Thanks so much! c:

Well... I totally didn't mean to fall off the face of the earth. My mom came into down and I basically didn't draw for that week, needless to say I didn't knock out those 60 pages in a week, but I did finish my sketchbook a week ago and got a much larger one which suits my sizing tastes much more.
I started drawing environments a little bit more, and then I stopped. =3=;

Here's some of the better sketches since last time, sorry about the terrible low-q loosely edited phone pics eAe;


Some of these are truly hard to look at, and I'm sorry... eAe;;; The red pencil I was using on somewhat yellowish paper really photographs poorly. I edited out a lot of pages because the image quality was just too bad, but some of them I wanted to share anyway.
I'm in two clothed figure drawing classes, so there's a lot of clothed figure from life.

I'm starting to learn ZBrush this semester, we've done two weeks of practice busts, here are the ones I like (in order of completion, not using alphas or fancy brushes.)






This is my first character of the semester, Altan:


She's a young Mongolian girl who, through a series of events ends up aging at the excruciatingly slow pace of one human year over the course of five hundred. Over 5000 years of history, she ages from 3 to 13. This is a costume design class and the idea is to combine historical costumes from different cultures during similar time periods, this is just the initial character rough and I'll be doing the first costume design this week.

As far as stories go, I'm developing and concepting characters and props from The White People by Arthur Machen. I'm really excited! Starting the thumbnailing this week as well.

Besides this stuff, I'm also trying to keep up on my anatomy/figure studies, and I'm also doing a bit of Scott Robertson's How To Draw exercises. I'm learning Autodesk Sketchbook and Corel Painter now, I'm actually quite incontent with my art as a whole and I'm trying to change up a lot of the old stuff I'm used to doing... a series of events led to me losing my copy of photoshop, and while there are a lot of options to continue using it I kind of think of it as an overpriced and overrated program, especially as far as painting and drawing goes. I'm hoping that getting some air on digital programs might also help me explore art and maybe learn to paint and render better.
