1/11/15 - Cop Bot and Phone Uploads

Bit of a late upload this time!

Today I learned I need a more efficient method of uploading sketches to my computer. As you can see, this quality isn't really all that great for uploading sketches to PS:

 And from that I made this:

That was an older sketch whose helmet I liked. Its nice to see the transition from physical to digital; I just need to figure out a more efficient way of uploading what I have.

In addition, I need to work on my rendering. Specifically, clarifying forms. I've recently invested in a few books on the subject that I'm reading, and I'm resuming classes on the 26th, so improvement should be coming. My goal this semester is to improve my fundamentals - I want to improve my perspective, proportion, use of line, value and understanding of form and shadow specifically. Hopefully, that will be evident in my work for the next few months.

One final note: Unless I can dramatically improve my current setup for digital painting, I might hold off on doing digital uploads until I get back to school. The way I have everything set up now it is difficult to line up my actions on the tablet with the monitor. If that's the case, I'll be sticking to line and marker until the 26th.

Hope you enjoyed, and I'll be back tomorrow!
