Im on a Blender course right now..
Did this magic school girl, now its time to unwrap her and texture.. then im going to rig her, animate and render out. Got 1 week to do this.

Head and body done in 3dsMax. head sculpt done in Sculptris.

Not sure yet how to do the hair.. got 3 options: hair particle simulation, planes with alpha texture and a single solid mesh.

Just a quick sketch of my beloved Kagiyama Hina for this Caturday evening.
T5010
no ref
about 30 min maybe?

This is nice.. maybe i'll paint it big. This started in MS Paint in like 500x300 resolution. :)

Heres the 2nd emotion that we had to do.

Drawing and Painting course #2 begun.. But to my surprise we wont be doing any drawing nor painting.. but sculpting! what the hell....

Anyways.. 1st task was to pick some picture of a realistic/real character and do a sorta caricature/simplified version of it using plasticine.

I decided to do some sort of african american round-faced male head.

Pretty much 1st time i ever do anything "serious" with this type of media.. Took me 2 mornings.
Next task is to edit this sculpt and give the character emotion.

Damn! Blogspot made the picture 50% darker once again.. AArghh!!!

Anyways.... Charcoal, 1h, thick gray paper.

This weekend no inspiration to paint or draw.. so .... nothing much..

This time we couldnt do smooth shading and i decided to practice foreshortenings too...

Charcoal, thick gray paper, about 3 hours.

Here are some more self-portraits i did.. but very quickly becuase i had to go to another class..
TOP: 30 mins, a little bit of measuring
BOTTOM: about 5 minutes, no measuring.

Charcoal, thick gray paper.

This time we did a self-portrait. I had to go early so i did just a quick one. I did smooth some parts out.. so i will later take a updated photo of this.

EDIT: updated pic uploaded

charcoal, thick gray paper, mirror.

Top: Day 3 - HB Pencil, task was to use only line art.. no shading.

Bottom: Day 2 - charcoal, task was to paint LIGHT only.. so i put the whole paper black and erased light out of it.

Human life drawing course begun..
Charcoal on gray thick paper.

I did a rock sculpt in Zbrush for our short movie and when in 3DsMax viewport - i zoomed in a bit too much.. thats when this amazing inspiration-overflowing world opened to me :)
a quick 3d render and the final painting

T5010, No reference.. about 1,5h

I am going to make more of these!
