Snooki Fan Art

Final Snooki Fan Art

Yesterday i thought it was Thursday. I don't know why. Maybe i was missing me some Jersey Shore. I don't have MTV so I usually end up watching it on mtv.ca.  I never watched the show up until I moved back to Toronto. Then it seemed that Hell's Kitchen was done and I needed something else to play in the background while I was working on my computer in the late evenings. Something mind numbing, something hilarious. That something was Jersey Shore. And what would that show be without Snooki. Probably less meatball-like and less fun.
For all those who hate the show, that's cool, but for a time to do a portrait or caricature nothing can be better than an over tanned jersey girl. Such a character. Really in the long run Characters are what make stories interesting. These are the types of elements that i always want to be aware of. This sketch took about 45 mins. I would consider that fast because I don't draw celebrities or anyone who must have a resemblance. Also i am staying in black and white for now so i can concentrate on my values, however i can add tones to this anytime.

Work In Progress- Reference Image and my photoshop image side by side for reference. I do not trace- i am looking for shapes and elements that are her face and trying to bring them out

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Camelot Eva Green Fan Art

Eva Green FanArt

I have been rewatching Camelot here in Canada. I actually have seen the entire first season while I was visiting LA. All the good stuff is showing in the USA but sadly it takes a while for it to arrive to Canada.
Either way I was enjoying Eva Green's performance. I told myself the first time that I would sketch her while I watched but that did not happen. Nevertheless I sat myself down this time around and started my first attempt at making someone really look like their character. Its tough, but lots of fun. I was just trying to capture the essence and for me its truely in her eyes. They are so intense.
I am sad that they may have cancelled the show, because it ended in such a great place. More drawings of her to come!

Lil Digi Dragons

My hands hurt. Cramping up really, but only my right hand from holding my wacom tablet too long. I delving in digital painting, deeper than i have gone in the past.

This week as been a lot about painting dragons and other animals. I realize i have to do a lot more anatomical studying because i really dont know as much as I should. Nevertheless I managed to pump out this little dragon buddy today in about 1 hour which is impressive enough for me because i go super slow on my tablet.
I figure though if i take a small step everyday i can manage to get to where i need to go.
Its tough because when one is unemployed most people think they are being lazy or doing nothing, but i'm actually working pretty hard at learning new parts of the digital world. Thankfully no one has given me any flack, instead people have been pretty supportive.

I will continue on with the Anatomy and then also learn to model a character i been dying to do in maya. Stay tuned.
