Avengers Sketch

Sketched this up in Photoshop. Might try and work in some more Avengers characters.

Life Drawing session - part 3

Had a pretty jam packed life drawing session today. All the drawings seen below are from 30 second poses, so these are done more for gesture drawing.

What I like most about these drawings is that they are done so fast, that you have to get the pose down quick, that as you go along you find yourself getting into the flow. I also like when the pencil wears down and you start drawing with this really flat pencil which has some nice flow to it.

The next drawings we did after all these gesture drawings, was to do some forced perspective type drawings. That is we had to take the model who was sitting in front of us, and try and redraw it from looking above and below.

We then finished up with some 5 minute poses.

So all in all a pretty jam packed session. Pretty much filled up my sketchbook now with all these sketches, will have to buy a new one.

Fruit Skate Concepts

So here's a look at how the finished concepts ended up for what I posted in my previous post. In the end I had to rush to make the deadline for the assignment, but pretty happy with how they turned out.

There is another 2 apps I designed, but they aren't as good as these ones.

From the drawing board

Here's some photos from my iPhone of something I'm working on at the moment for a class assignment. Got to design 3 apps for the iPad around a few selected theme ideas. This app here is a bit of a rip off Tiny Wings on the iPhone with some changes made to it, but I still like the idea of it.

Life Drawing session - part 2

Some life drawing taken from todays session.

Below is some 15 minute sketches. I think I need to do the under drawing in future with a blue pencil before going in with the pencil.

Life Drawing session

So I've started doing life drawing in my drawing class on Friday. It was pretty interesting exercise since I haven't done any life drawing since 1996 I think? Anyway it was mostly 1 to 2 minutes poses, with some 5 minute poses towards the end.

All of these images on the right are 2 minute poses I think of the model holding an umbrella.











Towards the end, we did a series of 6 poses with the umbrella which we were told to animate into a sequence in Photoshop, similar to the hand piece I posted before. You can see the end result below.

Below is some 5 minute sketching we did at the end of the session.

Some drawing exercises

Haven't been posting much since I've started the new semester for university, this time at a new uni. The best thing about this new course is it's more art focused than my old degree I was doing, so I am enjoying it a lot more.

Here is a drawing exercise we had to do, which is a short animated gif of 7 drawings of my hand going from open to close. I'm pretty happy with how it came out, seeing how it's not done like traditional animation with light boxes to make sure everything is smooth, but rather just drawing each hand separate then combined in Photoshop and hope it works lol

The other exercise we had to do was to draw a bike from memory, then draw a bike from observation.
