Unit3: CG Artists Toolkit- Week1

During this lesson We have done quick poses which could be seen in number 1, and longer poses (15min) in which I have tried to do something different (Number3,4) using straight lines which gives a sort of expressionistic cubic look.

CG Artist's Toolkit: Photshop (week1)

This lesson was very interesting, I really enjoyed it. We went through the basis of digital painting on photoshop( using Photoshop interface, shortcuts, different brushes and applying textures on the painting.
The idea of painting without using outline gives pretty nice results.

I have tried to express some of the descriptive information I have gathered from my two stories into digital painting, it is just my first attempt though.

I tried to express a look of magic, fantasy and mystery which is relevant to my story titled The Magic Shop, considering light colours and smooth brushes in a limited time.

 One my second painting, there is a touch of horror, fear and darkness using clouds, old trees and dark colours.

I will keep practising on my thumbnails using the descriptive information from my stories to improve my digital painting and produce final pieces for my project.

CG Artist’s Toolkit: Life Drawing Week1

Last year during my Foundation course I have had untutored life drawing lessons once a week.
It was pretty challenging as I had to rely on online tutorials to make progress.

It is very helpful to understand the human anatomy and the body movement in animation. For that reason, I will make the most of it.

Below are 3 images of my first week life drawing session.

* First image: 20 minutes pose.

* Second image: quick poses, less than 2minutes - I enjoy drawing dynamic poses because it gives the drawing an energy and you can feel a dynamism.

* Third image is about focusing on the model and the space surrounding the body.
