School Sketches #3

July 2023

3/5

May 21, 2022 - August 9, 2022

Peacock drawing I did in really detailed layers because the plan was to plasma cut this out of aluminum sheets and then assemble them with spacers in between so it'd be a cool 3D peacock. Never ended up happening and also I think it would have been impossible/taken 1000 hours because I made the tail so detailed 💀

Hard drive painting I did over the winter break. Was fun

AAM Inktober Day 1: Galaxy

October 1, 2024

Here's the beginning of my inktober escapades. All of the prompts are from my uni's art club. I was planning on using both this prompt list and the official one (for certain prompts where I need more to get my brain going), but the official prompt list is kinda ass this year.

Challenging myself to only use my one brush pen that i've never used before (along with no sketching beforehand) for all the drawings

This one was pretty fast, but then the stars were really annoying and took a decent amt of time. I like how they turned out, though.

Gonna post them all separately because I have things to say about each separate one 😜😝

This idea came from Halloween day 2020, and I brainstormed possible ideas Oct/Nov 2020. This whole endeavor was inspired by seeing articulated finger extensions on youtube.

This took a lot of time. There were quite a lot of lulls, but days upon days of work went into this. I didn't start taking progress pictures until ~October 2021, so a lot of the process just lives in my head.

By far the most difficult part of the project was figuring out the template for the crow mask itself. I knew of the whole wrap a body part in clingwrap and then duct tape to get a template, which I did around my head to get the inner headpiece, but that only works for fitted things.

I did a whole bunch of tomfoolery over gr10 winter break to get around this. I make like a paper mockup of my head, and then I built off of it with paper tubes to get general shape and structure of the crow mask down. This took so long omfg. I wish I'd taken a picture. I made a huge mess of the house for weeks over the break as I slaved over this stupid shite. Once i'd gotten it,,, it was just like,,,, kinda rudimentarily figuring out what size the foam pieces would be 😭

It worked out eventually, but man was it annoying 💀

I don't think I worked on it much after that until sept/oct 2021. Beginning of october was the final rush because I really wanted it done for the halloween.

When gluing together the pieces, I didn't have any barge contact cement so it was a struggle. Initially I was using a contact cement, but it didn't work well with the EVA foam, and I found that I was able to just pull the glue off once it'd become tacky (wouldn't even damage the foam - was just laying on top of it). So I used a lot of superglue and... other types of glue I can't remember to force em together.

Used a dremel tool and foam clay to smoothen the seams and add more details.

Magnets are embedded in the jaw for movement and to hold the jaw in place. Initially, I wanted the lower jaw to move up and down as I move my jaw, but I never figured out a way to get the torque to achieve that (and it was too late to go down that rabbit hole once i'd realised that the jaw wasn't working as I'd hoped).

Painting was a couple layers of mod podge followed by acrylic paint and then a couple sealing coats of varnish.

Teeth were made out of peachy-coloured polymer clay and glued into the mouth after it was painted. They were used to mould the foam clay gums prior to painting.

Then it was done!

Animation Meme | Soldier, Poet, King by The Oh Hellos

More walk cycles. Wanted to do it for the soldier, poet, king animation meme, but never finished it.

I remember being unhappy with these, but they're pretty solid
