Heads from Friday uninstructed workshops. I wanted to show what my skill level is on my own and how I evolved dramatically with this school.
Quicksketches, 20 Minute Lay-ins, 2.5 hour drawing and some Master Studies in there. I don't know how to take pictures ablooo.
All done at Watts Atelier
Also some bugs yaaay.

Good stuff. Absolutely all of it was fantastic. The skull cubes are brilliant. I could look at an entire gallery of those.
Hiking Essentials
Iruka-Hahaha thanks ;w;bbb I hope to get to render some stuff out for Dominance War coming up!
GodFather- Yeauh it's the Frank Reilly method it's super cool to draw with.
Earthwormadam- Fahaha ;w; N-no that roof can stay where it is at it is probably happier and snug. But ahh nice to see your still around!
Ninjai- WHAT SCANDOLOUS RUMORS!?
Hahah thanks ;w; I hope to do more of the skull studies
Obilex- Hahah thanks!
Naked Zergling- Hopefully soon! I'll be doing an Illustration to my concept piece for Dominance War V. It starts March 5th I believe? But I've done tons of rendered out stuff for work, sadly NDA's
It's also great to have someone so skilled attend Watts. I promise I will start taking classes again soon so you can know the truly great feeling of having me in your class.
P.S. Loomdun's camera isn't cutting it. I am happy to shoot your work for you if you want to walk up here after class some time.
I'm curious what makes your second term drawing skills better than your first?
Is is mainly better understanding of form and expressing volume? Your skills are way beyond mine, but I wouldn't mind having something to shoot for.
in the little landscape that cloud feels really close and thick, its also about the exact same size as the island so it feels a little awkward. I dig it tho..
So jealous.
You should probably ask this in the questions thread, but I think this is what you're talking about.
Jesus fucking christ
just
just stop it
you better come to SDCC now because these are too fab and you have killed me
god
ughhhhhhh
so
good
Oh gooooddd it will be awesome to see you there again haha!
I...i..might take you up on this offer at the end of term haha.
Nibcrom-Thanks Nib I think doing what the teachers tell me to do and getting used to the pencil. Usually best course of action. Also studying in my spare time helped a lot.
Life studies are the best way to go for studying form and volume. It's as 3d as you can get!
cardboard delusions-There are quite a lot of books out there, like Michael Hamptons Figure and Invention or Bridgman and what not. And just grinding it out everyday and think about what your doing, what your lines/tones are achieving when you put them down as well. Is it a good line and does it define what I'm trying to convey?
If its a bad line then why is it a bad line? Did my knowledge of anatomy fail? Did I measure wrongly? Is my comparative measurement working? Just thinking about -what- your doing helped a ton too. Because it helped me locate weaknesses faster and make little study plans around what would help strengthen it.
pineappleherb- Thanks so much ;w;bb
F87- Thanks so much. Hope that photobucket helps!
Ken- Hahah thanks I hope to make even more when I am taking classes at CGMW for environments whenever there next term is.
Flay- Hahaha Flay ;w;bbb
Koch- I might not make this year due to jobs and being in Dallas. BUT MABBE I HOPE.
DDV- People brilliantly kicking my ass everyday and showing that I have so much to learn? Gotcha!
rfilyaw- hahah thanks ;w;bbb
My sister lives there and I haven't seen her in over a year cause of Toronto distance. I'll be home for the rest of this year at least, it'd be fun to catch up!
holy shitting balls I love these!
(hello ee-cog-ay how you is)
Ken- CGMW are online classes which look prettty cool so trying an environment one to help my skill set. I'll PM you back soon with some stuff tomorrow, been crazy busy with work and school.
Metalbourne- Not sure I'll research into it and get some links for you soon though.
Pthano- I will collect on this one day.
Tam- Hahah thanks! I'm gearing up for Dominance War V and also starting on a pet project on making a mock videogame. Trying to decide on a lighthearted cartoon style one or a more grown up realistic one.
I'll talk to you about it next time I see you.
And thanks Campion!
Also I posted up the new Watts Atelier schedule here guys you should check it out- http://www.conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=212008
But these really are quite good. I think I've learned a few things just by looking at them. What materials are you using to shade the figures, charcoal?
Om nom got sealed up underground and with all the noise from above he has finally awoken again. And with the battlefields are splayed out like a all you can eat buffet now he is just going to town. His tendril spikes break off and regenerate so he doesn't end up singeing himself in his acidic cauldron of a tummy.
I'll post more silhouettes next time I kind of just made this guy on the fly to get warmed up for the competition.
Next sketch I'm going to do is going to be based on these things.
Also, I love the shapes you use to construct your figure drawing studies. Is that a Watts thing that's rubbed off on you or your own. They look like 3D puzzles, with each part locking into the next.
