Midterms and beyond

Heyo, springbreak is over, midterms went well. My computer broke down some days ago and I finally got it reformatted. It's fresh and sparkly(1/2) like new! So here are some Midterm works:

Another Noah's Ark concept for adv. perspective. Took it to a more "finished" look.
But honestly, I just wanted to draw a giant robot. (You may also notice the new banner!)

Another Noah's Ark Concept. Noah's on the bird, gathering and leading some animals the right way with one of his sons.

Another Noah's Ark (yeah, we had to do a lot). The Dragon wants to get on board but Noah's like "No, son!"...

Illustration 2 Midterm project. A portrait in watercolors. I did this as an album cover. (Which I'm also doing for her (A singer in Iceland), but another one). I went and retouched it a bit in Photoshop to make it more sparkly(2/2).




Like some of you know I'm freelancing for On The Rocks Games on the iPhone RPG: Legion of Amon. We've had quite the publicity on the web, try google Legion of Amon and you'll see my horrible speed-paints everywhere. They've posted some concept art on the site so I'll post some here too (since they cropped them awkwardly(?) to fit the iPhone ratio).

How were your springbreaks?

Sketchbook

Some sketches from my sketchbook...

These two are collab sketches me, Ed, Emerson and Kelly did during a chill-n-sketch at Borders on Saturday. We started drawings something for couple of minutes, then we rotated our sketchbooks and we continued with the one we got. These two are from my sketchbook, you're gonna have to go to their blogs to see theirs, there should be links over there--->

And some sketches from figure drawing workshop..





UGH Midterms this week. Then springbreak! yay.

ILL2&CF3

Heyo!

As promised, my work from Illustration 2 (watercolor) and Clothed Figure 3! Enjoy.

These are my first watercolor paintings since I was like 12. Watercolor can be tricky, but you sort of get hang of it soon. Anyways, our first homework was just daylight vs. indoor light, nothing crazy.

An in-class assignment. We went to the prop room and picked out our object of choice (mine being this old, old camera bag), then we were supposed to paint it, with emphasis on textures. As you can see there's bunch of textures there, but mostly its just a jumbled mess. Looks alright from far away though, haha.

Another in-class assignment. Our next assignment will be a portrait, so we were supposed to practice painting a head. I painted this out of my head. My generic male head, heh.

Alright! Our first watercolor illustration! The assignment was to create a design for a shopping bag for a store. I didn't know which store to do, so I did this for my friends store, Krakk, on Skólavörðustíg back home. It's a store that sells designs by independent artists/designers. Really cool. ( I might be designing something for them in the future).



Alright, here are bunch of my clothed figure drawings from the first few weeks, organized by pose duration:

5 minute drawings

10 minute drawings

15 minute drawings

That's all for now!

Sketches and random stuff

Posting some more adv. perspective sketches. First two's theme was Noah's Ark. The second pair was Geisha themed..



Here below is some random stuff:

While I was sketching out the layout for one of the drawings from last post I got frustrated really fast and starting doing stuff like this. Then I got myself together and managed to do something presentable...
I found this while looking through crap on my flash drive. It's a character from my digital imaging class. We were supposed to be designing a cute dinosaur character for a childrens book, and I did this because it was funny. I did the assignment properly afterwards though. Because I'm such a GOOD STUDENT!!11!1


Made a new brush in photoshop, was testing it out...


Another assignment for digital imaging. We were supposed to distort the head, but I took it a little bit further....


Gahh some clothed figure drawings coming up, along with my first watercolor illustration :0 stay tuuuned. Goodnight. (Band plays, credit rolls)

Samurai

First homework for Advanced Perspective class. The topic was samurai. These are not finished illustrations, but more compositional sketches...

Sneak Peaks

Hey everyone,

I'm back in San Francisco after a nice holiday break in Iceland. While I was at home I completed a prototype version of the boardgame me and my friends are making, and got various freelance projects as well. Since most of these project are yet to be published I will only show you small previews of some of the stuff I've been working on.

But as the new semester starts I'll be posting some of my school work as well, so check in soon!

Later,

Pétur.

Final Week!

Alright guys, a big upload!

It's the last week of the semester and I'm looking forward for the break. I've got some new stuff, including final projects, so let's get to it:

This is my Illustration 1 Final. The project was a Circus poster. Enjoy!
12x17 in, Digital.


And a high-resolution one for a better look ;)


The Circus Illustration Process for those interested...
(edit: for some reason Blogspot shrinked the file, it's probably too big)

This is my two week in-class final for Figure Painting class.
16x20 in, Oil on Canvas Board.

A figure painting homework. I don't like it, except for the shoes...
24x36 in (it's huge!), Oil on Canvas Board.


Our last in-class drawing from Heads & Hands class.
18x24 in, Black & White Charcoal on Toned Paper.

And finally some sketches I did at a coffee house.


That's it for now!

Sketchoff!

Last night me, Ed and Kelly had a sketch-off!
The limit on the first one was 20 minutes and the theme was vampires! Then we decided 20 minutes was way too short, so our next one was 45 mins and the theme for that was werewolves!

So here are my sloppy attempts, I need to get into digital more....

Toned Paper

More drawings from Heads and Hands class. Black and White charcoal on toned paper...

Editorial

Here's my finished editorial illustration. 10 3/4 x 8 in, Gouache on Ill. Board. Sorry for bad photo quality, my camera is dying :(

A little in-class exercise I liked. We were exploring a so-called "pull-off" technique. 4 x 6 in, Gouache on Ill. Board.
