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.

Life Drawings

 

 

 Just an assortment of life drawings from the semester thus far, ranging from 30 seconds to 5 minutes. The model is pulling a scarf that is around her neck in this last one, in case that is unclear. Below is a skeleton drawing of an aye-aye I did at the ROM some weeks ago.

Painting

Below is our first painting assignment, which includes three color studies, a tonal, and the final painting. The small color studies and final painting were done in gouache, and the tonal was done in marker and white pencil crayon. I have to get back into the swing of painting as I am a bit out of practice.

Having finished most of the assignments that were due this week, I decided to use my free time to do a portrait. This here is a cousin of mine, which now makes the third portrait of a cousin I have put up on this blog, haha.

Character Design

This was completed for a character design assignment. The design will be used in my next animation, which involves a character lifting a heavy object and then throwing it. I don't think I was completely successful with the posing aspect of this assignment...I'm not sure if it looks like the object (a pot) is truly heavy, or if the character just seems to be faking her reaction to holding it. Regardless, I do like how this character has turned out - it will be interesting to see her animated.
