Day Thirty-Eight

So, this computer I am using now is pretty slow and I found myself a bit frustrated using it. Anyways, this is still a work in progress and I made it my goal to see this as a finished piece so you might see a lot of work in progress posts from now on...

I placed an additional hour on this.

1HR and 7 mins.... so odd.

Day Thirty-Seven

Yet another Work in Progress... I lacked the time again. I will work on it tomorrow though! I will be travelling overnight so hopefully I'll make it in time to complete another daily painting. Worst case scenario, I  will be uploading two the day after.

45 Minutes

Day Nineteen

Alrighty! This is a bit different than usual... its a Christmas card! I make one for my mom every year so she can send it to our friends and family. Its simpler than usual this year.

10 Minutes

Day Fourteen

A strange bug queen of some sort. I kinda like the idea so this might just be a work in progress that I'll finish?! whaaaat? but Its far from a finished piece, I might even scrap this interpretation and do another altogether. Here's a not so flattering render of her.

1HR1/2

Day thirteen

I AM A TERRIBLE HUMAN BEING. I was so absent minded today I forgot about my daily painting! I looked at the clock and noticed it was 11:30. I STILL HAD TIME!

6 minutes

Speed practice I guess. Maybe I'll input those in my days somehow... I feel cheap.

Day twelve

So, I had decided to draw a person portrait thingy, here it is! Unfortunately, it took me a while and although I went for a less realistic approach, she ended up looking anime-ish. Oh well. Soon I will do a full observation  drawing of a person...  maybe not tomorrow though!

3HRS1/2

Day Eleven

So this one took a while because I haven't drawn actual people in a while but I suppose I'll dedicate tomorrow to that!

3HRS

Day ten

2HRS1/2

day nine - ew

Yeah, I'll post it... BECAUSE I HAVE TO. that one I also turned around in a circle. I hate it. moving forward.

1HR1/2

I will make something better, I promise. Yes. Indeed.

Day Eight

2HRS

Day Seven

2HRS1/2

Day six

       Well. I am not proud of this one at all. I just ended up turning in circles, not really going anywhere with it. maybe if I had put more time into it, but I didn't have that today... gotta move forward! I will try an underwater scene again, when I'm more comfortable with painting!

1HR1/2 ... I think

Day Five

       For this one, I used reference and went for a children's story book illustration feeling. I also used a couple of brushes to tweak it afterwards. In this work, the colors are way more saturated than what I am used to. I personally like it more than the others so I think I will be using more reference. After all, it is the best teacher!

2HRS

        One day, when I'll have more time on my hands, I will submit a fully detailed painting. Adding details is the most tedious part for me and unfortunately, the most time consuming. 

Day four

2HRS1/2

Day three

       I am already starting to feel more ease in Photoshop. Its amazing how it feels only after three days of this.

2HRS1/2

Day two

2HRS

First step!

       I am currently a 3D animation and CGI student at Dawson college. However, I aspire to eventually become a concept artist. This past semester, I had started to falter and almost ceased to paint in Photoshop except the occasional inspiration and character design class. The more time passed, the more I felt my skills decrease every time I worked on simple projects. I have now taken a resolve, to paint every day. Even for a meager 10 minutes, I will have to do it if I am to become what I want to be.

     Here is day 1, the 15th of November 2011.

3HRS

       I'm looking towards a productive future!
