So Far...

This is the second semester of my first year at University and it has been quite fun. Prior to starting Uni, I worked in ICT Support which, if you have no experience in, is the most negative end of computer. Compliments and praise are rare. Enough of that... Lets go to the beginning briefley.

Sketching Sketching Sketching!!!

Lot and lots of sketching...

Mostly cubes to start with...  -__-"


The basica idea was to get a feel for perspective drawing and accuracy. There were a few different teqniques that helped, but mostly its all pretty logical... From there it was on to constructing basic geometry inside the cubes and then actually  drawing stuff that could actually be useful in the real world.

I absoluitly used an underlay for that human figure. Drawing people isnt something I'm good at.

By the end of the first semester, this was the kind of results I was getting with my sketching. There was some encouragement to try adding some shading with markers, but nothing too fancy.


All these drawings were tasks that had to be put in a folio for the end of semester...

Just for something extra, heres some music that I listen to when I'm working

Thanks for reading... Slowly, I'll catch up with where I am at now. Ciao!
