Getting Back Into Painting - Part 2

Image
Continuing on from my last post, I spent a few hours today experimenting on Procreate to play around with brushes, layer types and just generally get back into painting again.  I definitely wasn’t as loose as I would have liked, but I tried a lot of different things and I am happy with the outcome. I started by looking at a reference image for inspiration and began sketching from there, I think overall this piece took me about an hour and a half. I also was able to get a timelapse of my process, I have included screenshots and the timelapse. 2 and a half minute timelapse showing the process of creating the piece. The outline for this piece I wanted to keep quite loose, I knew my end result I wanted to look quite abstract, so I didn’t want to spend too long on the outline stage as I wouldn’t get a lot of use from it. I stuck to using two hues next to each other on the colour wheel to paint this, and unlike in my previous piece, I just painted with colour rather than grayscale then gradi

Digital Sketchbook Update - Part 1

Image
Similar to my update on my sketchbook outside of University work, I wanted to do a digital sketchbook summary of any bits I have done, especially as I have been unwell, these odd bits of sketching have definitely helped me get back into painting again. I will include images and the 30 second timelapse’s for each, then I have everything in one place! Having a mental disorder is tricky, because while I love art and creating, when a spell hits of feeling particularly unwell, I stop doing everything I enjoy. So I am happy that I have been able to have these moments of sketching and experimenting - hopefully I will be able to do another blog post with more of these sketches in future! A duck! I wanted to experiment with a more sketchy style, like it was drawn on paper with pencils and crayons. I think I did this one with the hopes of making it a sticker. I was inspired by artist “a.does.art.22”, their art is really fun to look at and very sketchy and colourful. I have included a link here:

Choosing a Theme for My Concepts

Image
After looking through ArtStation at what other concept artists are doing in their prop designs, I wanted to try to settle on a theme for my own set of props. So I went on Pinterest to begin doing research and seeing where I ended up, below are some screenshots of things I saved along with my thought process and a link to the Pinterest board. https://www.pinterest.co.uk/kitbyrnegd/xb4406-games-design-advanced-practice/ Starting off I just saved some general prop concepts to get a feel for how they are laid out on paper and how they are designed. Next I started to try to look for a retro feel but set in space, I came across the term Retrofuturism which helped in my search. I looked at products and advertisements from the 40's and 50's, a big focus in the late 40's going into the 50's was put into consumerism due to the second world war ending. So I saved a lot of products for the home that were around this time. Fallout 4 has some really nice concept art which falls under
