CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - tienchi - 05-18-2016 Okay I am off to a late start but I am ready to give this a try.  It took me like forever to finally get something posted in here.  I am excited to start this challenge and will look forward in hearing back and learning from this community.  For this challenge I made a quick reference board with images I can get inspire to for this phase.  I did some notan sketches staying loose and thinking of interesting shape arrangement and story elements.  I have three in mind that I like but feel free to let me know which one you guys like. RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - Amit Dutta - 05-18-2016 Great job on joining and welcome! :) Man these notans are good, abstract and bold but still pretty readable. Don't have time right now to pick some favourites...but I will edit the post a bit later when I can. Great start! RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - tienchi - 05-20-2016 @ Amit Dutta - Hey thanks I'm glad I joined, this looks fun and it gives me another good reason to draw :) Its time for an update, I have some sketches I did in my sketchbook before I did the notan thumbnails.  Sry for not posting these first.   The figure and portrait was actually a live model both 20 minute studies from life drawing class. Some sticky notes stuff to help inspire my thoughts.  Just exploring right now and trying to figure out things.   I did some studies last few days using Google street view as my reference to hopefully help influence the final image.   Reference1  |  Reference2  |  Reference3 RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - kopper - 05-20-2016 Some solid brushstrokes and values in those studies. RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - Slapper - 05-20-2016 Love those studies and damn didn't think about using google street view for ref before. RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - Piotr Jasielski - 05-20-2016 These comps are great and studies as well, really! I love how you made brushstrokes with different colors on the rocks. Keep this up and good luck! RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - tienchi - 05-23-2016 @kopper @Slapper @Piotr Jasielski - Thanks guys!   This update, I work my three favorite comps and I am trying to refine some ideas to help me decide what I need to study.   RE: CC3 | Tien Chi WIP - tienchi - 05-24-2016  Whoa! Deadline is just around the corner...  Here are the last set of studies before moving to the final concept.  If my studies are not clear enough I am going with the second comp out of the three.
