Owl and Tree house level - January

So this is how my owl and tree house level ended up by the end of last semester. Now that we've started the second semester I've started re drawing the concepts and making new models of them for my portfolio. Other than this I will be working on about 10 other pieces for my portfolio for the rest of the year. 

November 18th

I spent a bit of time this week working on this guy. Still not done, but I'm really happy with it so far.

A couple drawings from my sketchbook,

November 8th

Did a little more work to this painting since last update, but it still needs some work.

Drawing for class.

One of my concept sketches for the Owl Tree house I am working on in Maya this year.

And this is what I have so far, though I still plan on doing some more work to it as well and I won't be texturing it for a bit.

Digital painting

This is puss in boots, part of a daily challenge last week.

Work in progress

October 16th - Sketchbook

These are a couple school sketchbook assignments that I did the past couple weeks. 

I really like how this ended up turning out, this was an in class project. I didn't get to finish it completely yet, but I plan to continue some work on it. 

This was a project about line work and I'm pretty happy with how it turned out with how much trouble it was giving me at the start. 

Sketchbook Sept 17th-21st, 2012

 A few sketchbook drawings from last week. After submitting them into the critique at school I've made a few changes, but I plan on doing a bit more work on most of these.

I fixed his head/chest area and I'm thinking of doing a digital painting on him to get some practice with shading and highlights.

A few concept sketches of the low poly model I will be making later in the year. 

Did this jellyfish the other night just for fun. 

So much work so little time I shouldn't even be on here updating my blog. Back to homework. :)

Last back to school for me!

This summer was busy with working and I kind of let this blog disappear to the back of my mind, but now that I'm back in College, ( for my last year!!) I thought I'd start updating again.

So I thought I had no life with the amount of stuff I was constantly having to create last year but looking at the next 4 months scheduled and then having a sort of on the job training thing for the last half of the year I just know already I'm going to be so busy I'll be spinning.

But those times I manage to catch a break I will make and effort to update!

So starting with this week we jumped right back into it Thursday with a Daily challenge. The challenge was to create a piece of concept art and have it looked finished by the end of the day. I think I did alright and then after critiques I went back and changed some things.

Drawing class we're staring with Anatomy witch I am pretty amped for! Drawing people usually isn't my strong suit, but I did like how this sketch turned out.

And of course this year we have Figure drawing every Friday! Third year in a row of this and I'm still not happy with how they turn out most of the time. This year though, we will be concentrating more on the anatomy, as I mentioned already, and I hope to really get good at it.

Please, if anyone has anything productive to say about any piece of art leave a comment!
