Passion for Life is my latest book, giving insight into my philosophies in life drawing and life itself. With over 200 figure drawings in many different styles and techniques, Passion for Life will inspire and give you a look into the art of life drawing with a whole new perspective never seen before. Passion for life, and all it contains is an insightful book, not just for the drawings, but the message it sends. The quotes, and inspirational thoughts, are not just for artists, but for anyone who aspires to be happy, content and productive.
What I would like to do again is giveaway 2 free copies. I have found that many artists are working but not following their real passion, and have the desire to do something different with their art other than what it is they are actually doing. So I ask this question?
If you woke up tomorrow and had the opportunity to be doing that one special thing you really want to be doing, what would it be?
All you have to do is leave a comment on the post and put your website or blog URL so people can see what you do. There is no right or wrong, on Monday, June 29th I will do a live video post where I will place everyone's name in a bowl and pick the two winners .
And if you can't wait, you can order my book directly @ http://silvertoons.com/store.html or click on the title. All books come signed with an original sketch of course.
Good luck!

«Oldest ‹Older 201 – 379 of 379I'd be happy doing most anything that allowed me to indulge in my love of cartoon art. Working on my own stories with my own original characters, or doing other types of cartoony illustrative work...a variety of things could be fun!
Thanks for the awesome contest. Even if I don't win, I certainly hope to be able to pick this one up soon.

Draw. Paint. Sleep.
I have always wanted to work for Pixar or any other big time studio. But to tell you the truth I just want to be able to do my artwork.
http://rockyroark.deviantart.com/
Truthfully, I don't really know what I want pursue within the years to come, because I've been so influenced in drawing that I've forgotten to think about what I should plan to take in my future career.
To be honest, I wouldn't mind if it be anything that stands around in the art field. I really don't.
Art has been the biggest passion in my life after I started to acknowledge it when I was around 8-9 years old. I don't really remember why I was influenced to draw so well at the time, but I didn't think to stop wasting away my talent, and I kept on building up my skills. As my 8 years of drawing got the best of me; though, I've began to see why I was so hooked with it in the first place. And it's the one word that still hits me the most, and the only one that reminds me why I still have the passion to draw... and that is imagination.
I was always one of those people to observe a lot of things when I was small, because I was always... well, I probably still am... the shyest person towards everybody, and I wouldn't socialize well with friends. So during my time in those school's lonely lunch-hours, I would most of the time sit at the corner of the buildings and watch the children play, listen to the birds chirping, observing the grass and trees dancing against the wind, etc. (but I would sometimes find the time to play with them when I felt like it). Most of my time was spent on observing, which had me thinking about a lot of things in my life. Not like the questions, "why is the sky blue" or "when a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, will they still hear it fall", but something more deeper and creative. And that was when my imagination came to play.
Although, I don't draw to the esteem of expressing myself, nor as much as anybody else would, I still love to draw so much, because it's like that other dimension where I can escape into and imagine the things that cannot be possible to exist in the real world. That also explains how I got my username, MyFantasiWorld.
Well, I just hope that my art will someday come out into something great,though, and that is why I still pursue to grow my skills every minute of my day.
Goal is to be a working artist/illustrator

If I up tomorrow doing the one thing that I want to do it would be working in the animation world doing either concept work or actually doing the animation. I have always wanted to do animation. I hope that one day it will become a reality. Thanks Stephen for all your hard work and inspiration. As a student it has been nice to receive the uplifting quotes and hear your story. Keep it up.

I'm a grad student trying to get my MFA in Sequential Art, but I have a BAS in Illustration and Computer Graphics. I did start my college career with a third degree in Writing, but had to regrettably drop it due to cost and time issues.
Right now, there's so much I want to do. I'd be happy simply designing characters for games and film, or teaching art to college students, or just writing scripts all day.
So long as I can keep writing and drawing, I'll be happy.

"If you woke up tomorrow and had the opportunity to be doing that one special thing you really want to be doing, what would it be?"
I'd like to wake up one day with the ability to get all the ideas out of my head, good and bad, out in some form or other. Whether it's a cartoon, a comic book, a comic strip, a puppet show, a children's book, I want them to reach people, make them smile, and inspire them.
That would be the one special thing I hope to one day achieve.
Thanks for being an inspiration to me Stephen!

