Art Samurai Homework part 2


Here are some assignments from doing Art Samurai. I feel I have a lot to learn 
and I always learn something new from each workshop.
Character Reinterpretation - Gossamer from Looney Tunes
The theme - character reinterpretation. Take a cute character and draw the bad-ass comic book version or take a bad-ass comic book character and draw the cute cartoon version. I like some aspects of what I did. I never totally understood Gossamer as a kid. He was a good monster because he freaked me out. I love how he is smart enough to wear good running shoes to chase after people!

Three guys running
Perspective is the theme here. There's a lot I learned from this assignment. If I were to redo it, I am sure it would be much better. Tom explained perspective better than "How To" books ever have. I fixed my horizon line. You can see my old line on there a little. This was a lesson that went "click". When I do people in perspective in the future I will take what I got from this week.

Demon Baby!
For this one the theme was Layout and Storytelling. Draw a sequential page depicting a monster cornering a helpless victim against the wall. Finish the page dramatically with a hero killing the monster! I tried to have fun with it by not picking traditional characters in the roles needed. The layout could be improved to read it better. I learned quite a bit and had FUN! 

I will continue to do the homework assignments as much as I can.

Here are some assignments from doing Art Samurai. I feel I have a lot to learn 
and I always learn something new from each workshop.

Original Wicked Witch and 2013 Wicked Witch
The theme for this week's assignment was compare and contrast.
Have the classic Wicked Witch interact with the current movie.

I focused on getting good likenesses in the faces and costumes but should've added more to their positioning and poses. It could be much more dynamic and dramatic!

Gesture drawings of boxers, a gymnast and a cat. 
Character sketch from a gesture drawing.
The theme for this one was to do gesture sketches off of reference provided.
I think I did okay. I think they could have more flow and movement to them. I think I could take my character sketch a bit farther too.
