Triple Time with Triple WIPS Challenge



Double Time  Triple Time with Triple WIPS

Hello Guys! :)

 Just here to place some few other WIPS I am also working on side by side with The Alhambra.
So to sum it all up and to catch on it: 

I am currently doing:

1) The Alhambra Challenge- Now I am working on the Final look
2) The Moroccan Pan A to B bg interior Challenge- In the process of thumbnail-ing and will soon choose which one to work on as the design. Then go straight into rough sketch.
3) The Night Life in the streets of Japan Challenge- Doing the Rough Sketch.

REASONS for doing this Triple Time with Triple WIPS Challenge:

-To keep on practicing perspective, layout-ing using references I take interest on. 

-To find and discover mistakes, problems I might encounter and to work on as soon as this early in my life than having them on the job which will cause dilemma in my work, and the production. (Though I am not saying I will be perfect by then. :P I know I'll encounter mistakes and problems but at least lessen them.) 

-To create an illustration with proper BG, which is the technical aspect of perspective.

-To keep on practicing and to keep getting used to loads of workload. Especially my goal is to get into the Animation Industry which demands a lot of work. So, to be prepared, to be ready, to not get too comfortable and to not let my guards down if workload lessens.    

Wish me luck guys! Got lots to do! Got loads to improve on! Got tons to learn! :)

WIP: The Alhambra challenge



Current WIP 

thumbnail > rough sketch > final 

then got to practice color comp with it...hopefully I get there coz most of the time I stop at the final look. This will be my challenge! :)

BTW, this was inspired by The Alhambra where its location is in Granada, Andalusia, Spain. It is not mine and all credits to that lovely architecture! :) Made just a little tweak here and there. Just fell in love with Islamic Architecture! :)

What' I've Been up to pt.2


Here are the only things I've colored and used photoshop with since the last I did some color/composition studies and shared them here. 

The first and last are incomplete and the middle one was inspired by a scene in "Pitch Perfect" and did a quick thumbnail practice. The first is actually a thumbnail from a concept I thought of...and I am still quite figuring out how it will turn out. 

Hopefully in the future I can finish the incomplete ones and make new artworks and share them here! :) Bare with me a little! :P hehe Still gots a lot to improve on! :)

My progress is just like how a baby tries to learn how to walk. No matter small and shake-ie it is still progress and improvement! :) 

What I've been up to pt.1



Hello! :) 

It's been awhile since I've uploaded anything and for that I do apologize! :( I've been busy with a few things that's why I couldn't upload any illustration or artwork.

***Though I made a small little thumbnail practicing colors. I shall upload in a while or one day. :P 
However few of those things I've been doing lately are the things I am now sharing! :)

Been practicing perspective, layout, composition and here are some of the results. 

The first ones are from the thumbnails > to roughs > to the final one. I've been fascinated by Victorian Houses and I wanted to try making one! :P hehe

Then I tried to make another exercise other than a victorian houses and I researched some Moroccan or anything SouthEastern Asian Country's Palaces! I fell in love with its intricate interior details and its structure! They are just so beautiful. I'll try to make some more of those! :)

Then there is the japanese temples and the city night life where you see the shining bright lights of the shops! I just wanted to try those kinds of composition and hopefully make an illustration out of these thumbnails! >.< So excited! 

I do still struggle few things in perspective, the outline-ing the roughs for the final look and once putting color to the composition. >.< That I need to practice to get better! But, my mentor did say I've been improving. :) And that's good enough for me. This takes time and patience. I just need to keep working hard and persevere. 

Baby Steps! Baby Steps! Baby Steps!

Studies/thumbnail-ing 070213



Hello! :) Such a long time hasn't it? hehe

Sorry for the long upload, been busy...I didn't even get to finish my previews WIPs because of all the things I need fixing but realized I still need to practice and keep going! :P

So, one of the few things I am busy about are some BG/perspective learning and some layout animation exercises and practices. :) Got to say loving every bit of it! It's bit tricky and difficult but love learning from it! :D It's a challenge I like to get on with! :D 

And now I kind of have a gist of perspective...I want to apply it on my own idea/concepts but having a hard time translating it from idea > perspective-ing it > to translating it to color or even black and white. And so here I am practicing that again. :P hehe

***P.S.- i also really need to practicing photoshop and the power of the brushes in it! :P hehe***

So here are my thumbnail-ing practices. It took a bit long than the usual fast pace coz its only thumbnailing. Got to practice not to be too detailed and to finish it in a short amount of time. :)

I got some references for the mood and color in the internet but concept/layout/composition is mine :P Will not be doing the illustration yet. Got to practice more and pretty much do more studies! :P hehe 
But I promise will upload if the illustration is done! ;)

So its still progress, right? hehe

Hope to upload more! :D
