Artist of the Day: Will Kim

Will Kim is a Los Angeles based artist who creates “drawings and paintings in motion,” made primarily with oil pastels, watercolors and pencil on paper. For presentation on his blog, Will digitally processes the work and makes short animated GIF files.

The frenzied lines in Will’s work communicate energy and speed. The artist appears to be searching for the image to reveal itself as he works.

Will’s watercolor animated figures demonstrate a knowledge of classic animation principles: strong line of action, clear silhouettes, anticipation, among those principles.
