Robots!... some "Aliens"... and a bird.

pen, ink, and pencil

Here are some of my in class intermediate figure drawings. These are long poses (2-4 hours) and they are with yellow ochre and sanguine nupastels and black/white charcoal.

Hey everyone so this a bit older but only by a few weeks . I specialized in working with illustrator and making things work in 2d cell shading . I really find illustrator to be really easy and fun and I will soon put up tutorial videos via you tube for people that have a bit of a struggle with using the software . I start off with sketches then from the sketches I pick the best one and then go from there using the software.

Hey everyone I would like to introduce my self my name is Sanjit Choudhury . I am a digital illustrator at a small studio called Fantage.com. This is my take of Darth Maul I posted this up on the facebook page but I want to put it on here as well . I will be posting up work that I am doing in the studio once they are released on the web from the company I will be putting them up on here . I am glad to be a part of this because Academy of Art have so many great artists and I am happy to be a part of the group .

I hope you all have a wonderful weekend

Cheers ,
Sanjit

This is an older drawing I brought out to do a test with Prismacolor colored pencils. 

I was very surprised at the results.

I like using colored pencils. Who knew?

I took a note from David Colman, on this one.

Artist Profile #4: Audrey Kawasaki

"The themes in Audrey Kawasaki's work are contradictions within themselves. Her work is both innocent and erotic. Each subject is attractive yet disturbing. Audrey's precise technical style is at once influenced by both manga comics and Art Nouveau. Her sharp graphic imagery is combined with the natural grain of the wood panels she paints on, bringing an unexpected warmth to enigmatic subject matter. 

The figures she paints are seductive and contain an air of melancholy. They exist in their own sensually esoteric realm, yet at the same time present a sense of accessibility that draws the observer to them. These mysterious young women captivate with the direct stare of their bedroom eyes."

The wonderful Audrey Kawasaki. I couldn't find any other words than those on her info page to describe her art style. It's mystical, whimsical, with a hint of yearning enveloped in beauty. Her work, aside from Brian Viveros, which I featured earlier, is part of my inspiration.

Artist Profile #3: Peter de Sève

Peter de Sève is an accomplished illustrator and visual development artist, mostly known for his amazing New Yorker covers, and his delightful character designs for the Ice Age films.
He's the guy who designed Scrat. 

Yeah. That guy. He's awesome.

The greatest thing about his illustrations is the incredibly amount of character and design he infuses into them. I talk a lot about story, because I think it's the most important thing an artist can consider when designing for a film... or anything really. And it would seem that's all Peter does is focus on story, because his paintings are so rich with it, it's just insane.
