Last weeks assignment
Last week we worked on building up our characters by taking one of our thumbnails, adjusting its pose and finally filling in details. The biggest problem I had with this assignment was making the head (both helmet and face) look right. After having made a number of versions of the helm I realized that the problem probably lay in the design of the helmet. Eventually I managed to create one that I was somewhat satisfied with. This week however while […]

Christmas card
I made a christmas card for my father this week. I took the opportunity to practis my perspective drawing and anatomy. the setting is from memory of just down the hill from my dad’s farm. It was good practis to work with light, reflections and shadows.

Long time no see!
So… it’s been quite a while since I last updated this thing. I just happened to miss updating it once, and it’s amazing how easy it is to just keep forgetting after that.I guess I’m gonna try to make a little bit longer post to make up for it…
So, since last time I have started the next part in the university, after presenting our game concept that we made in the first period (Okay, I didn’t present it, but I […]

Weekly Report – 2013-12-01
Been easier to keep up with the assignment this week, basically refining what we started with at the first week. We were to choose one of the thumbnail samples to further develop into an almost full-fledged model while showing the process it underwent to completion. I like aiming high, so I made a close-up on the character’s face for the improved grades. Not that I expect to make it, but practice’s practice! It’s not like I have anything to lose […]

Rough sketch
This week went really bad!
We had to choose one of our thumbnails and develop that character in to a position and make a rough sketch out of it. This is what I manage to do this week. not really good drawing quality at all I know, but I redrawn the image like three/four times because sketchbook kept on crashing leaving no files or saves of my work on my computer what so ever, and forced me to start all over […]

My Bella Character Concept & First Digital Drawing
Thumbnail(s) which I picked.
End result.
I picked my Asian version of Bella because I got a clear impression of her personality and could easily apply a story to her.
I put her in a dynamic pose because I felt that it would portray her personality the best way possible. When I made this drawing I put a lot of attention on weight, angles and the movement itself. I put a lot of effort into drawing the hands and feet, […]

Creating characters
The pics below are the results of my work with character art this week. I’m still experimenting with textures and grey-scale, but it feels like I’m getting better at it. the reading for this week has put some useful perspectives in my way of thinking when it comes to drawing. especially about not copying like a illustrator, but instead capturing the essence of a pose or physical expression. So my next goal is to really work hard to get that […]

Studying on non-lecture time
I haven’t been writing much since lecture time didn’t feel like studies in the same way as free time studies but i’ll make sure start treating the two equally in terms of what i write on the blog.
Today i went down to the school to study and actually studied for longer than i had planned. turns out we had been making our Classes in the same .cpp file so i’ve been transferring pieces of code. I think i’m getting the […]

Positive thinking
I started thinking today about what Walt Stanchfield wrote in his book “Drawn to life : 20 golden years of Disney master classes” about a thing called “Osmosis”. It means that you can kind of manipulate yourself into a sort of way of thinking with subliminal messages;
“The conscious mind must be selective of the things that vie for one’s attention because it can only process one thing at a time. You could liken it to a telephone line where the […]

Weekly Report 2013-11-25
This report came out behind schedule, sorry for that! Short story is that I became so tired after handing in my homework for the week that I forgot to write it. Anyway, enough with the delays!
At the start of the week we were introduced to the methods of perspective involving visual guidelines in the form of grids. A repetitive and tedious endeavour to be frank, but the result is a most useful tool to help you with keeping any object […]

Perspective week
Hellu there!
This week we went through perspective and space. I’ve learned techniques for making different shapes in planes without losing the ratio of the shape. The toughest one to understand was the ellipse, and actually, I still don’t really get it and draw them most on feeling. (I have found some YouTube tutorials of drawing ellipses that I shall check out this weekend thou, to settle this once and for all, hehe)
Other than those murdering ellipses, perspective is something I […]
