A W.I.P. Short...By Me!

I'm responsible for everything except for the textures that make up the environment...(I created the design and put the textures together to create the environments).

...something I'll definitely be coming back to finish in my free time!

Printbook Stuff

I've been meaning to put together a printbook for some time now, so I decided to go through some old sketchbooks and make a doodle page. These are all from when I was a freshman/sophomore--I'd like to have a printbook page for every year of art school.

...the goose is my favorite.

Experimenting w/ color...

Train Sketches!

I think I discovered my new cta hobby.
She's lookin' a little manly...and the exaggerated headphone chord was a bit much...
But this is tons of fun!

Park Sketch

One of my fellow caricature artists was busy drawing a customer...so i drew him! I did this one in a few minutes time on 12x16" paper w/ permanent marker. Fun!

More Classwork!

Movin' along, struggling w/ color...as usual.

If I were an animal...

The internet says I'd be a salmon. I wanted to see what I might look like in salmon form, so I did this in class yesterday, with my new choose-colors-and-go kind of process. It's interesting--"Jordan" means river or water, and now the internet is saying I'm a salmon!

Liked the process...not a fan of the sketch, tho.

Here's the "what animal am i?" quiz:

Napkin Sketch

I think I'll be doing more of these regularly while on break at work. I did a few more, but my coworkers had claimed them before I could snap a picture!

A Color Study

I referenced some colors from a piece by Brett Bean, one of my new favorite artists. His stuff is great; his use of color really inspires me. Here's his blog:

Haunched, Proud, God who may or may not be a Dwarf

For Bret Bean's randomly generated character blog:

...can you guess why he's holding Pluto, specifically???

Some Classwork

I'm in charge of painting the backgrounds for a team project--18 backgrounds, to be exact. These are WIP's of the most important backgrounds.

Speedpaints

I was into this for a little while...good for warm-ups and procrastinating. A great habit to get into, speedpainting!
