Artists reunited We reflect on a fantastic day meeting our incredible digital art community and learning from so many talented speakers
The best of Vertex

We had a blast at Vertex 2024, our live digital art event held at London's Business Design Centre, organised alongside our friends from 3D World and Creative Bloq.

It was wonderful to absorb the artistic goodness, speaking to a roster of talented speakers, going hands-on with new and exciting products from leading exhibitors like Wacom and Xencelabs, and checking out all the imaginative and hilarious sketch wall designs crafted by attendees. We hope you had a great time too if you spent the day with us!

The event ran smoothly with a wide variety of talks held across the three stages, plus live demonstrations from the best in the business and life drawing sessions offering inspiration for visitors to draw from. Did we also mention the countless fabulous freebies handed out and the amazing coffee we had brewed up?

TAKING TO THE STAGE

Among the speakers were illustrator and character designer Pernille Ørum, who shared her career highlights and demoed her process, Brynn Metheney talking about the approach she takes to creature designs for movies, and twins Raide and Leffie discussing how collaboration can affect workflows.
