E.D.A.H - Every Day An Hour

#61

still no silhouettes but i did this today, tried to do a sort of painting (wip);http://img33.imageshack.us/img33/373/95566253.jpg

focus man, focus. silhouette is profound. if you start getting comfortable with brushes, here’s your challenge. everyday you pick a word of career/class/job, and you draw as many as possible. For instance: today’s word is witchdoctor. I want to see different age, sex, race carry out from just the silhouette. Also, I want to see witchdoctor in the past, present, future(can be sci-fi). it can take you months to cover all the major subject in games/films. Don’t move to “finishing” if you seriously want to become concept artist.

Yeah your right it would be a good idea to keep focusing. What exactly do you mean by dont move to “finishing”? You mean finishing 1 silhouette in particular?

#64

finishing contains shape, pose, shade, light, color.

Hey there everyone! I know I disappeared for a while… but now im back!

Spez I’m liking your witch doctor! Perhaps you should try creating something more smooth, less spikey in alchemy (to be different!) I get a real American Indian feel to all your work at the moment cos of all the spikes looking like feathers (-: Not that this is a bad thing! Just thought u might like to try something else.

Here’s my update, I was just working on pose and anatomy… I am gonna make him into an actual character

#66

Another hour…

#67

Hey pheonix! your right, it wouldnt hurt to try an other style, I will go for a smoother approach today.
You are doing good with anatomy, but I think you could still improve with some studies, here are 2 sites i use to study female and male anatomy:
female: www.kindgirls.com
male: www.mmaphotography.com
anyways keep it up your doing great!

#68

Thanks Spez!

I’ve bookmarked those! Yeah I think I’m much better than I used to be but I’m still not sure of all the muscles and how they change depending on movement! I can only keep studying (-:

I think the only way I’m going to improve is to keep drawing I guess :stuck_out_tongue:

I have another update… but im gonna leave it cos i may work on it more laters

#69

I am getting back to E.D.A.H so I can improve my basic skills without always attacking final illustration. The topic that I am focusing on this month is forest.
I did bunch of loose thumbnails yesterday:

And I did a colored concept based on one of them:

Hello everyone!

I’m really liking the smoother approach Spez! Your characters are looking totally different (-:

Donglu-littlefish: I love your colour concept! If only I could do better backgrounds :stuck_out_tongue:

Anyways here’s an update… I’m just playing with this!

#76

spez: Hi, nice to see you too, it is very precious from your part to put such continuous effort for EDAH, keep it up!

Logi: I really like the blocking silhouette that you have done, very nice to see the unique personnality that each of them represents with the minimum information on the canvas.

PhoenixFlame: Hi, really enjoy to see new members joining the EDAH!

@Simon: definitely have potential. Let’s see how well you can do in my program.

I no longer teach big classes. I now only train the ones that I think truely have potential. When comes to teaching I’m straight forward, tough, and harsh (ask Kevin). Yet I’m sure you’ve already seen the results from my best ones, so bare with me.

I usually ask 6 things form my students. The ones who were qualified now have jobs, and ones who were not qualified now, also have jobs, at super market or other fileds. Here are my ‘requirements’.

  1. TRUST ME.
  2. FOLLOW MY INSTRUCTION.
  3. Drop your ego.
  4. Drop your perfectionism.
  5. Drop your personal interest.
  6. Post your results on a daily basis.

The duration of the program is 2 months. I require minimum 6 hours per day to study and practice. There are total of 6 sections. Each last 10 days (9 days work and 1 day break). We Start on Oct 15th.
