Ergg..I rendered more than I usually do
but I was just really playing with shapes in the beginning without thinking so it's a bit awkward in lot of ways.
Somewhat incomplete, but still had fun painting clouds and lightnings

I want to paint this one day and i'm gonna have to fix a few things(like..lilttle anatomy things)

Sketches from last term

2009-03-08T22:27:00.000-07:00

Pen drawings..bit old drawing..focused on drawing hands really.
it's a scan of an actually page without extra photoshop works so that's how i drew like really.
I want to stylize pen drawing technique..
maybe next year. (pastel this year)

and just a caricature

Series of quick caricatures again

2009-03-06T13:09:00.000-08:00

style has improved yet still around a minute drawing each.

I've gone to mall sketching a few times, and can't like it too much..hallway is much funnarrr

o and that's Hoony top middle

Temple

2009-03-04T14:46:00.000-08:00

started off doodling for an assignment(top half)..it became a quite a random painting but i like how i pulled it off. Thx to Mike Hitchcox for great critiques.

Everyone's doing really great in school these days and i'm soooooooo intimidated..

I'm feeling like i'm being left behind uhg.. so i'm planning some new everyday practices..beware everyone..huhu

Cyclops favor

2009-03-04T13:52:00.000-08:00

A painting done for the presentation in English class at the end of the last term. I thought everyone would want to draw cyclops but apparently no one did..so i was lucky enough to develop such a cool character. It got me pass the course..haha

Anyways..Hmm..I wanna be better at making better layout..

Life drawings from last term

2009-02-25T19:55:00.000-08:00

Life drawing update after ages. First one is about 17 minutes drawing, and the rest is 30 sec, 1s and 3s. A few drawings(debbie) are quite new. I'll be updating something other than life drawings soon.

Bio Mecha?

2008-11-11T21:00:00.000-08:00

Just felt like i had to upload something .. it's just a sketch but o well here we go.

i'm thinking to develop this further more, if i ever get time

Rock concepts for the group

2008-11-03T23:28:00.000-08:00

Again, this was done in a early concept stage for the group film. For the final we ended up mixing some designs together.

Each design of rock, including painting part, didn't take longer than 10 minutes for sure. Very quick designs and colourings. I was concentrating majorly on shapes and volume, and a bit on textures.

Just some group concepts(lizard)

2008-11-03T23:14:00.000-08:00

A few of lizard concept designs i did for the group film. I did like around 50 of them and i felt like my group didn't like my designs too much..o well. jus gotta do it better

They had a very strong decision of everything from the story part. There wasn't much to build up..and it's a good thing but feel like i'm missing out something.

Anyways the drawings were barely in a concept stage...exploring characteristics. For the actual design part, we went for what seemed alright for everyone. Taking care of many aspect of designs and ofcourse tiny details too.

Quick caricatures under a minute

2008-10-21T00:43:00.001-07:00

More like around 30 seconds..

Done in the hallway of school, from walking people in front of Tim Hortons.

Quick drawings, quick designs.

Goal is not to get so designy or draw pretty but to get the essence of impression and attitude.

I've been doing it alot since the first year, as well as cafe sketches(cafe and hallway is quite different).

Color pencil?

2008-10-07T23:32:00.000-07:00

Aaah damn it..i just accidentally erased something that i was working on for about an hour at like 3 AM.

OOOOOooook whatever i'm just going to bed.

btw the sketch's somewhere around 3-5 min.

My recent favourite model. drew her kinda designy but stiff

Life from past

2008-09-21T22:37:00.000-07:00

1 minute gesture from last year and a recent 5 minute. I did alot in 1 minute but wasn't able to draw the whole figure. But the paper i used was twice bigger than normal size, it's literally impossible to draw big and fast and make it look nice. Well, at least for now. I established a new drawing style with this drawing. It was something i've been doing time to time, but finally it came to an realization.

5 minute one was an exercise directed by T, my lifedrawing teacher. I was just so rusty after i got back from my summer break and T gave me some useful tips. Alot of major/minor mistakes, but i liked how i managed my time and learned alot in a single drawing.

Sketch dumps

2008-09-21T21:57:00.000-07:00

Quick sketches under a few minutes and a quick painting. Most of them needs structure/proportion adjustments. It's very hard not to have problems in quickies.

For some drawings i don't bother thinking what to draw before i draw it. Just play around with shapes and i get something interesting. i guess that's where i get the mistakes but o well it's not a big deal..i can always draw another when i like the idea

Some lifesketches from last summer

2008-09-21T21:18:00.000-07:00

Ehm i just wanted to draw that crazy mushroom hair in a subway. I donno why, but mushroom hair's just so... ... .........

Second one is my mom and grandma. i kinda pushed shapes and designs too much for my mom's face..she doesn't look like that. But i liked it, eventhough my mom looked a lil depressed.

