Day 74

Day 73

Ok and we're back to figure studies! It's important to everyonce and a while ask yourself what it is you want to do, and what your short term goals are.
Mine is definitly to get employed as fast as possible, and I think animation is the skill I want to sell on my cv, so in order to achieve that I just have to focus on actual animation, which means strong life drawing and lots of good animations both in 2d and 3d.
I'll be finishing my job in 2 weeks time so then I won't have to work on these studies at midnight anymore and I'll be using different media to explore the figure.
For now I stick to pencils!

In this image here I tried to build the image from shaded planes, really break things down in a constructional way, which I think would really help painting at a later stage.



I then did some blind drawings (which I didn't post) and moved on to some more loose drawingsbut still trying to rely on strong shapes rather then outlining the figure.

Day 72

Following in the footsteps of my friend Marc McCabe (check out his blog), I did a masterstudy this morning based on one of Frank Frazetta's paintings, it's actually surprising how much fun it is to copy an amazing piece of work like that. I might put in another hour tomorrow to finish this study.

Day 71

I've been really busy with my 3d project. but I do try my best to squeeze in my daily hour studies. Thanks to Marc, I'm kinda on a painting trip at the moment, even though I swore to stay away from that, but as long as it stays fun, I don't mind.
Today's a study of the female figure. 50 mins Photoshop.

Day70

1h 20 mins

Day 69

Wow,
how slow am I? 45 minutes for this study! Haha,
That's because it was something I never drew before,
so the brain takes a long time to analyse the textures and stuff,
but hopefully it'll go faster next time and I can get some more done.

Day69

Joined the Crimson Daggers for a painting session after college before I went off. First time painting my surroundings in Photoshop, really enjoyed it!
