Life Drawing - 13.10.2015 & extra sketches

I was very happy and grateful to be allowed back in the life drawing class! Below are the results and few personal drawings from my sketchbook that were not the result of Wednsday's class - some neglected Inktober sketches and naked bodies. Obviously, I have never stoped drawing them.

Project Update: Sharwee .04

After a long break I went back to this personal project - Sharwee.
The reason why I abandoned it for around two months was an overall disappointment and not being sure what I actually wanted from it.

Playing around in Mudbox was rather frustrating. I tried different things, various options...when I started poly painting I realised that I actually had no clue what I was doing. I drew the concept art of Sharwee, but the 3D Sharwee was more of a lost twin cousin.

Sharwee got abandoned. Never finished, although often crossing my mind. I was constantly thinking about this project, trying to figure out the actual expectations I had towards it. It took me a lot of time to realise one, very simple solution - follow the concept art. Why trying to make him realistic if every drawing of him would always be stylized and simple.

I also came across some really amazing examples of 3D work that inspired me to return to Sharwee and give him another try. This project is not finished yet, although in my opinion it's already looking way better. It's true to the character's initial design and it's not trying to be something else.

Świato-schmerz: Insomnia

Illustration 1 out of who knows, that I am planning on creating. Problems with sleeping affect many people, but they always feel terrible and draining. This is how I feel when I can't sleep.

Sharwee Concept Art

After a long fight it's finally done! Sharwee's concept art is all brand new and fresh and I hope it will look nice with the model (once it's complete...).

Also I decided to post a little comparison for motivation (my own and perhaps others). It is good to see progress! Yesss :)

New Designers 2015: Music Video

I took me some time to sit down and put all the footage together but now it's done!
I regret not recording more because there wasn't really a lot of footage to choose from, but I guess that's knowledge for the future to never turn off the camera.
