Photoshop Painting

This was for the final in my Concepts of Computer Graphics class. Was a fun experiment, and I think I might continue doing some photoshop painting.

This was originally done in CS4, so when I decided I wanted to post it here, I had to open it in CS1... Didn't work. Lost all of my shading layers... Upsetting. I will have to update this on Thursday.

Also, this was just a midterm project. Nothing too serious... yet.

Progress throughout new schooling is going fairly well. This is all on my own time at the open life drawing sessions, and I feel I'm coming along with my skills quite nicely. These aren't perfect, and I was more playing with new medium rather than focusing on proportion and all of that, so they have issues. However, I think I found my medium, as expensive as it is, so now I work on structure and all of that refinement.

So much work to be done!

Life drawing

Again for the portfolio, but a lot for my own practice. It's been way too long. I need to do more. A lot more.

Free hand perspective.. not so good.

More stuff for the portfolio. I'm really out of practice.

A refresher in why we practice

I need to submit a portfolio to get back into school. This is what came of it. So awful.

More drawings from work.

This was actually the second drawing of this. The first one was on my desk at work. It was much better, and it had a little speech bubble saying "FLESH!" which made it cooler. I'm not sure if it was because I was thinking about zombies or what, but I liked it.

Drawings at work

First off, I don't know why I put this guy in a kilt, but it was fun. And I was bored. I guess that's what happens. This is what I'm doing while I'm walking you through how to fix your blackberry. Fun stuff, huh?

found something

I don't have any recollection of doing this. Ever. But I found it. Threw up some planes, rendered and decided it needs to go up here for some reason.

FISHY!

I had a freak out for a second. Couldn't find my 3ds max program. Couldn't open up any of my 3d files. I was scared. But then I found it. And TADA! Rendered a fishy to make sure it worked.

Photoshop drawing

Boredom lead me to start drawing in photoshop and only photoshop. This is what came out. Line work bothers me for some reason. Shading is half-assed and worthless.

Life drawing?

Sort of....

Adventures in Caustic

needs a bit of work. some more noise, thin up a few things.. maybe even add a texture or two. and of course some lighting tweaks. i'll get around it later, for some reason it took an hour to render.

Round two. the "water" looks better, but some how I lost the lighting effect. odd.

A few basic textures and it seems to be coming long. It gave me an idea to fix up an old project which is awesome. But, I needs me a few more changes before I call this finished.

Getting closer to where I want it. Not exactly where I thought I'd be going this direction with it when I started, but still, I think it looks pretty awesome.

Interesting enough when you change a few things around. You can see the sphere now, but it doesn't have the blue that I want. It looks like gel now.

Looks pretty good now.. I'm happy with it. Though, I'm going to rewind a bit and take it back to
basics. But that'll be for another time.

And that's actually closer to the way its supposed to look. Now I'm glad I put the ripple in along with the wave. It's been a fun project, but waiting an hour for each render is getting a little ridiculous. Thus ends the adventures in caustics.

Edit: Dammit! My lighting is tweaked and I just now saw it. I don't want to fix it right now. I'll do it later and post it in a week or so.... damn.
