painting practice... from photo ref...

back to digital painting

first time digital painting in a while... taking a break from freelance product work over the past few weeks, and just working on my sketching and painting skills again...

actually it started as i tried to paint this ref and then i just added stuff over it... it turned into something completely different as u can see...

attempt at medical designs

no updates for a while since i've been busy with internship at SKD... heres some sketches i did one day on a slow week when i didnt have any projects... these are medical ventilator masks i did using a rendering style inspired by greg stoermer... they werent done for the project so they should b ok to show...

scribble scribble

venting out my solidworks frustration with this. it kinda reminds me of wen i was in kindergarden, i was coloring with crayons for the first time... and some kid called me out for scribbling. then the teacher told me to stop. and i was like, 'im not scribbling!!'

ppl still tell me to stop scribbling and stop sucking... but i guess now my response would be... 'screw you... im gonna scribble cuz i feel like it. and im gonna make u look at it too.'

painting... on my new macbook pro!

painting on my new macbook pro is definitely better than my old macbook.. bigger screen, and i can work at a much higher resolution... perfect time to level up my skills!

meat grinder

recently started a video game project... scifi first person shooter called meat grinder. its just started up in early concept phase. this is some of the stuff ive done so far...

anybody wanna help out, email me! we r especially in need of character designers and level designers...

form/style study, 3/5/10

created a form by putting down random lines... rendered it out a bit... trying to get less of a painterly style and more of a rendering style out of this brush.... same brush i used in the previous post....

my goal.. have better understanding of form, be better at style.. trans majors seem to have those things down.. time to step it up...

robot, 2/28/10

just spent the evening with a sketching group.. 'Studio L'... earlier they told me to work the color some more... this was the result after i got home and added a couple quick filters... i should also add some more detail but o well... next time... gotta keep practicing....



my "setup" ;)

back in action!

abstract form studies... goin back to hand sketches... feels really weird and fun at the same time... i like this technique... brush pen/ballpoint. lately ive been interested in zaha hadid's parametricist forms.... fun fun fun....

new coroflot portfolio!

i just uploaded some of my work up on coroflot these past couple days. its already been getting some pretty good feedback so far! its about time i put myself out there... ahh i just keep wishing i had more polished work to show off...

i really feel like im part of the new generation of designers now... especially seeing how much my sketch techniques differ from the old school designers... i learned those old school techniques from teachers, too... just that its different now that we're on the same playing field.

as part of the new generation i guess its my responsibility to push for new and better ways to design... wish me luck... and hope i dont starve to death cuz of my idealistic nature~
