Art Jam 1 – Arrch, Ammy, Mae

29 Jun

Today’s post is a delayed update of when Arrch came over and Ammy was free, so she suggested drawing on the huge roll of paper she bought from IKEA.

We put my inkbrush to good use immediately.

Arrch, Ammy

Ammy did the Sydney horizon and bridge. And Arrch had fun with everything else, including the sneaky little vuvuzelas.

Arrch, Ammy, Mae's handiwork

Ammy thought the sun would be cooler with shades on. I tried adding a Chinese dragon. Arrch added eyes to the clouds, because I forbade him to add hair to everything.

Mae; inspired by Paul Bonner

And I stuck with my pencils while everyone else played with the inkbrush. :D

Environment Speedpaint

17 Jun

I’ve always wanted to do environments again, so I started with a sketch, followed by colouring in greyscale to work out the contrast I want. I didn’t want there to be harsh contrasts, so I used lots of midrange to light values.

And here’s the result that I’m not too happy with but it will work as a speedpaint practice. I think my hues need working to be brought out more.

Total time: 1.5 hours. The half hour there was spent on the colours.

Don’t mind me, I’m just passing through at the speed of light

Today (well, yesterday, but didn’t actually get to it since Sims 3 distracted me) i randomly had a mental image of a character in a certain pose, from an extreme angle, and wanted to see if i could pull it off.

i don’t particularly like drawing random characters, so decided to try drawing a modern-day version of Merc from the Chaos webcomic Mae and i plan to do eventually. Don’t think it really looks like him, though. If anything it ended up looking more like a young!Worth <<;; OTL.

i know it’s not very obvious from his outfit who he’s supposed to be, and it was deliberate since i thought shoes with wing designs or a cauduceus would be too anvilicious even for me. It’s only hinted at by the shopping bags at his feet, and the fact that he’s standing at crossroads (being that Mercury/Hermes is pretty much the god of transactions, boundaries and the patron of merchants, amongst other things).

Edit: i updated the pic earlier, but it’s still showing the old one for me >> Might be my cache. Anyway, was just to add blue to the lines of the vest and to the tie. Also, i made a quick wallpaper version for my work comp: here.

iPod Touch Speedpaints

I downloaded a free version of Sketchbook Express for the iPhone/iPod to pass my free time on the train about 2 weeks ago or so before my HK trip. Tested it for about 45 minutes at the bf’s place and came up with the following scrap while thinking of some sort of alien desert terrain.

Alien Desertscape

The next one took about 1 hour, or 2 train trips, really. @_@ A little more proud of it than the other for sure.
