Working towards AWESOMEness

[Elisabet Y.A.]

OK.

In a surge of bravery I decided to stop lurking and start posting. Well you know. My work. Instead of mindless blabber in other subforums while hiding in cowardice from this one.

So where to start...

I currently go to The Animation Workshop in Denmark on the CG line. We study Maya and 3D awesomeness along with concept work and design. And there's life drawing after school in the evening. So this sketchbook of mine will be a little bit of everything.

But less talk, I should show pix or GTFO.

Most of this is random Sketchbook stuff from my imagination. Will post more life drawings when I'm not afraid of them.

Random sketchstuff:








This one is from a reference image I found on Deviantart.


More random sketchbook stuff:




From life drawing, very quick sketches. Probably around 1 minute each. My linework is pretty awful, all scribbly. I have a hard time keeping up with the model, I'm slooooooowwwwwww... Made with a pen, as I can't discipline myself to keep away from the eraser when using pencil.




This one is actually an environment painting I made for my portfolio to get into The Animation Workshop:


YEAH. My bravery juices are ebbing away now, so I'm pressing submit. I'd love any tips, critiques and helpful advice! I'm ready! Bring it!

Here's a quick speedy I made from a photo. It was a photo of an icecave that was obviously edited, but I loved the extreme blueness of it.

Keep up the life drawing you'll get there, good start.

[Elisabet Y.A.]

Thanks Mike! Will do more life drawing and studies, hard to do anything in my free time as I have almost none xP School school school!

Here's a collection of sketches and silhouettes I made for an ongoing character design project.

Linework for character design project. Will be making a turnaround, as this will be modelled in 3D.

So finally you got yourself a SB! Looks good so far, just be sure to update it regularly

[Elisabet Y.A.]

Hey Asa! Thanks for looking in Yeah I'll be updating soon, I've been so busy with school I haven't had time for anything else!

[AsaB]

No prob! It's fun seeing your sketches and WIPS and stuff as well, not only finished stuff. I sometimes prefer that, even!

Heh, busy with school is the best kind of busy--that is, if you're studying what you love. Good luck with that, and I hope we'll see new updates soon

I just posted in your discussion thread on whether or not you know when your art is "finished": this led me here. It looks like you are working towards that goal, and I am sure that it will "click" for you-you are well on the way. As far as courage, I'm glad you started your SB, but you don't need to worry. You are an artist: you belong here.

Now Keep at it!

Good update, love creature!
