If you didn't know this by now, today (August 31st) is Miku Hatsune's 4th birthday.
I actually forgot about it until just yesterday, and incidentally didn't know what to draw for my youtube video this week. Perfect subject, and perfect time too! :D
Late, AND nothing to post about this week! Why? I was internet-less for a few days, and when I got back, was flooded with comments and emails from everywhere. Spent time responding, but then didn't have time to write a post.
So, here's two youtube videos of a couple of sketches I made, both of them of Miku. Feel free to comment, critique, etc.
Kodomut had some problems trying to get his shot looking right, and eventually gave up. I asked him for the image so I could get a crack at it with some photoshop magic.
I’ve been looking back at my own artwork again, and since I haven’t painted in a long time, decided to try some exercises. I want to move more towards realism, in whatever way I can, and try to create things that are unique in both anime and realism – a hybrid as you may have heard me talk about it before. One thing that I did want to improve upon was understanding light and shadow more. So I did a couple of exercise studies and painted a few things that I saw on my desk. It wasn’t very fun until I decided to give Miku a try.
