Day 59 - Old Miner

A light value on black sketch, which started out looking a bit rasta like, then underwent a kind of transformation as I worked into it, eventually looking like one of many old photos you might dig up at a charity shop of a miner or gold rush geezer. The filter is a little over the top for the old picture look, but does manage to disguise the shoddiness of today's attempt somewhat. He freaks me out.

Day 58 - Troll

Again, another struggling commute experience, but a last minute silhouette moment led to this. It needs a lot more working into, and the leg that's up on his knee looks like its broken, but here's what you get.

Day 57 - Hypnotist

It's a bit of a bland one today. I'd tried and abandoned 4 other drawings on the train ride home, and this one stuck, due mainly to the fact that I was running out of time and a parents evening event at my daughter's school was fast approaching. I like the high neck style shirts that Victorians would wear, so he got one of those and quickly became kind of a drawing room hypnotist gentleman. Oh - and good news - my daughter hasn't been expelled or anything. It is kindergarten after all.

Day 56 - Goosed

A strange mix of C3PO, cosplay and the expression of someone being goosed. The goosing won the title spot.

Day 55 - African male bust

Back to Zbrush for the first time in a long while, and with a dodgy stylus to boot. Frustrations of performing an action to then have Zbrush continue the motion after you've lifted the stylus from the wacom tablet. Annoying. Still, I enjoyed the exercise. I didn't use any reference for this, so please excuse inaccuracies in the facial anatomy - this is my brain's amalgamation of a male face from many countries in Africa.

Also, this is my first attempt at sculpting in Zbrush without using symmetry mode. Definitely added to the challenge, but kept me more in tune with moving around the piece as I worked, more as I would a traditional sculpt.

Day 54 - Pilot

Doodle doodle done.

Day 53 - Goggles On

Focus goggles attached as I head into the next few weeks.
