Just something to keep this blog alive. It's from school.

Let's break out the brush pen

Did some drawing of costumed models in Character Design today. They're not great, but these are the ones I liked best.

Process work OH BOY

Who wants to see scribbly, messy process stuff? Woooooooh!

I wanted to draw Jan and his fiance dancing. My first attempt was stiff and boring and I just could not get there arms to work out.

Second try was better. What I really wanted to get was an upshot though, and this drawing was really small anyway, so I tried again. Did I ever get the angle I wanted? No. I went ahead and coloured the third drawing anyway.

This is what it looks like with just the cell shaded layer. I never intended to *just* do cell shading, so when I cleaned up the drawing I used thin lines without a lot of variation. I personally don't like soft/painted colouring with thick, bold black lines.

Just the "painted" shading.

The two together in the final image. I... wasn't going to keep that background but decided to just because I have nothing better to put there.

I did the painted/cell combination before, but didn't save the file properly (HRRRRRNG TRAGEDY!), so I wanted to try it again with this drawing. I feel the cell shading helps bump up the contrast while the painterly shading makes it more interesting and gives it more life. I never liked the way I did cell shading much because it always came out so flat and boring.

So, uh, there we are!
