TARDIS

As a massive Dr. Who fan, I thought it was about time I tried my hand at some free hand drawing of some of the most memorable things. This is what I came up with after a couple of hours of solid drawing. I'm still learning about shading, but I think this turned out pretty well.

The photo does it little justice, it picked up all of the flaws and not much of the good.

Progression in free hand drawing.

Image
Hi, all! I've been waiting to do this post for about a week now and am very excited. I am not ashamed to say that this is my best free hand portrait so far, and looking back when i first started ten months ago, and very proud to display this for everyone to see. This post will show a progression of the steps I took to complete my latest character portrait as well as a comparison to what I did ten months ago and in between. Thanks for reading/looking! Okay, so it turns out that I have somehow misplaced the photos that I took that displayed the complete process, but I have managed to find a couple, including the final, completed piece. I can tell you however, that I simply began by dividing the page into quarters then took measurements from the picture and scaled them up. I mostly just alternated between a 2B and 6B pencil. To get the finishing touches, my wife went out and bought a lead pencil and a knead-able eraser, both of which are absolutely amazing and es...

Camera Angles in Resident Evil Remastered

Image
Resident Evil Remastered(2002, Capcom) is unique not only in the fact that it was one of the first zombie horror games to come to console, but also in the way it used its cameras. Capcom comprises their camera work in Resident Evil from fixed angles. These fixed angles allow for a more purposeful and immersive design and fits in with the horror genre style of gameplay perfectly. The creators of the game were able to place these cameras in such a way as to facilitate jump scares by hiding enemies and encounters, establishing immersive shots for narrative and dictating what the player could see. This gave the creators a large amount of control over how the game was to be played. Enhancing the part of horror in this early gen game was amplified most by the camera work. By establishing angles that convey different meanings (i.e. undershot for a powerful look on a character or a wide/long shot for an encroaching horde) the creators of Resident Evil were able to convey exactly what th...

Creating a map

Image
This exercise got me really excited, there’s nothing more I enjoy than world building and I’ve been building a world in my spare time over the past year, so what better excuse than to draw a map for it (albeit one of my first so excuse the poor quality). This map of Korlath is representative of the races within, where they dwell and how the region is split. Korlath is split into four main areas: Kingdom of Roldem, ruled by humans in the South East, The Clanhold Mountains in the North held by Dwarves, The Fey Forest in the East where the elves live and the Barren Wastelands to the North West where no life exists. Running from the Forgotten Sea in the West and through the majority of the Region is the life sustaining River Numenora. With these main areas in mind I began to design my map, adding smaller villages and medium towns in between the larger capitals, all connected by roads.
