Portrait? Portrait.

It's Audrey Hepburn! Beginning to work out a consistent way of approaching form. Seems to work well. Though it makes me realize how little I know about forms I don't interact with on a daily basis.

Fighting Summer laziness..

Just a character concept sketch for today, if only to get some of this laziness taken care of. I've been doing sketches, but nothing has really been pursuit-worthy. Though I plan to do portrait studies for a while along with some anatomy books.

Color Theory Final Illustrations

Well, here's the set of seasonal / elemental illustrations to accompany my final designs for color theory. I can't say they're amazing or anything, but applying some color theory to illustration is always a good thing. Makes it all make sense a bit more. Got as much done as I could before I had to put these down.

Order (if you can't tell, if that's true then that's not a good sign):

Spring Summer

Fall Winter

I would've liked to add more detail to their environments, but I just didn't have enough time this go around.

I drew a beetle.

His name shall be Steve.

More? More.

More!

These are fun, but I think I feel like doing an environment next.

Easter laziness resolved!

Getting back to it between classes, just a couple of studies. Trying something I saw in one of James Gurney's books, to simplify to just black & white (yellowish). Since I enjoyed these, expect more later when I'm looking for something to do instead of Color Theory.

I bought a couple of water brush pens to do some traditional versions of these with ink in my sketchbooks. Halfway just to start prepping for Illustration 1. That's right, three months in advance. Watch yourselves.

Edit: This would be the exercise I was mentioning. Apparently I'm cheating, oops.

Hellish day, but got things done.

Just a quick study today, and a quick painting I was working on a while back as just a sketch.

Paper knocked out, glad to have that off of my shoulders. I may not be staying COMPLETELY true to my 1 work/day, but I'm damn close, and it's doing me tons of good. Psyched for my portfolio review, gonna rattle the cages a little bit. I almost was preparing for the idea of walking out due to the apparent hate of sketchbook work, but I was informed that as long as you speak about how it's relevant, all will go well. 

Updated with a study of Clint Eastwood for kicks.
