Becoming an Accidental Expert with Kyle T. Webster (Part 1 of 2)

Thoughts on Illustration - A podcast by Tom Froese - Tuesdays

Categories:

I'm excited to share with you part 1 of a 2-part conversation I had with illustrator and pioneering digital brush-maker, Kyle T. Webster. Kyle is the guy behind the many, many digital illustration brushes (2,400 and counting) that come bundled with Adobe Photoshop and Fresco. In this episode we talk about his beginnings as an aspiring illustrator many years ago, and how he slowly but steadily built up a small empire around his digital brushes — which have no doubt shaped the world of digital illustration as we know it today. We have a wide ranging conversation that touches on things like: — Building up an illustration portfolio when you haven't had any clients yet — Why working in different styles can make good business sense — What Kyle means when he calls himself an Accidental Expert — What Kyle finds most meaningful in his work and career, besides drawing or making brushes — Why making Creativity a way of life is necessary to building up a successful career — And much, much more!
