Rough Sketch

About 1.75 hours

Brief Update

I finally put some time into polishing up my portfolio website... added a section for sketches/practice work, and another for commissioned work - graphic design, logos, websites, & illustration. Between work and classes, these two sections should have a pretty steady stream of new content, and hopefully I'll be able to add some more polished personal artwork before too long...

I also finally took the plunge and submitted my porfolio link to the Nucleus Gallery! (the one that I love and visit every month) We'll see how it goes...

And hooray for my new art-buddy Kin Lok! We met in figure drawing class and he's also trying to learn all this cool drawing stuff. We're gonna be accountability buddies to make sure we stay on top of our sketchbooks. He called me up on Monday, excited to have finished 8 pages of sketches... I had one or two. Gotta get on it! Nonetheless, it's good to have a buddy for the journey. As iron sharpens iron...

Noir experiment

My friend is a music video director and wanted to pitch a video idea to an artist. I made this concept sample to help him get the mood across, which would be an homage/parody to noir films. Turns out the artist already had a music video in development for the song, so the pitch fell flat. But it was a great experience working on an image alongside a director with a specific vision that he was pushing for.

Pictures!!

Okay, so enough with the wordy introspection, lets get some work up here! Here are some sketches I did for my perspective drawing class with Mike Matessi at the Entertainment Art Academy. The class has been helping a TON! When I started I had only a vague idea of two- and three-point perspective, and consequently I tended to avoid environments in my paintings and sketches. The class is almost finished now and I'm sooo much more comfortable with the principles of perspective drawing. When I go for a walk I can see extension lines everywhere! I think I'm going crazy.
