Finally got around to rendering this gal- you might remember her from a sketch in a previous blog post. This is a before and after shot of when I posted her on facebook and then when I reworked her based on the feedback I got. 
Here's a character I did the other day during class. I hope to render her in the near future, but who knows when that will happen. The list of stuff I need to do only gets longer, never smaller. Still plugging away at my thesis!
There's nothing I like more than making a "To Do" list and then crossing off things on it. I started making daily to do lists when I began planning my wedding over a year ago. But the habit stuck. My to do lists always seem to have some sort of focus like house work or errands to run. Lately their primary focus is my thesis or simply schoolwork-which is always my homework now. So here are some things for my thesis that I was able to cross off over spring break.
Sooooooo, here's lots of lovely tid bits. Colored line-up, some expression sheets, AND my attempt at 3D rendering. Still have a ways to go, but at least I'm making headway!!
Here is a more recent line up. I tried a new sort of shading technique with outlined cross hatching. Currently working on color roughs, five point turns and expression sheets. Thank goodness for my Inspirational art class and for my instructor Jeremy Saliba. The critiques in that class and his workshop are invaluable to me right now and are basically the reason that I am finally making some headway on my thesis!
First off, I LOVE my classes this semester. Definitely going to help with my thesis work, but I have a loooooooong way to go and not a lot of time. Here are some designs for my characters. As my instructor pointed out in class last Thursday, they still need some work. But Husband is gone this weekend, so work is all I plan on doing!
I spent all weekend + Monday in Tahoe with Husband. We sat around and played on our new iphones (Valentines day presents to ourselves) and took our dog on long walks by the Lake. These long walks brought to our attention how out of shape we are- though the spare tires we've been dragging around in our middles should have been our first clue.
