Paintings

Here's a couple of paintings I did today.  The cube took about 45 minutes and the landscape an hour and a half.  I think I like where the landscape is going, I think I'll finish it.

Landscape

Here's a 25 minute landscape speed painting.  The reference is a stock photo.

Flyer Design

Here is a flyer to a made up event. The entire thing was made on Adobe Illustrator, including the gift box which I illustrated myself.

A couple of speed paintings I did from my imagination just for practice.

What's going on...

I have so many things I want to work on.  I am still working on things for life drawing class (I will post it soon) and I also want to improve my graphic design skills.

I actually did do the presentation with unfinished sketches of my future animation in slide-show form.  As much as I detest not finishing something, I wasn't terribly disappointed because there was no way for me to finish all of that in the time given.  Plus, the instructor wanted us to mainly talk about the process anyway.

As I said up there^^ I need to get my graphic design skills up so I'll be working on a practice flyer for an imaginary event.  The "event" is a gift wrapping contest.  Today, I've been doing spec work for 3 hours.

Animation Sketches

The deadline for this is *drum roll* this.Thursday.  For some reason, I didn't anticipate that it would be quite this much work.  I'll have to be very creative to actually make a presentation out of this.  I have sketches and here's a couple of them:

 

The main character is the girl in the center of the top section with the curly hair.  As I said before, this animation will go along with the song "Change" by Lecrae.  The main character of my animation is on a journey of self discovery and a search for purpose.  She goes through several different trials before finding out what is truly important.

I won't be able to add as much as I want in the time given but I will defiantly work on this after the project is due.
