The last drawing for the week of hand studies. Only got three out of five due to school and work.

Night two of the hand studies. I think I'll post the next few nights as a group.

hand studies, night one

Over in the character design thread, my fellow classmate/threadmate arkos78 suggested working on our hands, prompted by the poor results of my character design (seen here), but he admitted his need work too. So we're working on hands until Saturday, and posting as we go. click for larger.

character design homework 1

I'm being mentored in the CA.org forums in character design. Funshack's prompt for this exercise is a human musician, male or female, who loves nature, doesn't like to wear shoes, and can use his/her instrument like a weapon. Here's the start of my idea.

color study one

CA.org has a wonderful mentoring section where people can learn a number of art skills. A number are for mentors and select mentorees only, but a few encourage following along. This is one I did from Jens's color studies thread. First time really doing a digital painting like this. Glad they're supposed to be simple.

Endcatcher: Aang

This bit of fanart is a response to Becky's little game over at deviantArt. It's called Endcatcher, and I got the follow-up to "Saya," done by PhantomSpider. Aang begins with "A," so here he is. I'm pleased with how quickly I got him drawn.
