Yay, Artbooks have arrived!

Finally I have them, I read them and smell them)))

Combat Sim Randomizer and Generators for artists

Sometimes I get stuck and frustrated, I don't know what topic to choose for painting or sketching. To resolve that problem, I find generators to be an useful thing, here are some of them:

City generator
Character generator
Lots of various generators

So here is very simple script that gives you 3 random numbers according to Autodestruct's Combat Sim 1 Virtual Art Director (read his very very cool article about concepting!). Just open it in a browser and press "refresh" to change numbers. Hope it helps))

Concepts studies

Bunch of concepts done as a homework for Roman Guro Concept Art class:

Free Digital Painting video tutorials

Here are some great tutorials you should see. What I value the most - not just showing a process of good painting, but also explaining WHY and HOW.

Cartoon movies production Art

A lot of great stuff here: http://livlily.blogspot.com/
Especially I love Tangled's Art - great color keys, locations and, off course, characters ) http://livlily.blogspot.com/2011/11/tangled-2010-visual-development_29.html

Wang Yi Guang

I've just fell in love... That's beautiful!

Roman Guro online class - Skin color study

Painting skin was a real challenge for me. To find all those colors you barely see is not so easy :)

3D Lizard Head

My attempt to Blender Sculpt mode. At first it was really annoying, cause everything seems so much different from 2D painting, but after a while... well it got a little better and interesting) Hope to make more creepy creatures)))

Roman Guro online class - HomeWork 02

I had not so much time for this one, so a lot of proportions distorted... Hope to do better next time)))

Roman Guro online class - HomeWork 00

I've signed up for Roman's online Digital Painting class (http://guro-games.com/course.htm) and would like to share my progress ))) Hope to get better and better ^_^
The zero task was just about checking ours abilities, so we couldn't use any references.

Funny creature to cheer you up!

Portrait study

Studies...

Anatomy resources for self-study

Here I want to share with you some stuff which I use to study human anatomy ) I also would like to clean the mess in my resources and categorize it, so I could go back to this post in future and add more usefull information.
Don't forget to use knowlege from these books and lessons  in  drawing and painting people from life. This way you will transform 2D schemes of muscles into 3D understanding of human body.
Good luck!

Hey, wellcome to my little Blog ^_^

Still not sure what I'm going to write about here, but I hope to make my blog at least a little  usefull )))
