Need to darken up the some of the ambient occlusion areas here and take out the linework. I did this last night.

1/24/09_long pose

this is what i had at the of the session

after i went home, i duplicated the layer in PS and change the hue on top layer to blue. then i erase some of the blue where the light hits the figure. and this is what i ended up with.

another long pose

this is my second attempt using my laptop for the long pose. didn't have a chance to work on the background, i was really just focusing on the figure. I will do more painting at this wednesday session and try to use digital one week and then traditional the week after.

01/17/09_figure drawings (charcoal)

some 25 min poses from Sat figure drawing session.

I've been trying my hand at using photoshop at life drawing the last 5 times I've gone. I finally got to try it out on a 3 hour pose and this is the result. I'm also experimenting with color here, and I think I need to shift some of the skin tone away from the blue a bit.

another steampunk robot

did another rough sketch of steampunk robot. the last one was short and stocky, so this time i went for something looks more slim.

12g. Revolver

I finished up a refined version of the 12g. Revolver today. I think I will take it into 3d and make some renders from a few different angles :)

Revolver concept

Here are some quick renders of a revolver idea I had the other day. I picked number 6 to do a more finished rendering of, should be posting that up soon. :)

Sat life drawing session - 1/10/09

It was one of those day I just couldn't draw anything right. started to feel better towards the end. These were the last two sketches. i really wish i had more time with these, at least to bring out more highlight. Well...it's just another drawings i guess.

Ballard Long Pose

i went to the ballard long pose session last nite. I used my labtop and wacom, still need to get more used to it. I will definitely do more, and hopefully will start to do some tradition painting also.

This is my setup at home. I'm trying to establish a workflow and a layout that is easy to access. I'm using a timer to evaluate how much time I'm actually spending drawing vs. how much time I spend going through prep work.

1st and 2nd vine charcoal copies of John Singer Sargent. This is my first time using this type of medium, and the first attempt was not precise. The second time around I figured that I had to sharpen the charcoal stick more often because vine is very soft. The results were much better.

1st post!!!

rough idea of steampunk robot. spent about 2 hr.
