Sometimes I draw just to draw. I don't get to do so very often anymore, but I really enjoy it when I get the chance to do so. And sometimes I even like how the drawings turn out, so you get a little drawing I did this evening. Which I wasted a bunch of time I should have been doing homework on, but I think I'm okay with that. Sometimes I need the little reminders like this, loving to draw is what got me into animation in the first place after all, and occasionally I get bogged down in homework and forget that. So here's what happens when I get to draw for me, no concerns about deadlines or having to start over if I want.

Bubbles!

Bubbles are fun. So I made some bubbles in 3DS Max.

Volcano Terrain Take Two

New and improved volcano terrain! Next up: Refining and texturing.

Concept Art

Work in progress stuff for my concept art class. (Which is also why I'm behind on the 30+1 day drawing challenge) There's a myriad of things I'd like to fix on them, time permitting. But I'm a terribly slow painter, so unless my teacher requires me to, I'm not certain if I can find the time in the near future. Oh well. Arts.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Eight

Probably should have looked up reference for this one. But I'm tired and want to go to bed, so I didn't. Rapunzel from Disney's Tangled. Is she actually my favorite animated character ever? Probably not, but I'm a pretty big fan as most of my friends could tell you.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Seven

I should probably not be allowed to use Photoshop without a plan. Things like this happen when I do. But since one definition of 'hijinks' is noisy merrymaking, I don't think it's entirely inappropriate. It also let me play around with some adjustment layers, layer types, and filters that I don't get to really look at much, which is a lot of fun.

Also, yes, this is kind of a cop-out, as it's not really a drawing.

A Couple of Shader Tests

A couple of shader tests for my capstone project at DigiPen. You can see more information about it here if you're interested.

This one is for the horn on Kamali, the wolf.


This one is for the water in the end half of the short.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Six

Quite unsure of how accurate this is to descriptions in the books, but oh well. Young Robinton, Master Harper of Pern. He may not be my all-time favorite character, but he's probably the one that's stuck with me the most. This is about as close as I can get in a quick sketch to how I always envisioned him.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Five

One of the best things about having a sister is that you never have to leave anyone out when picking your best friend. Rachel was the obvious choice here, and since she's a big fan of Batman: The Animated Series, I went with a similar style for her picture. Would like to go back to this one and add some nice value-y bit sometime, but for now, I need to get back to the art I have to make for school instead of doing things for fun.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Four

I really need to start beginning these sooner in the day. Oh well, day four. My favorite place. I couldn't think of any place that was specifically my favorite ever, but my room by my computer is one of my favorite places. Hope that's close enough.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Three

My favorite food is potatoes. So I drew a happy potato in flash. He is excited to be your delicious meal. Until you peel off his face.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day Two

Almost forgot today (already? Man, I kind of suck at this), so it's super quick to try to get it done before midnight. But here you have my favorite animal - the pangolin!

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge - Day One

A picture of yourself. My line quality has declined greatly, I clearly need to draw more often. But I think it turned out pretty all right.

30+1 Day Drawing Challenge

Participating in this this month with the wonderful Jillian. We're adding a Halloween themed image to the last day to make it a full month (since October has 31 days), hence 30+1 day drawing challenge!
