May 2-3 stuff

four of these are not my own characters. Playing around with varying facial types as well as just trying to hone/tweak my style..and just doodling in general. Ended up losing track of time tonight doing this, though...still kicking myself for it, but it was relaxing.

No more doodling for me, though! I will WORK now.

stuff I did

from class a few days ago...sorry for the poor photo quality.

Monday's homework assignment that was due on Wed...I'm saying "I knew when I became genetically fused with a hairdryer that it would come to this..." the word bubble didn't work out so well. Doesn't help that charcoal pencil doesn't erase very good...

the full idea of it. Whit drew herself on the left, did myself on the right. I (very poorly) shopped them together. IRL they're separate pics with borders.

I've seen more nudity than you will in your entire lifetime.

20 min. I caught him when he was smiling at something the professor said (our Professor is pretty funny and tells us random, offtopic stories during class).




20 min. each.



1.5 hours w/ help in the beginning from the professor . You can tell he helped me because the head is not ridiculously small like usual. Makes me realize that I *REALLY* need to watch my head sizes...I tend to make them a little bit too small for some odd reason.

He'll Gobble You Up!

My character Wolf jumping in mid-transformation. He is NOT a werewolf...his power is turning into a wolf.

Photo Manips and such

We're currently studying photo manipulations in Photoshop CS3 in my CMPA110 (Advanced Survey of Computer Applications) class. Photoshop is just about the only thing I know how to use, so I'm trying to make this a good project since my other ones will not be so good.

We have to make 2 studies, then 2 big projects.

I'm pretty pleased with myself so far. Even though I was pretty good at photoshop already from just using it as an art application, I never considered myself too savvy when it came to photo manipulations or any of the stuff Photoshop is best known for. So, I think I've improved a lot in this aspect, thanks to the class.

study 1

X + Y+ Z

study 2
(still need to fix a few things...)

A + B + C + D



I'm going to continue the second further into my 2nd CMPA110 project.

Also, to any aspiring digital photo manipulators or wannabes out there:
MORGUEFILE.COM
is a great place to get stock images that have absolutely no copyright rules tying you down. I've used it for drawing studies in the past.

We also just finished a project in Illustrator, which has definitely grown on me. It's such a faster, easier way to digitally ink and color...and I'm really considering using illustrator for Villains and Vigilantes comics...only problem is I don't have Illustrator at home ):

I feel kinda guilty when I draw cartoons, which is why I limit them to "between class, stress reliever" doodles as of late:

(45 mins in PS @ 72dpi), my original character Anna in a yellow dress

Dino Punch refined

there's quite a few too many flaws for me to actually upload this to my DA :/ and I don't like it near as enough as the original sketch, anyway.

The weekend's over now, though...so I'm going to get back on doing some stuff from life. I think I'll draw a few more portraits and maybe some hands if I can in this coming week/weekend.

Fighting stuff PS doodles (~ 1 hour each)

The one of Hanten is really one of my favorite doodles so far :)
The one of Veil is not as successful because of the poor line quality.
