Layout Portfolio

I really didn't have anything refined so I coloured all my in-class work sketches in one night.... Wish I coulda done more exploration with persective and stuff.

Sketchbooky sketches

Crazy deadline week is over, and it's Friday. While everyone is out partying, celebrating the end of the madness that was week 5 I sit here at home updating my blog. Party party yes all good and fun, but take heed fellow friends for we are still not in the clear. There is still week 6 and 7 which entail a couple of tests no doubt, a painting assignment, and the up-coming portfolio day.

Anyway,

I got some sketchbook work scanned in.

Remember that "Goals for This Year" post I posted not too long ago? Well in order to reach those goals and to all around get better at something, I devised this sketchbook workout which I cleverly called "The Workout". It lasted for about a week before I started getting sleep deprived. Thinking about revising The Workout and starting it up again this week. Let's see if I can make it to 2 weeks this time.

House I did for Komza's Layout class. We had to do a house on a slope in an hour. He said it was definitely a portfolio piece. I said I could do better. It was in pencil originally. Threw on some greys in Photoshop.

This was me trying to do better. Perhaps when you see it next, it will be all nice and cleaned up and CGed. Just gotta wait for that new computer and or graphics card to roll in my way. ...And/or some student loan/paycheque money. /tummygrumble.

In other news I blew $27 on 2 hard cover books without thinking twice about it today. Oops there goes my food allowance for the next 2 weeks. Also, regrettably, one of the reasons why I'm not celebrating with my friends in Toronto/Richmond Hill tonight. Oh the bitter troubles of a bibliophile.

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.
