Life drawing -- CTNX/airports

A little bit of the sketching that I managed to get away with in between running back and forth between workshops and portfolio reviews at CTNX! I had a blast and can't wait to go back next year!

Life Drawing HW -- Ben Lane talk

Ben Lane, a CCAD alum and story artist at Disney, took some time last week to talk to us via Skype! I also did a little sketching in between note taking.

Lifedrawing HW -- CCAD

Still sketching people in class. I pay attention, I swear.

Halloween Sketching!

Went to a Halloween party thing at one of my favorite bars and did some sketching. A mix of people actually in costume and 'monster-fying' other bar patrons not in costume.

Lifedrawing HW -- CCAD campus

More classmate sketching!

Lifedrawing HW -- dogs!

I was at a friend's house and she had a cute little puppy, so I tried to sketch him really quickly.

Lifedrawing HW -- Tyler Bolyard Talk

Tyler Bolyard came to talk about working as a modeler and texture artist! Lots of good stuff, but I focus best when I'm doodling.

Lifedrawing HW -- In Class/Around Campus

Had a lot of presentations this past week, so did some sketching of some of my classmates. Also it was nice outside, so I ate lunch in the quad and sketched people hanging out.

Lifedrawing HW -- CCAD campus

It was really beautiful out the other day, so I sat on the quad and sketched people outside and sitting in Crane.

Head Hunting

Sketching and caricaturing random people walking around.

Then I took one of my sketches and pushed it a bit further. Lots of fun!

Zoo sketches

I went to the zoo the other day and got a lot of sketching in! And I even got to feed a giraffe!

Lifedrawing HW -- The Hills Market

This past week I did some lunch time sketching at the Hills Market.

Character Design from Life

I took some loose life drawing sketches from when I was at 16-bit and turned them into a more interesting character. I really enjoyed working on this!

Character Swap

I was given another student's life drawing gesture and had to make it into an interesting character with personality and back story.

Here was the original one (from my classmate, Laura Mansfield):

And here are my rough sketches and final design. I found myself responding to the really loose, soft lines in Laura's original sketch and tried to keep that sense of roundness and softness in the final design.
