Jaik's Sketches & Thoughts

[Jaik]

Thanks JeanDoe :D

Old masters are def on teh cards Cracked, its just they deserve more time, and until I get into the routine, I don't have that at the moment :(

Do it mann, its really good for learning :)

You are right Archreux, I feel like to much of my processing power was taken up by the 3D side and it didnt leave any to consider the other aspects of art.

Hey Ben, the learning curve is rough, but it very quickly ramps up to being easy to use. Obviously it depends on the software, but its the 80/20 rule, you use 20 percent of the tools most of the time.

This week, no 3D :( (Hopefully change that this week)

CGMA course started so have been working on that, Colour and Light is good, but I think I underestimated where I am at in my artistic growth because its not really all that new. But reinforcing the fundamentals is always a good idea!

Week 1 Homework - Different lighting Keys


Tryign to apply High key. Didnt quite get it, but only spent an hour on it.


3hr Enviro


Study


Application


Studies (These were so much easier than the last time I did them. Got the colour withing the first ~3 tries, instead of taking 2-3min per damn colour.


1hr Sketch trying to apply some things I learnt from the colour studies.


Study before life drawing to learn how the hell charcoal worked


Application at life drawing








And a digital plein air sketch of the water near my house. Looking forward to getting much better at these so that they are worth showing. But I wanted to put my first one here as a reference point for the future :P
