I am very happy to be in the Autumn Issue of Never Lazy Magazine. If you want to check how the whole interview looks please check it out ant tell me what you think :)
In
three words, who is Magdalena Wolan?
I
would like to be the thing your eye stops for a sec at, when you look
at it.
How
formal is your training as a creative individual?
Although
I did have some formal training at the University I think that the
real education in arts cams from within.
How
would you describe your work? How would you say it has evolved?
My
drawings are like a diary, which illustrates
what is "bothering"
me
at the moment.
When I look at them I see how much I developed and matured since I
chose that
I wanted to share my works with others.
What
feelings or emotions do you hope to convey through your work?
The
main features which I like to deal with is the mental state of my
figures. Maybe
you
can't see this in every work but I try to put as much psychology as I
can behind
my characters.
I do my best to instill life within my characters eyes.
The
story,
which is hidden inside them is most exciting.
Tell
us a bit about your work process.
Each
of us likes to work in
a different way.
I am the most
efficient
when I am drinking
the
morning coffee.
Ideas
come quickly
then. If I don't have
an
earlier planned
topic, I try looking
for an
inspirations.
The Internet is full of amazing people and events that drive the
action! And then it's just
down the hill with
a sketchbook and
a tablet.
How
would you define your ideal workspace?
The perfect workplace is such where it's clean, everything is in place and cups
of coffee wash themselves after drinking ;)
How
much do you value social networking? How does it contribute to the
way you grow as an illustrator?
The
Internet is an invaluable help to an
illustrator, who
like me, is looking for inspiration. If one
wants
to know the opinions about
his work and wants to make
interesting friendship.
I have
met
many wonderful artists and we
keep in touch and share our works and the opinions about them.
What
artistic achievement(s) are you most proud of?
I
am particularly proud of the work, it
made me deal with a problem. It always makes me feel great and relief when I
manage to solve it.
A
word of wisdom to share with us and budding illustrators?
Do
what you enjoy,
respect
yourself
and all,
even unflattering opinion about your work. After
all
the constructive makes
you grow in the future.
Kisses,
Leni
love it:) all of them!
