For one assignment in Principles of Illustration, we were asked to pick a magazine or news article that had illustrations, and create our own replacement illustrations. My choice: Patton Oswalt's review of KFC's Famous Bowls for the Onion A.V. Club.
"...this was a level of crap I hadn't earned a belt in yet."
In the Digital Trio class we learned how to paint in Illustrator. Now I need to learn how to hold back a little.
(This guy is a Fygar.)
We also did a little Photoshop painting, of course.
This guy was inked in Illustrator and painted in Photoshop, a process I'm not likely to repeat due to the amount of effort required.
I got a lot out of the Color section of Techniques I. I hadn't played around much with color media, apart from Photoshop. I'd worked with oils before, but couldn't get the hang of it. Watercolor was a little easier.
These are some fish.
(assignment: using a cool palate, paint fish from provided reference)
A zombie horse.
(assignment: using earth tones, paint a horse from provided reference)
The Composition section of Techniques 1 was interesting, and I wish we could have spent more time exploring it.
(assignment: create a composition with at least 5 characters in costume from provided reference, using at least 4 basic types of composition)
The final assignment for this class was to pick a masterpiece painting and reconstruct the composition using different elements. My choice: Mary Cassatt's The Bath.
A posed skeleton for Anatomy and Figure Drawing.
And finally, a cafe scene in charcoal, drawn from life.
