Royal Winter Fair 2013 - Animal drawings

I think (I hope) I'm slowly getting better at animals aaaahhh I will work hard!!!

Layout dump




1/3 of first layout assignment; we were given these fantastic tonal thumbnails
to work from and tweak a little! Super fun getting to draw castles//

2/3 ;

3/3

These two were our latest assignment and focused more on research-- I really enjoyed drawing the galleons !!

And a quick 20 minute study for our next assignment 8 ) 

Day and Night paintings

Did this one first and liked how it came out a lot more than the day time one sighs. Both took about 7-8 hours each day of the weekend lmao.

I used a different method of blocking the colours in semi opaquely and then building from there since the fog covered some things and so it ended up less opaque and more..gross........

Flash

In which I prove that I can actually sort of animate???? Laughs I'm just too lazy to upload any of the other-- animations................

Laughs quietly to myself
First time in Flash sighs

Somewhat late end of year layout dump

Ahhh these were all so rushed (sorta minus the pan but even that is super sketchy ;__;) Gotta work harder this semester!! There were also more but they were just old in class exercises so they were pretty gross too v__v;;

Still Life Gouache Paintings

Study was done before my trip-- my mom had some really nice, weird looking paperweights and I'm so frustrated I chose that because it's not at all recognizable. Also the scan and shadows came out weird.
I'm so embarassed about the final one because I had to finish it in the weekend I came back so it was ummm a total of around 7-8 hours? The cloth was supposed to be white and lacey. So I kind of-- made it up. Pretty happy how the candle and the candle holder came out though?? One step at a time I guess /sighs

Also first time this whole year using opaque style of painting but I found if I mixed enough colour, that it wasn't so bad!! (Until I needed brown. Jesus it's hard to make variations of brown.)

Also is anyone having troubles just uploading files from your computer files or anything?? It says I can upload jpg, png and whatever else but there's no upload button or anything 8'( (Maybeit'sbecauseofIE.)

Cool and Warm Studies

Look at me trying to be all productive HAAHahaha--
Uhh 15-20 minute one layer colour sketches in Photoshop (for once). It first started with trying to make a cool looking desert but yeah-- instead of cheating and playing with multiply and overlay and other effects I actually colour picked everything by hand which was a first for me! Definitely gotta work on it, but baby steps!
Funny how I'm not even using these ones for the final painting HA H A H  A  ....
