Style Study 01

Trying to learn to draw better.

Dude portrait study, and doodle

Saw a masterfully painted portrait today and really liked its style, so I decided to do a photo study while attempting to mimic said style.  Result... is weird :P  I will keep trying though.

Also need to paint more men.  I paint way too many girls.

Bonus random doodle from class.  I name it "the Dragon House".  Might color it.

Meet Marra, plus some studies

 Finally got around to doing another character sheet.  Meet Marra, the confident rune-warrior with a stubborn streak.  She has the face of an angel but fights like a demon in bloodlust.

Some studies from photo.  Trying to focus on structures, as well as trying to add some of my own idealism into these figures.

Lunch study

As I was getting started on this, a non-dev non-artist tour group walked by my desk.  I had fun imagining what must have been going through their mind when they saw the ref photo of half-naked dude on my screen.

Big Game Hunter (linework)

+1 to my robotics study:

Elf vs Orc

Very random lunch sketch.

Plus a couple of gundam sketches, copied from pictures I found online.

Must restart filling sketch books.

Study

Did a lot of eyeballing this time.  Maybe by tomorrow morning I'll begin to see all the problem areas...

Study

Study from photo. There are very obvious vanishing points in this photo.  More interestingly, the middle row of buildings are obviously not parallel with the rest of the set-up.

Just saw off my friend who'd been staying with me since Diablo 3 launch.  Had a great time catching up with her.  I also have a lot of pent-up energy to draw now that I haven't been drawing in my own time for almost 3 weeks!  So back to the daily studies I go.

Fiddler

Had a great time at Renaissance Faire yesterday. We saw many wonderful performances, but there was a band called Circa Paleo that really stood out. Their music was of professional quality, and the lead fiddler of the band had an inspiring amount of positive energy. I'll always remember her, who puts full effort into her work and enjoys it whole-heartedly.
