Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Warburton: Read that as "You fucking suck at them!" I was like

Aww...



back to practice....

Haha thanks dude. YOu should definitely check out that 3D stuff man. Its a bit of a hassle to learn but so worth it. It does help speed things up and I can see ways to use it in more and more places as I get a bigger library of saved files.

Diet and exercise is harder than drawing -__-

Smrr: Thanking you :D I agree, I probably should leave it out.. stop putting stupid shit in my enviro's lol xP

Hypnagogic: The paper? I have absolutely no idea to be honest. I found it under my bed when I was moving last time. Its old. Like real old.. at least 15+ years lol. I use a combination of finger, blending stump and shammy, what ever gets the job done.

Meat: Thanks meat :D "Fading in and out of the paper" usually means for me "Didn't have the confidence of time to do it properly" xP I completely agree with the who traditonal vs digital in plein air, it took me about 10% of the time I spent out side colour correcting once I got inside because all the values are out. I am not sure whether it is a short coming of the medium or my lack of skill with it though so I want to try it some more before I decide. (Plus, I HAVE NO IDEA HOW TO WATERCOLOUR)

Alright, pretty crap couple of weeks. I didnt update last week because me, Smrr and Skeptical went to an anime convention. Which was entertaining to say the least. Then I have gotten sick, death in the family and my part time work hours got pushed up because my boss tried to get himself killed on a dirt bike -_- 55 year old man learning to ride a dirt bike. I don't even.

It looks like quite a bit though, so I guess I might be getting faster? (or the quality has just gone down....

Colour and light home work














Some thumbnails to work into more finished pieces:




Worked on two of them (both had 3D bases)
Adding colour to one of them.


Finished sort of other thumbnail (had to change a fair bit due to me being a dumbass)


Two spit paints I did at some point. Cant remember the topics lol.



Some pics from my sketchbook. There was a life drawing session at the anime expo, they were pretty short poses (30 min and 10min) for doing detail, but too long for doing quick sketches -_- right in the annoying time frame.
I also went to a coffee shop to get some time out alone and did life drawing there which is where the rest of the heads come from.






Another 3D enviro, this was a bit longer. I think I spent around 7hrs on this.


Half of the life drawing from the last two weeks. I forgot a sketchbook somewhere.. Which If I don't find it I will be one sad panda.
