Peek a mouse


Working on a fan art piece right now that's due really soon for Character Design. This one has been getting me really inspired! Here's work in progress.

The haze is here to stay, throat's a lot better, so that's good! Another thing that's good for hazy days is the ability to magic lasso the sky and BAM... you've marqueed your buildings in a fraction of a second.

Cough... cough...


The haze is back and with a vengeance. Apart from the coughing and headache, I'm looking at the brighter side of it.

It makes for great atmospheric depth drawing. The further objects are from the viewer, the "lighter" in colour it is.

Tigger this



It's been nearly two weeks since the start of the semester and the buzz word has been Bounce. I'm taking Environment Design, Comic Art, Character Design, Matte Painting, Back to Figure Drawing and 2D Visual Effects. Of course, I have the Utama project on the side to deal with too. I've been drawing quite a bit, and working on something that I've not really paid attention to - bounce light! Almost every class I've attended has left that word ringing in my ears.

Above is my Matte Painting teacher giving me a lesson on being patient. Especially for leaves on a tree, one has to draw in the leaves digitally one at a time. You have more control that way in the flow and energy of the tree, rather than just using an automatic "leaf" brush. Well, lots to draw and many more things ahead to learn!

:O)
