Day 3, Week 2, CDW Workshop

I had a laptop today!!! My awesome friend Izzy let me borrow it last night and man, does it make a difference!!! The day absolutely flew! I also have to say I love Aaron Beck! He is refreshingly honest about everything, and you can ask him anything! This is his blog: http://skul4aface.blogspot.com.au/ His designs are incredible. While I'm at it, here are the rest of the places that you can see the Artist's artwork. Simon Scales: http://simon-scales.blogspot.com.au/ Simon is the Director of CDW. Victoria Ying: http://victoriaying.blogspot.com.au/ Victoria Ying works at Disney Feature Animation. Mike Yamada: http://mikeyamada.blogspot.com.au/ Mike Yamada works at Dreamworks Animation. Bryan Wynia: http://bryanwynia.blogspot.com.au/ Bryan Wynia was teaching us sculpture in Z Brush. It was a real eye-opener! Jaime Jones: http://www.artpad.org/ Jaime Jones is the most amazing Artist I have ever seen. Ben Mauro: http://benmauro.blogspot.com.au/ Ben Mauro is working at WETA in New Zealand. He also taught a workshop in Z Brush. He's also a great Artist. Khang Le: http://khang-le.com/ I call Khang Le the Art Rocket Scientist because he does awesome things in Photoshop. He's the creator of Hawken. Also, an A-Mazing Artist. I'm so glad it's only Wednesday. I was worried it was Thursday today... so I hope I appreciate tomorrow when I'm there. CDW has made me so curious, and you realize how much you don't know about certain things. I have so much to learn and so much information to get, and lots and lots of practice... This is one part of homework from Simon Scales. We have to do 5 black and white paintings working with values. It still needs work but we were only meant to spend 2 hours on each one. I'm ok with it now but actually happier that I'm getting critical based on what I now know from doing the course, on lighting, soft and hard edge lines etc. It's really exciting :)

Also, here is a work in progress, but I'm not sure when I'll finish it, it was an experiment with colouring in Photoshop.

Can't wait for tomorrow. I actually really have to go now to continue with my sketching of hands...
