Enjoy the interview, show them some love, spread the word and download the wallpaper! Have a lovely week everyone and we will be back with more wallpapers and interviews! Visit our friends here: Leonardo Dentico Online Portfolio Wallpaper Art: Hey guys, welcome to WallpaperArt! We're really happy to do our second double interview, could you please introduce yourself to our readers and tell us where you're from and how you got started in the Digital Illustration scene? Leonardo: Hi, I’m Leonardo Dentico, an Italian 19 years old graphic designer and illustrator. I opened Photoshop for the first time about four years ago, it was just for fun, but I really got into it and I was amazed by its unlimited resources. My very first big step was joining SlashTHREE Art Collective in 2009. I had the chance to get in touch with many other great illustrators and I could also show my works to a new audience. Wallpaper Art: I’ve asked this in our first double interview with Mart and Yves (link), but I would like to quote something from the book, "The collaborative Habit" from Twyla Tharp again; "You need a challenging partner. In a good collaboration, differences between partners mean that one plus one will always equal more than two". Can you guys confirm this? Because your both quite different artists. Leonardo: Yes, Wojciech said it, our artwork’s title is the perfect answer to this question. If you look at our collaboration, you can’t actually distinguish my style or Wojciech’s one, or at least nobody who knows me or him could say “Hey, that’s a Leonardo/Wojciech’s artwork”. I find it hard to believe we made this. I can absolutely confirm that a collaboration will give the artwork something more, another artist can correct something that the original author didn’t notice, can give a personal touch and improve the whole thing. I also have to say I’ve been lucky to work with Wojciech, he’s a great person and surely knows how to make an ace illustration.
Wallpaper Art: Lovely to hear you found each other! The result is amazing! In this beautiful wallpaper you both produced, we find so many details. Can you explain us something more about the story or concept behind this work? Leonardo: To be honest we didn’t discuss too much about the story of the work, Wojciech advanced this concept, I was really interested by the way it was coming out and we inserted details that could remember the story of the girl, her past, her feelings etc… Anyway the focal point stays on the girl’s expression, it’s amazing. Wallpaper Art: You guys did a great job! Did you learned anything from each other during the process and would you recommend your other fella designers to collaborate more? Wojciech: It was absolutely great collaboration, we had a very light talk, no boundaries and a clear agreement on everything. He brought very nice ideas and depth to the concept, frankly speaking I’m glad we worked on that project together, I got a great new experience and learned some new stuff. There is nothing better than fresh, new perspective brought to the project. Working with Leo was a great pleasure, I’d definitely recommend him to anyone! Wallpaper Art: To date what would you say is your favorite artwork that you have created? And why?
Wallpaper Art: In terms of your designing career, where would you like to be in 5 years? Leonardo: Pretty hard question, I want to work with some agencies during my first period, in order to understand the way they work and to learn something by people who have more experience than me. Of course I’d like to improve my techniques learning some 3D, Flash, InDesign, Aftereffects and explore better Illustrator, since I worked with it less than a year. In 5 years I’d love to open my personal agency, or at least work as a freelancer with big clients.
Wallpaper Art: How did you learn everything you know? What do you advice beginning designers? Leonardo: I started practicing by myself, viewing tutorials and things like that. I followed some courses in the European Institute of Design in Rome, where I could learn some traditional techniques, logo studies and things more related to graphic design instead of illustration, but I can proudly say I learned by myself the most of things I can do. What can I say to beginning designers? Don’t want to seem too hard, but if you go around a city and you don’t stop watching an advertising poster to understand how it’s done, that’s not something for you, you have to live trough design, each thing which is part of your life must become visually nice, what if an illustrator’s life has a bad aspect? Thanks for your time guys and brilliant wallpaper! Download The Tertium Wallpaper:1024×768 / 1200×800 / 1200×960 / 1280×1024 / 1600×1200 / 1680×1050 / 1920×1200 / 2560×1440 / 2560×1600 |
