Recently, designing monsters is my favorite thing. Today I went to a panel and workshop that talks about Asian monsters. There were 4 panelists and each of them talked about different aspects of designing monsters. This one lady talked about intellectual properties aka IP. She said that a successful IP need to have a big following and mutual feelings between artists and audience.
This month in Taiwan is ghost month, so there were many talks of ghosts. One guy said that if you are not married and have children, you will die a lonesome and wild ghost. Unless you adopt a child, then the child will pray to you and you won’t be lonesome and wild. People pray to ghosts during ghost month to prevent the ghosts from making people sick or give them bad luck. Ghosts will not cause trouble if they have places to go and eat.
After the panel and 40 minutes break there was a monster drawing workshop which is the above photo. During this workshop, the teacher talked more about monsters, mostly Taiwanese monsters and monsters from different parts of Asia like Japan and China. After Mr. Yeh’s lecture, everyone in the workshop started to pick up their pencils and draw their own monsters. While everyone draws, Mr. Yeah goes around the two big tables critiquing students’ drawings. Mr. Yeh liked my drawing a lot and said that I am a professional artist.
