So I haven't posted in here for a while. It doesn't really matter because nobody really reads this blog anyway. Computer Science has me so occupied it has my poor blog filled with tumbleweeds...oh well, such is the life of those who dare try walking the lonely road of code. I'm hoping I can make a much better looking website somewhere near the future to put all my artwork and projects. A much dynamic website as portafolio.
I had been getting more practice in Maya. I try doing an oc, but right now it just looks like a small, beer drinking teddy bear. It's supposed to look more unique once I gave him some texture. Exporting it to Mudbox was much harder than I thought. Apparently, you have to make sure you have the UV mapping right. I had been trying to follow some tutorials...but UV mapping...it's pretty complicated. I haven't gotten the complete understanding of it yet. But the point of this blog, apart from been able to post my artwork, is to record my process. So alas, here's a simple brown teddy bear imitating the Titanic Movie's pose.

3d sculpting in Maya

 In this blog, I will be posting 3d sculptings I have done using Adobe Maya. I have done all of them following tutorials. They're the greatest, but I do them in my free time for practice. 

Look at the shiny light bulbs.

More art drawings

      I know I haven't post anything for a year. I been busy with my Computer Science classes, learning how to code, and the occasional drawing when I have spare time. Last year I took the class Drawing II because I wanted to learn to draw better and I didn't wanted my academic life just to concentrate in programing. I can say I learn a lot and I'm very happy with some of the projects I did. I wasn't able to take another drawing class this semester, because I don't want to keep stalling my graduation date, but I'm still drawing in my spare time. So I'm going to post some of the works that I really liked from Drawing II and others I did in my free time. I'm also going to post some programs I have done, because I also want to record my process as a programer.

       This is a fanart I did for the lead singer of Fallout Boy, Patrick Stump. Its him singing in lego form. I purchased a VIP ticket to go the Monument Tour last April and it included a Meet and Greet. So I wanted to give him something fun and unique, apart that it will be good practice and challenging to draw in Adobe Photoshop. I took me a lot of time, but I'm really happy with the results. I still think the hands are a little smaller for its proportion, and the left side of its face seems a little burned. Maybe cause I added too much brown in the shading.

One of my personal favorites. The professor ask us to draw an auto portrait of ourselves with pencil. It can portray that "I don't care" attitude. To me, it represents that when I'm drawing, nothing else matters in the world.

Another personal favorite from my Drawing II class. I first drew them in pencil, as shown in the photo below this one, then in the page above it, I drew and paint them with printer's ink.  I was trying to explore what I could do with the ink that was more artistic than just painting some pretty eyes.  I'm a big fan of colors and I get inspired a lot with anything that looks eeirie. So I look up at some photos of eyes in the internet, and tried painting them in different styles. I do feel like I should had drawn the two last eyes more seperatly since they're both from the same face. I also think the dripping eye would had look better with less colors. 

An exercise to practice drawing ears with pencil and pen. Most of them are in a similar position, however, they're all from different people and with different jewelry. My main focus was to practice making small details with pencil and pen, and practice shading. I was a little nervous that the ears done in pen weren't going to come out well, but I'm happy with the result.

An exercise to practice drawing noses. Apart from practicing different positions, I wanted to practice movement. So I made my sister turn her head slowly and took photos. I recognize the noses done in pen didn't come out as well.  

First Blog

Hello, and welcome to my art blog, where I'll be posting mainly about the different art projects I had been working on. 



Sketch of a model in crouching position. Drawn by pencil. 

Hand exercise. Drawn by pencil, and colored with ©Crayola drawing pencils and crayons. 

A miniature interpretation of a studio. Most of the props seen here were done using cardboard, foam and wood for crafts. Many of the materials were recyclables. 

 I did not make the mannequin, he/she is just there for photography purposes.
