Many sketches

2010-09-08T14:09:00.000-07:00

Hey guys, here is a collection of a bunch of doodles I did to get into drawing vehicles more. Vehicles has always been something I have admired but had a tough time getting a grasp of- so to aid me I took a look at my classmates Danny, Annis' work and of course my mentor Scott Robertson to start out. It is no big secret that you can see their shape and style influences in these drawings. I know that I can put a my style into the drawings after many more little sketches.

By the way, if you haven't yet, take a gander at the new book Drive that is coming out soon

ka boom- a study.

Last day of 4th term!

2010-04-22T18:06:00.000-07:00

What a relief, my last class was today and now it is time for videogaming/movies and freelancing for the next 4 months :D

2010-04-05T21:38:00.000-07:00

2010-04-01T14:48:00.000-07:00

just a bit of photobashing to do some "quick" comps- more to come

2010-03-26T07:27:00.000-07:00

This was for my costume design class- our model and theme was 1950s Dior style clothing- Extremely fun to play with a different style for me :D

2010-03-23T14:35:00.000-07:00

60's style in costume design class today. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the music, although i kept thinking of Lady Gaga with the glasses

Pages from the sketchbook

2010-03-09T19:03:00.000-08:00

So as an assignment for my visual communications class, we are to find our own style in sketch/rendering. I chose to focus on sketching since that has always been a larger struggle for me. Overall I am liking the direction I am going- I have always been a fan of super graphic drawings but keeping with detail. Definitely more to come.

2010-03-05T09:54:00.000-08:00

2010-01-26T02:31:00.000-08:00

So this is the homework done for the first week of art center (more to come soon this week from other classes)
The idea for this topic was to use a combination of pictures, drawings, etc steps to get to a more unique way of ideating for a mechanical object
Had a lot of fun with these and the final of this will be posted later this week also

Robo galore

2010-01-19T10:45:00.000-08:00

Imaginatomy

2010-01-02T17:31:00.000-08:00

So this creature design was done for a class at Art Center called Imaginatomy taught by Rey Bustos. Basically the first half of the term we make a human skeleton (I will post that soon) and the second half we build out our creatures skeletons. This is all made from wire and Sculpey, baked in the oven and finally painted with spray paint. After the paint settles we then wipe on wood stain to give it that old bones look. At the end I created the creatures environment with rocks made out of foam and sprayed that with several coats of spray paint. Lastly, I dusted all the rocks with baking powder to mimic snow.

2009-10-07T08:25:00.000-07:00

So it is week 5 of Art Center term 3- here is a snapshot of one class called Creative ID. Out of the 6 books given, I had chosen The Time Machine to adapt to a live action movie. Originally the book takes place in England, however in my version the time traveler goes to Hong Kong China to teach (19th century). In Hong Kong he kit bashes a steam engines/ grandfather clocks/ hour glasses and rickshaws+fancy chinese chairs to make his time machine.

Here are several pages from my portfolios

Art Center College Of Design Entertainment Design Major

2008-06-25T18:20:00.000-07:00

lets keep this short...I GOT INTO THE NEW ENTERTAINMENT DESIGN MAJOR!

oh man, 7 weeks of busting ass putting this crazy portfolio together was worth it. I spent the past 3 days at art centers computer lab just composing all my pages together and printing it all out. I went in at like 1pm in the afternoon and left at 4am for two days straight. I learned so many hand keys for photoshop and ways of solving things, it was sick. I have to say though, i really enjoyed all the time spent putting it all together.

oh yeah and i will post my portfolio images sometime soon.

2008-06-10T02:55:00.000-07:00

hey guys, i wont be posting for about a month or so...really cracking down on my portfolio and have to get it done ASAP!! but no worries, i shall post pages after i turn that sucker in. stay tuned.

2008-05-29T23:44:00.000-07:00

2008-05-17T21:59:00.000-07:00

Figure drawing at PCC, the last one is of a classmate on portrait day- we all had to sit for each other to be drawn..fun but kind of creepy in a way. Somehow i was creeped out seeing my face drawn by other people.

2008-05-14T13:56:00.000-07:00

This is what I did instead of 3d homework..I got a new sketchbook yesterday (didnt finish my old one yet) I plan to continue working in my old but the texture and color of the new one is really interesting. The paper is super rough as you can see on the rhino drawing below- but Its always fun to change it up a bit (so sick of plain white paper).

2008-05-12T15:15:00.000-07:00

mini preview of a painting im working on

2008-05-10T21:13:00.000-07:00

2008-04-13T03:37:00.000-07:00

mmm not sleeping early again but had a little fun with a thumbnail drawing I did the other day

2008-04-13T00:51:00.000-07:00

oh man, im having a scanning fest right now- the scanner is all warmed up so its moving fast. well here are some little ink things i did earlier today instead of working on my Arctic Guard. One is of those nasty deep sea fish..blehh. alls I got to say is If i knew I were in water with one of those- id probably die from shock...and then it would eat my remains? damn it.

art rage 2!

2008-04-08T02:16:00.000-07:00

well was messing around with this free program called Art Rage

quite a nifty little program that simulates oil paint. Not bad, about a year ago i tried this program and wanted to smash it, but since ive been painting in oils this made more sense. had a little fun from the mind and goign with my comfort zone, bahhh

missing in action

2008-04-07T12:42:00.000-07:00

Been gone for a while but I have been working on paper a lot. Here are a few things from the past few weeks.

