More Covered Bridge WIP

Feel like I finally made a breakthrough in progress on this project. Making it seem like it's able to become a finished centerpiece of my portfolio.

Covered Bridge WIP

So I'm working on texturing my covered bridge model. Earlier I ran into some serious Gamma correction issues and after I followed a tutorial on how to fix it I ended up with this.



I did manage to fix it and this is the work in progress beauty render I did earlier today.

Monthly Draw Community!

So the monthly draw community is starting to come together! The idea behind it is this. It's an online artist community where all involved draw/paint/sculpt/model their own version of an idea or concept provided by a different member of the community each month. To become apart of this super fun community do a few things

1. Have a blog

2. go to http://averagejoesketches.blogspot.com/ and follow my blog and all the other blogs under the "Monthly Draw! list located on the right hand side of my blog

3. Send me a message providing a link to the blog that you will be posting your monthly draw to, and an email address so I can contact everyone with announcements and such

also feel free to post anything else that you'd like to share with all the other people participating! I want to go to peoples blogs to see not only their contribution to the monthly draw but other stuff too!

Ethics Notes

I have a tendency to doodle rather than take notes during a lecture. These are my "notes" from today's ethics class

A call to artists!

I'm going to be putting together an online artist community. Each member would follow the other members. The goal would be for everyone to post a new drawing every month. Everyone's drawing will be their own version of the same idea/concept which will be provided by a different member of the community every month. The order will be randomly generated once we get a good group of people going. That we we can all enjoy each other's work and challenge each other to do something fun at least once a month.

Hope to see you apart of this!

Facial Expressions

Facial expressions are a lot of fun to draw. I just started attending Ai's Sketch Jam again for the first time in a long time and stretching out my sketching muscles again. For this sketch jam everyone took their turn posing facial expressions for everyone else to draw. Each drawing was 1 and 1/2 minutes.
