My Stuff: Sketch and Paint!

Ciao ragazzi!

Here's a little freebie thing I've been working on. By "freebie", I mean I won't get credit in a class for it--did it just for fun! And by "working on", I mean it took hardly any time at all.

So a WHILE ago, I did a doodle for my sister because she said she wanted to be a princess. Mind you, this is WELL before Princess and the Frog had even been announced--so any similarities are HIGHLY coincidental....(...and by "coincidental", I mean "Disney probably snuck into my room, stole my sketchbook, made copies and then quickly returned it all while I was sleeping in the middle of the night"....) I'll let it slide, THIS time.

Here's the sketch and the painted final:




Honestly, I LOVE the way it turned out. It was one of the first times I'd ever painted with Photoshop, let alone the first time I've even ever scanned any of my work. I think I should start working on some others. I have quite a few. :)

Assignment #3 - Planar Shapes, Revolve, Extrude and Loft

Ciao Ragazzi!

Come state?

This assignment had multiple parts. So bear with me. :)

1) First, we had to create a 2D planar shape from a logo of our choice. I chose the logo from my dad's non-profit organization, the Titan's Academic and Athletic Program. Here's a link to the site. I used curves to make the shape plane and here's what I have:




The first is the actual logo. The second is my planar copy from Maya.

2) Next, we revolved a curve. I chose to create a lamp from this reference. I wanted an object with a lot of divots and details so the model looked slightly impressive even though it was extremely easy to create. Here's what I got:




3) We then had to extrude a 2D shape along a path. My extrusion created a slide. I cheated a little and didn't closed my shape, but the process was the same and I like the way it turned out. I added the little stepladder on the side and made a playground slide. I might start adding more to this, texture/light it and make a whole playground playscape. What do you think?





4) Lastly, we had to create some sort of loft shape. I was having a little bit of a hard time thinking up an object I wanted to create with a loft, so I decided to go abstract. The base shape is a flower I drew with the pencil tool in Maya, and here's what I got:
