20 minute concept sketch. Saw a delicious fabric tutorial in IFX this month and just had had had to try it out SOMEHOW. I thought I would quickly sketch up a small thumbnail to catch some sort of concept including the pretty fabric but who knows if this will ever get painted. Hopefully so - it would be a good learning process to paint from a thumbnail for a change. It was actually pretty fun doing the black and white thumbnail, will definitely do so again when I have time! :D
The bottom image is with a dash of colour on top - she sort of turned into a mischeivous elven red riding hood to be honest!
This is the final piece for this concept: *click to see concept*
I had a ton of fun making this, and I adore the amethysts. Pretty pretty! :D I hope this makes the lass who commissioned this feel like a princess at her dance ^_^
Enjoy!
Anatomy and speed painting practice - this was REALLY fun to do and so very informative too! I never realised backs were SO complicated to draw! :O Well I wont make that mistake again haha :)
Reference used, took about an hour and a half, and then 20 minutes general cleaning up / fiddling about :)
Enjoy! Click for the full version - This is just a random pose / anatomy sketch I did, I decided I would write little notes on how I did it. 20 minutes it probably about the quickest I've finished something like this, so that's pretty cool in my eyes! Usually I get totally lost and absorbed in the minute details and cant sketch ANYTHING quickly! I do realise this isnt perfect though being such a rushed thing, but, thats fine by me :) Practice makes perfect!
The thinking behind this was a rogue / thief character, running away - perhaps she got caught stealing! She roams around with a bird of prey - a peregrine or a red kite, I haven't decided hence why I didn't try draw that - which she is just about to release so she can run faster without fear of hurting it. Maybe I will draw this up one day! I quite like the concept :D
I ended up having to redesign the trophy image (see my last post) simply for suitability for etching onto the trophies. I think I actually prefer this version though, it looks much lighter than the other one :D
This is the logo for my archery club, which I formally drew up for use on this years club championship trophies. It will be laser etched into them. Cant wait to see them! :-D
This is my drawing for World Drawing Day 2010! If its still June 5th in your timezone, you should totally get sketching and participate! Originally I thought I wouldnt have time for anything more than a sketch, but after only a mere 3 hours, this popped out! :D
Its supposed to be an elf taking the opportunity of a masquerade to blend into the human crowd hoping that her slitted eyes and pointy ears will just look like part of her disguise!
The anatomy isnt spot on (and I didnt use any refs or anything), but I still like it - I was really just going for something different, and it definitely made a lovely change! I also wanted to try something a bit more difficult, and outside the box of what I usually paint, and I'm glad I did! I tried really hard on the dress (after doing a similar style in this picture and I think the effect came out much better this time!), and also on the mask. I'm pretty pleased with how that came out. Yay sparkles and yay detail and yay for using interesting lighting for a change!
I'm not sure why I forgot to post this up, I did this a little while back!
This is a bookcover sketch commission for a close friend. I very much hope to be able to paint this up one day for her, it was lovely to work on! The main character is based, looks wise, on her mostly so it was also nice to draw my friend :P
Enjoy!
