Speed practice

Another DS doodle. Based loosely on a picture of a friend. S'okay I guess.

Experiment of the night

Some experiments end up working great (see Ironman below) Some other times, this happens. Not really happy as to how this was coming out so…maybe it’s the palette? Eh, moving on.

Optimus Prime

Does it look like it’s made out of trash? No? Good, cause it’s not supposed to (take note, Michael Bay)

I started this some time last night, but then I stopped and went out. Today I was looking at it and I really dont feel like working on it anymore. Meh.

Odin speed-painting

A quick speed-painting of Odin, done on the DS. So I’m supposed to be drawing a storyboard for my thesis animation, instead I did this. Who’s that responsible guy walking over there?? NOT ME.

So I downloaded the last version of Colors! for the Nintendo DS that ever came out. I'm re-discovering the love for speed painting on the go. It's like having an adorable mini-cintiq. This will do til I sell my soul to Apple and get an iPad/stylus combo in a few months (cause finger painting? So primitive)

quick study

Umm, never been good at painting, picking the right colors, or speed.. I rendered this in about 2 hours, 2:30 maybe. Instead of going the B&W value route first, I jumped straight to color. It's hard, and I probably picked a hard ref picture. But I did learn a few things from this. Hopefully it's a step in the right direction.

Sketchbook

This was off a video clip of a woman throwing a sheet around. I paused it in selected frames and gave myself between 1-3 minutes before letting it play again. It was a good speed exercise, which I need more practice on.

A bit more progress on the Ursula redesign. Made a tighter pencil sketch to get a better grip on this. I sorta messed up on the perspective of the tentacle on the left, but I'll fix that up once I get on the coloring stage.
