Cameron's - Art School Journey

camerondavidanim 2022-03-22 07:44:20 UTC #1

Welcome to my Art School Journey. As you already know, I'm Cameron, and I'll be your host.

A small bit of background information is probably in order. Ruffly 7 years ago while I was still in High School, I fell in love with Character Design through playing D&D. Big shocker I know. From there I began to develop my artistic skills quite on & off. Below you can see my more current pieces I've done for my characters.

But recently I've had the urge to take my art to the next level, so I began watching Marc's tutorials, and after a few weeks of umming and ahhhing about it I decided to just take the dive and start ART SCHOOL.

I hope you'll take good care of me as I work my way through this course. I'm fully opened to all critique and actively invite it.

Had time today, so I figured I'd work through the Photoshop for Digital Production tasks. Honestly was fun to revisit some of the tools I haven't used for ages. I had the most fun with the dream home/castle task. Below you can see the completed tasks.

Nice job! Looks like you are getting the hang of it! Keep up with those deformations and transformations they arn't easy! I still have trouble with those.

Did some practice rooms for Task 3 of the Perspective assignment.

Hi Cameron! Seems like a really good start! Love the eeriness/mystique of the castle image! And wel done on the connecting the dots and circle tracing. Previous attempts in other courses taught me those can be deceptively hard. All the best as you continue!

I really like these perspective studies. Keep up the good work

Lockenheim 2022-05-20 14:01:40 UTC #11

Great work on these studies, they keep getting better! You did a really fantastic job with the 3rd one with all the thickness on the bannisters!

Practice for the 2 point perspective building

Lockenheim 2022-05-31 13:59:50 UTC #13

These are looking good! Well done! Nice thickness on the last one!

I think I'll call it here for the 1 & 2 point perspective assignment with these final two practices. I'm excited to start the figure drawing.

OK so its been a hot minute since I last posted here, life gets in the way of things as it usually does. As I last said I would be moving unto the Nude Figure Tasks, and so here are tasks 1 to 5 that I've done over the last few days.

Lockenheim 2022-07-20 19:01:03 UTC #16

I love the way you are think about the shape form and clean lines. I think when you do these assignments multiple times like the proportions assignment you really see the growth. Really fantastic work with this! Keep it up!

camerondavidanim 2022-08-01 05:06:07 UTC #17

Its been a hot min so its time for an update.
I've moved on from the basic proportion studies into gesture drawings. So far I've found that timing the gestures to be quite stressful, so until I'm comfortable and more familiar with it I'm not going to be timing myself as when I do I just defult into doing the skeletons as you can see below.

Shout out to Lockenheim, thank you for your replys/encouragement.

Lockenheim 2022-08-03 14:06:33 UTC #18

You are very welcome! Keep up the good work!

Oh god its been a HOT minute since I last uploaded anything...or worked on anything. Life does find a way to get in the way hahaha. Reguardles, heres what little I've managed to squeak out.

I'm feeling like I should move unto Term 2 now, but not quite sure I'm ready since the break.

camerondavidanim 2023-01-25 04:49:51 UTC #20

Starting Term 2, and the New Year, off with a work dump. Heres everything I've done at the moment while working through the Photoshop for Digital Production term 2 class. Going to finish the PS for Digital Prod Assignment Part B soonish. Hopefully Marc doesn't mind I used one of his characters for this assignment.
