Visual Design Work

I've reworked my visual design stuff and done a lot more studies of still life and fruit.

I've really gotten a lot faster at digital art over the past year, not just that but in my pencil studies I think my rendering has improved and my ability to draw elliptical shapes to.

Drawing more and more things helps you improve, for example the more times you do something you get better (or at least you should get better) while you progress.  I think drawing fruits has improved my colour theory to for example there was a time when I would use black for shadows and highlights now I've learned that using darker tones of colour something is better because it slightly shows up in the shadow/highlight.

I tried putting my new 9th floor ideas into action. based on an edited floor plan I did.

Basically it's just the life drawing area, I like simplicity, so I wanted to do something that got the job with a lot of open space to draw in that area, I want a nice clean design which I think I achieved.

Thing is, it's hard to render and applying lighting  when you try to draw something from your mind cause it I think most times out of ten it doesn't always turn out the way you 'imagineered' it.

On the other hand I added a little more to my writing project, I just added a couple of more things in there that I originally planned , I found this project hard to say the least.

Some more fruit:

Went with portrait this time as my original pieces are just the fruit itself and empty space around it which I think was a problem with a lot of them.

Cultural project... well I blame 'imagineering' again for the turn out of my Photoshop version of this, I work better with a pencil and paper in greyscale, that's all I'll say.
