Worked out Life Drawing 02

Masterclass Drawing for Animators

Had an amazing and very inspiring day today!
The studio I work at organised a masterclass given by Samantha Youssef (former Disney animator) on drawing for animation. It was great! There was a model as well so got to do some life drawing and decided to redo a couple of them in Photoshop.
Learned a lot of new techniques and ways to approach life drawing.

Portrait 001

Haven't been drawing portraits for about two years. I was very busy with improving my animation and just didn't take the time for it. I'm starting to pick it up again now, though it seems like I kinda have to start over, but eh, its a start right? And its a good way to keep track :)

Poor sad, misunderstood Kylo Ren.

Anna: "You should probably wait out here"
Kristoff: "What?"
Anna: "Last time I introduced her to a guy, she froze everything."
Kristoff: "But, it's a palace made of ice. Ice is my life!"

First time I saw Frozen and the film came to this point I actually thought Kristoff would fall for Elsa and she for him, since he's so into ice and totally in awe of her work. Couldn't resist drawing this

Kittens

 

Had the best day (though it was a lot different to what I expected it to be). I am a member of a volunteer group for orphaned kittens and there was a bottlefeeding workshop for kittens today. So you basically learn how to bottlefeed kitties that don't have their mom anymore, or their mom is so sick / exhausted that she can't give enough milk for all of them. We were demonstrated everything, so no, they don't just pass kittens around to everyone to touch them and give them milk. Because of the safety and health for the kittens.
Please note that this is just a cuter way I wanted to draw it and you most definitely never should feed a kitten this way!

The Hulk and Black Widow

 

This one is a few months old. Made it right after I came back from seeing the new Avengers, and I really liked the love interest thing going on between these two characters.

Yes, the next few drawings will probably be in a totally different style but I wanted to try something new and just bring across the idea

Girl Portrait

Finally a new drawing, after about three months... I didn't have the time to draw anytime sooner, since I had to graduate and so finish the graduation film and about two weeks after I went on a holiday to the USA for about a month, which was great. Then, arriving in Vancouver (Canada) had to find an apartment and work. Found the apartment rather quickly and had a great time at SIGGRAPH and applied for a studio, which I had an interview with last week, with great result. But I'll post some more about that when I actually start working.

Wanted to try another style, more paint-y.
I don't know yet how to add this to the hair, but it's getting somewhere.
Photoshop, speedpaint.

Update. Progress

A lot has happened since the last time I made an actual post on here. I am now almost graduated (I will be in exactly one month) and be an official "Bachelor of Arts" / visual effects artist. About two weeks after my graduation I will be moving to Vancouver, Canada. I will be living and hopefully working there for at least a year.
Because of my graduation film I haven't been able to draw as much as I'd like. Aside from that, when I had spare time I tried to practice 3D character animation in Maya, rigging, modelling and sculpting in ZBrush the most. This is why I've just uploaded a couple of sculpts I made. I am trying to put together a showreel, which I will publish in the beginning of July.
I have already updated the layout of my website, and uploaded my work on there aswell. This is why the blog has a new layout right now, so it matches my portfoliosite again.
Will try to make more drawings and keep it posted~!

Pin up 02. Aye aye, Captain! At your service!

I made a promise to myself to make a drawing every week. But December has been and will be for the rest of the month wayyy to busy. So I won't be able to it :(
Though, I've got a new one right now
Photoshop CS3.
Wacom Intuos 4 Medium.
And a few hours.

I'm not entirely happy with the result, but it's a start.
To be honest I got tired of it half way, which helps a lot with me
not being too happy about the result.
