Creation Magic

This space is to keep my graphic creations as I learn more about graphic design in school and develop as a designer.

Another lesson with Disney Animation Studios. I've realized in my drawings so far, (some I haven't posted) I really enjoy non human characters. They tend to have more forgiving or sometimes more direct line work.

Changed it up and attempted some mechanical pencil to paper drawing. Disney Animation studios is releasing drawing tutorials for characters. Since Disney is one of my biggest inspirations in my desire to explore art and animation type designing, it was a joy to learn to draw Elsa. Plus I’ve been singing the Frozen 2 sound track for about a month straight now…

The was definitely a challenge and if felt really great to keep trying until I got it

My DnD character, Dabrea, a Tiefling Noble Rogue Assassin. I’m trying to explore more details in lighting and shadows

Another Lore Olympus! Hecate is a fun character and is a great supporting character. I was able to do this with less help from my template so hopefully that means I’m improving at least with this style.

I love Lore Olympus. There is a ton of amazing fan art on the fan page so I wanted to try my hand at it. I’m still not great without a stencil to go off of but I was able to tweak the original photo to match what I was going for with my attempt at some Wrathful Kore art.

Trying my hand at some digital art again. I saw a photo of a “pink robin” and thought it was so gorgeous. The colors were so vibrant, I color matched them from the photo so they’re no exaggeration. I’m really interested in learning more about lighting and shading for drawing.

I really want to learn how to draw better with digital art. Here is my try at Doctor Harris Bonkers, PHD.

This promo poster is a second draft I did in my own time for my GRPH 117 course. It was intro to Photoshop Elements. The assignment was to create a promo poster for your favorite bands. I went a little outside of that and chose to feature my favorite rude boiiz (@theadventurezone) covering some of my favorite songs. I also included the CD jacket I created for the assignment. Please enjoy! 

This was my first independent work since I turned in the first version as my final. Any constructive feedback is welcome!
