Final Project

Finlay done! I really like how it came out. the only thing I would do if I had more time would I would put the figures of some of my other characters in the background.

weekly goal

My goal this week is to get my background finished!

Last week

I finally got done with the two characters in my picture. It took longer then i wanted because the programme crashed and i lost about a full class period. know all that's left is the background.

weekly goal

I plan to finish the coloring on my characters and to at lest start the background. hoping to maybe finish it.

weekly update

For the most part I got my goal done. the only problem I ran in to is that when I was doing the wings the programme froze and I lost all the progress I had maid on them. so I'm not done with the wings. other then that I got everything I wanted accomplished.

weekly goal

For my goal this week its to get the coloring and shading of the two characters finished. I would also maybe like to start working on the background

Weekly Reflections #1

So this week I didn't meat my goal but I am relay liking how this is coming out. I am finding that both the line art and coloring is taking me longer then expected. Also I haven't figured out yet what I want the background to be yet. I am realy like the way it is coming out so far though. especially the characters eyes!

Weekly goal

I would like to finish coloring both my characters and start to work on the background more.

week one update

Not as far as i would like to be but getting their. its taking longer then I thought to do the line art in photoshop. manly because I'm having to go back and fix most of my lines.

My Proposal

My proposal is to do a digital drawing of to of my characters (from different storys that my friend and I created.) fighting each other. I will have them on different sides of the page in fighting stances. I haven't decided the exact setting but I was thinking maybe a open field with a storm going on, or have the field burning. whats original about this is that it is of my own original characters fighting each other. My motivation for this is I always wondered what would happen if they not only met each other, but how would win in a fight. so I hope I comes out great. Also PLACE YOUR BETS!

Essay on Phoenix

Out of the five inspirational peaces of art my favorite is Phoenix by WhiteRaven90 on devientart.com. When I look at this peace I see a bright majestic phoenix, rising through the hot smock and flames. The artist did a great job at defining the details on the Phoenix it looks like if you plunked a feather off of it, it would burn your hand. Even thought this peace doesn’t have much of a background the transfer from black to vibrant dark red to bright yellow makes you feel like your seeing it emerge from flames. In fact when I look at this peace I can’t help but think of the myth that when a phoenix dies, another one is born from the ashes. I like that they chouse to draw it in this style because it makes us of the bright and vibrant colors and how you can make a digital painting look simpler to a real painting. This peace reflects my idea because one of my characters in my idea is part phoenix (she has Phoenix wings). Also I am doing a digital painting like she did. The difference is that one I am not focusing on just drawing a phoenix and mine is going to be drawing more in a manga/anima style rather then painting.
