Candle Studies

Fun day in Nick Pugh's digital landscape class. We've been ding a lot of life painting but after critique today we did some timed candle studies. Each of these was 10 minutes, and I had forgotten how much I love having a timer on me. Strangely enough I enjoyed the glass candle the most, so many wonderful refections. Im going to have to do more of these timed still life paintings and close ups, I learned a lot in the process. Definitely encourage anyone to try it.

Environment Paintings

Victorian Steampunk+Advanced Perspective

Yeah, I know, again with the old stuff... Anyways here's some animation style renderings for my Viscomm class. they relate to the Steampunk/Victorian style drawings for Advanced perspective. Maybe one day I'll come up with a project that will include them. The last two images are more drawings for Advanced Perspective but they have their own little stories.

Study + Character Sketches

Some sketches. At the top is a painting from a photo, the inspiration was a piece by Tyler West. The others are just miscellaneous characters I was messing around with.

Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver

This is a sample of a project from my 3rd term at Art Center. It's a take on the 1960's German story Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver, done in an animation style. This class was called creative ID process and was probably the class I learned the most in, partially because of the subject being so different from my normal line of work and also because of the teacher Fridolin Beisert. Basically we did visual development for the story while trying to come up with designs that would break from normal thinking. I'll have to revisit this project some day, there's still a lot to do, but I'm glad I got around to doing characters and this style was extremely fun.

Pink Motha Trucka

Just did these this afternoon in a really fun, quick painting session. I'll go back into them at some point but it was definitely fun. Finals around the corner!

Nester Tandem Vehicle

So this post goes out to Vaughan Ling and Carlos Gonzalez, two of my buddies at CCS. They've been posting a lot on their blogs with some pretty inspiring stuff. You can check their blogs out here and here. It's funny cause I learned how to draw cars from Vaughan's old sketches from high school, and Carlos was the one that got me into Industrial design in the first place.

Anyways, enough cheesiness, this was a vehicle inspired by the egg and nest, just a quick little project I'd love to add more to. Hopefully I'll be able to add some interior shots and renders over break.
