Semi-Realism Studies

These are my attempts at semi-realism.  From a basic ball, to still life to real people, this has been my journey!

Sketches

These are my sketch works.  I played around with pencil here and experimented with digital watercolor.

Cartoonism

My style is influenced by anime, but I wanted to branch out into other forms of cartoons as well.  Here are my two studies of two different cartoon styles: Lavendertowne's (Left) and Cuphead (Right).

Lighting and Color studies

Many of the drawings I do are character designs, so lighting and rendering are not important as they goal of the piece is simply to get what the character looks like out of my head and onto paper.  However, I still want to develop my rendering skills, so I did some studies shown below. 

Graphic Design

I am mostly a character artist and visual storyteller, but I thought I'd experiment in a bit of poster art as well.  On the left is a joke poster I did for a fan-made musical adaptation of a show I like and, on the right, is a poster I drew for a game I plan on develp

Object design and video game assets

My goal as an artist is to be able to tell my stories, which involves more than just understanding of characters.  Below are examples of objects and user interface I have designed and drawn for some stories ideas I have for visual mediums such as comics and video games.

Character designs

My passion is character design.  Here below is a character design I drew in a basic front view along with a full Character Line Up of a bunch of different characters I designed all standing next to each other.

Animation

I have dabbled in animation as well in my art journey and, I have taken three animation classes.  This is a simple gif I animated myself for a school project.
