sketchbook retrospecitve 101017

Sketchbook from October 17th 2010 to the beginning of winter break. That one filled up fast. There were a lot less notes, but there's some pieces from Max Howard and a presentation on title sequences. Also, I had lots of fun drawing kids on the playground when I went to my mom's school with her (last couple of images). It's one of the most difficult, interesting, and rewarding places to draw.

sketchbook retrospective 091216

I realized a while ago how little sketchbook stuff I have been posting these last couple of years. Since my last real substantial sketchbook post I have filled about 5 sketchbooks. Most of it is people watching, that's a big part of what I do. Intermixed with drawings are notes. ...Lots of notes (probably 1/3 of this book was solid words). I've tossed a few useful tidbits in with the drawings as I came across them. Most things are common knowledge, but it's good to be reminded from time to time. So without further ado, here are the highlights of my sketchbook from Dec 16th, 2009 to Fall 2010.











Tune in soon for more sketchbookery. It's a pain in the butt to scan these suckers but I'm hoping to get it all up during spring break.

if - warning

A warning about scissors and keeping the appropriate amount of digits.

again, no inventory in the mailroom this friday. Couple that with an anthroplogie catalog found in the trash and some scrap wood found over at the woodshop and we arrive at what you see above.

illustration friday

if - swarm

For Illustration Friday: swarm.
I haven't been doing much IF lately, but this Friday at the mail room taking inventory was canceled.

late light process

A late light painting I started for class. Only have one session in so far, but I've been working differently on it and like where it's going.

finding beauty

Some stuff I did for a silent auction for charity. Lots of fun (:

painting at island park

More adventures in oil painting! These were painted at island park in the morning hours. This first one is a larger painting done during one class, the four after are super small and were all done during one class, and the last two are slightly larger ones both done in one class.

painting around school

These are my first oil paintings (aside from one earlier one). They're quick studies from mostly around campus. They're mostly around 45min to 1.5hrs except for the last two which are larger ones done in 2-3hours each. Everything is posted, so you get to see the train wrecks too! Sometimes you learn more from the disasters though.

rewind

I Managed to get over to crealde over winter break for their sunday like drawing. Quick stuff in gouache.







This break I also painted with oils for the first time.

hey, it's february

Thesis pre-production is devouring my life, but it's lot's of fun! Meanwhile, I've been getting my character together for lip sync, currently on blend shapes. I also have been doing lots of landscape paintings (which I hope to start getting up soon).
