CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Still Life 4

This weeks set up:

Again this week I used dyes and coloured asatate, but painted out the background with black acrylic. Overall I'm happy with the "cosmic" feel of the piece.

Today we worked from this structure Phil put together;

I mainly focused on the cones in general, using mixed media consisting of dye, pastels, asatate and newspaper

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Character Design Class 2

In this session we learnt about the three fundamental shapes in character design; the square, circle and triangle, and adapted this with our attempts at redesigning characters with these attributes. I was given Bugs Bunny and attempted to make him more villainous:

Next we were given a type of character we had to make 3 designs for, and I was given "gladiator". Here I went for a more traditional gladiator design for the three of them, and attempted to follow the fundamental shapes for character designing:

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Character Design Class 1

This class we had to bring an image of our favourite characters (and style), and I chose Briefers Rock from the anime series; Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt.

I was then given Winnie the Pooh to draw in this style, which I found very challenging and did numerous attempts:

 I tried to keep to the PSG style but ended up losing what was "really" Winnie the Pooh; his roundness, so I gave it another shot with that in mind:

 Finally, we had to draw our character we brought in in a completely different style, and I was given Spongebob Squarepants and this was my attempt:

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Master studies

I decided it would be worth to do a couple of master studies in between my work for the project. It was challenging but definitely useful. Will definitely do some more at another time.

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Male Model 1

This week was to use the space around the model as well.

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Female Model 2

Focused on negative space for this session. Also did an exercise where we couldn't take our hand of the paper so it was a continuous line (pic.4 left drawing)

       

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Female Model 1

First time doing life drawing, and it was a very helpful experience. A mixture of long a short drawing sessions.

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: Still Life 2

Worked from this structure. I quickly sketched out the basic shape and then moved onto using the paint. I tried to make it as interesting as possible, I would let the colours bleed to blend and create some shading. Afterwards I just let the paint run. I'm quite please with the result:

CG Artists Toolkit Drawing: 1, 2 + 3 Point Perspective exercise

Simple and quick 1, 2 + 3 point perspective exercises.

CG Artists Toolkit: Still Life 1

Base structure for our drawings today. 

I followed the base and began to build on it. It started to feel like an oriental citadel type of thing.

CG Artist Toolkit: Photoshop

Done in class today. Selected my 4 personal favourites from my first set of thumbnails and tried different colour variants. 

I also used Adobe Kuler to select the hues and complimentary colours (more noticeable in 1 (red/orange with slight green tints) and 2 (pink/purple with yellow).
