Week 1 Challenge: The Story

I'm starting this back up again but instead of doing art daily, which I've decided against. I've tried to get back into having a love and passion for art. So, I have started to chronicle each week with a different challenge. I would like to work on different aspects of learning digital art since I am still very new at it.

I had thought to begin with learning how to ink my sketches but before that, I'm starting with a story that I've been tasked to illustrate. This one will be particularly intensive and gruelling so if I can pull it off it will set the stage for being consistent with my work.

My job is to create all the illustrations for a children's book. After which I will be learning to color them in photoshop, once I decide on an appropriate style - I'm thinking pastels? So follow along as I take on this exciting new project that no doubt will be a great asset to my portfolio!

Stay tuned...

Okay, so today was a lazy day. I finished the Tron collage I started yesterday. Not exactly art but it was good to practice my other photoshop skills. I wanted a wallpaper with both Quorra and Gem, which I was able to find on the internet. I also wanted a cityscape from Tron. What I could not find was both. The ideal wallpaper for me is one with a cityscape and death and also features attractive women, so that was the genesis behind this particular piece. Voila!!

I used a tron city scape, laid a few recognizers on top and a light cycle, plus the Siren Gem and the naive yet super cute, Quorra.

Day 9 - Quorra

Still wanting to create some Tron fan art, I started this sketch of Quorra from Tron Legacy, based on this picture


Just a sketch so far but I will continue to work on it and hopefully get it colored.

TRON Legacy

So I recently saw Tron legacy and it was AWESOME!!! Needless to say I'm on a major Tron kick. I've bewen frequenting the Tron Sector again lately and I stumbled across this link, disc from the original Tron. So I was inspired to try and create my own, from the new movie.

Here it is.... tell me what you think!
The background is from the movie teaser trailer, I used it in the composition as a backdrop for the disc. I also made this icon...

Day 7

It's officially been a week since I started this, which is weird. It doesn't feel that long. Anyway I did some more figure drawing practice on the tablet, I think tomorrow I will do something else though, like work on an existing project.

Day 6

I forgot to post yesterdays drawing...I was in
somewhat of a block plus I am still pretty awkward
with the tablet so this is all I came up with.

Day 4 & 5

This was supposed to be a character for a Graphic Novel that Micah and I are writing, but it kind of turned into it's own thing.- Messina. Her outfit is basically weird pairings of clothes, like a jacket over a modified victorian style dress. This kind of led me and Aije and Cherith into looking at 18th century clothing, which is strange because just the day before I was thinking about this period. We all decided to draw women from that time period and so I made this young french lady of the court. Her name is Caprice, I'm quite pleased with her she came out far better than I had hoped.
