philophana update

Simone wanted these dream sequence images to have a comic book feel to them and BOY do the clip studio brushes deliver.

as the images became more refined i couldn't help but feel a bit nostalgic for when i was in art college getting my degree, looking through comics that inspired me to become an artist

Arthur line refernce sheet

this first set of reference images are coming along and i was selfish today and focused only on these images.

the first set is for structure only.  how i want to consistently draw his head when in a "flat light" 

next will be to ink different lighting and effects.  then i will do a body rotation (just standing) with similar angles.  that rotation can double as a mannequin for costumes of multiple characters.

that way when im drawing characters and need to...

triceragation update

now i can ink most the pages.

on a side note i changed my plan with Adobe and that meant my copy of CS 6 was no longer valid so i had to get one of the tech people to show me where i could download CC 2018 which is the last compatible version for  WIN 8.1 pro 

i have 8.1 because windows usually limits the amount of RAM it will allow and i have 40 gigs i want to have access too and 8.1 pro allows for that

zebra texture

most the day was spent on fixing this texture.  it will take a few more days because i need to layer the "fur texture" up and the texture is Asymmetrical so i can't use the symmetry tools

quick renders

i made a few renders of our zebra lady to test her out and to have more stuff to post on other sites while i put more focus on getting peak wulf and triceragation done so i can put a lot more effort into bald monkey: the Asylum contract

now draw it 100 times

so i tried to do EVERYTHING today and ended up not doing much at all.

there is a lot more freedom with freehand drawing, just like there is a lot of consistency with paint over drawing.

i then remembered a lesson from most my teachers and art tutors that you need to "draw it 100 times"  which is more about just keep studying the forms and practicing until it becomes second nature 

i remember feeling that was daunting and terrifying to the point i did not want to do...