I wanna make movies of all the stories I have. They all require some sort of big budget... But I've been working towards that since I was 13 and now, at 22, I can almost see it happening!
my web site!
I'd love to be able to work on my personal projects-- to write and draw my own graphic novels. But to be even more ambitious about that, my dream would be to direct an animated tv series for a story that I got to help develop from scratch.
http://paintdump.blogspot.com
well i would deffintly try to be getting better at what ive been doing my passion is to be a character designer and im constantly pushing myself and trying to achieve those goals
http://explosiv22.deviantart.com/
I'd be working with a team of artists and writers, spinning out concepts for stories, cartoons and graphic novels. Half writer, half artist, because as far as I'm concerned, the two cannot, and should not, be mutually exclusive.
I recently realized that I'll never be truly happy until I'm in the "Walt" position: the creator and show runner of my own endeavor, be it a show, film or business. I think as long as I don't lose sight of that goal, I can keep working as an employee in the meantime- with the idea of learning how to and not to run a company.
Forgot to leave my url.
Here are a few:

I'd love to work on a movie or animated feature designing characters. Brainstorming, y'know like you did in grade school, except with drawing. Ideas can be expressed in so many ways, characters can be all shapes all sizes. Sometimes it can be tough to live in this world of infinite possibilities, but if its a good idea, you can have a helluva lot of fun with just 1 idea.
Since I'm pretty much doing what I want to do, I guess I should be thinking, "What do I want to do if I didn't have to work?"
I think I would like to produce, either in TV or film. You know, be the big financier, and then get my Emmy or Oscar!

If I had the opportunity to be doing exactly my dream once I wake up, I would love to be working on an animated film. Working as either a member of the Art department in developing concept art, or as an animator. I will not give up till I am exactly where I want to be. :D

I would love to be creating my own graphic novels that don't have to be shoe horned into genres. I'd love it if characters could have quirks and not have to be sorted like stereotypes...so I'd create things that weren't even if it wasn't the norm. Then of course I'd love to translate that over to an animated series.

I wanna keep doing what I'm doing...but do MORE of it and do it FULL TIME. I write stories for a comic book format and do some inking coloring and lettering too.

I want to create. Work on my story, my comic, my art--
I've been an aspiring artist all my life, and worked extensively in commercial art. Lately, I've been dabbling in the animation industry, freelancing some work. Somewhere along the path, I picked up and grew to love writing. It is one of my new passions.
I would like to get into the industry as a character designer, writer, and all around idea generator. I look for inspiration in all things nature, most especially people, who are a source of great wonder to me. (Sometimes scratching my head in frustration, other times cheering their successes.)
http://thegolemhunter.blogspot.com
Thanks Stephen! Good luck everyone!
I would either want to be working as an illustrator, or preferably as an animator.
I'd want to have my own tshirt label and design prints for shirts. I'd also love to have a graphic novel on the way :)

I'm actually doing what I want to be doing jobwise, but I always want to improve my drawing skills. To me, staying stagnant, repeating yourself endlessly is artistic death. I work very hard at just very simply doing more life drawing and learning how to "see" better.

I had dream to work at Pixar.Disney
that dream was out of reach until I moved from Jordan to the US on jan 2008...
thats when I decided to switch career from an architect to animator, tough decision but It was the key to my happiness
I'm working hard to nail thit dream
& I'm half way through Animation Mentor's program,
Its a long way to the top if you wanna rock n roll...

I recently had a motivation boost from a awesome flash animation class. Right now my wife and I are working on building our webcomics, as well publishing our fist book. We're both working towards our goals and taking care of our seven month old, who actually gives us more motivation to get out and keep creating. Check out our comics and work.

Graphic Art isn't a terrible thing to be surrounded by all day... but art to me means more than pretty pictures. I have this crazy pull towards music endeavors as well. So, as completely vague as this is going to sound, I'd like nothing more than to be proficient enough at any craft so that there are no more obstacles to dodge, no distractions to block-out, and absolutely nothing between me and my instrument. I won't even be picky about what "instrument" that may be.
If this question popped up a year ago I would have said painting. So many thing have changed in the past year I'm not sure what my passions are.
There is one thing that never gets old. Live caricature. Not in theme parks, but parties and big events. The guest receive the art for free, and that changes everything. It gives you a freedom. A freedom to exaggerate as hard as you want. A freedom to be the artist you want to be. You get this feeling that your the life of the party. Everyone hanging on the next stroke of your marker. All the emotional feedback you get. Laughter,anger, sadness. I hunger for a response. And the pay is great...
Looking at the 240 people above me, I think competing with them for a book is sorta out of the question :P
However, I love whenever you do these free giveaways because these artists reveal themselves on your comments section and I have a blast visiting their art :)
I may not be winning a book, but I get a whole lot of galleries out of it! It's still one heck of a deal :D
When this is over, I'll still consider buying the book, I hadn't realized that it was a written novelization of your art philosophies.
Thanks for hosting these incredible giveaways :)

