请问是如何走上插画师这一条道路的?和读者朋友们分享一下您的美术及从业经历吧。
Ngan Pham:Hello every one, I’m Ngan Pham (a.k.a Zevania) I’ve been drawing since I was a kid, but not until I’m 18 years old that I truly found myself really wanted to work in the art industry.
Hello,大家好,我是Ngan Pham(又名Zevania)。我自从小时候就开始画画了,但是直到我18岁时才真正意识到我想要在艺术领域工作。
I started out doing commissions on Deviantart and eventually found a job near my place working as a concept artist for a game. Since then, I’ve been working as a concept artist/ illustrator until now.
我最开始是在Deviantart上接一些稿,后面在离我住的比较近的地方找到了一份工作,是为一款游戏做概念设计,从那时起,我开始从事概念设计师/插画家工作,一直到现在。
My jobs mostly consist of doing character design, color key, environment concepts for games, animation and sometimes book. Right now, I’m working as an art director for an indie game company.
我的工作主要包括为游戏、动画、有时也为书做一些角色设计、调色、环境概念设计。现在,我在一家独立游戏公司担任艺术总监。

这次参加A站挑战赛的作品是想表达一个怎样的故事呢?其创作想法/灵感是怎样的呢?
Ngan Pham:About my Artstation challenge entry, at first, I wanted to make an epic dragon idea. But during the brainstorming process, I gradually moved toward the idea of something lighter in tone and has a more relaxing feeling to it. Because I realized that most of the times, dragons have been portrayed as very aggressive creatures, I wanted to try something a bit different.
关于这次参加A站“龙之崛起:被遗忘的国度”挑战赛,最开始,我想做个具有史诗感的龙。但在头脑风暴的过程中,我逐渐希望作品整体能有更加明亮的色调,给人一种放松舒适之感。

了解到你参加过4次A站的挑战赛,参加众多个挑战赛,您认为您最大的收获是什么呢?
Ngan Pham:I think what I gained the most from the challenge was the motivation to draw and learn more. The reason is there are so many great entries from everyone! I also found myself being more disciplined since the deadline is really tight when I participated. And last but not least, I’m happy and proud that my personal artstyle has been developed more after this challenge.
我认为我从众多挑战赛中收获最大的就是继续绘画以及不断学习的动力。因为每个人都有很多很棒的作品!我也发现参加比赛过程中自己会更加自律,毕竟截止日期真的很紧。最后呢,在这次挑战赛之后,我个人的艺术风格得到了更多的发展,这也让我很高兴和自豪。

您的作品经常给人一种温暖放松之感,这样的画风是受到了什么影响呢?
Ngan Pham:I’m always so happy when receiving compliments about the warmth feeling from my artworks. That is the kind of mood that I want to spread as far as possible to brighten up the day of some random stranger on the other side of the screen. My biggest inspirations are relaxing slice of life anime, namely‘Aria’, ‘Yokohama Kaidashi Kikou’. And the masterpieces from Ghibli studio.
每当有人夸我说我的作品中有一种温暖之感的时候我都会很开心。这就是我想尽可能传播的情绪,以照亮屏幕另一边某个陌生人的一天。我最大的灵感来自放松的生活向动漫,比如《水星领航员》(Aria)《横滨购物纪行》以及吉卜力工作室的一些佳作。

有刻意去训练过自己这样的画风风格吗?
Ngan Pham:I think I had no intention earlier in my career that I would go for this direction. But as time goes on and I grow older, I appreciate the small positive things around me more and I want to share that feeling through my art.
我想我在早期的绘画生涯中并没有刻意朝这个方向走,但随着时间流逝,我也慢慢长大,我更加会喜爱与欣赏身边一些小的、有积极能量的东西,我也想要通过我的艺术来传递那种向上之感。

对于你来说,一个作品中最重要的部分是什么呢?
Ngan Pham:For me, the most important part of an artwork is the storytelling element. In my opinion, everyone with enough time and discipline, can study and become great at the craft. So what distinct each person’s art from one another is the thing that they want to say. And I also believe that each person has a unique view of life and their own personal voice that only them can tell.
对于我来说,一个作品中最重要的部分是叙事性。我认为,每个人只要有着足够的自律同时投入足够多的时间,就能学习绘画这门技术,并成为行业的佼佼者,那么区分每个人的艺术风格与他人的不同之处就在于他们想要表达的东西。同时我也认为每一个人对生活都有着他独特的视角,独属于他们的声音,只有他们自己才能讲述。

您画作中的核心元素是什么?
Ngan Pham:Fundamental wise, my personal preference when creating a piece are composition and color/lighting. Those are the things that I think help me a lot in creating my vision for the art work.
从根本上说,我个人在创作作品时比较偏重的是构图和上色/打光。这些也是我认为在创作独属于我自己的艺术作品时,能帮助很大的方面。

