What it Means to be Human

2010-07-06T08:53:00.004-04:00

let's see, decided to try something new with my newfound photoshoppin' talents :P I downloaded some cool grundgy-paint splattery brushes and got to work with the idea of humanity in mind. Kindof started with a lot of jumbled mess and eventually I added/ subtracted things, shifted, added new elements and vualla! Meh. 's all right i suppose, I love some parts, despise others. But like i said, a total experiment using some new techniques.

So I got to borrow a laptop for yearbook camp completely equipped with all the Adobe programs. So I amped it up with my Wacom Tablet, and went to work, and this is what I made.

Been really busy lately, but here's a smattering of stuff I've been doodlin' around with in the "pad".

Drew this picture that I took. Didn't really know what to do for the background, so I didn't!

Let's Try Some Abstract

2010-03-20T22:19:00.002-04:00

It started with some Photoshop warping of black lines, and eventually I went crazy. its based off of a picture of me in a french cafe, (that's me on the lower left pondering the meaning of life) and then a waiter, some tables, a car, and trees. If you don't see it, no worries, because abstract can be anything you want.

Muchos Edificios Importantes

2009-12-23T16:57:00.003-05:00

Here's the rough version of another drawing I've been working on for the portfolio. I originally drew the pencils in my sketch pad and then after scanning it to the computer, I changed the Leaning Tower of Piza to Chizén Itzá on the bottom right. I also added the great wall and Sidney Opera House on the left. Hopefully I'll be able to color it.
Cheers! and if I don't post again before friday, I hope that everyone has a Merrry Christmas and a safe holiday.

A Different Side of Rock

2009-12-02T21:25:00.004-05:00

I am interesting in a summer camp for art at Washington at St. Louis. Its bundles of money, but I could possibly get a scholarship if I submit some of my work. So I decided to ramp it up and make some new stuff. Here's the first completed piece for my portfolio. It started as a lame pencil work without much detail and became pretty awesome I think. I even saved each step progressively to display my steps of work.

1. Rough blue pencils, start as shapes and circles then move to more defined things. I use a graphic tablet which is great and I do a lot of scribbling just to find what I want things to look like. These blue lines can later be easily removed with Photoshop.
2. With inking, I can either continue with my graphic tablet and ink digitally, or print the pencils out and ink by hand, and then scan that back into the computer. I can zoom to get greater detail digitally, but I can also work in homeroom by hand. Hardly matters either way, however, for this drawing I did the inks digitally, outlining, with some complete black shading.
3. Colors are the most drastic step. I used a new method, and consequently think that the colors come out much clearer and brighter than previous pieces. Fairly basic, I'm not a very good colorer, but eh.
4. I think another dynamic step. I was going to put in a blank solid colored background, but my dad told me to "go big or go home". I was too lazy to draw in lights or people, so I favored editing in a phot onto the selected background regions. The picture was very dark and vivid, and the drummer got lost in the action, so I made the background more transparent.
5. Finally, I added sillouettes of crowd people and touched up any yucky areas.

Hope y'all like it!
