Pencil month, 3 and 4 of 31

 

Architectures!  The first one is a group of studies from Ling Xiang's artbook.  Amazing, talented guy.  The 2nd is my own attempt at doodling some buildings.

Today's pencils - studies of the human arm.

Pencil month, 1 of 31

I'm planning to seriously hit pencil drawing for a month.  The plan is to roll a D6 to decide my general subject-matter each morning and go from there.  Today's roll was "prop," and I figure it's time I learned to draw guns.  Some studies from this morning (from photos and Mass Effect art book,) and a couple of original, silly designs from tonight.

Studies and life drawings

Resuming updates

I have just started a 3D job, and I will hit drawing and painting hard in my spare time to remind myself of my goal of becoming a good artist - not just a good 3D artist, but good overall. I think some of the shape principles I've been struggling so much with may finally have begun to sink in. We'll see.

Random doodles done at sketch night, and a CG Hub drawing jam wip. Drawing jam title: Have Gun, Will Travel.

A Pause in Updates

Due to recent crunch time at work, this blog has not been recently updated. Apologies if you are looking at this curious about new art I have made. Please visit my "portfolio" or "sketchbook" if you'd like to check out what I've been up to. Sorry for the trouble and thanks :)

I will come back to this blog once life goes back to normal.

Storm

Kind of... I made up my own costume for her because I couldn't remember what she normally wears. It was a fun piece :)

Today has been great. I have moved closer to becoming a full-time concept artist, which is a major short-term goal of mine that I did not expect to achieve very quickly.

I've been doing a lot of exercises and tutorials lately, and I feel growth. It's very nice to feel hopeful.

The stork (Final, for real...)

Ok, I lied.. real final.

Life drawing in Austin (2009-06-22)

Been doing life drawing but never got around to take pictures. Took some pictures of today's life drawings.

And then there was the zombie slayer...

It's been almost five months since I started working, and going to work everyday still feels... fun. Now and then I bitch about some headache moments, crunch time, and stress. But overall, I still look forward to going to work each day.

I've been using my personal time painting for work, and also have been relaxing a little now and then. I'll have to remember to keep painting for fun though, otherwise I'll probably eventually forget what this is all about.

Did this painting relatively quickly, for character of the week on conceptart.org. The title is "Erica the zombie killer."

Doodles

Finished a couple of freelance projects, and I'm back to painting for fun in my new-found spare time :)

Been doing life drawing weekly, but I can't find the card reader for my digital camera, so no pictures :(

What better way to celebrate my Birthday than spending the night doing life drawing? :)
