Life Drawing Session 9

The usual 5 minutes sketches. 

We then had to sit on the floor with our boards and draw our model as if we were looking up on him like he was a giant. We had 15 minutes to draw each three.

Then we spent another 15 minutes each to draw him in different positions where some of his body parts stuck out more, giving more depth of realism.

CGA Visual Design Lesson 10-Frog

At the start of the lesson we watched a short video on how to use textures to make tone and how it is used to blend into colour of your work.

So our work was to draw some designs anthropomorphic character based based of the reference of exotic frogs or toads.

Mood board:

So in class I started doing some sketches and concepts for the final piece.

Then for to finish it off for homework. I decided to do the frog that looks like a king because I felt that the idea would suit the exotic frog theme of being a Aztec tribal chief leader. I did also like the one which had the backpack as if it is a travelling frog but then it wouldn't be that exotic would it?

CGA 3D Art Production Lesson 10

This week was a big one. I made the plane for where the river surface is meant to be transparent. Then added a third mountain at the back so when I take it into unity the river doesn't just cut off so I made it turn to the right as if it would lead some where else.  

I have also deleted some of the back and under faces where you can't see to save my triangle count. 

I have also added more rocks on the river bed to go into the mountains.

CGA Visual Design - Tanks!

MoodBoard

 For Homework we had to come up with a heavy armoured vehicle or  tank and draw it using 2 point perspective.

I first started off by drawing a box using my guide lines. 

Finished drawing my idea.

Then went back to looking at my guidelines and where the light is coming from. Adding the red guide lines of where the shadows will be.

then added the different lights of shade depending on where the light is coming from.

After getting some feed back about the shadow, I decided to go back and improve it although I don't know if it is still perfect but I guess I'll learn it.

Life Drawing Session 8

 We did the usual 5 minutes each for 5 quick drawings.

Then we had to do two 15 minutes using perspective with some circles on the floor as guides. The first drawing, I found very difficult and couldn't quite get the horizon points and the vanishing points right.

The second one I found much easier after being shown some one else, I had a much better idea of how to do it

 Then we moved onto doing the same thing but this time without the circle guides.

The last drawing we got to do in what style we wanted, as I didn't like the perspective style drawing i decided to just draw the model normally and add some shading in. 

CGA 3D Art Production Lesson 9

This week I added in a tree and made some of my stairs crumbled as well.

CGA Visual Design Lesson 9 - Shading Values

In the lesson we quickly learnt or went over some shading values and where the light is coming from.

So on potoshop we had to range out the different lights of shade going from 0-100% and practice it on two boxes.

CGA 3D Art Production lesson 8

Added in my barrels, and made the bride a bit crumbly, as if it is falling apart. The first time I tried to make the bridge as if it was falling apart, I had some problems with the division and the faces having more then 4 vertex's so I had to scrap that and remodel it again but this time using a more simple method of using the cur tool than using the add division tool the first time around. 

CGA Visual Design Lesson 8 - Perspective in Environmental Drawing

In class we had to draw a Sci-Fi kind of room and finish it for homework.

We were first given a image of a room in a 2 point perspective view, so we started off by making out the lines and to draw out the basic shape of the room.

Then we started drawing.

I then decided to add some different colours ranging between light grey to 90% grey to add a bit more depth into the drawing.

After getting some feed back from my teacher about the table and the door not quite being in perspective I decided to go back and fix them as well as brighting the room up a bit so it's its actually see able.
