Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Thanks Cam :P

Thanks Tygerson, I'm glad because that was the exact feeling I was going for. And I'm glad the spoons came out well.

Lyraina: Yeah I think that everyone should find the material that works best for them (which is kind of the most expensive route lol). Variety and always challenging yourself is a good way to avoid the mindless practice problem.
I am just trying to see colours better, work on my values, form and reflectivity as well as try and figure out relationships between things. I changed it up this week though xP

Okay so this week, there wasn't a lot going on. But I did manage to finish bloodsports #2 in time. Which was an improvement over the first one (where I went a couple of days over)
I also launched my website in its most basic form. Its kind of broken in a couple of areas (for example I tried to do a sketchbook post and none of the images are showing up...... and I don't know why -____- ) but those sort of things will be fixed over time. Ship then iterate.

Gestures


Figures without ref.


Pelvis Study (not completed, there are still some different view I want to do)


Leg Study (Same as pelvis)


My spoon still lifes (only did two again :( ) and I tried a magenta globe out for my light source. The top one still had the florescent over head light on, and the bottom was purely the globe. This created some interesting colour effect.


Mushroom study for the swamp elder piece.


Swamp elder final piece. Kind of happy with it, I like seeing the improvement between this one and the last one. There are still some things I don't know whether I hit. Like is the old man in a style that matches with the rest of the image or does it stick out that he is stylised? I tried to do a low key value painting, is this how it is done or was I way off.


An Update to the itachi piece, I tried to get him looking a bit more feminine and the eyes to sit better in the head. Still not quite there yet but closer than before.


Life drawing from 2 weeks ago, because I forgot to upload it last week. There are more, but these are just the ones that look semi-decent or that you can even work out what I was doing lol.




This weeks life drawing. Same deal.
