Title: KtD Hand
Type: Doodle
Tools: Pen
I was playing around with the book Keys to Drawing at work, doing the various exercises. This one has us scrunch up our hand with the fingers pointing toward oneself, and draw it exactly as seen. It’s also instructed to use restatements rather than erasing, so the messy look is on purpose. Doodled it out with a ball point pen.
Title: Bunnies!
Type: Doodle
Tools: MS Paint
Evil Avatar is going to turn me into a comment whore. Looks like my doodles went over fairly well again at EvAv, gaining such adjectives as “nucking futs”, “gorgeous”, and “holy sh*t”. I’m glad people liked it.
Title: Bear!
Type: Doodle
Tools: MS Paint
Thanks to a funny, random thread over at Evil Avatar called MS Paint Bears, I ended up making this random doodle in MS Paint of all things. It’s basically just a scribble, but it came out fairly nice and went over well in the thread. Not every day something I doodle gets called “so f*cking good it hurts.”
Title: Sailor Moon
Type: Color
Tools: Photoshop, Illustrator
The coloring on this one came out great. Nice and bright, lots of visual pop to it. I think this image marked the turning point of when I became fully confident in my CG skills. I’m especially proud of the skintone, skirt, and hair. Blonde hair isn’t very easy for me to work with, but it came out great.
Title: Sailor Moon
Type: Lineart
Tools: Illustrator
The lineart made a huge difference here, night and day from the sketch. This was my original goal, and I’m quite happy with how well it came together. I’ve really come to love using Illustrator to do my lineart, the lines are always smooth and flowing.
Title: 30K Usagi
Type: Project
Tools: Photoshop
I kinda went all out for the background, just drawing at random without any real plan and seeing what came about. It’s a bit strange I’ll admit, but I quite like it and I think it works really well with the image.
