Expressions

4 realistic, 4 caricature--or basically, my own style I suppose. Had fun with these!

While I personally draw humans, her style is amazing, well refined, and detailed. Her characters are memorable and her backgrounds amazing--I love her webcomic, Lackadaisy, and she's done a few tutorial-esque things that help me a lot.


During class we drew another self portrait, one realistic and one caricature.

New Concepts

Just something I've been working on in my spare time. Recently reworked some character outfits for my story--meet the Combat Magi.

I combined design elements from the old uniform (that was no longer in use) and added some more mystery to it... along with awesome, flowy robes. :) Had a lot of fun with these.

Lots and lots of poses.

Visual Thinking

This site talks about a program being implemented into schools that teach Visual Thinking and explains how it improved many, many skills across the board.

Progress shots: Aaron

Since I just completed a personal project this week, I thought I'd share the progress shots of my most recent piece! It'll take you through a few steps of lineart to the final piece. There's always quite a big transformation from my sketch to lineart, as you can see.

Dan Luvisi is an artist I've admired for some years now. I found him on DA; a guy who painted ridiculously well and got front page once in awhile. He has no college education, or formal art school, but pushed himself to great heights. He's become published and now is on his way to having a movie created from his graphic novel, Last Man Standing. He's done covers for a few comic titles and is working on a new project called Redemption. A really amazing guy.

Skeleton and Muscular Structure

  

Class 1's study of the skeleton and muscles, labeled. :) 

Web Resource

It's a medical website, a pharmaceutical one (judging by the name). They have a nice, large gallery of both overall and detail views of the skeletal and muscular systems.

The ones I found most helpful were these 10:

1 * 2 * 3 * 4 * 5

6 * 7 * 8 * 9 * 10
