I've been playing around with google sketchup. I should have done this before any of my illustrations. It would have helped me greatly and saved time, well I learned my lesson.
This is where the four mystical beings control the ship. A star map appears in the middle as a hologram over the water.
EDIT: Just got an idea about figures dancing, like in 300 with the prophet, to control the hologram and the ship. They appear out of the columns, basically ship AI.
The ship is actually more like a boat, the image shows it when it has landed on water and thats why the horizon appears as if you were ground level. Later, i'll update on development of the ship concept.
I think I'm getting faster at observing values, and painting. First image is 1min gesture drawings to loosen up, then longer 20 min drawings, last one is 40 min. I realize I left out the face in all of them, thats weird...
Learning how to get used to blending. It's funny because I'm doing an oil painting at the same time while I was working on this so I'm gaining painting experience double time. It's my dad on his iPod touch, he's always on it every night.
This is a simple self-portrait assignment for my Drawing from Tablet class. We're starting out with only using circle solid brushes with pressure sensitivity.
