Free Sketch

Had some Artist's block today. Whenever that happens I try to get as far away from what I was originally thinking and draw something else. For me it helps to draw without thinking and see what happens. This isn't for any class, just some random sketching. Thought I'd share.

Silhouette Assignment

Another assignment from Character and Object Design. The critiques from this class are really good. Everybody speaks up, shares ideas, points out flaws that need improving, etc. Which is great, because their work is good and they definitely know what they're talking about.

On the last day of class, we will present all the pieces that we've done. We have the opportunity until then to correct errors, push the design, make it better, so ideas and criticism are always welcome. That goes for everything I do though, so please feel free to comment whenever.

Anatomy Study

Quick Monster warmup sketches

Trying to push shapes in my Character design class. The Teach had us draw some shapes out, then gave us a theme (monsters). No erasing, just flow with whatever happens. It's a good little exercise, really gets the juices flowing.

Villain Concept Drawing for Sculpture

Concept for a villain I've been working on for awhile. My sculpting class is doing villains this quarter, so I thought I try this out.

Still working on a story for this guy. I really like Greek Mythology, and anything Sci-Fi-ish (Sci Fish?). Anyway, I'll try it out and see what happens.

Character and Object Design Assignment 1

Hi all! This is a character design assignment from my Character and Object Design class here at the Art Institutes. The project was to create three characters using basic shapes and basic colors.

I chose to do three bank robbers: Bags, Tommy, and Fingers. I feel it is important to give names to the characters we create. It helps us to better envision them, plus it allows us to keep track of them better.

Bags is blue, chubby, and looks like he'd be better off rolling from the cops rather than running.

Tommy is yellow, sure of himself, and spends way too much with alone with his gun... it's a little awkward at times.

Fingers is red, picks at things - especially locks, and he's pretty much evil. He's the brains of the outfit and despises his colleagues and curses his own top heaviness.
