The first page were my first ones, done with a ballpoint pen.
Then i switched to a new pen, a fine Pilot Precise V7, which I think forces me to make more definite marks so there aren't as many sketchy, useless lines. I think it also just makes the drawings look better.
I'm in the concept and ideas club. I didn't know what I'd be doing, but it turns out they're giving us assignments or terms and we have to make work to illustrate that concept. The first one was the term "Evil Twin". We were split into groups and came up with an idea for how to illustrate that. In our group, I came up with the idea which was basically turning it on its end and saying what if someone evil was actually an evil twin and had a good twin. The result: Evil Hitler, and Good Hitler.
Our next project was to design a superhero only using silhouette. This is my superhero.
Yes. Toastman. The silhouette isn't actually that interesting at all, but our homework for the next meeting is to fill in the features so I'm working to completely appropriately redesign this character. Perhaps that will end up in a later post...
Lastly. For 3d design, we're doing a toy project where we must design and make a toy and its packaging. My idea is a crank jumprope toy. My idea is for it to look like a vintage toy. This is a sketch of the toy and the designs for the three little girls. Now I just have about two weeks to figure out how to make it work and build it! Yay!
Wow.. Ok that post was a lot longer and wordier than I thought it was going to be. I'll try to keep the talking to a minimum in the future and the artwork to a max. I will also try to update this fairly frequently with personal and school projects, and a lot of sketches. I'm thinking for my next post, I'll be showing a few of my more recent figure drawings. Please stop by often and leave comments and critique thanks! Here's to hopefully a great year, and a lot of improvement!
