Sketchdump 09.12.11

Alright, about time for some more sketchbook posts. Besides life drawing I haven't really been keeping up with my sketching until pretty recently. We haven't had class in a couple weeks and I've been wanting to do some drawing.

This first page is just a couple random drawings of sushi. I was kind of hungry for sushi at the time so I decided to draw it since I couldn't go get some to eat. My goal here was to both improve my line and to try and get a sense of texture and perspective with the rendering. Some is more successful than others. Not bad for my first sketches in a couple weeks.


From here I was trying to start to draw some more faces and heads since I never really do that anymore. It was too much of a challenge for me during life drawing to get the heads and faces up to the same level of the body. So here I tried to only draw heads. And not even realistically...I was going for more caricaturish or cartoonish drawings here. Some are decent, some are horrible but here ya go. They are all based on people in the LOTR extra features.


The next page is more of the same, except the sword obviously. The one at the top was too close to "real", the middle two are terrible, and the last three I can start to feel myself getting into a certain groove. More of a nailed down workflow. Still needs a lot of work, but I'm starting to feel more confident of myself. These are also based on people form the LOTR extra features.


The last page are a couple of sketches I did during today's episode of Breaking Bad. Unfortunately I probably missed out on a couple of things during the show, but on the bright side, I think the drawings are pretty decent looking. Again, trying to be more cartoonish/caricaturish and not realistic.

Walkcycle

Well before Lost, I completed my 2nd go at a basical walk cycle. It's missing some in-betweens but I just wanted to get those steps down first before I tried anything else. It's in the gallery. But here it is anyways. [caption id="attachment_56" align="aligncenter" width="500" caption="Walkcycle #2"] [/caption]  Based off the guide from the Animator's Survival Kit.

More Digital Paintings

I've started to get kind of into doing these digital drawings/paintings on the ipad now. The next ones have been quite a progression in workflow. The first one here was done all with my finger and in Sketchbook Express so there were a limited number of layers and types of brushes and settings I could use.It's actually still one of my favorites though. I like how the jeans look, and I felt like I really got a sense of the colors overall. There were still some things I wasn't happy with, but oh well. This next one was also done with my finger, but now in Sketchbook Pro. It's nicer because there are new tools and menus which help with workflow, as well as a bunch of new brushes and settings, so I got to experiment with some of those. I was developing my taste in brushes on this one. I also tried doing some less realistic skin tones but still trying to maintain the integrity of the shading. I've never tried it before, but I've listened to my life drawing teacher t...
