A wizard is never late

So far my winter break has consisted of silly Gandalf and dwarf drawings. Beards, so many beardsss! The Hobbit definitely renewed my love for Middle Earth.

 Study from a photo of Rodin. An almost attempt at rendering.

Hands are my kryptonite, uff. Referenced off a photo.

photo ref

trials

Continuing the pain and suffering that is photoshop. My hand and brain aren't co-operating.

more messing around... playing with brushes and settings, and the lovely Devon Aoki without her wonderful freckles.

experimenting

Found the wonders of smudge tool and dual brush! Unfortunately my figure drawing is on the decline since the semester ended.

speedpaint

yeeee. photo ref'd. Lighting is tricky business and I'm reaally bad at figuring out what brush/brush settings to use.

practicing

Rough as you can get, super quick photo ref'd, 15 mins? Just threw down. I need to start doing more of these, it's quite relaxing.

 Some more practice, still working it. I'm still pretty new to digital painting, but I love the undo button. Skintone! ugh.

Summer Sketchbook

Two posts, one night... yeaaaaa

These are pages from my summer sketchbook, which has been... a challenge. Just have to remember, it's all about the process.

Spring Semester

It's over! I learned a LOT this semester. Excited to be moving forward and learn more.

first post!!

yaaaaay. Here is a naked man.
