Drawing Skills over Easter



After having interviews some of you have discovered that YOU MUST demonstrate drawing skills and have some sort of PORTFOLIO of sketches, explored media, reference drawings for buildings, environments and characters etc. Basically.... all the stuff I have been telling you that you would need & lets face it .... if you are successful & get into Uni .... this is after all .... part of what you will be doing for the next 3 YEARS! Soooooooo .... for the next few weeks AND over the Easter Hols - you need to build on what you can already do - use reference drawings to get you started - go out & take photographs - mess around with mixed media - take photocopies from books & enlarge them - scan / filter them in Photoshop. Don't forget to make it a variety of subjects - you may be better @ buildings than people?

The more you practice .... the better you will get .... the more you will get into it .... yr gonna need to, to get into this industry! Goodluck!

The Need 4 Visual Examples!

Today you got a rather long list of things to do - have done - or are still working on - I will post the image from the board later - but you ALL know what you need to do by Easter!
Those of you following me will have feedback - the rest of you - well what can I say - slackers!
This BLOG acts as a reference for production work & professional journal, which provides a lot of referencing across 4 Units with me - so if you DON't keep this up-to-date - your work WILL be referred!
Those of you that are doing this - well done - those who I can see just need to add 'VISUAL' references to support what you are talking about - as well as your Team Logo, Game Name logo, storyboard, plot/brainstorm - digital photos/textures/reference images & Max work - ALL need to be up-loaded - it also makes a massive difference to the look of the BLOG and those of you going to Uni, or have interviews, this is a really good way to show off your work!
