Interview with Henrik Moses

Q5: How was it for you to learn the process of that? Did you teach yourself, take classes or learn from other existing artist’s tutorial?I took a short course of drawing and painting when I was 16 or so. I wanted to learn “the traditional way” as well, and to make sure I wasn’t missing out on any basic techniques. Other than that, I’m self-taught. 

Q6: Do you think its possible for you to describe the process of your art style, what are the dos and don’ts, the important aspects you set yourself to achieve your style of design?

Well, it usually starts with a certain motive. Especially when I’m making a conceptual drawing. This could be a thought or a feeling I’d like to express, or a point I want to make. The next step is what I call ‘mind drawing’. This is actually the most important part, on which I spend a considerable amount of time. What I do is basically visualize the work, paying close attention to different aspects of it and their effect (both visual and emotional) on the viewer. Then I start making the composition sketches which eventually lead to the actual drawing.

 

Q7: What are the biggest struggles you encounter as an artist?

My biggest struggle is managing the ideas that are floating around in my head. There are so many of them; and just when I decide to pick one and stick with it another one comes along that seems slightly better, so I end up doing none. It’s a disaster!

 

Q8: Do you have any other future plans that don’t involve creative art? 

Travelling, learning sign language and writing a book.

Q9: Do you have any personal mottos, quotes or existing quotes that motivates you to do what you love doing? Can you share it with us or provide words of wisdom from your experiences for those who look up to you?

Be passionate. In whatever you do. Have fun, but take it seriously.

 

Q10: What do you think the future will hold for all artists from all backgrounds from now?

As long as there’s an audience, there will be artists. It works both ways so I don’t think much will change, except maybe the mediums.

 

Q11: To round off the last question, where can your fans and new fans find updated news and progress from you,  – Where can we find you?

Q12: Ok this question is optional for you, you and I know that art theft is so common now in the internet world, so are there any words you want to share or shout at to those who steal people arts?

There’s a lot I could say ‘about’ these people, but not much ‘to’ them. I would just be stating the obvious and if they had the intelligence to understand it, they wouldn’t be doing it in the first place, would they?
