Vis Dev Dump

Finally getting around to posting most of my 117A Beginning Visual Development projects this semester. Yayyyyy!

This is where I am for now. We're starting a character design project! But first we were assigned to render out a light/street pole that has character on it (like with texture, aging, painted over). I am definitely starting to get how to vary and see my edges in my digital paintings and how it really makes a difference between a hard and soft edge.

Good Friday

Watching a documentary on the History Channel about the Gospel of Judas led me to doing a study from one of my favorite Old Masters.

Stopped after 2 hours because I have homework to do lol.

Clarity 1

1 hour study at least.

I'm obsessed with how beautiful this music video is.

Marooned

A few days ago, my friends and I went to get coffee after an all-nighter. While in line, I noticed that all of us were wearing similar colored pieces of clothing, like some kind of gang. Totally "marooned" on an island of sleep deprivation hahahaha...ha. Later on, I wanted to get a photo of us and the person I kindly asked to take a pic didn't want to because we weren't actually wearing "maroon" lol.

hahaha so I made do and did this instead.

I guess this also counts as Day 8 of the challenge because I consider my A/I friends family. :)

Day Six

...something I never drew before: a book character. His name is Ramsay Snow.

Line.

WIP color

Doctah Jones

My friend shared a link where there are tons of great shots from various movies posted. I took one shot from Raiders of the Lost Ark and did a study. It took me two hours.

I'm gonna try to at least do a study every day. I'm not gonna make it a resolution but a habit.

Favorite Outfit

At first I went with an outfit I normally wore during fall/winter season, but I thought that the way I normally draw is pretty boring. After a few days, and looking around for inspiration, I started doodling while looking at my Joseph Clement Coll book (with Toy Story 3 running in the background) to see if I can try his style digitally.
I looked at this one drawing he did of a man's profile and I half-copied, half-did-my-own-thing for this daily. I thought it would look cool if I made him into the 1920's dapper-as-fuck gangster because it's one of my favorite styles. Hopefully in the future, I'll have enough confidence to style myself like that.
