Digital Painting :S

Hoho... up since six, which is a MIRACLE because I love my bed....
Second year has been, well rather busy... More busy then I would like :S I really want to improve on my own pace, which is really hard to do with all the homework. I should really update this blog more often, but I get really chicken out looking at other people's amazing blog.. T^T

Now I think I need to loosen up a lot more and just have fun with this. I had fun doing this, playing with textures for the first time and such, even though it's kinda fugly now that I'm looking at it. =/ Sigh.. I need to learn how to just do it and not care so much about the outcome, and focus on observing and learning it.

Until next time, hopefully soon.......

Painting~

First painting assignment =)
Had fun doing this, could still fix some contrast issues here and there. I think I like acrylic better than gouache, although still needs a LOT of work =/

Traditional Painting

UPLOAD T^T I really should post here more often.... Oh well.
Here is some of the traditional painting that I have worked on in the summer:

 Gauche painting of a little girl that I thought was pretty cute. Kind of weird looking here because I took it from an angle =/

 Gauche painting of my favorite flower, red spider lily.

 Marily Monroe, although it looks nothing like her =/  Acrylic

 Phantom of the Opera! =P Also acrylic 

 Gauche still-life

Life drawing painting of a nude model, 5 hr-ish. Acrylic. 

Hope everyone enjoyed their summer =). I will try my best to finish my other works, and maybe post more often @.@

I was in love with Hulk the moment I saw him transform <3..... Body according to photo, background made up with reference. Worked on it for an hr~2hrs everyday for around a week... so 6 hrish.....

 Geez.. My portrait never looks like who it suppose to me... Self-portrait, done in an hr and half.

Hello Summer!

So.. School is over!
I can't believe how bored I am now, there is so much I want to do but I am still bored.

So here is digital study of lips I did, the last two are actually famous people. See if you can guess who =)

Happy summer~

Upload =)

Arrgh!  Promised to upload weekly, but does not seem to find enough time or work to upload. So much homework to do, and I am behind still =(. I do not even have to time to digital paint, can not wait until animation is done Q.Q.... Here is just some homework I did for the past 2 weeks.
Layout:
The assignment is to explore different texture:

 This one is Artist interpretation. I used glass, fur and rusting iron... I don't think I got any right =/.

 Nature. Self explainable.... I hope =S

 This one is werid. So I choose to use food =). I got pizza, Swiss cheese, lime and cake.

Painting:
         We have to paint a fantasy/science fiction scene contrasting between night and day. I had the most fun yet difficult time doing it. It's the first time I ever had a clean image of what I want to look EXACTLY in my head, but I just had so much trouble actually doing it. In the end, I just did the best I could without running out of time. The idea is a city made of food in a glass ball. It's a contrast between salty food (burger, fries) and sweet food (cake, ice-cream). Wow, sounds so much cooler in my head -.-

Digital Paintings

Here is my digital painting so far =).
Been a bit upset for the past few days, maybe I shouldn't hold so much expectations because it always end up lead to disappointment =(

 This is for character design assignment from last semester. We were suppose to imitate an artist's style and I picked Benjamin because of the colours he was able to use in his digital paintings. I try to paint myself, with an nose job =P.

A speed paint I did of Tangled lantern scene during winter break

 Hankyung, which looks really bad now =/ Need to know how to paint skin...

Kim Jaejoon of JYJ (DBSK), I did it because it was his birthday.

Me, with my classic (wtf?) face and a new haircut.

I am bit obsessed with Gerard Butler and The Phantom of the Opera lately, so I tried to paint him... Of course, it looks NOTHING like him = =

                                                 

Something random I did in Digital Tools =/

I actually started this LOOONGGG time ago, and decided it's not going anywhere so I should stop fixing it

 =P just a speed painting, around an hr? 

I am growing to be interested in Chinese Opera, not the music part, just the make-up and clothes =) So I decided to paint myself with the "face".. The pattern in the background belong to a random internet search.

Since the beginning of the school, I had being trying to finish a quick digital painting ( or at least start SOMETHING). I still need to get better at EVERYTHING =( and sometimes I feel my patience is wearing thin....

P.S I think I shall officially make Monday my update date =)

homework dump 2

I think I rediscover my passion for art, especially for painting! =) Which is good because I been questioning what I am doing to myself.
Here is what I have so far, some of them are from last semester =/
Layout:
Last semester's portfolio : I have more pieces... just don't remember where I put them now =/

             The big and small assignment:
             I did mine on a robot attempt to help a girl get off a ruined building. It used to be a cliff but i changed my mind at the last min... T-T I don't really like it.....Except the robot =)  

  Painting:
        Still life: I definitely could used a bit more time on it...I need to learn how to paint less watery... =/

Master Copy: Finished it last night around 3 Q-Q...... I HATE TILES...... Can't get the colours right =/ Can't post the black and white one because it looks soo bad.... It's from Aladdin =)...
