Omg, it's been so long.

I don't know what happened to me in the past 2 months.

Since November I didn't really sat my butt in the chair and actually tried to do something good. All the activities from College I did was really really lame. Again, I don't know what happened.

The things is, I'm back into business. Here's the "worth showing" stuff since November, and a sketch I did today (and planning on doing one post-worth a day).

Yep. Only TREE paintings worth posting since NOVEMBER. I must slap myself for this.

Now back on track.

After some weeks of my new schedule, I decided to follow some of the mentoring classes my fellow Crimson Daggers members were doing. I won't post everything on the forum, but I'll do the mentoring from Sickbrush, Dan Warren, Isra, Brent and Shyam Shriram. The one from Sam Carr is good also, but dunno if I'll have time. I'm already out of time. Again, I'm not pretending to follow the classes, I'll do it at my own time.

I already did some from Isra and Sickbrush, about perspective. Now I focused on Shyam's. (all the master studies above are for his mentorship)

The Master studies:

 

Lots of things happening. :) Here's my latest works:

This one is a study after a photo from a girl in Suicide Girls:

This one I did on the Cintiq from College. Goooosh, I need to have one of those someday :)

This one is my submission for the Assassin's Creed challenge held by #brazil on dA. The results will come up october 20th.

This are a series of 5 paintings I did for my Illustration class. The first one I won't post here because I didnt liked it. My goal was to make a more loosey feel, however I failed as you can see and started adding too much detail. Need to work on that. The five illustrations were about Bernard Cornwell Saxon Stories.

And here are some of the sketches I did prior to the last piece (I didnt saved the other ones :c)

 

That's it for today folks! Hope to post more things soon.

A lion study for something I had in mind and gave up, and a doodle of a minotaur that was influenced by the 20+ studies of lions I did over the week.

I got back from my hometown. It was very different this time, because I actually could do some studies with pencil in my sketchbooks :)

Well, this is what I did today, however, I couldnt get the image by Brent Hollowell (Cursed Prince) from my mind while I was doing this witch from the Wardstone Chronicles, Grimalkin!

Gosh, I just love that character. I'll try to do some more of her :)

Oookay. I spend one week with my tablet and now I have to return to my hometown again ¬¬ Gosh, I can't stand this. One more week without digital painting.

Apart from that, I finished that wolf illustration I had in mind:

And did some one hour or less doodles:

As I have to spend another week just with pencils, at least I plan on doing lots of studies this time, because I really need to get my fundamentals right! :) let's see what happens.

Hey! :)

After spending a week in my hometown 'cause I had to remove my wisdom teeths, and just sketching some crap in my sketchbooks, I returned to my college town and spent the days doing digital painting again <3

So, I had this idea that came from nowhere of a girl with wolves. And I slowly began to do it, until this point (yes, it's unfinished and it will stay that way):

I was rendering - or at least trying to - the wolves, and realized: what. the. f. was. that. I do not know how to draw a wolf. Never did one.

So I did some studies :) Took me all day, but I'm happy with the results. I learned a lot. And I also have to thanks Fer (http://fdasuarez.deviantart.com/) for the insight about the fur!

And now I'm doing the image I wanted before, haha. Still gonna take me some time tough. And I also have other illustration in mind :) wooo happy week.

AND, I've been very insecure about my college lately. I mean, I know what I want for myself. However, that's not what anyone can teach me here. I'm slowly starting to believe I have to travel far. And my toughts, for the moment, are hovering around California... :) However, the financial problem is, well, still a problem, duh. So, my own self-study will have to do for now!
