Hooray for 3D Graphics!

So... I've been keeping busy and working hard.  Here are a few more pics of things I'v been working on here at BYU.

This was one of our projects in my Intro to 3D Graphics class.  The assignment was to design and build an insect in Maya.  I did the textures for this one in Photoshop.  Doing these projects really got me into my "flow" zone, which is where I am happiest.

The Lego project from my 3D Graphics class here at BYU.  It was created in Maya and the textures were painted in Photoshop.  The class is now over, but I loved every second of it.

More pages of sketchbook...

Practicing expressions...

Hey, orangutans can have dreams of being superheroes too!

These are some figure drawings that I've done from the open drawing sessions here on campus.  It is quite a challenge and I've had my (few) ups and (many) downs, but I'm improving!

Fun action poses.

Back at the Y

So here are a couple more sketches.  I've sure been enjoying my classes here at BYU--learning about Illustrator, Photoshop, Maya, etc.  And lots of drawing on top of that!  I've been doing lots of studies of other artist's work and it has helped immensely.

When my friend told his mother that he wanted to be a fireman she said, "Don't.  All firemen are full of themselves and think they are God's gift to women..." Haha!

A Slew of Summer Sketches

So this summer, I tried to fill most of my free time with drawing in hopes that my skills improve.  I guess you can be the judge!

This is also my first post on this blog.  The purpose of this blog is to just have a go-to place where I can show my art and progress.  I'll try to be faithful in posting things and keep you up to date on my latest works and learnings.  I'm excited for this!

This copy from another artist taught me a lot about foreshortening.

In our car ride...

Rio 2016 inspired sketches

This was a comic book character a friend and I invented as a kid.  Notice how he has a box on his head, wears boxing gloves and boxers, and has a pet boxer as his side-kick.

Don't know what inspired this... maybe just the fact that i like balloons and pterodactyls a lot?
