Texture Study

This is the texture study from class. By accident I learned how to do a light shading with pen! Because I was using a .02 micron, I turned it to its side like a piece of charcoal almost so it couldn't mark and it began to shade like a pencil! This was so cool I shaded the whole piece of wood with this technique.

My Hand

The hand in my castle is very large so once again I needed to practice in my sketchbook before doing the final thing. Once again I used the beige marker with warm grays to create shadows and curves. I used a white color pencil to give light to the top areas of my hand and arm. I also practiced a small mechwarrior below when I was trying to figure out color schemes for the different mechwarriors in my castle.

Shadowcat

This is a mechwarrior I practiced in my sketchbook for my castle project. Because it was in my sketchbook I wasn't scared or timid about taking risks with the markers. But as it turned out the risks paid off and this really got me to love markers instead of just watercolors.

Assorted Judiths

Drawing someone multiple times is helpful to understand spacing of different features of the face. I later used this to practice rendering for my castle project. With the two faces to the left I used the actual "flesh" labeled chartpak marker. But I found beige with warm grays for shadow and value to be the best marker for skin though it does turn out a little dark. Don't worry, I do take notes during class these are compiled from multiple days.
