Week Old Humanities sketch!

Caved in again with the whole Paul Richard's thing. They're just fun to do, I can't really think of any other reason no matter many times I've posted these. Also a poorly drawn eyeball with accompanying disembodied head that I was checking head proportions with. On the right you can catch some random scribbles I did to help a friend with his composition homework for another class.

Art History Strikes Back

Colored it up. I think this style of painting only lends itself to drawings like this. Too much definition in the drawing and the way you paint highlights and such loses its effect. Also a lack of big broad shapes helps. Added the lightning because she just felt like she was casting some sort of spell. Setting a brush to color dodge really makes doing energy-like stuff easy to do.

This really makes me want to get some cotton candy or something. Also, I seem to have broken past 2k pageviews on my blog here. I know those can't all be me, so thanks to all you anonymous visitors :)

Art History Returns

I tried out Paul Richards style again (No reference this time), which I really really enjoy doing. Its oddly relaxing haha. Anyways again this was done in Art History. It feels a little less detailed than when I had reference, it could also be because I didn't get around to do a quick shadow pass with my mechanical pencil. Looking forward to seeing if I can paint this up like last one, or see if that style was a random fluke caused by my lack of sleep. Also... random troll monster head, dunno why I did it.

Lilith Colored

Just couldn't stop after I did a quick greyscale. I've been going nuts drawing lately, maybe I've unlocked my inner potential? Most likely, I think I've lost some semblance of my sanity. (Or maybe it's the fact I haven't slept in over 48 hours.) No animator, concept artist I've ever met has seemed well... stable haha. Maybe that's why they can crank out all the cool stuff we see?

Paul Richards Style Test

Was looking over Paul Richard's work on Darksiders, and I felt like trying to see if I could nab his style. I believe the concept was for the character Lilith, who didn't make it in game. Took me awhile to get a feel for, but I think I got some of it down. A lot of transitions from small to large, and curves... lots of them. Also drawing the rough-in quickly to get a strong sense of flow and gesture. Then it's just refining from there I thinks. Finished it up in my Art History class tonight, and as an added bonus real notes are being taken for once haha.
