Quick Sketches

I limited myself to an hour on this one, and this is what I ended with. I also decided not to use an eraser at all and see what mess would result. My iPhone doesn't take the best pictures either...


A sort of collage sketched up a while ago for a good friend of mine. I've never seen headphones and a record put together to make a guitar, so I claim that idea.
I'll finish a full drawing of this someday.


A quick sketch-up to get my perspective right for a drawing I wanted to do.  Since I'm so in love with music, I figured what better way to showcase that than to draw a massive set of headphones.


The result of that previous sketch. Perspective looks right to me, so I'm glad I got that down. It was the toughest aspect for me. I want to find a way to incorporate headphones in the next drawing I'll do. it should be easier the second time around.


As I am obsessed with space, the only logical thing would be to create a piece of space art.  I used a pen for this, and made it real quickly.  It's not a complete piece, but it's as complete as I'm going to make it.

Cherry Blossom: WIP

Painting with a mouse is tougher than expected, but I'm making headway. So far, lighting is the most delicate part of painting this branch. I've been painting and repainting the shadows and highlights, but so far this is the best result.

Nearly 2 hours painting

Rediscovering an Interest

  After about 6 months of being busy with classes and wasting my time and money with friends, I have finally been able to slow down and begin focusing on art again. I've been active on deviantArt ( http://mt-y.deviantart.com/ ) for about a month from starting up again.
  Here is my latest piece:
Rendered in Cinema 4D.  About 30 minutes of me trying to remember my way around the program and getting back into the rhythm again.

I am ready to focus on digital paintings in Photoshop though.  I have a tablet headed my way from Canada, courtesy of my big brother.

Now time to crack down and create a masterpiece...
