Gestures

Experimenting using loose line gestures to develop my composition then adding in hints of human features.

Micro buggy

Here is a quick sketch to black and white render of a little dune rider rendered in Sketchbook pro 2010. I tried to keep the idea pretty simple and pump out more of these little guys.

Car

So, recently I have devoted some time to get a little drawing done for fun. This one was sent in from my friend Oliver who would have liked to see a development from a loose sketch he did. However this is a result of it.

Sci-fi Pinup

2008-12-13T11:46:00.000-08:00

I really enjoy working with monochromatics really for creating a dramatic look. Here I tried to do some figure sketch of a girl presenting an electric scooter. I started first by doing a loose sketch with a 50% fill and opacity and a hard edge brush. Later I began to tighten and soften the image where needed. The 4 dots of color are my palette of colors that forward my range of light to dark with 2 medium tones between. I feel this is a good practice for my skills in figure drawing. I don't seem to do much of it, but I'll give it one more try. But now looking at it I'm thinking it may need some more contrast.

Floating Girl Sketch

2008-11-29T14:13:00.001-08:00

This is a sketch I've been working on trying to get a little looser in styling. In this effort I was trying to work with lighting and the human figure. I was trying to use a gestural nature to the drawing by applying a 20 and 30 percent flow and opacity on the brush. Gotta keep working on this process before I get something worth finishing.

Old Gun

2008-11-19T12:56:00.001-08:00

Just been checking out on some old stuff that I've done to get myself re-inspired. I ended up finding this old gun that I had rendered in Alias sketchbook pro and I used shades of violet to fill some quick color in. My goal from this is to create some scene inspired from my image of a gun. I also plan to get this shaded in a similar technique to simply get the point across and not get too detailed with the shading.

Some thinking

2008-11-04T18:58:00.001-08:00

Well,
Still been pretty busy, but while watching this election coverage on tv I did a little sketching of some new ideas. I don't normally show these sketches just because they are so loose and gestural. Really the are to help me get an idea across within the matter of seconds. Proportion is a small concern but it is more than likely changed as the refinement goes on. I'm really liking the girl with the vignette over her head and also the 3 wheel cruiser with some mean eyes and a utilitarian body. Keep up with the progress.

More stuff later

2008-09-29T13:00:00.000-07:00

Im going to be pretty busy until the 10th of October. Come back for a little visit soon. Got some important stuff to wrap up.

Core 77's 1HDC

2008-09-27T19:32:00.000-07:00

Well, I was very excited to start to see some nice work posed up on core 77 lately and I just felt compelled to try again, plus I was getting bored at the house. So I cranked up the old camera and taped it up on my cabinet in the kitchen and began sketching again. This time I wanted to design a vehicle under a 1 hour time period that was a little more realistic in the context of our present time. I sketched up a utility vehicle with a set of light cool grey markers at 10% and 30% and then added darker details with a 60% cool grey. Check out the 2min time lapse video and be prepared to see a few more of these coming in the near future.

Welcome

2008-09-11T07:36:00.000-07:00

Hi,
Welcome to my blog. Hopefully what I will be prepared to explain is my process and development through each of my works from a point of inspiration to the very end of the work.

Mainly what I want to include in here is my development of digital painting of scenes and concepts when I have a little free time from Industrial Design (my profession. As for now, I am ready to explore more types of these ideas and work on these in as a hobby, however, this development would be great for a little freelance. Plus, I need to take full advantage of my Cintiq.
