Activity #1 2D - JohnN

  • general image update

    I don't seem to keep my journal very up-to-date with what I am producing. So it's high time to do a bit of an update... and here it is!

    some sketchbook environments in pen, a second GTA style illustration just to prove the first wasn't a…

  • GTA Art

    This piece has been created to display (and practice) alternate styles / techniques.. In the style of Rockstars game - Grand Theft Auto. Created using Photoshop and Freehand.

  • character portrait

    whilst waiting for the next quick 2d activity I though I would 'doodle' a face in a few spare hours. Things got a little out of hand and a more or less finished painting have been the result.

    Created in Painter with a little Photohshop and…

  • character painting - revisited

    Seems a while since I've posted any 2d work! This little painting is a revisited character concept that I originally did as a model sheet excercise (it's was posted here some time back).

    Created in Photoshop :)

  • aircraft concept

    A revisited personal project. The original project was a set of different air/space craft finished to a pen and marker stage.

    This piece was created entirely in photoshop.

  • ocncepts for Sumea Mod project

    finally managed to get some thing done to post to the mod concept art thread!

  • Model Sheet

    Refining the processes of creating a character concept and model sheet. all tone and colour added in Photoshop. Initial drawing were pencil on paper.

  • character/avatar painting

    I have finally invested in a tablet :) and this as the first more-or-less finished painting. Created with 'Corel Painter Essentials' and some minor photoshop work too.

  • SpaceRacer - Concept Art

    Finally recharged the markers and got around to doing some sketching again! These images are sketched by hand and coloured in P'shop.

  • quick activityAvatar/portrait

    Well... this is my final painting for the current 'quick activity'. Painted in Photoshop. see thread for more details on process etc.

Here is my first post (hope it works!)
I started with redrawing the figure, then played 'Dress-ups' with it. Total time for these added up to 3ish hours in front of telly.

...2 more hours and I got some colour added.

These are good, I like the idea of the first one (the semi samurai lady). Only crit is maybe some more detial in them as well as some more colour, but that just maybe a style thing.
Good to see another one finish this activity.

I felt that being a quick activity that I would keep the sketches fairly basic and try to create a 'visual synopsis' of each character rather than fuss with details.

If I were to do the activity over again I think that I might have done several variations on one theme rather than spread my thinking/drawing time across 3 different ones. I think this would have resulted in a more detailed finishing point, which inturn might have lent it's self to a more sophisticated application of colour (I don't mind the simple, bold colour. It has done its job of describing materials and form.)