Ideally I'd be making a successful living doing what I love most; designing characters and bringing them to life through 3d modelling and animation in the form of animated films created by the likes of Pixar and Dreamworks. I'd also have my own personal studio space where i could work on my designs and Illustrations and have them published in various books/magazines so they can be enjoyed and appreciated by others :)

I want to be working on my own ideas for film and television!!! I know that the jobs I've had and currently have will help me to reach that goal along with the many great artists and people I've met along the way. Love the life lessons you send on facebook man they really make you think about being in the moment when your working. Thank you again for being such an inspiration!!!!

I would start my own studio. One where I hire people full time, not this few month contract and then cut you loose business. I would invite, encourage, and foster ideas from my artists, not some outsider that doesn't have a love of animation. My productions would not be run like an assembly line, everyone would give input and contribute to all aspects of the production pipeline. Everyone at my studio would be respected and treated as equals, the designers, board guys, writers, producers, directors, clean up crew, EVERYONE would feel they are working together to make something special. We would be a family.
I just wanna have a small studio to express whatever I have in mind, Design, 3D models, Animation shorts, commercials..

Waking up in the morning and sitting down to animate at my own studio and offices. As many have I have been trying to become an animator for a very long time and I got so fed up with not being able to learn it or go to a school in the mid west I packed up everything own and went to school on the east coast and just when I thought everything was going great I realized I picked yet another wrong school. Right in the middle of the school year my teach QUIT!!! the whole class was devastated. Another person replaced him but he never really animated before and have very little working knowledge for the art form.
I left the school and worked for a bit and my desire just kept burning in me so I started studying on my own every thing anything in my spare time. But the money I was making to live on the east cost wouldn't cover my living expenses I was forced to move home and start over in my art career and figure out how to approach it in a whole new way.
I learned lots of lessons, I met amazing people and I long for a life as an animator and an independent artist instead of working a crappy retail job to pay the not outrageous student loans I made in order to go to school.
After all that I know I will be an animator and be able to have my own company. I have too.
I would love to actually make my own character designs into something more than a doodle in my notebook. I'd like them to turn into t-shirt designs, patches, and maybe eventually even a mini comic or something.

Your book is looking good as usual, Silver! :D
All the best!
I've always been a bit practical, as well as whimsical when it comes to being able to draw. I've always wanted to open my own multimedia studio in a bad neighborhood, to not only allow myself the opportunity to work on a multitude of projects in different design styles, constantly learning new methods of doing things and implementing cartooning and illustration, but also to help out some of the kids in that bad neighborhood.
I'd allow some of them with talent and drive to learn the ins and out of the business. The idea is to give a real world applied education and experience to someone who can't afford it, but really wants it and can inspire themselves to make it in the world.
Sorry, Mr. Silver.

I was accepted at an animation school some days ago, so I'm very happy and jumping around :-D
If I had finished the education right now, I would love to work for Dreamworks. Mostly because of "Over the hedge" and "Kung fu panda" I adore those films and would very much like to be a part of it all.

Step one: Get the skills to draw whomever, whenever, doing whatever. :P
Step two: Convert that skill into financial stability.
Step three: Smile.
I would take my son to a musuem and showing him my paintings on the wall.. is it too much? Otherwise I will be happy to win the lottery and buy that musuem... www.guidosalimbeni.com

Thank you for reading our dreams, Steve. I dream of going to a stranger's party, and really observing him/her. Without talking. To have him stop - at my command - any time I see something I want to draw. And to have him stay in that stopped pose for as long as I want to try different ways of drawing what it was that I wanted to capture. With nobody evaluating whatever it was that I was trying to draw.
Note: even better if I could sometimes have person dressed, and sometimes have person nude.
(And after I can do this, I'd love to be able to do it to people I know personally)
to clarify my previous post - 'without talking' means without anyone talking with Me. I do want them talking and relating to each other. Because I'd want to draw what they're doing with each other and what they're doing with themselves. But me just observing - not part of it.
I forgot to leave my url.
I should do that bcause I'd like to win one of Your Wonderful books:

