matte painting process...

Took a matte painting course which I loved.This is one of the projects charted from beginning to end, where the requirement was an extension of an existing urban scene. Maybe a bit on the boring side to look at, but it was fun to do.

guess which film?

concept sketch...

This was irrelevant when I produced it a while back, but it's ended up being assimilated into a current project in development (for now!).

SEQUENTIAL ART...

In the spirit of the last post...

Here are a selection of beat boards I completed for Janelle Monae's Many Moons video, which I'm sure I can safely post. This treatment was discarded because of budgetary reasons, and I only did a few for what would eventually be the finished product, which you can see here.

batman color script images...

From a class project. We storyboarded an entire sequence from the animated series..then took 6 random panels and added color.

some quickies...

more...

Sketchbook stuff...

I usually don't like my sketchbook drawings, because they are mostly initial scribbles of ideas and such which are embarrassingly ugly. I liked these ones though..

Edit of an earlier sketch...

Thanks Matt for the suggestion on this. The whole sketch is a little too halo-ish, but oh well.

process...

Here's a little process description I put together for some of my classmates at AAU. It tracks a technique for creating environments I learned from Scott Robertson...so all credit belongs to him. Essentially the process involves finding little abstract compositions and then trying not to screw them up as you define them a bit more. It's also super fun.

head studies...

More work from AAU.

Mickey Mouse...

I couldn't resist posting this. Kennedi scrawled out a rather impressive Mickey on the chalkboard the other day. Do you see it? Awesome! I've got her drawing ellipses and circles all day long so this should show significant improvement by next week. Haha. Nah. But she's still only two, so we were blown away.

Some quick environment thumbnails...

wondasketches...

I flew in to do some work at Wondaland in the ATL last February, and as warmup exercises I did these real lickety-split sketches from life...

a forgotten sketch I found wandering around on my hard drive.

creatures...more to come.

Others from the same class...

Finally!!

after nearly a year of shameful absence, I have made an update. This will thrill and delight the three of you that still bother to visit my blog.

Hello?

Well...I'm wading through all my classwork pieces now as I'm preparing for my master thesis and collecting some of the ones that don't stink too bad. I'll try and post these pretty regularly for a while as I dust 'em off.

This one was done for a class called Drawing from the Imagination. I'd like to fix the values put color to it at some stage.
