book scene

This is another scene for the book that I have been Illustrating. I started last week, but got sick with the flu and still am pretty sick, but I was determined to finish this and think it turned out pretty good. The longest part was the light and shadow to show it's later at night and lit by the moon instead of the sunset in a previous scene.

Drawing class final

This is titled "That's our ship!" The fat farmer and his helper chimp found this pile of junk and are trying to fix it up while the original owners decide to show up. I really learned alot in this class and am sad to have it be finaly over.

robot worker assignment

This was last weeks assignment with the theme of robot worker. I did a cleaning robot. This is my usual process after I get the sketch where I want it to be. I trace over it in ink, then scan it in to do a digital painting for a value study trying out different lighting and shadows, then I print it out for reference when I take the inked version from before and use my markers and white paint to finish it. I really liked how it turned out, though the scan of the finished version doesn't look as good as the real thing. I learned why and how to do better scans since then, and when I get my portfolio back, I'll rescan a better image of it.
It's been a little over a week since I turned in my portfolio and have at least another week or two to find out if I got in the animation program or not.

Toy Redo

This is my most recent assignment for my animation drawing class. We had to redo our toy assignment to a new theme of viking raiders. We had to have knowledge based drawings, creative drawings, and then redo the toy with similar shapes and design principles. I took the raccoon skin cap idea from my Daniel Boone character and turned it into a raccoon viking. The shapes between the two characters are similar. If you take the body of Daniel Boone and turn it upside down, you get the basic shape I used to make the raccoon's body. I'm pleased with how it turned out, and can say I know a whole lot more about vikings now that I researched them and drew over 17 pages of sketches that I combined into these two scans.

Recent assignments

These are some recent assignment s I have done for my drawing class. The frog was an assignment for simple shapes and lines, then we had to design whats called vinyl toys based on historic figures, so I drew some ideas and decided to go with the Daniel Boone character and developed him further, then we had to design ourselves at a young age with our imaginary friend and use markers to put gray tone in it, and I also posted another page for the book I have been working on.
