And finally pictures!

 Ok, these are some silhouettes that I have done over the last couple of weeks (some more detailed than others) including some mecha-design and some instant recognition silhouettes (like the smoking/ sheriff dude up the top).

This is all the sort of stuff that I have been learning at the concept art workshop on Wednesday nights, and now I have a large enough collection to put up on here. And I stuck the three concepts of the girl in again because I felt like it fit in with everything else (as I did this on the course as well!). Huzah!

If you click on the picture you should be able to make it the actual size which is quite a bit larger. So do that if you're craving more details!

And these are my perspective drawings. I've really been trying to practice this skill a lot because I'm not especially good at it, so it has been challenging, but a whole heap of fun (especially when the picture actually turns out how you were expecting/ wanting!).

So I've got to keep practicing and trucking on with all my drawings. I also have a bunch of hand drawings that I will scan in sometime and stick up on here as well.

Ok! That's all for now! Thanks for stopping by :)

Sickness :(

Sorry for the lack of updates over the last couple of weeks, I've been really sick recently so I haven't much felt like doing drawings or anything other than sleeping really.

But I'm feeling a lot better now, so hopefully I can get some nice pictures up here soon, maybe a sketch dump or something because that's always a tonne more fun than what ever I actually have to say!

Female Concepts

Every Wednesday after class I've been going to these awesome Photoshop courses run by two different awesome concept artists. It does make a rather long day (13 hours usually as I'm in at 8am and the course finishes at pm) but I think it's totally worth it. And it means that I actually get some time on Photoshop, rather than getting distracted at home. Silly home. :P

And back on topic! Well, this is what I made during the second course. I still haven't finished some of the drawings from my first lesson thing... But I am working on them slowly, so I'll stick them up here once I'm done as well (I say that so often it's crazy- but I do actually intend to).

I was trying out some new things with the colours so the girl on the right looks a little funky. But it's all good fun experimenting with Photoshop! And two updates in as many days? What is this madness!?

Toothless and SackBoy and Amphy- oh my!

 Hey guys! I figured I should upload this little dude dude that I made- he's my mini toothless Amigurumi. I made him way back in January but I only found these pictures on my iPod recently of him. He was made just from an online pattern... He's quite hard to see here but he's got wings and a tail and such... and he is made from black wool, though it looks kind of reddy and strange here.

And below is my work in progress when I made SackBoy a couple of months ago. Once again from a pattern I found on the internet (oh you are so marvellous internet).

Just starting his head... or foot. I'm not too sure which one that was actually

All of his limbs scattered everywhere

Everything roughly in place so I can start sewing him up!

Sewn up most of the little dude

HAYY-YAH! Karate chop off his head. Is it sad that this picture still amuses me?

Yay! All done and sewn together!

 And below is both Toothless and SackBoy sitting at my desk at school. Because it's always good to have something to amuse you when Maya crashes and deletes your save files.

 And this is the start of Ampharos! One of my friends' favourite Pokemon is Ampharos, so I decided to make him one (from WolfDreamers pattern). I have done the body and legs but I still need to do the tail and sew it all together. I'll upload a picture when I've completed Ampharos too, but for now you can just enjoy staring at his disembodied head. Because that's not morbid or terrifying at all...

Just a casual Tuesday evening

Just something a bit different for a change. What began as a doodle and spawned into something much more. I really enjoyed doing this though, got to play around with a lot of things and let my frustration out onto digital canvas. What can be better than that?

And so many layers. Which makes a change form my single layered speed-paints. Hooray for mixing things up!

Speed painting update

Hey guys! I haven't been on in a while because of all sorts of things happening in real life. But they are good things, and things are very exciting! I thought I would just update with a speed painting that I did today in the mean time. I'm trying to do so many different things at once, as usual, but some things are slipping by the way-side.

BUT ANYWAY! Here is the speed painting! Enjoy and hopefully soon I can do some proper updates with some other stuff :)

Speed painting of sorts

This was my first speed painting without reference! I had a lot of fun palying around with the colours and I tried to get some depth into this image... I find that hard sometimes... I also tried to play around with some of the leading lines and the general composition of this piece and I added the person for a little bit of interest and to add more of a focus for the picture. Done on CS5 as per usual. And now I'm keen to do more of this sort of thing!
