sketch dump

and a bunch of other practice doodles not worth posting.

100 hands

Because they're hard. I tried the focus study. The more I draw them, the more I feel I need to do more. But it's time to get back to color study.

Tiny Study

I'm trying to learn color and composition by doing these tiny studies (http://www.ctrlpaint.com/the-tiny-study/). I'm going to do more of these for a few days more to cut down the time spending on each one and loosen up.

I haven't done the Daily Sketch Challenge for a while. All the Halloween themes are not helping my recent nightmares. I like her character design though so I decided to try. I took an hour instead of 30 mins again, enjoyed it too much.

Little monster

I call him Itsey.

It's nice to just draw something fun. I had this image of a happy little green monster with orange turf of hair and orange scarf sitting on a tree, so I tried to draw it out. Not quite the design in my head but I'm happy with his happy face.

Landscape painting - week 1

Homework week 1. Using oil paint, getting my feet wet, and paint mess everywhere @____@.

That was fun. Now I'm facing the dilemma of how to carry all the stuff to the site tomorrow, and transporting the finished, still wet, oil, paintings...

More portrait

Finally finished this one for another friend.

I just finished reading the book Acting for Animators by Ed Hooks. An excellent book dealing with behavioral psychology. I highly recommend all animators to pick up a copy. It also explains why rotoscoping animation's acting doesn't match with the voice acting in many 3D movies (*cough* Resident Evil Damnation).

Birthday portrait

A belated birthday gift for a dear friend.

I owe many portraits to my friends, and more just keep asking me @___@ I must stop taking requests.

Quick sketches

Practicing using pixelovely again. 30 seconds gestures and 2 minutes animal sketches. Quicker gestures forced me to eliminate more details now.

Daily Sketch Challenge - Invisible Woman

Gnomon's Sketch Theater - September

My third sketch theater. I think these are getting a little bit better.

I made a new friend, Mez, he's an awesome cartoonist, and he gave me some great tips on establishing the poses. Check out his blog at http://meztoons.blogspot.com/

Portrait for a friend

I wanted to practice the more painterly, loose brushstrokes style, but it turned into heavy airbrushing to get the likeness. Well I hope she likes it.

Value study

My classmate from Vis Com 1, Tyler, inspired me to do a head study. He's awesome so check out his page  http://tcloreart.blogspot.com/

4 hours and 2 hours, yay progress :D. I'll tackle the hair next time.

2 minutes poses

Practiced using pixelovely's wonderful reference tool. 

Am I getting slower? O_O;;

Sketch dump

Batman shouldn't have this much power.

Merida studies, and Megaman.

old daily sketch challenge - SpiderHam.

Fun and Challenge

 Remember to have fun.

Daily Sketch Challenge on DeviantArt - Invincible

My warm up sketch for today. I was going to draw a fairy, then it turned into a superdog, and then this. Because corgis are so adorable to look at.

First two attempts at drawing this corgi didn't capture any of the corginess, so just keep drawing it again and again till you like it :D.

Gnomon's Sketch Theater - Clash of the Titans

Another late night drawing workshop with the Gallery Girls.
My new friend there is a huge cat lover. He asked me to turn them into cats.

Daily Sketch Challenge - Bizarro

My take on Bizarro.
Bizarro I know was the one from Warner Bro's Superman: The Animated Series, so this one bears all his character. The shape came to my mind when I was in the shower; great place to think, not much are remembered after I'm done.

Daily Sketch - Batgirl

A daily sketch challenge on dA. The goal is to spend no more than 30 minutes for a warm up sketch. I think I spent more than that :(

Mermaid

warm-up sketch

Week 6 of Class - Military Vehicles

Finally the tanks start to look like tanks. I'm so intimidated by these mechanical stuff.

Made a new friend :)

Dynamic Sketching class

It's already week 4 of class. Peter is an amazing teacher. A lot of homework, but I so look forward to the weekend to draw among other learning artists. Gotta grow!
