Joe - Art School Journey

joseph_k 2024-10-07 13:27:04 UTC #790

Hello everyone on my Art School Journey! I am honored to tell you today that I have officially joined the team at Unfocused Entertainment Productions, a real-dal startup indie game studio

We do not have a website yet, but I'll share that if we make one and will share my experiences with the team in the coming future when i am able to officially do so ( we have a NDA agreement, so I can only speak on specific things ).

I can now say that I have officially entered the industry! What does this mean for my Art School Journey? First of all, I hope that my success can inspire others and I want you to know that if I can do it, you can do it too. Secondly, I will continue with my fundamental practice. I may rethink my approach overall, and continue to learn and grow and go back to the program as a whole and start over and go through everything and finish it when I get there ( week by week ).

I am glad and honored to be here. I am now living my dream. I have officially made it. And I would love nothing more than to keep going and to help other people get here too

See you soon

So much going on all at once, so much to look forward to, so much to process and prepare for, so much to be grateful for, and I'm here for all of it! It's my time

[ Gesture Drawing | 10-8-24 ]

I have decided to take the Art School Program and make it my own. I will begin my personal project today and will take it to the finish line in order to get my certificate, whenever that may be ( I'm guessing sometime winter or spring 2025? ). Otherwise, I'll practice gestures, anatomy, and perspective daily to maintain good healthy habits.

See you soon

[ Daily Practice | 10-9-24 ]

Perspective: I want to go for these Google Street View paintovers, draw shapes in perspective, and draw simple scenes in perspective too. Maybe I'll rotate these out each day and do something different so I can make it fresh every time.
Anatomy: I want to draw the bones on top of photos ( same idea with the muscles! ), draw the skeletal structure and then the bones on top ( so I can practice visualizing the body part(s) from any angle and draw it ), and drawing individual parts ( i.e. eyes, mouth, ears, toes, fingers, etc. ).
Gestures: For the gesture drawing portion, it will remain largely the same since I've got it down up to this point. However, I may try out clothed figure drawing or have some value gesture drawing sessions to switch things up.

[ Dragon Hunters | 10-15-24 ]

This will be my portfolio project to earn the certificate for the Art School curriculum! I intend to get started with lots of ideas and sketches this week, and go from there to polish and complete everything by the end of the year. I will go over the backstory and idea behind the project as times goes on
For now, I will say that this will have a Sci-Fi Fantasy theme and a Stylized-Realistic Art Style. There is a team of 5 hunting 7 long lost Deadly Dragons
