College work for now

So.. This is what I've been up to!

For part of my course i have to draw an environment from a picture just for compositional practice for a future task.

This is the picture i have chosen (from google images and not my own)

Simple composition.

 After a lot of work.

At this point in time i am not entirely happy with this piece and feel it is lacking in some of the compositional areas therefore i feel i am going to have to add more to the picture that i can not see e.g. extra framing of the image / considering how it works next to the rule of Thirds/ Golden Spiral.

Thank you, 

I hope you enjoyed this as much as I.

Another digital doodle

My doodle .... 

This is something i doodled ! 

again...

and I decided that it looked nothing like it did in my head, so I decided to not scan it in and just make it digital, I decided to take what I saw in my head and re create it in a digital style ..

It looks like this at the moment, also the file went corrupt on the 'Frosted trees' digital environment I started... I can only work on that piece at college, so I shall try and keep it updated ( less regularly) :( 

Looks more like this in my head !

Asda Pillow cases

Fancy...yes fancy the website where everything is well over-priced but full of awesome things.

Me and my bestest friend in the whole world are partners but we saw this and it was $75 USD D:

Because we're cool and efficient (skint students) we decided to make ours for under a tenner :)

This is our Custom version which was a fun experience and an interesting task to have accomplished :)



Thanks for looking

Please comment and give us more ideas for future projects :)!

Cheers.

Environmental (not so) W.I.P

Started, But file currupted.

So yesterday I had a memory stick malfunction and couldn't get the Frosty Trees environment I was working on.

This concept I've decided to go with the the heavy snow/fog I realise it is in it's early stages, However this has become a work in progress post for the Frosty Trees environment therefore it shall be updated. ( This was my intention but I can not retrieve the file maybe next christmas I will start again.)

It's very one point perspective, as I love the feeling that I am a camera just using my lenses to take photos :3

I got distracted from drawing earlier.

Learning how to mod.

Lunchtime today: 

Devastation! ...(overly dramatic) Earlier today i was drawing a frosted trees landscape, I unfortunately got distracted by the idea of having my genuine bed in The Sims 3... After making the bed I saved the PSD file to my memory stick...    More unfortunate events lead to the PSD did not save properly and has been corrupted :( 

I must wait until tomorrow to WIP my latest drawing.

Made my bed !

So me and my Best friend Kieren, have started to make mods for The Sims 3. I got TSR Workshop got a game model for scale and made my bed.

Kieren is currently working on a hobbit door for our middle earth themed mod!

Please check out kierengab.blogspot.co.uk for his blog!

Thank you.

50's ?

Very 50's


Un- refined female 2d to digital doodles

   

      

Just sharing these sketches i did today as i was going for a 50's/Pin-up girl style and this is the spur of my doodles.

Life Drawing!!

When working on a canvas!

 

This is my drawing using foreshortening chalks and charcoal.

I used complimentary colours as they're attractive and instantly make this piece stand out. 

Oh my! Religious pose ??

I really need to finish this but i really love the block colour as it makes me thing of tribal art and fabric.

War scene, all done with the same man .... 
i need more of those poses as i would like
it to be more cluttered !!!!


Ah well. Hope you visually enjoyed my work.

Sharing is caring.

Doodles.

 (That i must share :))

 This is a doodle that i am rather fond of and i feel that i should put it on my blog just for show, and also i haven't got much from 2013 yet, so it's a tad blank.

So this is an interpretation of disney's Tarzan. i know drawing is; 

Pencil and rubber +What you want to see x inspiration = Output, and i feel that i should share just how i see Jane from Tarzan.

( As this is just the doodle i also digitally re-did her so i could have a 'semi' interesting background.)

 And this is Jane.

                            No name!!

However, this little fella is a doodle i felt was too adorable to just leave in my book >.<

 He may look like a geek but a assure you he's harmless.

Personally i think he's adorable. He unfortunately has no name.

