All right, here are my hand drawings from most of a week. Some of them are finished, some are roughs, and some are something else. Enjoy! Two rough drawings, some thumbnails for a client, an abstract, and two more finished pieces with their sketched-out preliminaries.

Adding details

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | Drawings, Jimsan | 2 Comments

Two hours worth of details. I feel I didn’t get a whole lot done in that amount of time.

Hours: 24.75/1000

Aftermath

Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 | Drawings, Jimsan | 2 Comments

I had originally planned out this three-paneled landscape in PS, but, the .psd somehow went missing. I had to redo it today from scratch. This WiP is, perhaps, the scene of a large city several years after WWIII takes place.

Horse #4 (Woohoo!)

The last of the set. Soon I’ll put together a tableau of all four. I may touchup the earlier ones, especially #1. I’m really happy with this one, though, despite having a different light source and shadow.

Horse #3

Getting close to finished with this project now. I think I may wrap up the last horse tonight and perhaps make a tableau with all four. I’ve changed style since the first horse though, so I may need to retool that one a bit. 

Acid bath

This is how my head feels tonight. Fever + nausea x  zombie = tonight’s sketch.

Horse #2

Sunday, November 9th, 2008 | Drawings, Felix | No Comments

So last week I posted this horse, which I said was the first in a series. Today’s horse is the next in that same series, and the last two should follow some time during the week. The next one may even be finished tomorrow. Stay posted!

(I have some tidbits from Friday and Saturday I’ll get around to posting soon, as well. Life has just been hectic).

Thursday, Unfinisheds, Scribbles

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 | Drawings, Felix | No Comments

Mixed bag here. The first three are Thursday’s harvest. The next three are semi-complete “dirty” sketches — one leftover from Hallow’s Eve, the two character sketches more recent. The last three are really fast drawings of things that either popped into my head or that I just didn’t have much time to draw. Those three fall into the “scribbles” category. They only end up on this site since Steve wanted me to do more full disclosure of my drawing habits. Anyone seen Steve lately?

Stained Glass WIP

Thursday, November 6th, 2008 | Drawings, SteveMack | 1 Comment

A friend of mine recently fulfilled a promise to draw me a sketch for one of my 3D scenes, that would eventually be a stained glass window texture. They did the sketch for me, and I started transforming it into stained glass. Something I’ve never really done before, so the process is a bit labor intensive as I discover new ways of Photoshopping.

Felix has been hounding me to put anything up, too.

I’m posting the original first, ©2008 Ying Xu, used with permission. The second is a half-res of my work so far.

It took everything I had to finish this. I was running out of time till the contest deadline and my attention span is tiny!
