Genie of the Lamp

This image draws my attention to the smoke and grassy details first. Only then do I see how well designed that lamp is!
When attention is drawn away from those, I immediately see how relaxed the genie appears to be, like she is purposely resting instead of instantly going to her feet. Can't blame her for that, if the person who freed her will be specifically rude about it, it's a perfect way to choose how well or poorly the wishes shall be granted.

Day of the Deviant

DeviantArt regularly does a 'Day of the Deviant' fun day-week. This is waitthk's answer to it! I have personally fallen in love with how they drew the witch-like character flying around to make deliveries. I can't help but agree with a comment they got on this piece, this does look very much like something I would expect to see from Studio Ghibli.
It's not even just the colors. Take a look at how everything in this was designed. Amazing work!

Girl in Holo Jacket

Love love love how the jacket reflects the color like it's doing! I wonder how long it took to get it to paint and blend like it has right here? Of course I'm 100% in line with how metallic-appearing the less-colored areas are. And it looks to be much warmer than a windbreaker too!
The girl's eyes are perfect to go with her blonde hair and how the rest of the colors work out. But I can't help but wonder how long it took her to get her hair pulled up that way? It's perfect!

Weren't these images great to see this week? To view more of waitthk's artwork check out their deviantart gallery! Don't forget to check out their folders at the top, like I keep saying. Don't want to miss anything!

Timed Lessons 2

A lamp in bird's eye perspective! Oh gosh, this was hard...I had all of 4 minutes left out of the 45 minutes I was allowed for this assignment.
Perfection, your lying promises are hard to ignore! 

If I had allowed myself a little more looseness with this project, maybe there could have been some color to it. But, I have to say that I'm fairly happy with how it came out. The bulb could have been a little more round and its 'stem' could have been shorter to fit with perspective, but I'm very happy to get this done.

One more of these timed lessons to go! Tutor suggested that I didn't need to draw the pill bottle from before since those would just be following the perspective of the table or counter it was on. So...yay. XD

Timed lessons

Lesson 1: Pill Bottle

It was intended to be a 45 minute limit but I forgot to set my timer, so ended up using about an hour on it. I'm not too proud that it's not even complete but this first failure helped me realize that timed lessons will help me make faster, looser sketches and actually complete one later.

That said, I'm not too upset with how this looks. It really does look like the part of a pill bottle that holds the medicine, except that scratchy part around the top line! 

The next two pieces to this lesson will be a microwave and a lamp, keep an eye out!

Lesson 2: Microwave

Remembered the timer this time! This is what I got in 45 minutes. Only now do I realize that I forgot to have the front going to the same perspective as the bottom of the microwave...not too unhappy with it though. 

And it's much better this time because I got to finalize some lines, unlike with my pill bottle above. XD
