Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Lyraina: Totally applied your crit to that angry face but forgot to upload it =/ I did listen! I swear D: The shadow crit really did help set it on the face, was an instant improvement, thanks!
As for the thumbnails I just splotched paint on, I had no idea what I was doing, I think next time I may do a few lines, but working straight into shapes is quite liberating.

Anzhou: Yeah those 3 values really needed more pushing, I could blame the paints, but I probably was more to blame, I think its a blow back from just smearing on paint. I need to do more deliberate practice.

Was going to complain that I couldn't do much this week since I was sick the last 3 days but when I was tallying up the work, turns out to be about normal.. So no complaints here, maybe I can do even better this week :D

Working away at things, trying to get a couple of strong portfolio pieces together.

On a side note, I discovered Trello, which is a to do list manager and it works great. I'm really going to try and apply it in the next week or so but at first glance its very intuitive. See how it goes :)

Visual Library: Japanese Architecture



And some more.



WIP of this piece (Been a while since I updated I think) A friend pointed out the face is too long/too big, so shrinking down the jaw line will help with that. Let me know if anyone spots anything though :)



Gestures, the last few were trying to be more dynamic. I think they are getting worse..



Drapery studies because I didnt do enough last week.



Happy for Suzannes class.



A figure study I thought of doing, left is from an image, whereas right is trying to draw a male in the same sort of position.. Surprisingly hard and made me realise I need to revisit the differences again..



Character design WIP



Longer gestures



Face for the character design, also tried to make it contempt for suzannes class. Failed so hard at that expression just like last time. Also tried a different way for shading.
