2 Point Perspective Vehicle

Our homework was to draw a 2 point perspective vehicle. 

I collected a few reference images for ideas, focusing on the style of Steampunk/victorian vehicles. 

Following the rules of 2 point perspective, I sketched this out in my sketchbook and then shaded it in with copic markers. I believe the proportions to be fairly accurate, however if I had more time I would have edited it in photoshop and made it look nicer.

2 Point Perspective

This is my 2 point perspective sci fi room concept. I tried to keep it as simple as possible, with classic room elements that everyone is familiar with but with added Sci-Fi tweaks such as the robotic looking door and modern chair, with a metal window and flooring.

Life Drawing

In this session of life drawing we tried out different techniques like drawing with both hands at once and then two long poses. 

Lava Creature

Moodboard/Research 

Some images I discovered of lava-inspired creatures and animals that will help me in choosing a final design.

My initial sketch was a demon like creature, that would have lava flowing through its skin/on the rock he was sitting on.

However, in my final design, I decided to completely change the face to that of another demon (still sticking to the demon concept) and add wings. I wanted it to be grey as the face was inspired by a gargoyle, so it would be a lava-statue.

Improvements I could have added or changed: Instead of painting the lava by hand, to speed up the process and make it look more realistic I should have used an image of lava and then painted over it. Also, I could have improved the shading and not made it look so dark, because by adding more contrast the creature would look much more 3D. 

Gun Design

I started off researching what some typical futuristic gun designs would look like. There was a large variety of styles I looked at, but most were clean and precise regardless of style.

My finished piece is a combination of the images I researched, but with my own style. I like the shape of it, as it looks very futuristic, however I wasn't sure how to make it look more realistic with the colour and it doesn't look like it's made from metal. That would be my one critical evaluation of this piece, as it's lacking a realistic look.

Elf and Dwarf

Following the concept of Human anatomy, Dwarves use 4 heads, and elves use 9/10. Using these guidelines I designed these two characters.


I like the way I have drawn them, and I am happy with their designs, however, I believe I got the proportions for the dwarf incorrect, and I feel like I could have given him a set of dwarf armor instead of just clothing, as the armor would have given an insight into dwarf culture more and it would have made the character more interesting to look at. The elf looks unique and unusual, but I could have improved the details of the dress and made them more earthly. 

Character Silhouettes

First I researched some images on google to give me inspiration on how to draw distinguished silhouettes.

This is how I started with my silhouettes. I used inspiration from some images of crustaceans, and also horned creatures. 

I then added some shading detail to give the silhouettes more definition and form. The first is a peacock/crustacean creature. The second is between a crab and a man, and the third is inspired by deep sea crustacean's with a devil's horned head.

In the colouring stage, I could have improved the colour scheme for each character and added some more detail/mix of colours to the final product.
