[ART] Agh the headache
So I've been sick the past week. Actually I've been coming down with something for awhile now but since I spent the weekend nursing my boyfriend's high fever, I think it rubbed off on me a little. The world was a little kinder to me since my Monday class got canceled so I managed to scrap time to finish my Tuesday's homework in time. I came down with the fever on Tuesday during class. Its a little better now but urgh, the headache is killing me.
So here's an art post before I go to crash on my bed.
I invested in some technicolour markers from Blicks since I wanted to throw some colours into my sketches. I like fashion illustrations even though I'm not too good at them so it was me just taking a shot at a slightly different approach.
These were referenced from Vogue France. I'm not entirely sure which month's issue it is but just as a disclaimer if anyone recognizes it.
And another. Anyone feel the Bahamas vibe?
I guess we could consider this a tribute of mine to the death of all the Borders branches around the city. It was drawn in my last session at the cafe with Andrew, Cia Ee and Shadoe.
The rest below is from my class assignment of Bruce Timm's art style. Its deceptively simple and a lot harder then it looks to emulate properly.
Five female heads.
Five male heads. They're not very Bruce Timm but I like them.
Asides from these figures I also had a rather gay looking Superman. I've disposed of that one already though so yeah : p
Things I've learnt from the past few weeks.
- I draw still very comic book like. I need to simplify more but I'm getting the hang of it, I think.
- My line quality sucks balls but omg it looks worse when I scan it =-=;
- I actually find emulating styles of people who design for superhero cartoons albeit annoying. Mostly because of the men. They take the whole 'masked' crusader thing a little too far. There are SO many men wearing masks that its almost impossible to find references of a male character's face WITHOUT the mask. And even if I copy it line for line, my teacher will still say it doesn't really look like the style which I half believee is because we barely ever see them without the mask >_>; That or all the men look the same under the mask +_+;
- Being an illustrator doing 'animation' type linework is hard. For one thing, in illustration, I love to do the 'lost and found' line quality which is something HIGHLY disdained in animation work. Lets just say I'm working with balancing the conflict.
- I think I'm making progress. I wonder how stuff I design on my own after Week 6 will be.
It was supposed to snow tomorrow but judging from the unexpected amount of sunlight we've been getting today, I'd say that rumor's been shot down for good. While I'm a little disappointed, some part of me is happy that I won't have to put up with it being extra cold while trying to get better >_>;
Btw Malaysian/ Singapore peeps, is the Borders in the your country closing down as well? I know while I was in the UK a year and a half ago the company had gone bust and they're finally shutting down the ones all around San Francisco as well. I'm curious to know how its affecting the branches in Asia.
