Hello everyone,

Today we’re launching the pilot to one of our new series projects: Layout, focusing on Japanese drawing artists, their inspirations and their work.

For this first episode, we’ve met Acky Bright, a multi-talented illustrator navigating between various techniques, whose works are inspired by many artists and pop culture titles, with a strong influence from Akira Toriyama and Katsuya Terada (the latter who makes a brief appearance in the video.)

This is a trial run for us; while we have other projects running in the pipe for the channel, we’ll be judging from this pilot’s performance on whether we will keep this series going.

We hope you’ll enjoy and please spread the word if you do!

Acky Bright | Drawing anywhere, with anything.

English subtitles are available under the "CC" menu. Layout is a new series focused on Japanese drawing artists, their inspirations and their work. In this first episode, we spent time with Acky Bright, an illustrator whose works are inspired by many artists and pop culture titles, with strong influences from Katsuya Terada or Akira Toriyama. Navigating between digital, pencil or marker, Acky Bright takes his drawing philosophy from Katsuya Terada: simply draw, anywhere, using any method. Tracks used: - A Necessary Journey - Sean Williams - Velvet Fog - Brendon Moeller - Through Adversity - Michael Vignola - Sojourn - Dear Gravity #drawing #illustration
