Halloween Special - Zombie

For Halloween we were given this texture map of a girl and a Maya file that had the texture on a model that was animated to move along like a zombie, our task was to make her a zombie.

After changing her face to a different woman, I lowered the saturation in her face to make her paler and then made her eyes misty and veiny also I added small dull blue veins and spots all over her skin to make her skin look thin and diseased.

 

I then did what I do best, I made her look...dead I made her face look hollow and sore by using dull purples, blues, blacks and reds. I love how her face turned out (I spend most time on it so its a good thing I do)

 

I then made her sleeves tatty and roughly darkened part of her clothes to make them look worn. I also made her nail dirty and bloody and finally I covered her in blood splatters and dirt to make it look like she'd be 'round killing.

 

I love how she turned out because I managed to make her look tatty and dead but not rotted and gross, so you can still see the human in her even if she is eating people.

Close up of her glorious face.

 

 

 

 

Life drawing lesson 6

This was a 30 minute drawing and I found it very hard because I prefer quick drawings, I drew her head a bit on the large side but other than that I like how it turned out.

These 4 images where when we had to draw 2 poses with 2 different types of media at the same time and then swap hands. I find it very strange how my left handed one turned out better considering i'm right handed.

3 minute Sketches (my best ones to date)

Pencil drawing where we had to concentrate on tones and not outlines, I found it quite hard but I like how it turned out (30 minutes)

Life drawing lesson 5

We had to completely cover out page with Charcoal and then rub away at it with a rubber, this was to make us focus on the lighting over the shading and outlines.

I love the way the back looks

We were told to use a different media so I went with pen and I think it turned out really well and I am immensely proud of it, especially because I couldn't erase and It still came out neat looking. 

Another one where we had to draw the model as he moved, this one was harder than last time because this model walked faster.

3 minute sketches

Life drawing lesson 4

This one was a collab between me and another student, he drew the yellow lines and I shaded with charcoal.

We were told to use a media that we haven't used before, I chose Pencil and Ink.
The Ink was quite difficult to control and the pencil was hard to shade and get different tones.

We had to draw the model as he slowly walked around the room, I found this quite fun, I especially like how the front view one came out because of the way the legs are shaped.

Action poses~ These are my favorites.

Lava Creature

I decided to start drawing straight onto Photoshop to see if I could come up with any ideas and I ended up liking all of them and couldn't pick a favorite.

The first creature has hardened lava forming on top of its molten center giving an appearance of a cloak, it would move similar to a slug as it has no limbs.

The second one is going onto the more over sized mass of rock emerging from lava with a very distorted mouth and a compact rock body (most lava comes out of its mouth, with a few bits seeping out of the cracks every so often)

and the last one has more of a skeletal appearance with one large eye in the center of its head. ( love the hands on this one) 

and today I found out that rocks are surprisingly hard to draw when using a program you aren't used to.

I took may favorite one and edited it to add the parts I liked about the other two to it and then tried to redraw it but from the front (it was difficult, but im really happy with how it turned out)

Lava

Today's lesson was Lava which can be a fairly difficult thing to draw but it becomes fairly easy when using a preset layer style that basically does it all for you, the picture above was my first attempt.

After getting to grips with how lava works we then where given a rock/clay guy to draw on to make him look like he was oozing lava, I like how mine came out even though the lava isn't exactly pouring out of him, I like the idea of it just poking out.

Pixel art

To start we had to actually under stand how to draw pixel art in asymmetric so we started easy with squares and circles and then turning them into boxes and cylinders (the boxes proved very helpful when making the tricycle as it helped me keep in in line.

Then we had to create a pixel toy that could be placed in an asymmetric scene, I decided to do a doll but I ended up finishing it quickly so I also did a tricycle.

I really like how they turned out considering both toys I made both had no straight lines and therefore were quite difficult to make. I also think they look natural in the scene.
