Digital Paintbrush of Eren Arik

Posted on 17. Aug, 2011 by DAS Team in Articles, Inspirations

Hi. My Name is Eren Arik.I’m from Turkey. Like all other artists, I have been drawing and painting since my childhood. After high school, I studied to become an art teacher in Uludag University. I soon realized that I’m not looking for only painting or drawing, I also want to animate my drawings. So I decided to leave Uludag University and attend Dumlupinar University for animation where I graduated. I’m currently an animation assistant in Dumlupinar University. I’m still working as concept artist for the entertainment industry. My focus is on overall visual development for the film and video game industries. To achieve this I employ several different styles ranging from a more photo-realistic look, to a painterly illustrated style, and finally to 3D sculpting.

Works:
