such effects that are used in the movies is in the film ‘The Mask’ starring Jim Carrey to allow the face of the mask wearer to become very rubbery, distorted and very flexible. Animation allows the actor’s face to become very pliable, allowing things to happen to it that are not humanly possible. The animation techniques incorporated within films are normally used in the special effects areas. This has been true as far back as movies such as ‘Sinbad’ where Ray Harryhausen’s 3D stop motion monsters were revolutionary in their day and opened up a whole new unchartered area of the world of film. As painstaking as the monsters were to bring to life the end results were astounding and very effective, adding a whole new atmosphere and dynamic to a movie. Examples of the use of this technique in films are: ‘Robocop’ and the ED-209 machine and the stone gargoyles in the film ‘Ghostbusters’ to name but two of many. The use of 3D stop motion within a live action movie did not get left behind though in favour of the technologically advanced effects that computer graphics offered. Animation can have a unique manipulative effect on objects as it can turn normally innocent lifeless objects into dark sinister beings In contrast, animation can turn toys into what children want them to be if they could come to life, as for example in Disney’s ‘Toy Story’. Again here is that element of target audience, depending upon what age group is being targeted animation can be as dark or as cheerful as required.

In the world today it is becoming increasingly clear how popular and widespread animation has become. The production of an animated feature or series is carried out in an almost identical process to that of a live action feature or series. For instance, both formats need a good story, as this will hold the attention of the audience. The story is then required to be storyboarded, just as a live action feature is. Correct use of film language is essential in both formats whether to create an action, suspense or an emotional sequence. Characters are incredibly important to both formats. The audience need to like, relate to or in the ‘bad guys’ case, hate them. If the cast lack the attributes then the audience just will not care what happens to the characters, will not feel involved in the feature and lose interest. Since a live action feature casts real life and famous actors to attract the audiences, animation is also taking advantage of this element but because the animated features involve computer generated characters, not real life actors it is just as important to give that character a personality, to convince the audience that a computer generated character can have just the same effect on them as a real life star. This is why Disney features are increasingly using big-name Hollywood actors and actresses within them to create believable and likable characters, as well as the fact that recognizable voice talent brings in bigger audiences just as live action films with well known stars attract bigger audiences. An example of this is ‘Toy Story’ where actors such as Tom Hanks, who provides the voice for ‘Woody’, have been involved with the feature and this in turn makes the genre more popular as it will encourage more people to see the film if they can recognize a voice or the film is associated with successful and famous actors.

There are many important similarities in the process of making a live-action feature and producing an animated feature. For example whether the character is animated or is a real person, they both have to convincingly portray emotions, express body language and provide an effective dialogue and realistic expressions. As well as the characters, aspects such as film language are important in both features to allow a situation to be suspenseful, emotional or to create an effective action sequence. As well as the visual aspect, the audio, too, has to be able to convince an audience and to add atmosphere to a scene. These are common similarities between producing an animated feature and making a live action feature. For example there is a much broader scope to what can be achieved in an animated feature over a live action movie, as live action tends to have a realistic edge since the actors are real people and props are real and so on An animated feature can be realistic or unrealistic and the situations and characters are in the hands of the animators. In live action however there are limits to what human actors can do. Also there is no need for stuntmen or stunt doubles in an animated feature, and animated characters are more flexible than real life actors since they don’t question working hours and make no wage demands! As technology has shown there could be no need for real actors soon as computer generated characters are becoming more and more realistic, one only needs to view recent animated features such as ‘Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within’. Even though the media forms of animation and live actions differ, the bottom line is best said by Professor Nina Martin, “The history of animation is in tandem with live action film. You cannot understand the history of live action narrative film without including animation”.

Despite there being many comparisons between live action film and animation, essentially both are the same, since”…the definition of cinema is rooted in the ability of its basic technology to present a series of representational images (and perhaps sounds) that create the illusion of movement where of course there is nothing but still images flashing at a prescribed speed.” An extract from ‘The Cinema Book 2nd Edition’. This emphasises the fact that both live action and animated films are created in the same ways but the only difference being the way in which they are expressed, live action as live action and animation as a primarily drawn medium but both forms consist of multiple images to create a sense of movement within the piece. To break this down even further, animation has been described by some critics as “Cinema at its purest” also from ‘The Cinema Book 2nd Edition’. “Since animation creates movement where there was never any ‘real’ motion at the pre-filmic stage”.

As more people become aware of how animation can be used and what it can do, it is increasingly being incorporated within live action films. For example it can be used to recreate dangerous stunts without putting anyone’s life at risk by using the ‘Green Screen’ technique, most recently seen it the box office hit film ‘Spiderman’ where the character is seen swinging high up from building to building, without actually having to in real life. An alternative use of animation is when something impossible for a human actor to do is done via animation, for example in the movie ‘The Mask’.

It is not just recently that movie crossovers have become popular. However they were also used in features such as ‘Mary Poppins’, where the human actors were sharing a world with animated creatures that interacted with each other. Since then films such as ‘Who Framed Roger Rabbit’, ‘Space Jam’ and ‘Rocky and Bullwinkle’ have each used this genre crossover successfully. The purest form of this technique is ‘direct on film’, where animation is created on film reels, specifically one medium is created on another medium. An extract from ‘The Cinema Book 2nd Edition’ explains that, “Such animation makes the fullest use of the medium as it foregrounds the entire process of making, projecting, and finally perceiving movement where none ever existed.”

