Thumbnails

Composing images in general is a real challenge for me so I sat down tonight and did some rough thumbnails to try and solve some problems I'm having.  Didn't get much accomplished...I have a hard time getting into and "environment" mindset.  I'm hoping doing lots of these quick thumbnails will eventually help me get over this hurdle.  Or maybe I'll refine them a little more...I don't know.

Life Drawing

Here are some life drawings from the past couple of weeks.  I've been trying to find a better way to post these since my life drawing sketchbook is way too big for my scanner.  For now, I took pictures with my phone...

3CH

This is a rough sketch from a 3CH topic for our school blog.  I 'll probably just shit can this.  My original idea was something dynamic and interesting... and I pump out this headshot :(  I'm going to go back and thumbnail some ideas and hopefully learn something about composing an interesting illustration.

I was given a black and white reference so I had to invent the color myself.  12 X 14ish Acrylic on Illo board

I had a hard time trying to get this one to read correctly.  Live and learn

Gestures

Here are some gestures from school.  1, 2, and 3 minutes

Doodles

Here are some doodles and a creature sketch.

Studies

Here are some hour or so studies done from the movie "Hitman".  I learned a lot doing these.  I have a problem getting lost in the details and quick studies like these force me to ignore most of the detail.

Large Dump

Need to get some substance in here so I'm posting some of my digital stuff.  All done within the last six months and in no particular order.

Ok, I have a blog for some reason.

I plan to use this as my sketchbook so anything I do I will post on here... good or bad.  I'll start off with my traditional painting from school.  All are done with acrylic paints and in no particular order.