I'm a 3D animator and a freelance character designer. Been really happy since the very first day of my job, especially when I'm paid to do what I love: Animating. If I had the one opportunity to be doing that very one special thing, it would be joining Pixar and working as a team with the fellow animators. To learn, be inspired, and also to inspire many others out there who share the same passion.
Is it wrong that I'd want to be on the background of several projects? I'd want to write but not draw my own webcomic. I'd want to help produce a movie and also make my own coffee table book filled with art, pictures and poetry.

fifteen years ago I would have said, any job where I cculd animate and support my family....well its funny how your perspective changes because fifteen years later I am the senior animator at a well known game company, where I am able to support my family and the only thing I want to do now is the exact thing I was able to do in school, create and animate my own characters and stories. Funny how once you get to where you want to go, you realize there was something really special about the time and place you were so desparately trying to move on from...

This is so relevant to me it's not even funny. Right now I'm working as a designer. Unfortunately I don't get to draw more than a thumbnail, and even that is quite rare, a month or so can go by.
If I could wake up tomorrow with a new life, I'd be creating my own children's books, and working freelance from home. Pretty much anything that would involve drawing and painting for a living.

I would like to get up at 6 o'clock in the morning and paint till evening without any thought of making money, putting the bread on the table, that is all.

I´d want to be doing 2d traditional animation. taking the time to do all the steps from the process and creating peaces of art at the same time that I improve my skills. Now I´ve been working for over a year in limited flash animation for an online project, that give me just 2 weeks to complete from storyboard, charater design, bgs, animation and final edition just by myself =S

I'd wake up, not have to work on video games and instead work in feature animation. Pixar, Dreamworks, Sony, BlueSky, Framestore, Disney....here I come!! Well I can dream... ;)

I would develope a few of the many independent projects that I fantasize about daily. I work as a designer and I love it, but I just dont have the time my side projects would take to do well. In the mean time I get up 2 hours early every day and draw or paint before work, plus a full day each weekend. So hopefuly when the time comes to dedicate to the independent route, i will be ready.

Ever since I was about 3 years old, I've know that I want to be involved with the animation process. Either a character animator, character designer or directing my own stories. My goal has never changed. I still strive constantly to get my foot in the door of an animation studio. I have all the heart one person could have. My talents are home grown and could always use improvement. My current side project is to work on my own story pilot. This is the culmination of 2 years of thinking and writing. It is like nothing anyone has seen before and is in the process of being finished. Once done, rather than pandering to other companies of what they want to do and who they want for their studio. I will create my own. I have the drive and know how to do just that. My goals have never changed and I am willing to do what I must to get to the finish line.

I would love to be illustrating and potentially even writing children's books. Artists that have inspired me most in my art career have mostly been Maurice Sendak and Dr. Seuss, both of whom have made such a huge impact with their works. I think that there is something more to children's books than what people usually think. They are seemingly for just children, but really they are just ideas boiled down to their simplest form, ideas that even adults can resonate with.

I would be drawing full time rather than making a living at a candy factory. It would also give me more time to work on Jigsaw puzzles which I absolutely love but have little time for.

This is great!
You are an inspiration!

I love doing character design and concept art with an emphasis on simple shapes. I also do voice acting, as as most of my teachers and piers have told me, it is my strongest skill.

thx man for this big opportunity . i m livng in india . and here is no 1 good class or academy to teach what is animation . if i woke up tomorrow and had the opportunity to be doing that one special thing i want to create 1 good academy to teach indian people what is animation really means .
here many people (including me ) want to join animation mentor or academy of art but dont have tht much money to join . this is my dream hope this will come true one day .
In the world of my dreams I would wake up next to my boyfriend and two cats, get up, get ready and drive to the animal shelter I help out at. There, I would have my own desk, writing and illustrating children's books about animals, teaching the next generation how to treat every creature with love and respect. In my breaks, I would help feed the animals, clean their cages, talk to them and draw inspiration for my books from them.
*sighs* yeah, that would be the perfect life :)

Hi
I have more then just one special thing I would want to be doing. I rather like what I'm working on right now as well (computers, networking, programming).
If I had to choose from the list of special things, one choice would be voice acting. I'm not an artist, so I can't bring characters to life by drawing them. I would want to be able to give them a voice though. It would be one of the things that would make me (and hopefully others) happy. =D
Keep up the hard work.

