artistic goals Archives - Liron Yanconsky

Today I want to share with you a new passion I started developing around MANGA!

I’ve been reading manga and watching anime for over a decade now, and somehow got back to a very old ambition of making my own.

In this episode I’m talking about my goals, what I’m currently doing and the challenges I’m facing.

Here’s a quick summary…!

What is my goal? – To create a one-shot manga chapter, from start to finish. These usually run at around 64 pages. I then want to get it published, probably in Japan.

This is a huge goal, by the way. Very few are good enough to get their works published.

Which brings me to the next point…

What am I currently doing? – To be good enough, I have a HUGE way to go, especially when it comes to drawing people in the manga style.

I have so much to learn in order to get to a publishable quality (should have made my manga in watercolor 😂).

What are the challenges? – The main one is definitely drawing people in the manga style. On the one hand, they are supposed to be somewhat realistic. Depending on the genre, you’ll see all sorts of different styles and approaches – some fairly realistic and others more cartoony.

But I do aim for a somewhat realistic style.

Then, on the other hand – it should LOOK LIKE MANGA. Not only do I need to practice realism, but also stylization and manga in particular.

To conclude, I have a long way to go, and this is definitely a long term process. I apologize if diving deeper on that takes some time away from other work, but I am doing my best to keep up with everything.

And I hope that in the future I’ll have something to show for it. And if you’re into manga – that’s perfect!

Thank you for your continued support.

In this episode I’m sharing with you my artistic goals for 2020!

Here’s a quick list of them (the order is very fluid haha):

Improve the quality of my paintings
Improve my teaching skills
Sell a painting for a PREMIUM price
Innovation
New and BETTER products

The Quality of My Art

I think at the heart of this is my art. This is the basis for everything.

It’s what charges me up with energy and what I enjoy doing the most. If I want to continue providing value for people in the long run, I HAVE TO work on my art.

Then comes the teaching, selling and so on…

A Premium Watercolor Course for FREE

Another thing that’s really been on my mind is creating an amazing product and giving it away for completely free.

Update: I’ve brainstormed several ideas and I think I’ll go with Simplifying in Watercolor.

I want to, once and for all, solve this mystery for people.

I see many struggle with this concept of how to simplify, reduce clutter and paint what matters.

So let me know if you think that’s a good topic.

I hope you enjoyed this episode. If you want to reach out – you know where to find me 😉

I hope to hear from you!
