Lectures and Things

I was at a computer graphics conference last week (which is what the poster was for) which was... well, a bit boring, in all honesty.  While there were some interesting papers presented, the conference itself was a lot like sitting in a lecture all day and lectures can often be a bit dull, even when the subject matter itself is interesting.  This also wasn't helped by the fact that some of the speakers weren't really all that good at giving talks.  But I went prepared and had my trusty sketchbook with me to keep me entertained.

This was the view looking up from the registration desk, as I spent one uneventful afternoon helping out with registration.

And this was drawn after spending a bit of time watching the trees blowing in the wind outside of the building that the conference was being held in.

Anyway, that is all for the moment.

Cats Are Awesome

Yes, yes they are.Just a silly little thing I decided to sketch, and I don't think there's anything more that needs to be said about that.

Did some more perspective practice - this time a rendition of my apartment in one-point perspective. Didn't really feel I needed to get all fancy with two-point for my humble abode.
So, there it is, in all its cluttered glory. Drawing the perspective grid was a bit tedious, but turned out ok, over all.

Not A Yak

Once more, back to the drawing board... Starting today off with another two-point perspective piece.
This one was drawn in my small sketchbook (which I don't use often) and was faster than my previous perspective drawing, partly since there are fewer details. I ended up fudging things a bit around the vanishing points and the subway cars are too short (or too tall), meaning I should have spent a bit more time planning things out and/or establishing a scale before randomly drawing stuff. Oh well - practice!

For the next one, I decided to try drawing something else I don't draw very often: animals. And since I like cats I drew, well, a cat - not a yak.
The smaller one (not to scale) was closer to what I was actually going for.

The last drawing for today is of Mal Vandor (only his alias), the main villain from a project that I refer to as "the Kyoujo RPG".
This is, I think, only the second time I've actually drawn this character and I followed the original character design fairly closely, at least for this drawing. The main pose is a bit awkward - I think the spear should probably be held closer to his body and there's still something wrong with the back leg (I think), though it's better than the first attempt.

Anyway, that's all for now.
