Quick Perspective Warm Ups

Here are a few quick images I did as perspective warm ups.
I am still learning and trying to grasp as much of this concept as I can before I have to apply it to my school work.
By referencing a few Tekkon Kinkreet scenes, I was able to get an understanding as to how some of the backgrounds were done.
Over the next little bit I am going to be producing my own perspective works...
Practice practice practice ahah!

Summer 2011 Sketch Book Dump

Hello everyone!
I'm finally posting some of my sketches from the summer! Woot!
There were many drawings I could pick and chose from, but I decided to show you guys my personal favourites.
I apologize for the faintness of some of the images...
A few of these sketches were only quickly jotted down and left as is.

Enjoy ~<3

New Tablet + New Adobe Photoshop

Just recently I got myself a new large sized Intuos 4 Wacom Tablet (after using a 3x4 wacom tablet for 7 years now ahaha) and Adobe Photoshop CS5.1.
Personally, I always preferred using Paint Tool SAI over Photoshop, however, with me taking the Sheridan Animation course this year I knew I would have to get out of that habit.
This time around I decided to try out a lineless painting style which I am still learning how to do.
I was referencing a scene from Sonic Heroes by SEGA to help me practice.
Hopefully I can finish this pic up soon!

1st Place Art Contest Entry

Yep. Another entry for an art contest on yet another game site.
For this image I took a background I did a while back and mixed it with a newly painted image. It's interesting to see how my style has changed over a short period of time...
I need to pay a lot more attention to the lighting and shading in this specific piece but regardless I appreciate all the votes this image got!

Thank you everyone!
Enjoy ~<3
