Samurai Warmup

Experimenting with a different style this morning.  Playing with a custom inkbrush that I want to incorporate into some future designs.  Let me know what you guys think.

30-45min

More tone

Thought I would do some more tonal practice this afternoon.  Had plans of going to the zoo, but I’ve gotten a bit of a cold and am sneezing like no other.  Done with an ebony pencil & tissue paper for blending.  The lighting is off but it’s all a learning process.  Keep creating!

Lunchtime Paint – 091809 – 20min

not every lunchpaint garners the results i want.  I still feel like I need to push the design more.  20 min.  suggestions are definitely welcomed on this one

20 minute lunch paint

I’m beginning to think that this experiment is a good idea.  20 minute lunchpaint at my internship

Sketchdump

I’ve been doing so much work in photoshop as of late, I thought it was time to change it up a bit and experiment with trying to do some tonal work in pencil. I recently bought a conte carbon pencil to use for life drawing, but I wanted to do a dry run of the medium. After seeing Dave Colman do a tonal demo in his character design class, I thought it would be something worth trying out for myself. I didn’t use the same tools as Dave did, but I kept the essence of the demo in mind. Whether or not I was successful in it, who knows? The only thing for sure was that I had some fun trying it out.

Although I’ve been doing speedpaints during my lunchbreaks at my internship, I grab my sketchbook and draw whoever is in sight while I’m eating my lunch.

I’m not sure how successful these sketches are because I just sketched for the sake of clearing my mind. Sat down at a Starbucks and just drew as I collected my thoughts. More of a therapeutic drawing session.
