TDA - Week 3-4

*Update No2* Final version

It's the 4th week (wow...) now here at The Drawing Academy. From last week my best piece was one boring composition excercise (last drawing).

Yesterday (Friday) we had a croquis excercise where we had to fill the entire paper by distorting the proportions of the model and I believe, strangely enough, that these are my best drawings since I came here.
I think that I achieved in bringing personality to the drawings.

Hope you like them ;)

Week 3:

The Drawing Academy - Week 2

This is stuff from the second week. Quick life drawings (croquis), some excercises and portraits.

First sketches for 2010

Happy New Year...Ho Ho Ho!!

New start!

(Drawing not mine)

New year, new start!

I finished my studies in Design Engineering, with the presentation of my dissertation in animation expressiveness, at Tuesday.

From 4 January I will be attending The Drawing Academy to prepare my portfolio for animation schools.
I was told that first week will involve yoga and meditation, with 2 hours of drawing for start, only.

Looking forward to a new start! Woohoo!!

Santa gone wild

I did this for a friend. Came up with this wild santa idea as I wanted to do a Christmas theme, but not a simple santa.
I worked on his posture a lot, until getting it right. There were a lot of difficulties with his fingers, his legs, especially his left. Think I've done pretty well...

My first commission! Ahaa

Hello again!
A really intensive period in my life... Dissertation that should be finished by mid-December, french language lessons to prepare for France, and no time to draw!

This is my first commission hoho! A relative of mine asked me to draw two teeth for children in school, one happy and one sad. So I did a little search on the internet to see what other artists had done.

The first"happy" tooth is a collection of ideas, even though not a straight copy of a specific illustration, so I couldn't claim it mine.
The second is completely mine though, that's why it sucks :P The arm is really bad, but I didn't put time into it to correct it.

Impatience

I don't have the patience to finish a self portrait from the mirror... If you notice, there is some evidence of the glasses I was wearing, but I was too lazy to finish them (:
Also noticed that i don't give shape to my shadows, and me thinks me have to!

I watched the politicians' debate and did quick caricature drawings (this was the only reason to watch it). Hope there is some similarity.

3D

I was also said that my drawings are not so three dimensional. I'm working towards fixing it, so here is a yesterday profile portrait

Gestures

Some krappy gestures i'm doing these days, watching football and basketball matches. Not very successful i guess, but some of them are worth, me thinks.
I don't know why the heck the blog resizes the image so small. The actual size is 800x4700

I was advised to also do quick drawings, apart from the medium-time drawings that i usually do. So here they are:

NEW links on the side

I've rearranged the tabs on the right side of the page. I've also added links for my Twitter account, for my blog RSS feed, and for my LinkedIn profile.

I took the design from these cool people:
-the first two from here
-the third from here

Thanks ;)
