Blog-a-day: DAY 9

Only a quickie.

More of a experimental thing...

None of these are finished (or going to be) but it's nice to keep all experiments. I'm getting a bit braver on the computer now!

Blog-a-day: DAY 8 pt.1

Okay, quickie.
I did this last night/this morning but was too tired to put it up...

Working on something now so I'll see you guys later!

Blog-a-day: DAY 6 and 7

Right, back to my normal self today, feeling a lot better. But after being not very well I had to get my ideas back together so here's what I've got to show.
Trees, trees and a few trees.

[Favourite 1]

[Favourite 2 and mum's favourite]

[Favourite favourite!]

Oh, and not forgetting this little fella! It was a play doh experiment for modelling. Of course it didn't work but it shows me what i'm capable of with basic and amateur materials.

FYI- It shouldn't look like a face but it really does! 

Blog-a-day: DAY 5

Been quite ill today, so no new work has been produced, just lots of reference research.

Hopefully they'll be more productive work posted up tomorrow. Got a nice list of jobs to sort.

Blog-a-day: DAY 3 and 4

Ok, so yesterday I was a bit busy having social time
But before that I tried to draw in the rain...clever, i know!
So here's the meagre bit from yesterday...

And here's a little dribble from today...

I'll work a bit more into my first character then I'll start making something out of these. But there is more quick sketches of forests and trees to come.

Blog-a-day: DAY 2 pt.2

Well, he isn't finish but for now he's complete to me :)
Here's Terrance, in all his near complete glory (and pelvis that's too big for him! Maybe he could have been a woman in his living life... with 'good' child-baring hips)

That child-baring hips have given me an idea for a little sketch, i'll work on it...

Something different in the pipeline for tomorrow's blog, LANDSCAPES (ooooo)

Blog-a-day: DAY 2 pt.1

Today I would have just posted the finished outcome of Terrance. But I went on auto-piolet when I woke up and played around on fireworks...
This is what happened and it's given me so many ideas now

Expect another post later today :)

Blog-a-day: DAY 1

Right, so it's not finished but i'm not failing on my blog-a-day task

Today is all about proportion, something which I was TERRIBLE at.
So, i'm teaching myself thanks to an invaluable anatomy book

This is Terrance (I've decided) and everything that I learn while drawing Terrance shall be reflected through everything else to do with bodies. So I hope he feels special :)

FYI- Couldn't use scanner for him because he's smack bang in the middle of an A3 page.

He'll be finished by tomorrow.

Backlog Resolved!

So yeah, it's been ages since I've put anything up.
I had a break after handing in all my work from the first term.
So although I feel it isn't a lot, this is what I've been up to since.

Inspired by a poem I read. She's supposed to be a 'young queen'.

And then I played about with my new toy... CS5!!

And some more playing about...

Used as a 4am brainstorm for the final task of my Bridge of Bones project. However I'm going to make this into it's own story...

A little character design experimenting with a new style

Forest Floozy- Authorship experiment

Initial thought pages...

A few technique sketches and looking at noses.

(top centre sketch is an idea I may work with for a new character)

My first prototype of my authorship main character (tadaa!!)

From this I can break down every little detail to make the perfect character.

FOR NOW...I'm back to textbook research :(

But i'm having the next 2 weeks solid work so i'm setting a task of a blog-a-day.

FYI, last picture was scanned in on my new scanner. WOOOO!

This means better quality pictures people :)
