The post What Is This Sorcery? It’s Nancy Liang’s Animation Art appeared first on 5dwallpaper.com.
]]>Based in Sydney, Liang graduated with a Bachelor of Design at UNSW Art and Design and has no formal training in animation. As such, her animation, often experimental, pushes the boundaries of more traditional forms, incorporating mediums like drawing, painting, and paper cutting with digital programs like Adobe Photoshop, Premiere Pro, After Effects, Aero, and Processing.
Liang explains that the elements that make each animation piece have all been hand-drawn or handmade frame by frame, which naturally takes a lot of time and patience. Using kraft paper cutouts, she arranges her pieces in the visual form of a diorama “The objects in my work have hundreds of layers down to the shadow under window pane,” she explained once in an interview with Brown Paper Bag.
“For me, everything must be separate. That way I can move or redraw single elements frame by frame rather than create hundreds of finished collages frame by frame”. In order to do so, she draws, cuts, pastes, and shifts all the elements around. “It is a reiterative process,” she admits.
After playing around with the different pieces, she then scans all of her finished layers into the computer, arranges them in Photoshop, and only then proceeds to animate. The end result will most definitely mesmerize you.

]]>“Chubby, confident girls are my favorite thing to draw,” notes Hydman. I also have a thing for sad boys. I don’t know why I like it when guys cry, I just do, so I make them. Literally.” With a tongue-in-cheek attitude, her illustrations have a humoristic edge to them and clearly aren’t meant to be taken seriously.
Happy 2020 dear friends!!!
“I tend to follow my gut and what I feel is funny, interesting or plain pretty in the critical moment of inspiration,” says Hydman, adding that she’s also inspired by other artists she finds on Instagram. “Other times I just remember that I love The Beatles or that I’m just stunned by how awesome Sailor Moon is, so I pay a little tribute,” she says. “It’s a project I do entirely for my own sake, for the fun of it and for some GIF-fame.”
But though her work has an element of absurdity to it, her creative process requires a certain state of mind. “While working on an illustration I feel calm and concentrated,” she relays, “it’s a state of mind I’m longing for when I’m stressed out about something.”

]]>“I like to take things or ideas that are familiar and then spin it until it feels ‘right’ — not a definite kind of right, but a forgiving, ever-shifting, strange kind of right that might have been made up with all kinds of wrongs,” said the designer and animator in an interview with Creative Mornings. “An intended response to my work can be something like, ‘Hmmm..that’s weird, but I kinda like it.”
It’s hard not to “kinda like” his work, which, in its repetitiveness, has a somewhat soothing effect. “You might find that your work is a little weird, different, or unconventional, but that’s a unique quality which sets you apart from other people,” said Keeree.
