character and life drawing update

I guess it'd be about time I showed some character stuff for my film.
The pond sprite it pretty much locked to this design (slight variations here and there), not to these colours yet though.
And just a pass for the little girl. I still have to play around with it and get comfortable drawing her. Well both, really. The pond sprite has been the same since the summer (and I had sneakily put her in my banner!), though the little girl showed up in the story once school started.

























Some kinda boring recent life drawings and quick hand drawings from being completely bored in an elective class :|

it's coming...

..err, the film, it's coming along :D

(just a concept drawing to keep this blog going while I'm boarding)

zoo #3

These are from the last zoo trip from this summer! (a week and a half ago)

I really loved sitting and watching the flamingos, there were so many of them and they were all doing slightly different things so there was a good variety to draw from. They got pretty aggressive towards each other too which was neat to observe.
And those red river hogs are just awesome! :D
































I hope I can get to the zoo at least one more time before the film really takes over my schedule (it's already happening!) But if not, I'm pretty happy with the drawings I got 8)

I guess my next post will most likely be film related since that's all I'll be doing! Though I don't think I'll be posting everything I draw for it.

zoo number two

The zoo is so much fun! :D










































I still need to get better at gestures though :I

summer cafés 09

Here's some cafe drawings from the past couple of weeks.
I'm so rusty!
I took a lot longer on these than I normally would have, I guess I was focusing on making them characters instead of getting their gestures. I need to get better with gestures.





























Drawing people from the back is much more relaxing, I don't have to worry about messing up their faces :I

summer zoo trip #1

A few of us went to the zoo yesterday and it was the first time I went since almost last year so I was majorly rusty.
And I didn't get too many drawings, but the ones I did get, I think I like.
I plan to go again a (few times!) before school starts up again. That only gives me..less than a month!


















And we went to Stingray Bay and pet the stingray(s) which was actually really cool! There were some bottom-dwelling sharks in there too but they were pretty shy.


These are just 2 concept boards I drew up for my film that I liked, but won't be using them.

just some fanart

cause I felt like it :p

Frog Naveen somehow got into the wrong film >)










Referenced the bg big time for this.

I've seen a few people do one of these and they've been really pretty so I wanted to try it out and thought it'd be good practice for digital painting. Only actually somewhat pleased with the face though, I just wanted to get it done with by the time I was at the body :p

Taking a colouring page, you paint the character referencing a classical like painting.
The painting I referenced is this.
And the colouring page is this.

though I cropped it and changed her smile a little 8D