The advancements in computer technology have enabled the animation format to go a step further, creating frighteningly realistic films and film effects. Paul Wells shows in an article from ‘Art and Animation’, “Live action and ‘animation’ are once more converging in ways that make one indistinguishable from the other, and servicing a new orthodoxy in ‘realism’ in many feature films like ‘Jurassic Park’ and ‘Twister’.” As the genre becomes ever more popular and more widely recognized as ‘Disney’ is a household name, just as Steven Spielberg is known for making great live action movies, Disney makes great animated features, as well as Warner Brothers, Hanna-Barbera and more recently Matt Groening. As a tool, animation is becoming used more often as it becomes more flexible as animation becomes more technologically advanced and ever more ground-breaking.

Such an example is the use of animation within video games which enables realistic visuals to be used in a computer generated, fictional world. ‘The Getaway’ on the PlayStation 2 shows how games are becoming more like interactive movies. The setting, London, is a real location recreated in painstaking detail. Vehicles have been created to resemble them in real life and the game uses real actors that have been created to look like their real life counterparts. The actors were motion captured and scripts were recorded, the same processes which an animated feature is produced. They were then used in the game to make the characters more convincing and believable. The game shows how animation can be pushed to its technological limits, proving that animation can be as real or as unrealistic as it needs to be. The game offers such an element of realism that the actors involved have actually been offered roles in popular television shows, for example the Joe Rice who plays the police officer in ‘The Getaway’ has recently been in ‘EastEnders’, showing that the live action and animation cross over are becoming more popular. Advancements in computer capability and its technology have enabled animation to have even more uses than ever before, but as Sean Wagstaff says from his Book ‘Animation on the Web’, “There’s no question that the art of 3D has not yet fully evolved, and in the hands of far too many users, it is still a science more than an art.”

Master the art of storyboarding

Storyboarding can assist you to solve a multitude of issues. It’s a wonderful method that allows Workshop Also Known As– and also several various other creatives– to work with tales that lack clearness and also framework, or concepts that need overthrowing in order to work.

If you need to inform stories for any kind of kind of industrial job, attempt storyboarding by adhering to these pointers.

  1. Get your story suggestions onto paper

Beginning a storyboard is never ever easy– all those blank panels! The remedy is not to deal with one cool sheet of paper. Use small Post-It notes as well as doodle loads of quick, rough thumbnail suggestions. Get all the suggestions out of your head in any type of order you such as. Do not really feel that you need to simply begin at the start and work forwards.

  1. Cut and shuffle concepts into storyboard panels

When you have a bunch of photos that are making good sense, re-sequence them and also dispose of as several as possible. Relocate everything about up until it really feels coherent as well as in equilibrium. You can do all this with stick figures, then replace every little thing with your character drawings once you understand what you are doing, functioning back into the voids any visual embellishments that enhance the story.

  1. Do not linger on the opening series

One of the most common blunders with storyboards is developing opening up sequences that drag on, consuming panels with establishing shots. Your goal must be to develop a crisp, clear cadence from the start. You can constantly turn that solitary opening panel drawing into a three-minute tracking shot at a later phase.

  1. Keep points flexible

Try not to secure yourself down first. Some animation supervisors write in sketches, while others sketch in writing. The storyboarding can start as harsh cut and paste, with functioning boards brought to completion by a procedure of distillation. Whatever must remain open to question up till it’s choice time.

  1. Embrace arbitrary concepts

Don’t get stalled in process when it involves ideas. If you remove on your own of each and every single arbitrary idea you can, at some time the excellent stuff will make itself known to you as well as find its place in the storyboard. Then sleep on it as well as reconsider all of it the following day.

  1. Check out personality stories

Dealing with sequential or personality stories can be tough. Attempt a couple of exercises to help, such as overcoming four-, nine-, 12- and also 24-panel storyboards, each structured around different personality stories or regulations.

  1. Make every framework count

Producing storyboards within restricted panel allocations presses an artist to make every framework count. When every drawing needs to justify its inclusion, being able to distil a tale into a small number of crucial structures is liberating. That refined ‘spinal column’ can then be specified right into a more complex narrative. Set yourself challenges or ask someone else to establish you an obstacle to see where you end up.

  1. Specify your personalities

To tell any tale, you need to understand your character. One method to do this is to ask the basic questions a scriptwriter always asks, such as: Who is your personality? What do they want? What do they do to get what they want? What do they attain ultimately? You could likewise attempt specifying this in an additional 9- or 12-panel board as the act of imagining those responses truly forces you to analyze your personality.

  1. Think past what’s on the web page

The surface of a character is explained in line or shape on the web page, however what truly lies within the drawing is provided emphasis by our readiness to engage with what that character can dramatize as well as share. Story, layout and also biography all affect just how a character rises past plain mark-making as well as becomes real to us.

  1. Accept feedback

It is constantly easier to understand what is amiss with other people’s work than your very own, and also sometimes providing feedback to others can help you think about your own project in a new way. The other way around, ask others to offer you comments and also try to take criticism in a positive fashion, thinking of exactly how you can direct these comments into your personality and also story to make it much better. Even if you do not agree with their ideas, it’s still a great suggestion to try them out– you could be surprised at the outcome!
