Danilo Gato is a vector artist who was born in Brazil and is currently still a student in art. He creates vector and does pencil drawings as well. The main focus of his artwork is celebrities and movie characters. He uses Adobe Illustrator to create his images, and below are some examples of his work:
He creates his art on Adobe Illustrator by first bringing in a photograph of what he is going to create. He uses vectors to isolate sections of the image, and colors each one in separately. This is like what we learned to do in class, and it was neat to know that I used the same methods as a more advanced and experienced artist! Something that is common in his works is that the background is always left up to the imagination. He creates a simple graphic pattern to place behind the person in the foreground.
I think that he is quite a talented vector artist. His style is realistic and strikingly accurate. I like how relatable his work is to the work we are currently doing in class. It gives a good representation of one of the many styles to use when it comes to making vector art. This is just personal opinion, but I think that his art might be more interesting if he gave his pieces a more detailed background that presented a sense of space or another form of interest. What he uses as a background, though it does leave something up to one's imagination, is almost too ambiguous. But overall, he is talented and does a great job with his celebrity and character portraits.
