I am a born and raised Idahoan, mountains and the outdoors are in my blood. I have always enjoyed making art and being creative. I have many interests: Chemistry, Rocketry, and really good art. Most of all, I love being with my family.
Hey everyone! Long time no post, school is crazy, being an engineering student and making art on the side is even crazier! Just wanted to post this piece I'm really happy with. The assignment was creating depth through perspective, atmospheric perspective, layering, etc. I decided to focus on good old one point perspective and I wanted to make something a little surreal. Let me know what you think!
Still in a rough drawing stage, but it is coming along. I am planning on doing some inking studies along side finishing up the penciling.
A study I did on some of Al Williamson's work. I Love his inking and characters. I focused on getting the same energy in his original pose in my study and on his masterful inking techniques. My copy is fairly inferior but I learned a TON! I noticed that his ink strokes are generally thin and very in thickness just enough to suggest different forms. I also loved how he made the clothing out of thick and gestural strokes. My hatching strokes are quite a bit darker than his. I may have not been using a thin enough tool or he worked in a larger size than I did.
@Aleksey Wow! Great Characters! The octopus is my favorite, you did a great job layering composing all of its tentacles.
@karolifo Your ideas look like they are coming together. I like the little details you are thinking of to clarify/enhance the story. I would warn against making your compositions to cluttered with detail. For example, showing the girl in B being both afraid of being the 13th guest at dinner and a afraid of the black cat may muddle the clarity rather than help. But the subtle details like the matching color of the girl and the chair and the luck charmes in A sound like great ideas. Can't wait to see were these go!
@burvantill Didn't quite understand what was going on, then I saw the skull. Ohhh, good stuff!
Welcome! This is a fun place to be. You will find a lot of encouragement here. Look forward to seeing you progress!
Been working on a personal piece. I am a sci-fi kind of guy and after watching Star Trek: First Contact I really wanted to do a bio-robotic character. So I drew up a few concepts found one I liked and I am running with it. Unfortunately my light sketch is.....well....light, so my scanner can't pick it up very well. I have been calling it an "assassin" but the more I have developed the character I have begun to look at it as a "misunderstood robot with a tragic past". The piece shows it awaking after an unknown amount of time has passed. My ultimate plan for the piece is for it to be the final panel in a short comic.
Hey everyone! It has been awhile, but college started for me again so I finally have access to a scanner. I just want to share some sketches I have made over the summer. I have good bunch, so I will release two or three over the next few days. Comments and thoughts welcome!
Some simple face studies.
Tried to translate my knowledge about the head into some character designs.
