digi art is hard.


I donno whats up with my wacom but its all shaky and theres no pen pressure. But if I use it at school its fine...wierd. I wonder if theres settings on this thing.

Heres a dragon that Im working on. Im not happy at all with the line work..and I need to redo his arm and ad in his wings. SIGH. I just dont get how people get such great lines?!? Im doing it in one stoke and its all shaky. But if I use the school comps its fine and theres no problems. Is there something wrong with my CS?

Fooling around with Photoshop

I want to get better at the pen tool and its shape technique. So I created a character based off of only shapes made by it. After creating her I realized how to really use it and will now go back and remake Penny. But heres my first try. Its a red panda by the way...SO CUTE.

Emotions at their finest

Sorry no posts last week, seems that my computer is going down the toilet and I might loose all of my D drive. I guess theres a lesson to be learned here. Anywho, hehe.. So I wanted to create something kinda evil for once, since most of my cartoons are cute and cudly.
Heres my attempt at painting on the wacom. This is a 5min piece just as a trial and error of how to use it. I'm a little bit home sick if you cant tell. :\

New ink

I came up with this idea awhile back for a new piece that will go on my arm. This was done on wacom free-hand. It represents my Grandmother and Grandfather (R.I.P) and their love for one another. I had written a short story symbolizing them as great oaks right before my Grandmother passed away. I have the basics inked on my left arm that was done on last Sunday. Though its a hard for me to have this because it reminds me they are no longer here; it is also helping me to always remember everything they stood for. Family.

5min Studies

I always believe that life drawing is the single most important thing to an animator or any artist really. Keeping a constant grip on anatomy is extremely important in all aspects of art. Though a character may have a large head to maybe show that he’s an egg-head; he still needs the rest of the body to flow with him and be sized accordingly. This is a 5min.

This is another 5min study I did in the same sitting. They are from live models that I saw at the park. I looked beyond the clothes to see the true form of the body. I start all of my studies with working around the body in circles. Having a line of action and then just using circles for my proportions. Then shading comes next with the hatching effect. I would use more polished shadings on longer studies. I did notice that the footing on the man was kinda funky. Also the arms on it was really weird. But I really like how the 2 turned out over all.






Ghangus Khan Concept




I came up with this idea awhile back for a Ghangus Khan character. But I thought I'd throw a twist in there and make him feminine. And for comedy purpose make him plump! I started out here by trying out different little hats and round little faces.













After some decision making I came up with this design. I did a lot of research on the time frame of his time. A lot of his costume design came from that era of soldiers in his part of the world. And even though I did like the costume design the "gay" look was a little to weird in this one to me. Plus the anatomy in this is reallllllly off. Enough said back to the drawing board.


During my lunch yesterday, I went back and tried for a new look. I love the boots and they are actually from the same time era. Although they are more middle Eastern some Asian countries did pick up on this fashion. I made his feminine qualities more subdued this time around and kept the proportions more readable for his silhouette. I want to add some beads and like a little sword maybe. I'll keep posting up more of him as I progress.
