Yang's Sketchbook

[yangdaniel027]

So I caught computer vision syndrome which resulted in bad headaches and strained eyes..I had to take 3 almost 4 days off from the computer and from doing art (which was probably the biggest pain out of everything)..but I also bought Gunnars which actually help quite a bit...moral of the story is to take care of your eyes everyone :)


Hmm...several things I'm learning I need to work on..for one I'm having difficulty making my characters and environments exist on the same plane. I think this is mainly a perspective problem as well as a scaling issue. It might just be a lack of practice but I can't seem to scale my environment and objects correctly around my characters.

Also I think I'm still going back to bad habits when it comes to painting making things more complicated than they need to be. I'm still a little bit stuck on "detailing" rather than indicating lights and forms, and going from large shapes to small shapes.

I abandoned the piece above because I couldn't find the kind of lighting references I needed. I wanted the light to be coming from the ground up, but I'm just not good enough at lighting yet to figure out how the forms and shapes would look like with an underlighting.

Anyways here's a new piece. I think I need a more thorough understanding of anatomy to get all the musculature correct. Just gotta keep on grinding.
