Woot. Woot. Aaron's sketchbook-type thread.

[Aaron C-T]

Been awhile, hasn't it? Hopefully I'll have some stuff to update this with every week until I head back to college on the 5th of January. Hopefully. Here's some new stuff from my new DevArt account:

^ Knuckles sketch from that "What's Sonic Canon?" topic from a week or two back. I've worked on neither that nor this since then. I don't really have the time for it I thought I did. Essentially while trying to do concepts for this I realized I don't yet have the abilities needed (so I'm going to focus on copying things from books, drawing from observation, etc). This'll have to take a backseat and maybe I'll pick up the idea over summer. Just trying to focus on getting better before my storyboarding class next quarter.

^ Having pretty much no art background, my classes this past quarter was full of first. I had never used charcoal, gauche, or colored pencil (at least not seriously) before. This shows improvement, hopefully, from my earlier projects.

^ Project from my 2D Design class. We had to use a grid to make a room that somehow was a "window into another world." I originally wanted to take this very literally and draw a dining room with a window, and you could see a world in space behind it. I ended up not being an a-hole, though, and changed the idea to the room being ripped apart to show two worlds.

^ We had to use 25 ribbons to represent and emotion. I didn't start out with an emotion, I just started drawing out shapes in my sketchbook. I think the initial few made me want to express how one can feel "free," but that was way before I added the other 20-something ribbons in. As I was doing this I changed it to "confusion." There's an upside down heart-type shape in there that someone pointed out. Cool, but not intentional.

C&C more than welcome. Thanks in advance.

See? Told you guyz Knuckles iz blak. xD

Those are some awesome sketched, scatz, how long did they take you?

First one took maybe.. half an hour in total. I kept trying to draw stuff, I can't seem to get hoods to work properly. The other three took hours at a time because they were for grades. My 2D final, the ribbon one, didn't take nearly as long as some of my other projects, though. I started incredibly early and finished my concept before quite a few of my classmates because I knew I sucked with gauche and I wanted to be done with it so I could work on the charcoal dino. Thanks
