Playing with Digital Style

Playing around with style recently. It's been fun stuff. :)

Virtual Plein Air

These are some virtual plein air paintings I did in the last 2 weeks or so. I did them in between projects, when I needed a break from what I was doing. For those who don't know, Virtual Plein Air is a facebook group page where artists can post plein air paintings they did of views on google maps. It's really fun because it feels sort of like you're traveling.. even if you never leave the couch.. haha but there are some amazing artists, both professional, and nonprofessional posting there. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you check it out! https://www.facebook.com/groups/290155717818479/

The page also shares the link of "where" they painted, so I'll do the same :)

My first one is beautiful Austria. https://www.google.com/maps/place/Austria/@47.564712,13.650255,3a,75y,90t/data=!3m5!1e2!3m3!1s33328650!2e1!3e10!4m2!3m1!1s0x476d079b259d2a7f:0x1012d47bdde4c1af!6m1!1e1  

Then some boats in Greece

And then I "went" to Italy

And for kicks I added the process of one of them, Thanks for looking! (click on it if its not working)

First Animations

These are my first animations ever... letting that sink in. haha They were all done in Traditional Animation 1 here at Ringling last semester. Had some time to upload them know that I'm on Summer Break :) They are done in the order of the semester














Well, that's all! Now time to do TA2 and start 3d animation. Super excited for next year!

Quadruped Walk Cycle Process

So, I figured out how to animate in Photoshop, and since I'm at home and don't have access to Ringling's Animation desks, I thought it would be a good way to occupy myself until my job starts up, and keep learning over the summer. Sooo, I did a quadruped walk of a simple weird creature thing I designed for 3d class, but didn't end up using. I aslo thought I would show you all the process. Not to bad for a first quadruped walk cycle...
 

So I have been on break for a couple of weeks now! I'm taking the wonderful extra time to do some personal work including painting, animating in photoshop, and sketching everywhere I go. I have been painting a lot digitally and I'm really having a lot of fun with it. I'm also fixing to upload my animations from last semester this week. Here's a self-portrait I worked on the last couple of days.

Sketchbook Spring Semester

These are some pages from my sketchbook of Spring Semester freshmen year. I draw a lot on the go with my friends- we like to go to the coffee loft, tea house, Starbucks, anywhere downtown sarasota, or Bay front park.. or in class. It's our way of recording life around us :) This was really fun to make, I think I'm going to always upload my sketchbooks this way in the future

Good ol' Caesar Bust assignment. I had anger as the emotion I had to apply onto his face.

Art can be stressful sometimes

I've had lots of work recently since finals are all happening now. But I took an hour to update on some art from this semester. Art is stressful, but so far things are going well :)