When digitally drawing this young chap, i felt his arms were a tad blunt and bland .. so i did what anyone would do and gave them something to do. Although i'm not perfect at drawing hands, the more i do the better i shall get!.

Doodling Dooley.

Stacey Dooley, not that i have anything wrong with her but you know that feeling you get when a bad song gets played on the radio too much and you end up knowing all the words?? 

Well with Stacey Dooley, she seem's to be on the TV too much and practically in every weird 'Secret world/Behind closed doors' type documentations ever .

So while i was in my Lounge listening to a programme where Miss Dooley was testing the children of today in environments and work places. It was rather weird but it led to me doodling Dooley.  

But because there's an awkward silence when people are watching TV i held up my sketch pad to my partner and  this is what he got. (Below)

     

I later took this and again Photoshopped it so it had colour.!! 

 I know that it looks quite different to the original sketch but i guess that's what happens in the process of re doodling :)

Plus i had to draw more hands!!  Now she looks like she has more attitude as well. 

Doodle of another person form.

Before.

After.

I feel that while i was re- doing this doodle it took more of a  serious tone.

The smile slipped away and he turned into a little footballer kid.

This now reminds me of 1 of my siblings and makes me smile lots ..

I feel like he should be now called Joshua.

:D

Thank you, for looking at my blog

Chelle.

Blue and Orange

Drawing in Photoshop.

(If you squint/ stand well back. it looks cool !)

This is a piece of work that i did not so long ago. Still from this year (2013) but i just wanted to share it :)  i know that it isn't perfect and refined, but what is perfect and what is refined? this just had a split second of life and beauty so i wanted to share it. :) 

THANKYOU

Hello There.

Hello There.

Right, 

Hello there.

My name is Michelle Marie Wilkinson. I was born in 1994 and have been exploring the world ever since, but i still haven't gotten all i need from it!!

I started college in September of 2010, i wanted to do a Level 3 course in Art. In November of 2010 i felt that art was much to broad a subject and it had become a ridiculous thing to put your whole time and effort into.... that's only what i thought.

So then i thought maybe it wasn't just the subject maybe its just me? maybe its my art style? maybe i liked other areas that included art but wasn't down the same road as Picasso, Cezanne or Monet.

This is my Favorite Cezanne piece as it makes me think about a sky with no birds trees with no breeze a town with scarse life.
Why i see this picture this way? Because im actually really entertained by the art of life and the ways i can recreate it.


I transferred courses in that November to a Games Development course at level 3 that took 2 years to complete. i learnt how to write long essays about hardware, software, developers, development, stories, research and much much more. so coming from a rather creative background it was a shock to my systems... i wanted to know more and i wanted to learn more about the subject i was studying.
i got left behind in the group sometimes as i just didn't understand what they where all talking about!! but that didn't stop me completing and coming out with the MMM grades! then after the September of 2012 led me to; yet again another wrong decision.

I started a Visual Communications qualification at the start of September 2012- i then came to realise that i had walked into a course that wanted nothing to do with the art i did and the animation i was interested in.... 
And i said to myself

So after having no worries i found the games art FDA this November of 2012 and which i am currently loving ! i feel like i can learn a lot and still show my skills, to become a credit to this group of such talented individuals.
Thus not losing/forgetting the skills from my previous course and instead developing them to a standard of which i can become  24 hour games art/ animation industry member.






Less formal side of my blog,

This is me
<---------- im quite normal really
i have 2 eyes a nose a mouth 2 ears and ...so on you get the point :)

im rather harmless and am rather happy ... almost all the time !

(when i concentrate i make stupid faces)




My love for traditional/digital art  and animation has captivated me since i was ... well since i can remember  and now i have taken it to the next level by being on this FDA Games Art course. I feel that i can do the best of the best of the best on this course but i really do understand that it's not just about what i do on my course its about how dedicated i am to my area .. how outstanding my work can be, my extra pieces are the ones that count the most.

Thank you for your time!  
I hope you enjoyed my (long) short Introduction.
