Open licenced artwork by William Mckee

dec16-portraits

The first update in months. I have not attended life drawing since September. In November my Raspberry Pi 7 inch TFT broke along with losing the pen. I have recently replaced the pen but not the TFT. Instead I am using the old 3.5 inch broken screen. It’s not as easy to use as the larger offical screen - but better than nothing. I have also been using the Pi connected to a normal monitor - though this is not portable.

Here are several pieces of artwork that I have created since I got a new pen.

baskethead

This was drawn when I was working on the NBA api. I wrote a script that downloaded gifs for each NBA team. If I was to go back and extend it further I would merge gifs with player names.

eow-vendor

ConceptArt Environment of the Week. Interior or exterior of a market vendor selling weapons in the middle ages. I didn’t end up drawing anything but it’s a good warmup.

house-alien

Landscape and shapes, portrait and house on a hill. Alien like create standing on a rock in the water.

keabet-line

Friends children portrait. Photo was taken in the middle of December. Like usual I made them look much older than they really are.

keabet-grayscale

Grayscale tonal layer. Issues with their ears and who goes in fron of who. In the end - made the boy in front with the girl slightly behind. Light backgground with no detail.

keabet-color

Colour tonal layer. Yellow for the skin, red for the hair and mouth. Red was used for the darker areas of the nose but it should be a darker yellow. Blue for the background. Green for the boys tshirt, and pink for the girls.

landscape-warmup

Landscape. Creature to the left. Waves leading into the foreground.

landscape-warmup-grayscale

Grayscale tonal. Light for the sky in the distance. Mid dark for everything else.

mic-cave

Girl holding a mic. Usual background

mic-cave-grayscale

Grayscale tonal. Standing on a darker area.

monster-cave

Line layer overtop of the mic girl grayscale tonal layer. Replaced the girl with a spike creature.

wellyfigure-line

Reference was a old wellington painting - one of my favorites. Replaced the figure with a new figure.

wellyfigure-grayscale

Grayscale tonal layer of the Wellington figure.
