Update!

A few things I've done from this term that I should post up!

We had to design a creature and skeleton for a class project. I made sure to challenge myself by making something that wasn't supposed to be cute. Well...too cute; it's still a little cute.
 
The shoulder pads look like they don't belong because they don't; I didn't get to play around too much for this, but he tends to steal body parts from his enemies and use them as extra armor. :)





We had a project where we had to design a character using the style of Xmen Evolution, using only the model sheets the instructor provided. It was actually really fun to do, and I learned a lot from it!
 
Doing clean up with pencil again was odd, I'm so used to digital clean up now. But it was fun!



Life drawing assignment focusing on gestures. Most of these were 30 second to 1 minute long gestures, with about one 2 minute gesture- the one in the top left corner. It was challenging, but I definitely feel I improved in speed and accuracy with this assignment!
 


Drawing Jams!





My drawing jams for this term. I had to rush a bit of them, but they didn't turn out all too bad!

I tried a completely new brush when coloring the warrior lady; it's obvious I'm new to it, but it was fun to use, nonetheless!
The eyeball and lips were character design concepts for an actual production our class will be working on. None of them were picked, but it was kinda fun to try and come up with different looks for such simplistic characters!

Year One Stuff

I've managed to forget about this blog for the better part of half a year or so, ha ha. So I'll post some stuff I never got around to posting from first year!

LIFE DRAWING













I really enjoyed drawing fabric! And I feel like I really, really improved during this year for life drawing!

LAYOUT





I improved a lot for layout too! I learned a lot about staging and such. We also got to use flash, which is what I used to color the few with color; overall, it's a pretty fun program!

ILLUSTRATION





I wish we had gotten to do more illustrations for class, they really are fun to do!
First one was a clean-up assignment, in which we needed to try and ink a digital drawing like a comic. I'm going to work on improving at this sort of inking in my spare time, for sure!
The second one was another illustration for clean-up class; this time we had to mimic a style and color it, all while using a dynamic pose; I learned that Panty & Stocking's art style is fun to draw, ha ha!
And the final one was done purely in flash; we had to take a character and, well, clean and color an illustration of them using flash. I chose my superhero character, Irene, since she was one of the few characters I had a sketch of with me.
