That feeling....

The realization that you've just messed up/misunderstood several assignments due the following week...

I HAVE IT

Hurray!
I finished my Title Page for Digital class!
Since we were talking about the gradient tool a lot and whatnot in class, I decided to shade my image using a gradient style.
This took about 5h 40m to finish and I'm pretty happy with the result :)

This cutesy little fella is my character for my Character class.
I currently don't have a name yet for him but expect to see more of him soon!

Life Drawing Class 1

Here are some of my favourite life drawings I did in class last week!
I felt so rusty seeing as I haven't life drawn all summer...
Hopefully next class will be better.

Gauche Testing

I haven't used gauche in such a long time ahaha!
Here's to getting used to it again :)
Please note those ugly streaks down the middle of the gradient bars are not actually there... those are shadows from the paper's ripples.

Black.White

I took a thumbnail from my sketchbook and applied a photoshop layer to it...
Nothing big but I thought it looked cool.

Layout Thumbnails

For our painting class we had to come up with 12 layout thumbnails.
Out of the 12 thumbnails, one will be selected and then painted in various ways.

Quick Perspective Warm Ups

Here are a few quick images I did as perspective warm ups.
I am still learning and trying to grasp as much of this concept as I can before I have to apply it to my school work.
By referencing a few Tekkon Kinkreet scenes, I was able to get an understanding as to how some of the backgrounds were done.
Over the next little bit I am going to be producing my own perspective works...
Practice practice practice ahah!

Summer 2011 Sketch Book Dump

Hello everyone!
I'm finally posting some of my sketches from the summer! Woot!
There were many drawings I could pick and chose from, but I decided to show you guys my personal favourites.
I apologize for the faintness of some of the images...
A few of these sketches were only quickly jotted down and left as is.
