Maya

This is the second thing I've modeled in Maya since having started a 3d modeling class this semester - the first thing being a simple fruit bowl. Of the 6 hours worth of classes I've had thus far, I've really enjoyed them. I may even venture to say that despite how early on it is in the semester, this is one of my favorite classes. I'm hoping that that is something that will remain true even as we delve into creating more complicated models.

This is a portrait I did of a cousin a couple weeks back, which I wasn't able to scan until now. Even though there are a couple of things I don't like about it, I'm glad I was able to fit in doing a portrait during break!

Eskimo Girl

The majority of my attempts at sketching with my tablet over the past few years have always not turned out very well. However, after changing a couple of settings on my tablet a few days ago, I've discovered that I can actually semi-decently sketch with it. Painting has been easy enough so long as I had a scanned in image, but I'm excited that I can actually begin sketching directly into my computer without my drawing looking terrible!

Painting & Layout

Above is my layout, tonal, and final painting (done in gouache) for one of my painting assignments. The stones on the back wall were a last minute decision, which is why they aren't in the line drawing. Below is a layout I did weeks ago for my layout class. I decided to give a go at digitally painting it, mainly because digital painting is something I would like to improve on, and the only way for that to happen is to practice. :)

Photos & Sketches

I would probably consider Autumn to be my favorite season; I love when the leaves change color. Above are just two random photos I took on a walk a couple weeks ago. Below are a few sketches I did in downtown Oakville. I really need to start drawing from life more, so this is my start at that. This is essentially my first time going out and drawing buildings. I assume I will get better at it as I practice more. I much prefer doing these kinds of sketches as opposed to cafe sketches of people, which I suppose ties into how I really enjoy layout, but not so much character design.