I would love to have more time to work on personal projects like my own picture book. To be creating the kind of stories, characters and worlds that engage and inspire people.

I'd love to be doing conceptual work for film/tv.
I would want to be stranded for awhile on an island, with family, a few friends, paper, scissors, pens...and this giveaway book.
I've been on an island before, so this wish would take me "back to the future" except I'd have this book and a little more wisdom, to do art freely, not sure what would be created....

I'm already doing what I would wish for...teaching animation to students who still want a career in this crazy industry, even after I warn them about how tough it will be. I wanted to teach animation since my first year of animation studies in 1981, the most satisfying year of my life....and then I REALLY wanted to teach when it took me four months after graduating, to get work because I didn't know the things I should have learned in animation school.
http://capgrads.blogspot.com
i want to learn more about animation n share with every single person who is interested in art of animation....
I want to be a part of a project I believe in, as I am truly inspired by the affect the visual medium can have on the world.

If I woke up tomorrow, with the means to do it, I would open an art gallery. I've always wanted to, since age 13 that is, open an art gallery to display all different styles and art. I would have have a section for teens who can't really afford to put there art out there, so they can get started.

Well I already draw comics, which is kinda dream-job-ish, but my absolute dream job would be writing and illustrating my own graphic novels, and then having Pixar turn them into animated movies, oh yeah!
Some of my stuff's at www.prisoneronearth.deviantart.com/
Thanks Stephen!
I would work as a character designer or as an animator. I would want tell my stories and show them visually and to see my audience laugh or cry. Because, that's what animation is all about. As long you made someone happy or shed a tear, that's what matters.

My dream is to be off antidepressants and to be healthy enough to follow my passion for animation...
From the day that I watched an artist at Disney World Orlando working draw Tarzan I knew animation was all I wanted to do and be part of.

I have been dong art for trade books and educational/religious products but I would love to work in concept art/design. It's so much fun to get lost in a description of a world and develop the visuals for that world.

I would be working at Weta Workshops as a digital modeler and even though I won't be doing that when I wake up tomorrow I will be one day soon.

No doubt about it, I'd be doing freelance concept art (environment, charachters and machinery) for major studios, but i'd be exstatic just to be earning enough to pay the bills.
i would love to be a freelance character designer and a visual development artist.....
ooops.....www.trevorspencer.blogspot.com
I'd want to be animating, drawing and happy =D

I guess if I were given the chance to do anything I want...I would say waking up and being able to drive to work at an animation studio would be it. Just something to push my imagination and sketching to the next level. Cheers!

If I could do anything one day I would be a super hero. Saving lives in a fantastic way. Everything from preventing car accidents to stopping King Pin drug lords and human traffic rings. Corrupt governments would feel my fist of justice crush them to let the people rise up. Maybe even an thwart an evil scientist if I find the time in the day.
I think that's about it.
Sincerely, Super Sam

I would be taking a walk with my daughter; stopping to draw what we saw.
Thanks for the book offer win or lose.

I'm in comics now as a colorist, but I intend to be fully illustrating my own comics and covers. Somewhere between Alex Ross and Adam Hughes.
I would be woking at my very own animation studio, creating stories characters and worlds, that Disney wasn't brave enough to take on. I would be be making stories that children and parents could watch together without parents feeling as though they are watching a childrens program, and for children being able to watch and knowing that they are not being babied.
If I could do this right now I would be so euphoric, knowing that I've crossed a bridge to where 2-d animation has yet to go would be my dream.
Mine would be to work on an animated series based off of one of my own characters, and second to that creating a comic series with the same. Working for any animation studio in a design capacity would be a dream come true
Congrats on the book Stephen. It's looks amazing.
As much as I love working on various projects with supremely talented artists, it's always a challenge trying to find the time and energy to create personal work to balance the 'job'.
I think at the end of the day, creating my own art and stories that interest people and touch them in some way would be the dream! (Whilst still being able to pay the bills and travel once in a while).
Hey Stephen,
Great Blog! We met at the Emerald City Comic Con a few years ago. Since then I've been publishing my own Art Books and Calendars of Art. Promoting them has been my one difficulty but I'm still banging away at it!
Thanks for all the inspiration!