曾经历过创作瓶颈期吗?是如何克服的呢?能以具体事例来聊聊吗?
Ngan Pham:Oh yes, I have experienced creative bottlenecks before, a lot actually. Usually, when I meet a roadblock like that, I’d turn to some online classes or video tutorials to learn and hone my craft. Some other time, I’d take out my idea notebook and pick a random idea from there to execute.
噢当然,我过去曾碰到过创作瓶颈期,事实上,碰到过很多次。通常当我碰到了瓶颈,我会去看一些线上课程或是教学视频来学习、磨炼我的画技。有时候,我会拿出我的想法笔记本,从那里随机选择一个想画的来画。
If I’m not in the mood to create new things, then I’d simply turn off my brain and do the brainless study painting, where I would just copy/study a master’s work for myself to see and boost my confidence.
如果我没有心情画些新的东西,我就会让我的大脑“关机”,研究学习/临摹一些大佬的画作,这样不会太费脑,也会增强我的信心。
And finally, if all of the above don’t work, I’d take a rest, do some chores, workout, go out to see nature or take a long nap. Having a rest and enjoying life is important too!
最后,如果我上面说的那些方式都起不到作用,我就会休息会,做些杂活,或是锻炼,出门看看大自然或者是美美睡一觉。适当休息并且享受生活也是很重要的!

您认为作为一个绘画创作者,应具备的最重要的品质/能力是什么?
Ngan Pham:For me, the most important ability to possess as an illustrator/concept artist is curiosity. We should be curious about things around us like when we were a kid, we would have a lot of questions to ask about how things work and why they are like that.
对于我来说,作为一个插画家/概念画师,应具备的最重要的能力是好奇心。我们应该像孩童时期般那样对身边的一切都感到好奇。我们会有源源不断的问题,“事物是怎么运作的?”“为什么他们会是那样”。
The reason is that, as we work in the creative industry, we need to be always finding new ideas and new angle to tackle old concepts. With curiosity in mind we can do a lot of things at any skill levels.
保持好奇的原因就是,因为我们是在一个需要创造力的行业工作,我们需要时刻发现新的想法、新的角度来处理过往一些“旧”的概念设计。心中保持好奇,我们可以在任何技能领域学到很多。

了解到您很多知识都是通过自学或者身边的一些艺术家朋友,自学路上踩过哪些坑呢?对于专业技能的提升上您是怎么做的?
Ngan Pham:When studying on my own in the beginning days, one of the dangerous pitfalls that I encountered was practicing the wrong thing repeatedly. It makes those mistakes hard to fix later on, and to be honest, some of it stick with me even until now and became something like a style (I don’t recommend doing that on purpose though)
在刚开始自学的时候,踩过的其中最大的坑就是一直在重复练习错误的东西。这也导致在后期练习时那些犯的错很难再改正过来。老实说,某些不好的习惯和问题,我现在都还存在,然后就变成了我的某种风格..(但我不建议故意这样做)
My advice for this situation is if possible, we should gather a group of artist friends to practice with each other. It’s definitely fun and our friends can also help us spot out if something were off in our drawing or painting.
对于这种情况我的建议是,如果可以,我们可以叫几个绘画的朋友们互相练习,那会很有意思,并且我们的朋友也能帮我们指出在绘画中是否有些画得不对的地方。
Another way is to learn how things really work and not just base on our previous knowledge or shortcuts only. For me personally, I find myself improve a lot each time I do a project for myself. It can be something like Artstation challenge or a small fanart piece of a book I enjoy.
另一种方法就是真正自己亲身去体会事情是如何运作发展的,而不仅仅是基于我们以前的知识或是过往走过的捷径。就我而言,每次我做了些自己的项目时,我都会发现自己进步了很多。自己的项目可以是像参加A站挑战赛一般,也可以是我喜欢的某本书中的一部分同人作品。

你曾创作了一个OC Nola(一个爱阅读的女孩),是在什么样的情况下创作出来的呢?说说创作这个人物的初衷与故事吧。
Ngan Pham:Oh Nola the book lover! I’ve created her since 2017, the first drawing of her was only for my brush testing purpose. Then I found that drawing again in 2021 and fell in love with the design again.
噢~Nola,那个热爱阅读的女孩!我在2017年创造了这个角色,最开始画她只不过是想测试下我的笔刷,后来我在2021年再次找到了那幅画,并再次爱上了这个设计。
I also find people who are into reading really interesting so redrew her being more into books with my new artstyle and then it becomes a full on illustration of her due to the love she received from my social media. I do plan to draw her more in the future too.
我也发现那些喜欢阅读的人很是有意思,所以我也用不同的艺术风格绘制了很多关于Nola的书,后来社交媒体上,她也得到了越来越多人的喜爱,所以逐渐成为了一个完整的Nola人物。我确实也打算在之后画更多关于她的作品。

私底下你是个什么样的人呢?有什么兴趣爱好?
Ngan Pham:In private I’m kind of boring haha. I spend most of my time indoor and read manga, novels or play video games. Also I recently started learning piano just for fun. I find it really relaxing.
私下里我有些无聊哈哈哈~我大多数时间都待在家,看漫画、小说,或是打游戏。我最近也开始学钢琴,不过也只是为了娱乐。我发现弹钢琴真的很让人放松。

给那些在中国的粉丝朋友们说两句吧。
Ngan Pham:I’m so honored that my art finds its way to the viewer in China. I really appreciate the love and support! I wish you all a very happy time drawing. But also have some rest when needed so that we can all be healthy and keep on creating for a really long time! Thank you.
我真的感到很荣幸我的艺术作品能在中国也得到欣赏和喜爱。真心很感谢这些喜爱和支持!我希望你们都能画得开心,在适当的时候浅休息一会会,保持健康,保持创作!再次感谢!
