Hats off to those digital artists...

Seriously... I'm working on my (well, not first, but the last digital artwork I did was way back in 2004 so this is just very well be my first in awhile) digital painting in Painter X and it pretty much was quite frustrating. Considering the fact that I'm not that good with colors -___- so it was even harder. Anatomy, perspective, etc. well, I'm trying hard here so hopefully I can get this done soon. I can't wait though, though frustrating, painting digitally also has its interesting and fun aspect to it.

So here's the progress so far on the painting. I hope to get this done either by today or tomorrow... We shall see :).


Argh, that looks so ugly on this monitor. I don't like widescreen monitor, it just makes everything a little off X(. The face of this girl on my screen looks perfectly fine and here it is just a tad too thin *sighs*... time to edit again...

Projects and short animated movies...

Wahh, it's good to be writing in this blog again... I've been away working on a few big projects so time is always scarce, plus the weather is getting nicer which is just perfect for some outdoor activities so I've been less inclined to write as of late. Got some pictures to share however....


This printmaking assignment took a loooong time. I wasn't sure how I wanted to render my dad's portrait, but it came out quite nicely.


Above are some spare prints I took home with me after turning in the best ones for my prof. I'm gonna give to my dad and hang one in my study room :D.


Tada, I got it on the wall at last!!!!!


And this is the process for a big drawing for my Adv. drawing class (yes, it's HUGE, around 48 x 72 in). I'm also working on another project simultaneously with this one but the other one is still in some brainstorming process so no picture up as of now.

Lately I've been looking at some short animated films and am very much enamored. Some of them are a little lack in the stories, but their beautiful artworks somehow (just somehow) allow the viewers to continue on... I've embedded with this post one that I quite like, hopefully you will like it as well. Yea, this is again a very short and not well-written blog entry, but I just got back from critique and well, am just very tired. So ja ne!!!

...portrait 0.o;;

Portrait is something I seldom do, in fact, I can't seem to get it to look like the person I try to draw from. This one is the same, he definitely doesn't look like Yunho of DBSK -_____-;; I really tried... but I guess I need to practice more and more and more... Below is the progress:



And this is the final portrait... well, yea I think it looks quite okay-rendered... but then again, what's the use of portrait if it ends up not looking like the person I was trying to do. And the hair was a pain to draw >____<.


Anyways, I'm recovering somewhat from my minor depression, but it will take awhile to come around. I'm glad though... the depression makes me realize many things. Oh well... I've gotta go study now, so this post shall be just a short one today. Ja ne!
