Break time

Last week in illustration class, Ned showed us pictures of concept artists, which kinda got me thinking. He said that people who usually do rough sketchers are generally brilliant concept artists, but lack the ability to refine their work into finished pieces. On the other hand, people who can illustrate pieces with high techincal skills sometimes lack the substance of a concept sketch artist.

Hrm. I wonder which is better?

I usually can draw pretty decent concepts, but my finished works are always lacking techinically -__- I hope I won't be like this for the rest of my career. Although concept artists get pretty decent pay- $250 per image, x that by 7+ images for an advert storyboard KACHING $$$. Not bad ey? Although the advertising ones Ned showed us in class seem unfufilling...

Here's something I drew for illustration class. I might post all my work this semester. Gotta get recognised somehow!

TASK : Draw a massive cactus

If I didn't do this the day before I prob could've fixed up my shading a bit more ^^"

Goal - Must refine technique. I'd rather people be in awe of something I poured my heart into rather then a 5 min sketch.

Still got a lonnnnnng way to go *sigh*
