Temple

This was my attempt at the Temple which I hated doing, it isn't amazing but to me it's the best I could do. Considering Maya is kind of my worst enemy I'm proud of what I did. 

Here it is:

Insectoid

This is what I came up with for the insectoid project, I liked the idea of an praying mantis that could fly. I really liked the final idea, as it had camouflage as well as the fighting skills of the praying mantis and the ability to flee, due to the moths wings.

And so I came up with the montis:

Guns!! (Retro Style)

This task was one of my favourites as I like guns anyway, where most of the other people on the course went for a futuristic gun I went with the retro styled guns as that's my personal preference. So I decided to look at flintlocks and Tommy guns as they are my favourite guns in general, I then drew up a couple of guns from the mood board I created. I lastly put the two together to create one of the coolest mash up guns ever in my mind. So here they are:

 

The Best Maya I've Done

This is the best Maya that I did, I've realised that I am really no good at Maya. I'm a lot better at the drawing side of things, I can't get a grip on how Maya works, I know it'll just be a matter of time and practice but I really can't get into it. 

Anyway this was my best attempt at the Maya work we've been set. I didn't want to upload some of the other work as it isn't very good. But here are the tools we were set to model:

Studying Anatomy

I liked this project a lot as I knew where most of the bones were and there names due to a background of PE, where we had to be able to name at least 25 bones, and also Biology.
I like drawing bones for some reason, I find them easy to draw but some of them also resemble other things, for example the pelvis almost looks like a butterfly.
But here are my little sketches and my labeled diagrams:

Two Point Perspective Tank

I like to draw in perspective as for things like this it's a lot easier due to the fact that this in particular is essentially just blocks with shading to show depth and tone. Although it is a lot easier to mess up when doing something like this it's a lot easier to me, for example if I was to draw something like this without two point perspective I would have found it incredibly difficult.

I am fairly proud of this as normally I cannot draw vehicles however this time I managed to complete it fairly well.

Best Life Drawings yet

The last session of the year showed my progress when it comes to life drawing, it showed how I can use tone and have almost get proportion right all the time. I've realised that I quite enjoy life drawing now as I can almost use it as an escape and a chance to study the human body closely. Even though I can't concentrate on the face which is what I like to do normally, it's a nice and calming time for me to do meaningful work.
Here are the two best that I have done this year:
