study

Lesson 02 from Andrew Hou

This week we had to do our second lesson from Andrew Hou at Schoolism. This is what I did this weekend. The assignment was to apply shadow and light, learning a lot of things!

houses

I wanted to practice drawing backgrounds, so I drew this drawing (up). I want to keep drawing rough so it doesn't takes too much time to draw until I get more the hang of it. I'ts only practicing.

Here are some doodles for that game project I'm working on.

concept art

I made some concept art for a new project I'm working on with some friends (for a game). They wanted to do something less cartoony and I liked to give it a try.

Here are the characters I made, you can see that Im still toying around with it. The anatomic tutorials really helps me allot with it. The hardest thing I find are making the poses.

I also started at making background sketches, that's still something new for me. So I'm also gonna experiment some more on that as well.

O yeah, we (Harmke and I) did some inking for John K a while back and in return we got some T-shirts with the inks on it. Awesome!

And he posted the picture of us on his blog: http://johnkstuff.blogspot.com/2011/01/holland-fashion-greetings.html

office backgrounds

Some office background practice drawings.

setup background

Im trying to learn how to setup backgrounds. I didn't really focused on design, so I tried to keep that as simple as possible. Thinking about what I could do next... Anyone suggestions?

Felix the cat, backgrounds study

John K posted some covers on his blog, I used one of them to make a background study.

I want to learn how to make drawings like this. Where backgrounds and characters are one whole. With this study im trying to understand how the artist is planning this, so I could apply it to my own drawings.
Here I made a study, it's quite hard because you have to manage allot of things. I did it quite fast and think I could have done a better job if I take some more time for it. I will do that next time, I think I can learn really allot of these study's.

Made one with the focus on the characters. I think i could have got the lines better.

composition practise

background

doodles

I like the sketch more. That's because of the staging. On that cheap linend paper I can trace, so I can experiment more with things thil they are correct. On the final drawing I couldn't do that... I really want a light table or an cintiq.
Not much to say, but here are some doodles.

Kurtzman and composition

John K posted a topic about Kurtzman and composition

I wanted to try to study some backgrounds like that. It will help me understand backgrounds better.


There are really allot of flow in these drawings. Great! Or I am seeing ghosts...
