The average human face, made from 30 faces.

First source image for a wolf

Here is my first image, This is me in the middle of shaping the face and after first attempt at the eyes

Here it is, chicken scratches and all

I plan to go further with this, a body etc but I will complete the face first.  Above you can see I am trying to get proportions correct, it seems a wolf head is flatter than a humans. On the eyes they seem to have extra black on the outside, but thats to allow run over when I’m doing the fur, how I’m going to do that photorealisticly I’m not sure.

I downloaded windows 7 and it works great, I hated vista so kept with XP but I have loved the windows 7 beta so far, so easy to use! hasn’t annoyed me once yet. I had a bit of a problem with the soundcard driver, but the sound works so its ok I guess. I also learnt how to partition which was a horrible task, but I’ll be better prepared next time. I have everything working on it now except for Delphi 7 which is a pity, looks like I’m lucky I decided to dual boot with XP to be safe. I have not been doing much in the way of art as of late, except for some coursework, But my next exam is soon then there should be none until June / July. Windows 7 looks really nice, all the effects are great don’t slow the system at all and of course a hell of a lot faster than vista, seems like XP performance wise. Current tid-bit on my partitions. 1 is 100% fragmented the other 0% fragmented, Random. My steam games work too, all of them even the beast of Gmod has worked without any problems. Expect more art in about a couple of weeks when this exam is over, my CW wont take too long I’m sure I can fit in drawing too.

For photo editing I use Photoshop, but a free program very similar is Paint.net (funnily enough that’s the site too). GIMP is another well known one, but is not as user friendly, yet has more advanced features.

For screencapture, I spent weeks trying to find a good one, most where horrible or had a stupid watermark, I found a nice free open source one called camstudio. No watermark and if you install the seperate download of codec’s you get a very good quality of screen capture.
Free office programs, none other than open office. It’s mostly the same as microsoft office, only with the great price tag of FREE.
I’m yet to find some good free video editing software.

For my friend, guardianwolf, you had a problem with a wirelessly networked scanner? I have a wireless all-in-one printer and if it messes up I just unplug the router, plug it in again and so long as your computer is the only one on the network it should be fine.

On a side not I have cam-studio working perfectly now just needed to configure correctly, but I cant get the codecs to work, they install but don’t appear.

My current view's stats

Well, there they are, a bit of a fail, but it will get better *cough* zero 2 days running, never had zero before :/

Unfinished try at clothes, Pretty good

Now, I think this is brilliant progress, look at this work here compared to my previous work. The improvement is astonishing. My previous photoshop skills must be getting implemented now, all I did was some titles before for signatures on forums and that, didn’t think my pictures would turn out this great yet ^^.

Same as above, just with lineart on top

I liked this too, dunno why was trying to keep away from lines / cartoon style.

It looks like the material has too many folds in it in my opinion

Heres a photo of a man in a rather ugly hoodie,

No were near as many folds as some of the pictures in the tutorial I saw, I’ll experiment in the next section of my picture. I’ll have another go with the screen capture, it didn’t work last time, some stupid error >.<

First pictures drawn with graphics tablet

I’ll start brand new stuff once I have these coloured. Also expect some videos soon, I found some nice screen capture software and will upload them to youtube.

I like the picture on the right the most, thats more me than the tutorial I used for the first one and I decided to put in more detail myself.

First drawing is nasty...

some random sketches to try to get head right

A single sketch of the head

First Couple of Figure drawings

The one on the left is from a tutorial website which i copied, The one on the right was applying the technique and I tried to draw a similar character only slightly more detailed and in a different pose.

Below is in an entirely new position using similar techniques, I’ll have a better go at this cross-legged pose another time I’m sure I can do better and those shoulder were way to wide

Without the tutorial in a completely new pose. Not bad for a completely different position

Well thats all my current goes, all comments are appreciated on this blog, whether good or bad I’ll try to keep updating every few days, oh and For the graphics tablet I’m getting, I’m getting the Wacom Bamboo Fun Medium (who knew fun would be the top of the bamboo line? )
