Term 1 - Digital Production
Last but not least, the digital production hw. It's been awhile since I've done a proper photobash, but this was quite fun to do. The matching color assignment one was tough though. I can still tell I'm off a bit. Overall I'm happy with the progress here so I'll move to term 2.

Term 2 - Anatomy 1

Here is my work for the heads. It's been awhile since I've painted in photoshop, but this was fun! The last image with the practice heads, I decided to play around with how to draw/paint it. The last one on the lower right is a technique by Thomas Fluharty which he calls "blind contour not really." It's definitely a fun way to sketch because it is very freeing and loose.

Term 2 - Perspective
For the perspective one, I didn't make it as extreme with the 3rd point. Personally I don't find it that appealing for it to be so extreme, so for this I made it more subtle.

Study Break!

So before I move on, I just wanted to work on something more fun as a mini break. I was looking around characterdesignreferences.com and looking at animation works and I came across masters of anatomy. I love the way their works are stylistically drawn, so I decided to buy all of the ebooks and do master studies.

This first set of sketches is from the character design ebook. I just scrolled through and picked random artists. The artists I picked were Ben Fiquet, Brett Parson, Celia Kaspar, Christine Chatal, Drew Hill, Kyu Bum Lee, Matt Doering, and Kshiraj Telang.

My main goal was to study shape language and getting used to pushing and pulling shapes. I also noticed I have a tendency to draw my subjects taller/skinner and I tend to straighten angles when I should be pushing them more.

This second set was from their How to Draw Expressive Faces and Hands ebook. Unfortunately I couldn't find the name of the artist who did the original drawings.

Term 3 - Anatomy
For the second assignment, instead of looking for skeletons to do a draw over, I figured it would be better practice for me to do a mannequin version of the figure and then draw the muscles over that. The back had always been a weak point for me.

Term 3 - Clothing Studies

Here are my clothing studies. I got the references from New Masters Academy.

Term 3 - Invented Cloth

This was a tough one. Making up clothing was quite tricky.

Hey guys. Been away for a minute. I took a break and was studying some other materials. Primarily Steven Silvers' and the Force Drawing courses online, but I'm back now and here is my anatomy studies.

These next two I did from imagination and made up arm and leg positions. The last two I made up poses to practice putting everything together.
