Life Drawing

Today I focused on the skeletal structure of the model and how it 
it appears in perspective.
I feel like I need to work more on my fundamentals.
As some of the sketches look a bit out of shape.

Paint Over Techniques :D

Today we went over paint over techniques.
I found it pretty helpful as it also shows me the way of 
applying texture to objects and fixing their perspective. 
After applying the textures to a hard surface object we went to applying 
textures to an organic object; a vampire.
I think the paint over that I applied didn't deviate to much from the 
original model, and it added some interesting elements to the design of the vampire

Lava Monster. Follow Up

For this week we were assigned to do a Lava monster of our own
rather than painting over an existing one. I didn't want to be influenced by 
any concept art I decided to not have any research before hand.
I went straight in to the design of my lava monster. 
After I had my 3 designs sketched out I started to look at the colour
schemes I could use for my Monster.
I picked few different ones from the texture of rocks.
I would think that lava monster would be made out of mostly rocks.
That is why I focused on a rocky design.
I then applied the different colour schemes to the 3 designs I had.
I finalized my design by adding lava effect to my Rock Monster.
To turn him in to legit Lava Monster.
The Idea behind him is that his a fire spirit that has lost his
physical form and was forced to create a body out of rock to remain
an existence in the human world.

Design:
The monster joints between floating parts of the body could be better represented.
I could also use some texture to make the monster more realistic looking, as it look a
bit cartoon like.

Lava ! Paint Over ;D


Today in class we learned ho to create lava effect in Photoshop
I think I went a bit over board on the lava monster but it came out
looking pretty well. It might be not clear enough as a concept.

Life Drawing

IN this session I concentrated to much on the techniques rather
than on the posses of the model, which led me away from maintaining
proportions in the drawing.

Pixel Art

Yay Pixel art.

I find pixel art to be easy to create, but its a laborious task.
Pixel art in "" perspective is allot of repetition of the same lines
which I find really repetitive. 
I much rather do pixel art in flat view rather than in perspective 
as all that matters is the creative side as there are not that many
technical elements.

Life Drawing ! Markers

I used markers for this session of life drawing which forced me to 
think before making marks on the paper, as there was no way of 
erasing mistakes or starting with light shade.

I found this task not that hard to do, as I use mainly pens when I draw 
in my sketchbook. The Difference being on bigger piece of paper I can 
include more details; I find my self drawing really small in my 
sketch book.
