SHM Figure Drawing

I try to attend a figure drawing session every Monday and Wednesday night at 6:30 pm, and Fridays at 1:30 pm. These sessions are hosted by SJSU's, The Shrunkenheadman Club, and cost only $4. Here is a 10 minute drawing from monday night.

Speedpaintings

My homework for advanced visual development has been to do speedpaintings from film stills to improve our use of color, and composition. Here is a sample of some of the paintings I've done, and an 8 hour study from the film Amelie.

First Semester of Vis Dev

First semester of vis dev is finally over. Courtney Granner's class really kicked my ass, but I've learned that there's so much more to concept art than creating pretty pictures. This class helped me realize that art is just another means of communication that I have to learn, so that I can visually convey the stories that I'm trying to tell. Here is a sample of the work I did this past semester. Hopefully I can get around to updating my blog more often.

Update

113b

Here are my final paintings from 113b. The assignment was to design a forest based on Shakespeare's A Mid-Summer Nights Dream, and then enchant it at night time.

Sack Pantomime

Here is my sack pantomime done for my 114 beginning animation class. It sucks... and I wish I could have spent more time on it... but it was a good learning experience.
