In-Progress shots

Not a lot spectacular today, folks - just a manga-doodle I did one night when seriously bored (also, I'm really bad at full side-on views, so it was also a little practise in that field). The other photo shows an in-progress piece I'm doing for my steampunk unit. I won't tell you what else I'll be doing with it, but I was pleased with this little picture-frame and its resident tea-stained sketch (again, done by me) so I figured I'd take a photo for future reference and upload.


*groan* In other news, I am currently in the midst of exams and I have an interview next Monday. That's really all that's going on with me right now (and pretty much all I'm focussing on). 'Till next time.

New Layout ...

... something a little more pleasant for the New Year. Also, have some steampunk art: a piece I did in 5 hours, for a mock exam. Because we're only a month or so into our new unit we couldn't do anything too elaborate.

So I did a little 'still life' and experimenting with lace, while explaining what I was to do after moving on from my initial preparation work:

Just a quick half-hour sketch

... steampunk aspects on a normal portrait, yay.



I still have to do some blending of the shades and for that I use a tiny paintbrush with just a dab of water (at least I know where the smudge will be going).

I've now moved onto my Unit 4 steampunk unit. I know it was going to be recycling, but it moved onto steampunk (that can have some aspects of recycling in it too). I've saved that many carrier bags, you wouldn't believe. @_@

I've been practising portrait work and anatomy more, and I'm seeing an improvement compared with my previous work. Unfortunately, RL studies has never been a strong suit of mine (even though it's the foundation to illustrating and drawing cartoons) but I realise it's still important to keep on top of, even if sometimes drawing spheres and cubes is annoying.


Till next time.
