New Styles

This is my workspace for traditional works. :) I need a new desk though ahaha maybe when I get some money in. :) So, I've been trying out different types of styles.. just trying to find 'the one' for me. I'll upload the sketches sometime when I get the energy to scan my notebook. Yeah, I'm that lazy. :P

5am in the morning..


So decided to stay up til 5 am to watch the Chiustream and while waiting I decided to finish off my "creatures of the deep sea" painting. :) 

You can see the block in phase of this painting on my previous post. :) and not because I was so obsessed with sea creatures my Chiustream entry became something about creatures as well.. granted I'm not good at fast painting.. :))  I have decided to share it with you guys haha!

Elections Tomorrow!



I decided to make this process video since a few people were asking me how I go through making final pieces so yeah this is the first of 3 videos I'm working on for this piece called "Night's Sky"
This is what I call just the thumbnail phase of getting the work done. Basically just making really basic sketches not working on detail at all and maybe adding some values into the piece as well. :)

Hope it helps :)

Oh, I will be starting an hour of live streaming on http://ustream.tv/carrierodriguez/ hopefully I can work that in everyday @ 4pm (GMT+8) Basically during the live streaming I will be showing you how I go about working on pieces, drawing studies and other things as well related to art. So hope you guys tune in to that from time to time. :)

I participated in the LIVE TAD free workshop last saturday and it was a blast! It was absolutely wonderful getting together with artists and hearing what people had to say about getting into the business, how they work, what inspires them, and a lot more. Check it out http://conceptart.org/forums/showthread.php?t=187742

So thats it for now. I would also like to thank all those who are actually supporting me right now especially on Twitter :)
Big thanks to Jellyfish Opera for just checking my blog from time to time as well. :)


XoXo

Update: Livestreaming will be mon,wed,fri guys. :) I have to work out my schedule since I've got to start reviewing for school :)

How was your day?



I've been watching a few documentaries such as Religulous, that was an absolutely great documentary they should be preaching that movie to everyone! If you believe in God you have to watch it.. you'll totally be questioning everything after the movie. :)

I decided to post up a little video on how I draw eyes.. :)



If you've got your own technique as well please share it! :) I love learning how different artists work. :)




This is the final output of that video.

My computer crashing..

I worked about 3+ hours on a piece it was themed on more Children's Book Illustration.. basically a girl fishing in the sea on a boat.. well, just as I was adding the final textures my computer crashes. Oh well, it just wasn't meant to be then. That or maybe I need to upgrade my hard drive.

Anyway. I started over an came up with something else.. I'm not done with it yet but heres the WIP.

still trying to figure out how I want the hand and arm to be.. can't decide. :(
