More sketchbook stuff

Some more sketchbook stuff from my second semester. A lot of these are put up to show progress (once I start posting more current work) and show the process I go through to get to some of the more finished pieces I've done.

Awesome cg animation

I found this neat little animation over at CartoonSmartBlog, done by Mike Winkleman from Beeple. It looks gorgeous in full-screen HD, I highly recommend enlarging from this tiny screen.

Here's a couple drawings I did for my Tone, Color and Composition class during my second semester.

The following are thumbnails and reference images I did for a final for this class, a self-portrait as a game or other fictional character.

The last one is the pencils for the final painting I did in acryllic. Below are progress pictures from the process. It still isn't my favorite, by a long shot, but it's kind of fun looking back at the process I went through for this stuff. A year later, though, I really, really wish I could re-do this. So many problems.

Unfortunately (or maybe not) I don't have a copy of the final, but it is basically the face out in and a few color corrections. Looking back at this, I should have paid a lot more attention to the light, the gun flares and the reference, and bounced the light around a lot more, reflecting the color of the armor into the skulls and back, the green of the environment onto the armor and not used as much black and worked in more dark desaturated tones. And ideally, used oils instead of acrylic.

More older art

Here's some anatomy studies I did for my human anatomy class during my second semester.
