Creature sketch from an in-class exercise for the Conceptual Illustration and Visual Development class I teach at DigiPen… the goal was to pick an artist’s design of something (character, creature, vehicle, building… whatever) and try to apply elements from their work (colors, rending approach, linework, shape language, stylization, etc.) in a speed design of something related but original.
Frazetta themed life drawing
I had a great time last night at Studio Paradiso where they had two models, a DJ and a Frazetta theme.
drawing animals
Went to the Woodland Park Zoo with some of the talented students (and instructor) from DigiPen.
Annual Gage Drawing Jam 2016
Always a great time at Gage, drawing for 9 hours straight. Next year I'll paint!
360 turnaround
Occasionally I get to join in the fun with my students. The in-class assignment was to draw the model from 8 locations around the room. The second part of the assignment is to put the images together into a GIF animation.
Costumed drawings at DigiPen
DigiPen has an open life drawing session on Tuesdays from 6:30 - 9:30, video game industry people are invited to come join us for 3 hours of drawing. The first hour is typically costumed and shorter poses. The last 2 hours are nude, or whatever the group wants.
360 figure drawing
One of the in-class assignments from the Advanced Figure Drawing class I teach at DigiPen is to do eight 2 minute drawing from around the model, and creating an aditional 8 in between (tween) drawings as part of the homework and create an animated .gif. I ended up doing it too, minus the tween drawings.
