Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Thanks Sula :D

Cracked: I hear that. If only it was a linear journey and every piece is better than the last lol.

Thanks Corey! Working on it :P

Lyra: Thanks :) The longest poses I get in those sessions are about 20min. Once a month there are full 2.5hr poses, but so far I have manged to screw up most of those (The last one is the one in my small moleskine-style sketchbook. And thanks for picking up on that mountain, I changed it a little after seeing your comment :D

So once again a little less this week. Still kind of happy with my output all things considered. My computer hated me for most of the week (USB will randomly turn off and require a complete restart at the switch, computer freezes completely, corrupting files) I lost 2-3 mornings of work because of this. But I have reflashed the BIOS (twice, because the first time I flashed the wrong revision.. -__-;;) and it seems to have stablilized. The USB problem still happens but I think it may be a USB 3.0 issue since my research turned up a lot of people with similar problems. I think I may have to roll back the USB drivers to 2.0 and just loose my 3.0 speeds :(

Oh and I also missed out a day because I went to a shooting range :D:D first time I ever shot a gun, was kind of cool but I was too tall for the tether (since I dont have my gun license this was a must, stupid Australian bureaucracy) so I couldn't aim properly :(

So all in all a pretty good week.

Playing with value and shape for all of about 20min. I suck at edges and value is weak so..


Here is the last of the anatomy stuff. With this week done I finished all of the muscles of the body. Surface ones at least. I now have faces, hands and feet left and thats it. But that will still take a large amount of time. And I want to change my methods because I am no longer sure the method I just used was effective, but experimentation is for learning just as much as it is for art styles etc.










Update on that enviro. Did some traditional sketches with architecture that I have misplaced but will probably add next week.
