Thumbnail Sketches

I have a sketchbook dedicated to thumbnails, I fucking love doing thumbnails.

Larger ideas of some of the thumbs, the 4th one is more of a misty cloud thing and I don't feel like taking the time to render that with pencil crayon.

Environment Studies

Learning the ropes of environments through studies:

Feel like this one is a lot weaker.

The rest of the studies

Sketch Dump 2.21

Just another sketchdump, I don't like having a post dedicated to one picture (only sometimes), so I'll keep this one constantly flowing as best as I can...

I find myself comfortable enough with the medium to experiment with different weights, dry brush techniques, and diluted ink. But maaaaan just looking at Nico Delort's stuff... I'm gonna have to pick up a scratch board or 10...

Sometimes I wonder where/when I will go back to tight pencils, before ink I loved the constructed, tight pencil look, and that look definitely transfers to ink 100%, but right now I do like it very loose and expressive. 

Environmental Storytelling (Project 2 - Observational)

Just keeping a process log of my project 2, learning how to do environments, good greyscales (or piece of shit ones) and then coloring from that greyscale. 

I've learned from this one enough in terms of pushing things back and pulling things forward, using texture to describe atmospheric perspective, and a bit of color. I wouldn't be too embarassed showing this tomorrow.

Although I should chill out the textures of the "trees" and flatten some of that green texture on the red rock.... and.....

I like how this one turned out, I can see the allure of painting environments now! It starts out so muddy and then eventually you have something, process is everything I've been learning lately.

Ughhhhhh organic environments are probably fun but I don't get them! But I'm calling this one done as well. LOL 

Developing A Designer Vocabulary

I want to explore design and typography a lot further than I have been....

Figure Illustration: Project 1 Character Transformation

I never post up school work, but there's a first for everything.

Tonals with dry brush acrylic

In the end I'm doing a combo of the last one and first one... going to try to pull back and push forward as much as I can with each panel. I have to fix the face anatomy of the last one, MAKE a panel 2, fix some shit for panel 3 so the structure is there, put in a background for panel 3 as well.

Liking how this one is coming out. miiiiight want to push things abit more forward, like the beard. My instructor also wants to fix the face, soooooo that might be a pain in the ass depending. Also have to brighten this cause Macs are retardedddddddddddddddddd.

 

Hmmmmmm I feel like the red is being too obvious here, probably need to put some more highlights on the muscles as well. Darken the breast plate thingy....

Update: I dunno... make the arm armer thing less flesh toned? I'm abit lost at the moment for this one.

Finals, there's things to fix but I'm proud of the result! 

It's Happenin'
