Hey guys!

Welcome to a new exciting year! I hope you all had an awesome christmas as well as new years eve!

I spend the last weeks finishing up my new Online Portfolio. It went online on January 1st. The results you can see here: http://sandrapinkertportfolio.weebly.com/

Besides that I finished my current contract with Pyrrhic Studios and started my new job hunt. I'm already in contact with some possible clients.

That said it wasn't much private drawing going on in January.

Here the one sketchbook page I managed between all that jazz :D

Noah's Art Camp

18.11.2013:

Did a color study of one of Kazuo Ogas paintings. And afterwards tried to apply it as best as I could to the sketch I did a couple of days ago. It looks awful but only through trying I can get better. So here it is!

Sketches

03.06.2013:

Hey guys! So my birthday is finally over and family and friends are back home. So time for drawing again. My interview went really well and the only thing left now is setting up the contract. I'm so excited about this project :D

The game is called "Noble" and is in the pre production stage right know. We are trying to get a full prototype done until August 2013 and then present it to the world through kickstarter! The guys at Pyrrhic Studios are really great and I'm looking forward to working with them.

My job is to do all the assets for the prototype. Such as characters, animations, effects, concepts, promo art, backgrounds, etc. So it won't get boring with so many different things to attend to! :D

But for know all I do will be under NDA. So I will update the blog later on, when the prototype is released. So it won't be that much going on here for a while. See yah!

Studies and imaginative work

4.02.2013:

I fell ill over the weekend, so no drawings or paintings done then :/
I'm not really fit now, but motivated enough to do at least a little bit :3

First of a photo study, concentration on getting the shapes, positions and proportions right. Also no
color picking.

This one could have been a great exercise, but I wasn't in the right mind for it :/ Will do it again. Right.

Wanted to do some direct paintings. So I choose main color and hopped right in :3 Used only 3 brushes, two of them are basic brushes. Like the mood of it.

Also from imagination. Tried to think about light and shadow...nahh...not that good. But it's a start, right? :)

Little mermaid

23.01.2013:

And this was day two on the road to my first finished personal illustration. Today I didn't achieve that much. But it's going onwards :) I fixed some proportion and anatomy issues. Especially in case of the hands. And started to add the "magic". In this case there has to happen a lot more refinement. But every step onward is one step closer to my goal. So see yah tomorrow :)
