Atelier update

2011-01-29T10:20:00.001-08:00

Some work done at school over the last couple of months. All done in the mirror with acrylic, the drawings are charcoal.
I try to get some basics down but the head is extremely difficult to start with, perhaps the most difficult. I'm probably going to work on basic shapes between work to get the technique better as I'm frustrated with the difficulty of painting heads.

Atelier at school.

Start of a self portrait done in the mirror. I will upload the result soon.

I tend to do batman doodles when I'm bored. Done in ballpoint pen.

Quick update on a small experimental movie I did for class. Shot with a Nikon D90 and made in Final Cut Pro.

Just to update something. A few sketches while doodling online with http://www.twiddla.com/

I will prolly update more often in the coming months, I know I've said this before:), I almost only work traditional now and I'll try taking pictures of my paintings and sketches.

A random drawing. Hopefully more stuff to show in the next coming months.

Lifedrawings

2010-01-21T14:39:00.000-08:00

These are some lifedrawings I did about a year ago, about time I uploaded these.
I tried out different methods of approaching drawing the figure, I have a better idea now where I want to go.

From memory.

Few tutorials

I like to help people out if I can find some spare time. Here are some tutorials I did.

Industrial design concept sketches 2

2009-01-21T04:08:00.000-08:00

The last one is from imagination, I used I bit of perspective to get the elips a bit at a correct angle. The others from ref.
It is pretty difficult to draw just a bunch of stuff without making it to messy and still maintaining some idea of functionality. I'm also trying to think about complex shapes vs simple shapes, just to keep it more interesting and simple shapes for the eye to rest.
I'm gonna do these traditionally if I can, some lines and elipses are hard to draw on a wacom.

Stuff I'll go over in the next weeks/months are form follows function, design principles, finishing sketches, storytelling through shapes and rendering.

Edit: I should have made clear what these studies are. Most of them are engine parts of the space shuttle.

Industrial design concept sketches

2009-01-19T07:15:00.000-08:00

First sketches are from reference to process the real life information. Second sketch is from imagination. These are just some exercises to feed my imagination.

I'll upload the traditional work soon.

Bargue study

2008-12-01T14:38:00.000-08:00

My first bargue drawing, still some hours to go. Extremely difficult to get it exactly right, the whole front is a bit off. I'm to far in to correct everything.

Those curves are so subtle and I noticed I always exagerate it a bit. I have to triple check everything next time before I start the final line drawing. Anyway, great practice to measure more correctly with your eyes.

Practice

2008-11-26T05:42:00.001-08:00

Started out as a perspective study for a head from imagination. I still need to study the planes of the skull and features more in depth though.

Life drawings

2008-11-26T05:23:00.000-08:00

Couple of life drawings. Some are 2min, others are around 8min. Just focusing on gesture a bit and trying out different approaches. Very crucial fase in a good lifedrawing so this is where my focus will be before getting into form and value.

Another head doodle

2008-11-06T07:17:00.000-08:00

Head doodle in photoshop, started with a sketch and tried to push it a bit further. Need to learn some drapery too.

I'm doing anatomy studies most of the time right now, I'll upload some sketchbookpages somewhere next week.

Btw, me and Piru are organizing a sketchmeet in Ghent december 13th. Be sure to check out this thread.

I intended to use this blog for traditional work mostly, once I get my scanner hooked up I'll post sketches and studies soon.
