Here are a couple of drawings from my class. These first two were done in about 7-10 minutes, and the third was done in about 20. All of the drawings are on 18×24. I laid out very few markings with a 2h then started with charcoal pencils. After the pencils I would use vine/willow charcoal to get even more depth and values.

I am going to update this entry as I add more and more to this scene. This is something I have been working on, and I add to it little by little. Practice, is what this amounts to. I duplicated the walls, and floor to make the scene a little bigger. Also quickly modeled some lights to see what kind of effect it would bring. I feel like I need to double the amount of those types of lights to get the place lit correctly. I may try the area lights instead? Here it is, current as of Sept 9th. (Sept 11th)I added the air ducts, and some bill boards. I will probably texture the billboards tomorrow, it is only 3:40 in the morning
Scrapped this and moving onto to something else. I do not like the direction this is going…Some of the textures seem off(like the columns look like the need to be in a tomb or something), I may keep some of the props and use them later though
I will update periodically.

Well, last night was very interesting. I made an ass of myself to the CEO and President, Randy Pitchford, met a nice guy on a balcony, Jim, and had a bottle of water!
It was so crazy walking around this party last night. I am trying to get an entry level job and seeing all these people I watch on youtube, and get interviewed in magazines I read. Well anyways here are my photos/videos from last night. My cell phone took crappy audio, so you might turn it down lol.

I tried embedding the videos and it messed up my frames. I will post links. The Borderlands is the trailer that has been out. The Alien video though I had not scene. It was someone walking up to the face hugger egg, and it hatches, as the person describes what he is seeing, the face hugger jumps at the person. LOOKED SOOOO GOOD!
Until next time.

Taking drawing three with Ms. Windrow at Eastfield college. She told me in conversation the other day, someone from Id was taking her drawing class just because they had never taken a formal art class. They had to drop because crunch time came and he had no time for the class…Here is some of my gesture drawings. Time ranging from 30 seconds to 10 minutes. 18×24 sketch pad.
I may upload others later.
