Alienstein (+ New facebook page!)

Xenostein? Frankenmorph? Haha. Just a sketch for fun :)

P.S.: I opened a Facebook page not too long ago. There's still not much there, but I'll be using it to post stuff more frequently. Check it out! Facebook.com/jose8art

Creature Head Variations

Practicing variation of designs within the same silhouette. I took the variations a little bit further with some quick values to experiment with some dimension, but nothing too serious.


I'm also finally getting more comfortable doing lineart in PS... woo!

Portrait practice

A portrait from reference. I'm trying to get used to some restrictions for practice, so this one's done just with the default hard round brush in PS.
I tried to prioritize anatomy and light over details, trying to find out a comfortable way for me to do these quickly. So far so good, I think :)

Pagodas

Some Asian architecture sketches and a quick photo overlay for one of them.

Feet Studies

A couple anatomical studies of feet I did a while ago for Michael Hampton's anatomy class at CGMA.

Alien Sketches

Aliens are probably my favorite thing to draw, so here's some from my sketchbook! (and a demon or whatever on the top left...)
I might take a few of these to a refined stage later on.

Figure sketches

Some stuff from my sketchbook. I've been attending some life-drawing sessions for the first time and I have to say that I love it. It's definitely not the same that drawing from a picture.
I only wish we had some more time to draw the pose, but I can imagine how hard that must be for the model. Seriously, props to those guys!

These range from 5 - 30 minutes (I think the one on the top is like 40 mins, maybe).
 

P.S.: Oh, and the two faces are from photo references. The male one is from here: http://www.portrait-photos.org/photo/19499.html , and the female one from here: http://www.portrait-photos.org/photo/15788.html (Great site for portraits)
