School - Character Design W.I.P

Finally, I got it working and uploaded the most recent W.I.P.
Comments are welcome!

School - Clothing and Textures

There actually is progress!

Peeps, what I've done now is a quick color sketch and added more details to the armor.

What's next?

- More details, refining and finishing up.
- Correcting the anatomy for the pose
- Matching the colours and create balance.

Personal - Website progression and preview

Hey guys and gals!

So yet another post! If you guys were wondering if I'd ever get my portfolio site online, here is a small sneak-peek! I decided to do a front doodle/visual depending on my mood, a recent happening or the season (like now). It's something Google has as well, and I think it's a nice idea!

So, what's left for me to do? Pretty much.. like:

- Finish the portfolio + its gallery.
- Write my own Bio and design the page
- Contact is nearly finished, only some tidying up!

Oh about the pose... I'm progressing on that as well :)

Cheers!

School - Character Design W.I.P

Small update on the character I'm working on.

I dislike her face for now, need to work on that. Hairstyle needs more changes. After that, I need to get more demonic with her.

Ahh well, just gonna finish this one nonetheless. Who knows, maybe something extra for my portfolio?

School - Character Design W.I.P

Hello peeps!

I don't mind the way she's looking right now, but I'm going into the wrong direction!

The theme is: "Sexy, armoured demonic female"

Due to the pose it helps the sexyness, but she's going asian-like and I'm missing out on armour. How to fix this? I'm going to dawdle somewhat more and longer on this to see how it turns out, but I hope I get it back on track again.

That's it for now folks!

School - Shadow & Lighting

Hey there lads!
I've been working on the shadow and lighting versions of my character/pose.

Well, it still needs work, but there is still one more to be done. I kept the second one (on the right) quite rough, so sorry for that.

Pros:
Values +
Direction of the light +
Form +

Cons:
Sketchy -

Coming up:
Detailed version of the pose.

Personal - Colour Study

Doing a colour study, what makes which colour and why?

Since this is an outside shot (and a really pretty one!) I decided to make use of it to study natural colours outdoors.

Pros:
+ Form
+ Colour
+ Composition

Cons:
- Contrast
- Values

I put the Values under cons but I'm going into the right direction, so it's more or less considered neutral.

P.s. This is going to be an A3 size digital painting for a special someone. I will finish this up and hope to make someone happy.

School - Pose and planes

The pose I've chosen is pretty obvious, I guess. It isn't as easy as it looked first hand, but it went decent. More practice would be a good idea, though.

Pros:
+ Lines
+ Form

Cons:
- Messy

Overal I call it decent. Next stop: Lighting!

I've already finished 1 lighting, but there is 2 more to follow. After that I'm allowed to do the details, clothing and whatnot. As in: The most fun is yet to come!



Oh and since we had to theme our final drawings, I'll announce our theme right here:

Demonic Character.
But we decided to take it a bit further and choose to make it into:
Armoured, but sexy looking demonic female.

Now isn't that something? Cheers!

Personal Work - Pose, Costume and Colouring

I thought I would update this with a personal work of myself! This time it's a pose, clothing and colouring. All for the need of practice! I'm trying to get a good sense of colour and form.
(Note the textures).

As you can see it's far from finished, but we're going forward!

Keeping you posted! Cheers!

Studies - Pose Sketches

Sketches made with chosen photographs. Counts as studies as well.

Pros:
+ Form
+ Perspective

Cons:
- Hands & Feet
- Messy Lines

That's it for today...!

Photography with style

We made a choice from all the photographs we've made. And we've chosen these!

Light, camera... action!

Only we're not making movies, instead we do photographs!

Well then, on the left there is an example of what our photoseries are about:

Action packed poses

Now what is the point of these photos? We are supposed to chose the best three out of them all.

Now we will print one of these and start to practice anatomy. We need to draw the silhouette and fill them up with planes.

This is a great way to practice and learn about anatomy, but also a great way to see about how gravity affects our clothing and how it creates the folds in clothing.

Next coming up: sketches of various poses!
