April Figure Drawings

Here are some recent figure drawings.

Completely Inaccurate Bird Skulls

Orilly, another update so soon? Yes.

In the past few days I have been fascinated by bird skulls, so naturally I just HAD TO crank it out. What do you guys think? Work on it some more or call it done?

Is Fine Art Not "Ok"?

Is it something... or is it nothing?

Figure Drawing March 2009

Slowly getting back into figure drawing, still very far from being solid. These are some of the ones I did in today's workshop. 1-5 min poses, although some I went back and add stuff on. Faber Castell Pitt Pastel pencil works pretty well on newsprint, this could be the end for Conte.

Dr. Lecter's Corridor

Sketches

Some of the sketches I did today.

Oil Study

I avoided oil painting for as long as I could, but it's inevitable once I enter the illustration major. It took me the entire 5-hour class to get to this stage. The tough part was getting the flesh tones right and making the light to emerge using only the primaries plus white. The hair, ear, and neck could've been better but I ran out of time. I think this is the only decent improvement I had during the past six weeks of class. It's looking pretty generic "Hey, look at me, I'm going to Art Center" kind of painting at this point. I need to work on capturing personality next time.

Constipation

The point is: always bring good reading material when you take a dump.

My name is... Fabio Drachula.

O0o... Dragon

Blah.

It's Back! With More Craziness!

A sketch I did today. Unfortunately, a lot of fine lines and details faded in the scan. I got frustrated and lost my patience trying to paint over it, so I took the easy way out and mess it up like a 3-year-old.

The Metamorphosis Meets Davy Jones

I am no longer a part of the Entertainment Design gang =*(, now I'm just a loner amongst the midst of the cool Illustration kids (Entertainment Arts). I wish there was a middle ground between the two majors, or maybe I should do both eheheehehehe.... Anyhow, we all know illustrator kids do weird stuff, so it's time for me to take a stab at it.

This was an assignment for Digital Design 1 class at Art Center, which was to try out different brushes in PS3. I took about 2 hours total, most of the time spent was mainly trying noodle the textures.

Sketchbook Pages

A few pages from 2008 sketchbook.

Happy Holidays 2008!

This is a photoshoped version of a sketch I did for my niece's Xmas gift. Cheers!

Crazed Red Face Monkey

Anime

An attempt at a neo-anime-esque-ish head sketch.

Creature Head - Behemoth

Portrait of Sir Montag

This is a picture of my amazing photographer friend Guy Montag. You can check out his blog here or his flickr page here. I painted this in PS for about 2 hours. I had too much fun playing with the brush strokes and lost track of his likeness (better luck next time eh?).