An abstract painting I did for fun- supposed to be dragon-like though. Its posted onto my wall now in front of my desk.
A painting, I was going for realistic...ehh I just like his sleeve the most and i know the hand is off dang it
This pallete we had to make the values darker than what we saw- i didnt achieve that

This was the same guy as the one I did for "realistic" except I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone so i went for complementary and highly saturated pallete. I like this one a lot although I see the many issues after taking a pic of it. I shall fix them--

crawling out of my mind

2008-04-02T15:40:00.000-07:00

nintendo ds again while at the gym

comfort zone again?

2008-03-30T14:41:00.000-07:00

done from the mind with a bit of reference from the hudson school painters. i still think its too much in my comfort zone though.

im poseidon?

2008-03-29T04:46:00.000-07:00

hmm really had an itch to use my tablet and photoshop still- so heres a doodle

originally i started it out as a self portrait but then i saw the squiggly hair and i thought of poseidon- so heck - threw a beard on and there ya go..although i kept my eyebrow piercing, haha!

Mmm

2008-03-29T03:47:00.000-07:00

this was fun- on the nintendo ds from the mind

bot bot wants a hug!

2008-03-24T22:01:00.000-07:00

well here it is guys, a cliche robot! done on my nintendo ds with Colors- woot.

I was actually painting this guy up while I was biking at the local gym. I have to say though, Monday nights at the gym SUCKS. Of course, everyone feels guilty for eating whatever they ate on the weekend, so its the busiest day of hte week there. Really, it was ridiculous- although I wish a 24 hour fitness could open up so i can go in the middle of the night :P

alright

2008-03-23T21:54:00.000-07:00

done in photoshop from a picture

the challenge of doing it with the brush set at 100 percent opacity- no hiding issues with fancy "dry brushing". I had planned this study to take 15 minutes cept it ended up taking an hour. I gotta say, it really challenges you to know your values and colors dead on. However, I couldnt resist and used a lower texture brush just for the "dust" that the guy pushed around.

fat fish

2008-03-23T13:24:00.000-07:00

Here are some paintings from my class on tuesdays and thursdays. The one of the older lady was from probably a month ago- the pallete was limited and we were going for realistic. The one of the bummish guy - I cannot remember what pallete it is but I know i probably didnt acheive it since I cant even figure it out looking at it. The one of hte Thai guy- was extremely fun to paint- we had to use the low key pallete. The low key pallete really means you have to make all the values lighter than what you see. I have to say, this class has probably been one of the most challenging because it really takes me out of my comfort zone. Its easier to paint what you see rather than sort of "distorting" what you see . For example, the painting of the Thai guy, I kept having to fight off the thought of making it to its "true" colors cause the guys skin color was just fantastic. Oh speaking of the Thai guy painting, I also tried to make it have complimentry shadows. Lastly this little sketch of a weird guy and his moose-like animal..mmm nothing much, was just trying to stretch my mind.

hmm

2008-03-23T03:13:00.000-07:00

heres a 20 minute speedy I did..mm not happy with it but i like the concept.

testing again

2008-03-22T14:58:00.000-07:00

mmm seeing what my skill level is at painting my own designs...oh man do i have to do more of these if i want to really get somewhere aghh. fight on natches and i dont mean in that USC way.

testing

2008-03-22T01:58:00.000-07:00

ahh proportions, damn you.

study

2008-03-20T13:43:00.000-07:00

well i suck at painting up hard surfaced stuff, so here is a study

hm

2008-03-20T04:22:00.000-07:00

heres the same abstract painting which i threw into photoshop and played around with it and chopped it up.

taste my memory

2008-03-20T00:13:00.000-07:00

Something I never do but should do more often. Its called Rage. The original way i painted this is in the 3rd image, landscape position with those ugly colors. I like this hue changed vertical one I played around with in photoshop instead.

From the ol sketchbook, need to do stuff from the mind everyday. I notice i always draw muscle heads, aye.

fly above the sea

little dino creature

2008-03-05T05:00:00.000-08:00

ah if anyone knows me, they know im a fan of dinosaurs. Ever since i was a kid i always loved playing with plastic dinosaurs...go figure...barbies didnt interest me at all haha.

Im pitching this idea to my teacher to turn into 3d for my 3d maya class. I think he will be a pain in the rear to model and animate, but gotta be ambitious right? we ll see what happns and i ll for sure put updates on this little guy.

more paintings from art center

2008-03-01T14:01:00.000-08:00

2008-02-15T00:37:00.000-08:00

Here are two DS paintings, both done at art center, one in the lunch room and the other in the parking lot before I went home.

kind of hard to tell i figure, supposed to be a table with a chair.,

another warm afternoon

2008-02-13T01:36:00.000-08:00

heres a sketch I did yesterday while biking at the gym. Did a painting for today it hasnt dried yet, will post it tomorrow.

great day

2008-02-12T02:39:00.000-08:00

ah it was such a nice day today, I hope it stays this way cause winter was biting cold as usual. So this is the week, this is the week us Art Center hopefuls are clinging to our mail boxes in hopes of being accepted. I have to say, everytime i think about the letter coming, my stomach churns, bleghhh. ah well, here are some drawings/paintings from today and a few days ago. If i had not stated before, my plan is to do a painting a day (minimum). These were done with acrylic paint and are about 2 x3.5 inches wide. All were painted from pictures but I plan to gain enough skill to be able to paint outside from life with the same confidence.

p.s crap you guys get to see my terrible handwriting, HAHA

bam

2008-02-11T02:06:00.000-08:00

Some old speed paintings I never finished so i just bunched them up--speed cut off on purpose.
