June

Hey there! Good news! School's out in about a week, and I can't wait to sleep all day long. Gosh, I tell you, waking up every morning is getting harder and harder as the time passes. But eh, can't do much about it.

However, this Summer I decided to go for some life drawing sessions for my first time...Idk how I should approach this, but for now I intend on going at least once a week. Anyway, that might help, might not...still gonna give it a try.

Since the school's goin' fishing, I have more time to practice my painting skills. As far as I noticed, my line-art is better than my painting...That's maybe 'cus I started using pen and paper more. I'm glad I finally noticed some kind of evolution, comparing my new paintings with the old ones. I'd say I did quite a great job. However, here are some...things...that I managed to pull out during finals and shit.

Enjoy :) And have a great day!

Stuff

Yet again, back from a long holiday...kind of. However, during this free time, I decided to get my hands on a book. It is called "Echo Park" written by Michael Connelly. The author is well known for his police novels, so I gave it a try. I gotta admit, this is the first book I actually enjoyed reading, and I highly recommend it if you like this stuff.

And yah...I got some drawings up in this time, couldn't find the spirit to up them tho'... so here they are:







~ 6 weeks until the summer holiday, can't wait for it! More stuff to come later.

Thank you guys for checking in my blog, it is helpful in a way to see that some people visit it. :)

Car Sketch #1

Hello there!

I feel kinda awkward for having to say something everytime I post something, so expect some posts to be just drawings.

However, today I gave a shot at drawing (well, more like sketching but w/e) a car...Here's it, and have a nice day!
It is not in perfect perspective, I know.. I just wanted to give it a more fancy look, even if it turned out to be ugly...hey, one of the first...don't kill meh.

Back

Aiight, 

I don't know how many people passed trough here, nor do I care. For the few that may have probably passed trough, I am back with more stuff. I have practiced a lot lately, and I feel that I have improved my artistic skills. Yeppe!

This huge break was really helpful. Btw, as I said, yep..I did try some different activities...but I enjoyed none. Or at least, not as much as drawing. I guess this is something..huh?

So yeah...ME HERE..heh

Oh btw, I just wanted to point out a VERY nice radio station, which I really enjoy lately. The radio is called Alternate USA. They basically play the best music ever, from classic rock to modern alternative rock. Give it a try, there's nothing you can lose.

Here's the link for that:  http://alternateusa.com/html/player.html 

Hmm..let's see..what else...

Oh yeah, my birthday was 2 days ago...drank like a thirsty animal...but that's not the point.

Oke, sorry for the long news, here's some of the paintings/drawings I did:











I know, they are not the greatest paintings ever, but....slowly...I start to get more into it...and I love it. You gotta enjoy the process of learning, that's all... (really like the last one btw :3 )

Aiight, "that's all folks"!

Delay

Hello there again.

So, the first thing I want to say is that my W4 will be delayed a few days (prolly' gotta post it on sunday) for several reasons:
1. I "visited" the dentist today and now my teeth hurt as hell...and I can't feel my upper jaw.
2. Had to take care of things for school.
3. Will be drunk on Friday/Saturday.
4. Because f*ck you, that's why! (nah, jking)

However, I felt like watching one of Feng Zhu's DVD's about perspective (2h of technical stuff)..so yeah..I did something productive aswell.
Our W4's subject will focus on environments (since I watched that DVD, I thought I should give 'em environments a try). Unfortunately, this being a busy week, the designs will be like..thumbnails (quality and dimension), giving me the chance to upload more.

So that was it for today, I hope you enjoy the rest of the week!
See ya on Sunday.

W3 - Alien Birds

Aiight' folks, I figured out this week's topic. Alien birds.
I plan into uploading more designs for this week (a little color here and there).
I really hope this blog will keep me motivated enough to keep 'em drawings coming. Have a wonderful week!

W2 - Dinosaur Mech

Hello there!

Ok, so..I know that W1 wasn't such a great success, since the designs were just some poor quality silhouettes. This week however, I tought I might get something that includes linework and a bit of shades and environment.

Unfortunately, I only ended up with 1 design because of the damn school schedule. Anyhow, this is the biped-dino-mech thingy, hope you like it :).

W1 - Two Legged Mech

Week 1 - Two Legged Mech.



The Beginning

Hello there!

I made this blog for myself, to somehow track my progress through becoming a better designer and create a portofolio.
I will have a new topic every week, with at least 2 or 3 designs a week, to get me out of my confort zone.
Feel free to suggest me some topics in the comment section, I will surely take a look over them.

Best Regards, Tudor.
