The Legion (THE SEQUEL)


Thierry from Imaginism and others critiqued this piece since then so I changed things people unanimously agreed needed improvement.

Tutoring Outline


Hey, first years and second years.

I have officially become a tutor for 1st year's Intro to Dimensional Drawing and 2nd year's Visual Development: Layout and Painting.

For the 10 hours of tutoring time, I will be discussing primarily on fundamental knowledge on how to approach a painting and theory that transcends media choice and "secret techniques", as every artist will express themselves in different ways. What is discussed will include concept, composition, colour and lighting theory, perspective, and potentially a lot more depending on what you want to know.

Digital painting will be emphasized as the easiest means to show what I will discuss but unfortunately due to circumstances I do not have a portable graphics tablet with me. If anybody wants to use digital media, feel free to bring a tablet with you. I will be showing my process work and never-before-seen paintings and studies I have done. I will also be open to critique any work you may have that you want to show me. My goal is for everyone to come out with newfound knowledge for painting and I assure nobody is going to be left empty-handed.

Thank you! Feel free to add me on Facebook and check me out at Deviantart as well to see more works!

EDIT: Confusing at some bits. I meant digital painting will be emphasized but if a tablet is not available, I can still teach the fundamentals with traditional media.

The Legion

Done a month ago.

I will also be registering as a tutor for year 1 and year 2 painting/layout courses. Right now I'm on a medical leave for at least a week but I will indicate when my form gets accepted. I am glad to tutor anybody on what I know and I'm hoping to not disappoint anybody!

Kowloon Walled City

Daily sketch (matte painting) of Kowloon Walled City, a city in Hong Kong that was literally a chaotic labyrinth built and "designed" by citizens before the government demolished it.

Luigi


Recently, I've been trying to use very subdued colours so for this daily (and Anime North print), I decided to go for the opposite.

I don't like how this turned out since it looks really fruity but it's a lesson, I suppose.

The Armoury

Speed painting inspired by Roboto-Kun and Tobias Kwan, both Sheridan graduates (AKA Alex Chow bootleg Made in China rip-off version). I see this type of thing done all the time from other Sheridan students so I figured WHY NOT? I really love this lighting anyways.

If only I was even close to their level...

Like Wizard, Like Pet

Special thanks to Pete Emslie for critiquing my previous version and making it 292389328989 times better. Unfortunately I tried hard to not to copy him but ended up cutting it close anyways...

Fanart


Guess where these characters appeared (without looking on my Deviantart cough cough).

Been stuck in my secret laboratory attempting to fuse the way I draw people in life (cafes, subways), animation projects, and the way I painted. I felt there was too wide of a gap, especially when I force ideal proportions for my painted figures.

"The Ravener" Sam Hung Ip

For my drama assignment about a man who lost everything in a Mahjong game and is out for revenge. Original, I know.

I tried to imitate Ashley Wood's style in the Metal Gear Solid comics but I don't think I have the same looseness as him. Maybe that's why he's Ashley Wood and I'm not...

I played a game


It's called "How many saturated colours can I balance at once".

I don't think I want to play this game again...

EDIT: Changed a few things after a few critiques from my instructor.

Placeholder Painting


Until I get my other one working, I'm going to use this for my painting assignment 1. It relieves me from the pressure of the deadline at least. Gotta love speed painting...
