Sam Nielson's Advanced Lighting

Sorry I've been slow to update. My class with Sam Nielson is about to come to a close, so I will be posting a bit more regularly very soon. In the meantime, here's one of my assignments, painting hair. The original monster design is Sam's. The rendering was left to us. The feathers in the mouth were my idea. :-)

If you're really serious about getting better and learning everything you didn't learn in art school, but should've, I'd highly recommend this class. Just realize it's a humbling experience, but one that will leave you all the greater of an artist for it.

Sketches....

Hi...uuhhh...remember me? Sorry about the monthlong delay on updates. In my defense, I'm taking an online class right now with Schoolism taught by the incomparable (and tough grader...) Sam Nielsen. It's an amazing class, but it takes up almost all my time. Here are some sketches I've been able to sneak in....

Don't mind the elephant that's bleeding through on the left side....

Dragon Slayer Extraordinarie

NEWS FLASH: THIS IS NOT FOR ARTORDER!!!! Nope, it's for ANOTHER art challenge, in this case, Imaginism Studios'. Rules for the challenge can be found at their DeviantArt website.

The dragon is Kei Acedera's creation, as reinterpreted by me. Hope she likes it...

Oh finally, if you're thinking about taking a class to up the quality of your artwork and your marketability as a professional illustrator, seriously check out Imaginism's online school, Schoolism. I've talked about it before, but I cannot overstress how highly I think about Schoolism.
