Draftsmen | Taking Risks to Get Your Dream Job (ft. Marvel Artist Anthony Francisco) - Draftsmen S2E19 @Draftsmen | Uploaded August 2020 | Updated October 2024, 5 hours ago.
Senior Visual Development Artist Anthony Francisco joins us to talk about creature design and how he went from a minimum wage job to his dream career as an artist! Anthony has worked on some of the biggest movies in the Marvel movie universe. He designed Baby Groot, costumes for Black Panther and many more. You’ll hear how Anthony’s fake portfolio and his sketchbook landed him his first few jobs, how his life in the Philippines influenced the direction of his art, and the advice he’d give to artists who want to pursue the kind of career he’s had as a concept designer for blockbuster films.
