Silhouettic

Hi there blog watchers! Sorry about the lack of new updates. I'm still working on speediness, but I've also been doing heaps of very dry and boring studies, which just really aren't that exciting to look at. I figure that if I'm not really enjoying doing them, they're probably not worth looking at. Anyways I digress.

So this new piece continues the same sketching style used in one of my last uploads. Each figure starts as a silhouette, just black paint on the digital canvas. This makes me focus on the overall shape and stops me focusing on all the intricate details, which of course comes later. It's been really great for coming up with more interesting designs, so I'll be sure to continue doing them in the future.

Soon I'll be uploading a new piece of work I did for a very good friend of mine, so look forward to that.

The hard road of self-teaching

Hey there everyone in internet land. I've decided to share a whole heap of stuff I've been doing in the last month. I hear you ask "so what is it?" Well to answer your heartfilled question:

I've been learning fundamental skills. It got to the point where I would never stick to practicing things like perspective, digital painting and lighting. So I went for my ultimate in desperate measures and made up a uni-like timetable. Now I'm doing 9 hours of study every week day and I'm pretty impressed with the results thus far. Just having a formal timetable set up really helps to keep me motivated. However don't take my word for it, check it out yourself! Below is a selection of work I thought was particularly good. Remember to look in the 'sketchbook' section for more stuff

Thanks for looking and see you next time, in a reality much like this one.
