It’s school holidays and I want to get my sleeping back on track so I’ve been hanging out in the youth center in the Library here in Levin. Using my cellphone as reference I drew several portraits from RedditGetsDrawn. I’ve also found my tablet pen so need to get back into digital painting. It’s nice to put pencil to paper though. Today I’m planning on heading down to the local art center here in Levin. I need to hangout more with like minded individials - people that will answer more than ‘yes’ and ‘thats great’ when I discuss artwork with them.

There was the chance of me going to Wellington today, but I think I’d rather head to the art center.

Here’s the results:

Hi. I’ve been busy with unity3d but get in a pencil drawing now and then. I think I’ve lost my pen for my tablet. Its likely somewhere in my room. Looking on mightyape I see they have baboon tablets for 100 dollars - might be worth picking one up. Anyway. Here’s a pencil drawing I did recently:

The reference for this was a portrait photo on redditgetsdrawn.

Here tone has been added. No color sorry

MolyJam2013 is happening right now. It lasts 48 hours. I finely got GIT working with my unity project - Triget.

Here’s some concept art:

Cant find my tablet pen. Might just color with phone.

I had a request today to upload some art. I have a new sketchbook that I have started to fill. Always buying new sketchbooks. So many half finished. Here’s a pencil sketch from Cuba Street, Wellington. H pencil.

I had drawn this scene before. I remember because of the hook icon on the building.

Cuba Street is one of my favorite spots to draw in Wellington. I’m able to sit, focus and produce some great drawings.

These last few months my drawing has been minimal. Around Levin I don’t draw like I use to. Whenever I visit Wellington - my drawing sparks.

I still feel sick and cold though.

Here’s a painting I did in the library:

Nothing much, just a few figures in an environment. This was done on the library computers. I think I’ve lost my tablet pen. Oh well, I’m looking at buying a new one soon. Something larger like my old one

Heres an update of some pencil concept art drawings I did. On Thursday I decided to go to palmerson north. I normally dont get out often so its great for me to get away. Sadly my sleeping patterns have been crazy weird (staying awake 40 plus hours - sleeping during the. I’m somewhat happy at the moment which is the main thing. Anyway. Eniugh of the ranting about my life and lets get into some artwork.

There is a game jam happening this week known as the mid summer jam. The theme is growth with an extra theme being secrets. Majority of game jams use words for their prompts - id like to see a visual game jam where they gave you an image (or several) and get your insprition through that.

Id always wanted to create my own game jam - maybe I should create a concept art jam where the prompts are paintings/art assets. I know a few artists so could be cool if we each submit a piece for the start of the jam. Might write and sketchdown a few ideas…

This was drawn from my imagination and characters referenced from a character Catherine had created. I used this character in my recent Unity project si decided to sketch down further ideas. I’m going to ask catherine if she’s interested in producing digital paintings of this by painting over… maybe using the same colors as the other works to keep the harmoney and flow with characters.

I need to produce some 3d works from her paintings. The computers are setup great for modeling. Might aim for something tomorrow. I don’t like to sleep but I have a feeling after this Rugby game I’m going to be very tired

Another drawing produced well eating lunch. I believe a had a burger because burgers are delicious.

The background enviorment is crea

Drawing on cup with bic bio pen. Used the phone camera - decided to leave my camera at home as it was leaving. This camera built into the phone is damn good

Character. Simple cartoonish - no reference.

Background. Typical sky/hills/moon. No stars in this one.

I’ve been doing lots in unity - focusing on mobile but easy to deploy to web/other platforms.

This is my friend Janelle. She uploaded a nice picture with a sweet haircut that I had to paint. Normally I paint strangers on r/redditgetsdrawn but I haven’t even been getting ‘thanks’ for my work on there so would rather paint people I know in real life as they may appreciate it. Reddit is horrible.

I took awhile on this - checked the video recording at 1000mb and got distracted by the time. Once I had finished the painting the file size was sitting on 2.8gig - corrupted. This is the first time in months that I’ve had the file size go over 2gig, I guess I was really enjoying the painting.

As always, focus was more on the background than the figure. I used two different reference images for the figure - the first for the portrait and 2nd for the figure. Background was completely imagination.
