Practice practice practice

Here are more gesture drawings that I did at the park. Like usual, these were all mostly done in less than 10 seconds. Cept for the Tree.

Enjoy.

The anatomy of a faerie

For my anatomy class I had to do an anatomy project! I got to sorta freestyle it... So I decided I would do an Xray of a faerie! This old painting I started a while ago, remember it? Yup! Well I finished painting the figure! Then I took it in photoshop and on a new layer sketched and painted the bones. I truly feel that this was an enlightening experience for me as an artist, and I have learned a lot from it in terms of how anatomy affects form and gesture.

Maya Project 2

For my Intro to 3D modeling class, We had an assignment to model a face in low polys Well, after a while of work here it is. I used photo reference for the faces. Didn't feel like posting it though... It was of a female model. Her name was Claire.

Yup.. It's okay for my first low poly, and the topology I guess is good for a beginner like me. But honestly, I have a long way to go. And frankly... I could have edited this thing further, but I just couldn't stomach that piece of crap Maya for any longer.

I feel like actually doing meaningful artwork now. Artwork that goes beyond talentless clicking of a mouse.

A good day

Today I did gestures of a nude female model. This week my gestures I feel improved a bit! I really combined different elements of different techniques and did my best to pull everything I know together. I really feel like on page 2 that my gestures really came together.

Gesturing can be great fun when the artist can really feel and understand the forms and volumes of the human body. It is like rhythm.

Miku progress

As promised, I am doing more illustrations lately. So I figured I would update everyone on my progress in my interpretation of the popular Japanese Idol "Hatsune Miku".

Started with a simple 5 minute gesture, just as we have seen posted frequently here! Then gradually I sculpted in some detail...

Not finished yet! Still gotta digitally paint her. And when I say digitally paint, I mean, digitally paint. No cell shading here. I am gonna try for full gradients!

Hope you enjoy my progress!

Practice at the park

Good, bad, ugly, its all here on my sketchpad. When things at home get rough, it's great to go to the park and ease your troubles with some gesture drawings!

All of these were done in less than thirty seconds. In all honesty, they were of people running the track, so most of it was done in just a few seconds. Roughly 5 or so. Obviously made for complete practice and not beauty.

I got bored of the BORING people at the park with their repetitive boring poses today... so this tree proved to be more interesting than any of the lowly humans could ever prove to be.

The tree was drawn in 5 minutes. Gestured roughly of course, done mostly without looking at the paper.

More Subway gestures

Here are more gesture drawings! All done on the subway in ranging from 30 seconds to a minute each. Simple quick gestures made for practice, not for beauty.

Enjoy~ also watch for some new illustrations! I am actually gonna start filling my gallery with STUFF! YEAH! ^^
