For my good friend, Adi Swidja for all of the lunches he will be buying me. 

Paintings

Original done by Thomas Scholes - digital

Master Copy (aka my failure attempt) - gouache on watercolour paper
Wow this is so hilariously terrible... 

Stress relieving digital painting of an internally broken skeleton person

There are so many sketches in my sketchbook I want to post here but there is no time! Will try to get more stuff up before the weekend though!

Happy Eat Ice Cream for Breakfast Day!

Big Small Project for M. Komza's Layout class. The graticule is sideways.

My first flash animation EVER. We had to use a motion tween, shape tween, 3D tween, classic tween, and rig a character in adobe flash. Frustratingly fun now that I think about it.

Lastly, at the request of one of my followers, my work environment... part of it at least.

Things on the desk: monitors, water bucket, brushes, cellphone, scanner, printer paper, gouache palette, cup of coffee, pencil case, gouache paint, roll of masking tape, toilet paper, tablet pen

Things on the wall: 2 achromatic gouache studies, to do list, addresses, master list deadline sheet, weekly class schedule, improvement list, nostalgic crumpled drawing of a broken foot.

Things on the chair: sweater, leggings, brushes canvas (where I keep my brushes), pencil crayons, painting I'm currently working on. 

Things on the floor: recycling, garbage can, candy jar, chocolate covered peanuts, chinese food bag, tablet, socks, sketchbook.

Hope you're all having ice cream for breakfast.

More to come soon!

Pre Second Semester

I like faces and monsters.

Need More Chocolate and Tea

I should not even be on here right now...
But I feel like I've spent too much of my life on this bone project right now. Anyway, end of semester is pretty intense.... Did I say not as crazy or stressful as I expected it to be? Well then, I lied right through my teeth. Haven't had the time to scan in my dailies either... been doing them, just not digitally.

Anyway we had this project for character design class where we had to pick and artist and research their background and what we could learn from their art so I chose Jeff Simpson who I really admire, more so now that I've creeped his "stupid teenager" journals on dA. We also had to design our own character based on our research... Here's how mine turned out:

What is anatomy...?? Hahaha...

Actually this was easier than I expected it to be even though it turned out nothing like Jeff's stuff. But his method (or what I could decipher from pictures) was really really realllllyyyyy fun. Really need to do more digital work over the winter break.

I still find it hilarious that this is acceptable...

Aaaannnndddd....
Guess who as a human??

Anyway, enough procrastinating... Back to the grind. Gah.

Time for an Update

So I haven't been able to CG or draw as much in my free time as I had hoped. Week 5 (this week) of school is killer, though I'd rather be busting my ass for this, something I can care about, rather than studying economics or what have you. Nothing much to show for now...

First name plate that we scanned then coloured

Second name plate that I did because I'm not a big fan of scanning and then colouring. Was also dying to paint.

Went for a photography break with a couple of friends the other day to have at least 1 day of weekend.

It was fun.

Summer Stuff

Here's some of the stuff I did over the summer. Also some life drawings, but I forgot to take pictures of those

Traditional:

Digital:

Painting/study of movement. I noticed that all the paintings that I enjoy the most have some sort of texture and/or movement in them.

Wanted to do a master painting: Audrey Hepburn as Catwoman by Adam Hughes.

I took this study from Digital Painting Techniques: Master Collection Volume 1. Wanted to finish it but unfortunately when I resized it to save it as a preview I saved it over my original file. Perhaps I'll do another one some time soon.

Using minimal colours.
