Just one artist commences a drawing and the other finishes it
Collaborating can be great enjoyment, so you want to consider something, but you want to retain it actually easy to examination the drinking water, you produce a drawing (or part of a drawing) and then send out it to the man or woman you have chosen to collaborate with… and then that man or woman could compete the drawing, or insert their have ingredient to it.
Or greater still you could the two build a drawing and then swap!
And this reminds me of that video game we applied to play as young ones, called ‘Hats.’ And what you would do, is draw a hat at the major of a piece of paper, then fold it down so the other particular person could not see it, then they would draw the head, fold it down and hand it back again. And you’d hold doing it until you attained the feet. Then at the conclude, you would open up the paper and reveal the odd human being you’d both equally developed.
A sketchbook relay
A different seriously neat plan would be to get with each other with a team of good friends and do a sketchbook relay. So, you would sketch the initial web site, then mail the book to the future man or woman and they would fill the next website page and so on. Eventually, the full e book would be one particular major collaboration!
We’ve assumed about performing this for Kick in the Creatives, but the logistics could be a little bit tough mainly because we are all more than the environment! But it could be seriously great to do something like that.
Edit two items of artwork alongside one another digitally
You could both of those make anything by hand and then edit it with each other digitally with a image enhancing application like Photoshop.
One particular way of executing this is to each begin with the similar reference picture. Do your individual interpretation and then see if you can mix the two alongside one another digitally. Or one particular of you could get started so the other can see what they have to operate with.
We did think that we could potentially do a collab like this. Maybe Tara could attract a deal with and then Sandra could draw a piece of fruit or a hand holding a glass and then we see if we could minimize them alongside one another digitally
Numerous artists attract on an on the web drawing board
There are online drawing boards the place you can get with each other with online good friends and all attract on the identical board. Tara the moment did this at an on the web function and the success have been extremely cool.
A second artists works above the major of your art digitally
Yet another way to collaborate is for one of you could generate a piece of art and then the other particular person performs around the leading digitally. That’s the way I have worked with the collaborations I have completed. For the reason that the other artists function digitally, I started and then scanned in my piece and then they worked about he major.
Build every single other an artwork box job
Another way you could collaborate is by sending each and every other a package of art supplies that the other human being has to generate a thing with. This could be the supplies that you like to use that may possibly push the other man or woman out of their ease and comfort zone.
Sandra and Tara did this by sending just about every other art components of an agreed worth.
Art postcard swap
So, on our Fb team, we organise a postcard swap at the beginning of just about every month. So, any individual who wishes to do it, places their title down and then we randomly choose pairs. Then individuals two people have to build a postcard and send it to the other person by the stop of the thirty day period. So it not strictly a collab, but it’s a wonderful way of sharing artwork and so nice to obtain anything unique in the submit, which is not a monthly bill or a piece of junk mail!
Guide of artwork or selection of postcards
You could appear jointly as a team and create a ebook of artwork or assortment of postcards – as well as staying a nice piece it could support cross promote you. This would work perfectly if you ended up likely to go to an occasion exactly where you could hand them out
Collaborate on artwork troubles you established yourselves
You could collaborate by environment every single other art difficulties. This is how we begun performing with each other and what received me drawing all over again. You can pick out a problem that fits you both of those even if you technique it unique ways.
Operating with a mate aids keep you accountable
Do an present artwork problem with each other
You could do the similar organised artwork challenge with a mate. That way you can cheer just about every other on and review notes!
Joint art exhibition or event
A different way of collaborating is to do a joint exhibition or function. Sandra did a joint exhibition a couple of many years in the past, with her close friend Kerry, who’s also an artist and it genuinely does make it much less nerve-wracking, simply because you have just about every other there for ethical assist. Also, you have an individual else to help with all of the organising, which can be pretty a headache on your personal.
Tara has organised a collaboration celebration for NFTS. It delivers jointly 30 artists to do 30 collaborations in 30 days. We have to warn you though this is quite an enterprise to bring 30 people collectively, Tara was emotion pretty pressured at moments. So you could want to get started compact and then make up to bigger collaborations
Collaborate on instructing artwork
You could collaborate on training artwork. Is there something that you and a friend would love to teach. Why not train it collectively and convey two views to the desk
Collaborate on artwork in unique types
And as we know, artwork will come in heaps of various varieties. It doesn’t have to be all about visible art. You can collaborate on a piece of music, a poem, or perhaps a story, like Tara and I did.
Or possibly a person can create the e-book and the other could illustrate. Just never ask me to illustrate it otherwise you will nonetheless be ready 3 yrs later!
In fact it could be any type of resourceful endeavour blended alongside one another. I have not long ago observed some digital artists collaborating with musicians to produce animated artwork with new music
Factors to take into consideration when collaborating
A person last matter and it’s an vital thing to consider… If you are thinking of embarking on a major collab, then make guaranteed you are self-assured that you are a fantastic match. Remember, you will both equally have to have to be reputable and on the similar webpage, if not you could obtain that you are going to both allow down the other man or woman or they will enable you down.
