moar studies

I have passed the halfway point in both color and b&w. However, I still feel like I'm behind. Oh well, I tried hard.

I added the reference for this batch's colored ones. The reference I use are often from books or no right click websites, it's why I haven't been adding them often.

Color Masterstudies

And here are today's color. I'll have to powerfarm tomorrow in order to approach the 50 mark.

B&W Masterstudies

I'm trying to do these faster, or I'll never be able to complete the assignment.

Noah's Art Camp

So I have signed up for a 12 week class with Noah Bradley. It was relatively cheap compared to other art classes offered online, and I admire his work, so why not? Here is a link if you're interested:

It's really intensive, and I'm going to have a hard time keeping up with my job, but I'll give it my best!
In the meantime, here is my assignment from the past two days:

 The assignment for the first week is to do many masterstudies. The goal is 50 3-4 value composition studies, 50 color studies and 3 fully rendered masterstudies.
I'm hopping to learn a lot from these.

Ganesha Concept Final

Done! For now...
This took longer than expected. Mainly rendering all the details in the jewelry...
I like it for now, though I might change my mind tomorrow. I will probably find some things that need modification too.
I could probably post more steps of the process if anyone is interested. Otherwise I'll probably move on to another project.

ganesha concepts

My previous sketch got very fleshed out but never finished... I'll either finish it more before posting it, or just show its current state and leave it alone. In the meantime, I've moved on and have been working on a fighter Ganesha concept. Here is my current progress:

I will be fleshing out number 2 and I hope to finish it this week. If it doesn't happen, I definitely have other sketches to share before Monday comes around.
