We talk to boutique studio SIXMOREVODKA, whose Berlin-based artists like to work and play hard. Meanwhile, children’s author and illustrator Shaun Tan takes us through his career to date, revealing some of his weird and wonderful artwork along the way. Howard Lyon shows off his lovely workspace and the custom-built easel that enables him to work on up to 16 canvases at a time. In our workshop section Ricardo Guimaraes explains how to successfully achieve contrast with colour, Gavin O’Donnell learns from the Old Masters as he paints a piece in Procreate, and Baj Singh turns a piece of concept art into a game-ready 3D asset.
