Randomness

hey guys,

here are some caricature sketches for the last assignment for Jason Seilers class. I will post everything I do for that here and I would appreciate any comment or crit. It will go over 3 weeks with sketches, composition sketches, value sketches, color roughs, etc. In the end I will hopefully have something to be really proud of. Let's see.

The 2 master studys are done for Nathan Fowkes' class on Designing concept art with light and color. The one with the many figures was really tough. We are supposed to do them in around 1h, which feels weird. I feel like I don't do them justice and it is quite stressfull. But I read that it is a good thing, to do studies, that feel uncomfortable. We are forced out of our comfort-zone and therefore learn something. I am not 100% sure on what I learned, but I am definitely out of my comfort-zone :D

Also there is a portrait I did in charcoal for a friend of my mother and a caricature for a personal fried who had birthday.

If you guys are interested: when shading a drawing I usually define my darkest darks first. They are the easiest to guess and you cant overdo them. After that I have an easier time figuring out the other values.

The last thing was a concept for a vampire I did just for fun. I found a picture of a really skinny woman and used it as a reference for the muscles and the pose.

Cheers,
Flo
