Thank you for agreeing with taking this interview, do you have any things to say beforehand?
I would like to thank once again the opportunity to talk a little bit of my work for those peoples who enjoy and always comment job. Thanks :D
Could you introduce yourself please?
My name is RicardoFX, I'm 33 years old and am self-taught in digital art,I'm living in Rio de Janeiro/Brazil. Digital art is still just a hobby for me this is not my real professional activity,but I can not imagine my life without digital art.My main software is the Photoshop, I have an original version of Photoshop Cs2, and everything I do use it,and also drawing with pen and paper and scan the images, making the most of my shapes and some brushes. Sometimes I use illustrator too, but I'm still learning this software. Now I'm thinking about buying Photoshop cs5 and a Intuos 4 Tablet to improve the quality of my projects.and always keep searching for inspiration and observing trends and new artists.
When have you started with Graphic Designs? Can you tell us how you first started Photoshopping? And since when?
I started with Photoshop two years ago. That was when I needed to do a job for the shop where I work and since then I fell in love with Photoshop and Digital Art. Now, with the little time I have try to improve my knowledge.
Where do you get your inspiration?
Music videos clips are my greatest source of inspiration. I love hip hop and I love music. I also really observe the work of the masters of digital art.
Is there something you would like to say to just beginning designers?
What can I say? Never give up to doing what you really like. Never give up your dreams, NEVER...
My World: This work was a mixture of different techniques, such as illustration, vector and mask.that´s all ;D.
What program(s) do you use to create your work?
My main program is a original version of Photoshop cs2. I'm thinking of upgrading to version cs5.sometimes I use another program like Illustrator for example.
My main editing program is Photoshop. I currently did many designs with free hand and turned them into a vector to use in my projects.
Are you working on a project A.T.M.*? Can we see a little fragment of it?
Yes, but unfortunately I cannot show you a preview. A photographic studio based in Switzerland has commissioned some work and I am currently developing the second. Perhaps after the commercial release of work, I can show it in my portfolio. I'm not creating any personal art currently.
*A.T.M. = At The Moment
Have you already seen Photoshop Cs5?
I'm outdated, because my version is still the CS2, but I hope to upgrade my Photoshop to version CS5. I have not seen but have heard good feedback about the new version.
What is your favorite band?
My favorite styles of music are Hip Hop and Gospel. Kayne West, Kid Cudi, T.I king and 50 Cent are my favorites rappers.
Do you have a favorite color?
I do not have just one favorite color. I like the mix of all colors.
What are your hobby’s besides designing?
I love physical exercise, I do daily exercises in a gym, and the best part is being together with my fiancee.
What was your first piece of ‘art’?
I honestly do not remember very well, but it sure was not very nice to see :) hehe.
dance with me: This was another clean job and with a very nice end result.I used in this image water paint,displace effects and a stock of butterflies.
Who is your idol?
This one is easy to answer: JESUS
Thank you for this interview.
