An introduction, weeks 1 and 2

Hi guys and Gals, this is my blog for illus 241. I decided to make one after a few weeks, so I had a backlog of things to show. I will be updating this blog regularly for the rest of the project. I chose the theme of digital after working with the Ipads in class. My first attempts during the first week/ first class (see below) were not too great, but I started to learn the basics, such as brush size and opacity. My next post will show the work I did after this class, as I have my own Ipad, I am able to keep on experimenting and learning. It is worthy of note though, I will be using Photoshop as well, But an Ipad is simpler to carry around and do drawing out, hard-drives tend to be very heavy...

Week 1
As you can see when I said basic, they really are. Both are sketches of my classmate Emmy. I feel as if the greyscale came out much better, and looks less like terminator. From this I decided to play around with greyscale more in the future.

week 2

The next week in life drawing class I created this image in 45 minutes. I really enjoyed working like this and started to find my still evolving digital style. My favourite element is the shading on this one. Here I kept painting over with multiple low opacity pen marks for shading. Before adding colour I keep switching between black and white, to correct and shade different areas. Lastly I add colours over the drawing on a new layer with a thin layer of colour.

All of these were done in the Ipad app Brushes

Thanks for visiting, next up my first refined drawing in the next post.