Sometimes i memorize a person's characteristics and draw it after. I think it's somewhat fun

And the third one is first year stuff. I pulled it out to make some handouts for my students..

Hands

2008-09-06T09:17:00.000-07:00

(i haven't posted in a while..well here we go. it's a part of what i've been doing in summer.)

1-2 minute hand drawings and a painting of a few hours. (first one is about an hour)

For the painting, i kinda stopped without actually finishing it. didn't want to do too many details.

Also kinda wanted to paint more veins and color it funny but i'll leave that to another hand painting some time later. A bit of proportion problem with the thumb. Failed to concentrate on it. (should've kept the quality of the drawing)

Dave Hyong Hyong Hyong

2008-04-21T23:12:00.001-07:00

i was bored of doing kitchen painting assignment..and just decided to paint Dave who was sitting beside.

it was like 1 minute sketch and 8~10 minute painting.
He moved after that..

Western Characters

2008-04-21T22:53:00.000-07:00

Here are some of my character designs from Pete's class.
I was really really really really bad in character design last year and I'm quite happy with the improvements this time.
I mean..I really don't think these are really that good..but i just get the hang of it little bit.
thx to amazing Peter Emslie!

some poses are very stiff..and i think i need to find better design for eyes of these characters..

4 armed humanoid creatures and a gesture

2008-03-20T19:57:00.000-07:00

We're having so much fun in lifedrawing class.. creatures are always fun to draw. I think it's a guy thing..

Anyways, these are done in the big lifedrawing pad which is..36X24? can't remember exactly.

spent about 10~15 minutes, and....those mistakes..make me sigh. But it was design on the spot, which i only had my intuitive and visualizing skills to come up with the ideas. Hopefully that can be my excuse.

and i thought that gesture worked out quite intersting for 30 seconds

but it was very still-pose, i had to exaggerate alot

western theme character rough

2008-03-20T19:53:00.000-07:00

These are not done yet, still needs some fixings and tweaks. As some of my friends pointed out, first guy looks a bit female-ish, and the last character has a structural problem. And some study of fabric types of costume will help alot to strenthen my design.

At least 2 poses from each page (except last) has a structural/proportion problem.

Cafe/hallway/subway/etc sketches

2008-03-18T21:33:00.000-07:00

From the first year in school, I really forced myself to do these alot..as well as many character studies.

I use about 5 sketchbooks in a term on top of school works and 3 hours of lifedrawing 7 times a week. And it's actually 9 times now..

Anyways..ya this is the reason of my hand injury, as well as not taking too much attention to my health. But it can be avoided doing proper stretch and exercise. I've been going to Athletic Therapy Centre these days, and it's alot of help.

some character designs

2008-03-01T12:32:00.000-08:00

just playing around with faces

Quick Sketches(from life)

2008-03-01T12:05:00.000-08:00

2 minute character-lifedrawing sketches i did in Emslie's class.

Character design class with Peter this year is my favourite class so far.

So many things i'm learning and so much improvements i'm having in his class.

This exercise gave me great experience making character out of life, and sometimes i was lucky enough to see him drawing gestures by his side.

But really ya, drawing 2 figures in 2 minutes is very hard. Lot of mistakes are too obviously visible.

gotta draw more!

layout workbook assignment

2008-03-01T11:40:00.000-08:00

(this isn't the final look of the assignment and not all the boards are used for workbook)

This workbook was done in Scott's class last term, and i really liked doing it.

But i used a storyboard that was made in 1 hour-ish for john's class..so the board itself isn't really that interesting i suppose..well this was a layout assignment anyhow.

Hmm I really liked Scott's classes last term, but some how i feel really bored in his class these days..

not too much motivation was involved in last 2 assignments.

but he's still great. He loves my sketches and drawings but suggests spending more time on structurally drawing and finishing layout assignment. Which is my biggest lazyness problem next to sleeping habit. I'll make them better for sure..

more life drawings

2008-03-01T11:21:00.000-08:00

5, 10, 15 minute drawings.

I was JUST learning shading in Brian's class when i was doing the third one.

He gave me some useful tips

Ed- short ones

2008-03-01T11:16:00.000-08:00

not only his poses were great, but these were done in another joe's class, and he was very inspiring.

First drawing is my favourite gesture i ever made so far.

So much can be done in just one minute and 30 seconds..

Anyways these are done before when i learned proper shading in Brian's class

First post

2008-02-28T11:55:00.000-08:00

Getting back to digital painting..took me about 4 hours.

i stepped away from digital painting some years ago and i feel good to be back.
i had some inspiration from matt and toby
and thx toby for some useful tips.

..little bit rough, but i didn't want to use too much time on it. and ah.. i gotta paint faster
