Semester Ends


Hey Guys Semester is freaking over!!! Anyway hope all your finals went alright. Anyway just wanted to post it here but after our last day in Anthony Jones class he made the announcement that he "WOULD" actually teach at lcad again. So I was wrong! The chances of you guys getting a class with him next fall is waaaaay higher now. Anywho since it's break good time to get in studies again. I'd thought I would post some of the study assignments we did in AJ's class. Anyway give these a whirl over break if you can. You'll get a lot out of them. I posted examples from Jessica Dinh, Rob Lund, Ian Jacobson, Sang Lee

Anyway first assignment- 22 portraits in this order

1 from imagination
10 from life
10 from master paintings past and present
1 from imagination again to see if you learned or improved

a worthwhile attempt! Meaning you put a decent amount of time into them, values, lighting, proportions mostly correct ect...
examples



Second assignment ...


660 thumbnails!220 Silhoette, 220 Abstract, 220 drawn out.
Sci Fi ???Ranger living in a blade runner like enviro they use an interesting weapon made from the corporation “Star” founded in the time of SD-129 , searching for “The Forgotten”
The forgotten was once part of a corp. who founded the weapon that your character. They must be destroyed so the weapon cant be re made.
