Venting Process

I never really warm-up before getting on with my artwork nor do I sketch profusely throughout the day to keep with practice. I have this "unorthodox" way of making myself do art. If you watch me long enough you'd probably catch me in some sort of daze, waving my hand to find the perfect stroke with my invisible pencil while I smirk at myself. Sometimes though, when all methods of conjuring inspiration just fails to produce, I would break open Corel and start to paint.

Now, the pieces I usually start out with have some kind of reference, enough for the basic structure to stand on it's own. I NEVER really have any intentions on finishing pieces made in Corel (which, most of them aren't) because I have the most stubborn way of convincing myself that it would be my kind of "warm-up" before I get to the real artwork I was supposed to do. Nevertheless, my quick little go at Corel goes from a 15 minute sketch-paint ordeal turned into a full-throttle four hour session of an almost finished product. Sigh.

Anyway, this is my little process on how I tackle my madness. These steps aren't even complete but for now, she currently sits in my pile of 'WIP'. My fire for this piece still burns strong though, I have a feeling I will end up finishing her.

I really should get back to work.

Update//Catch-Up

Sorry for the super late update! Since the beginning of the year I've just been going on a downhill spiral of workload. I'm currently trying to graduate in about 13 weeks and I'm on a very limited time crunch to even do anything else. I'm actually running on 5 hours of sleep as I'm typing this. To compensate for my long absence, this is a teaser shot from one of my demo scenes. It's a Flash, Cut-Out Style animation and cooked in After Effects. This is Dew, my protagonist, by his muddy burrow of a house.
