Art for Practice 3

So I have done some more art for practising various techniques and improving.
The first two were for me to practice form and lighting. I am happy with both of them but neither are in a finished state.
The third one was for me to try doing something that Anthony Jones had done in my own way.
The fourth was for me to try out using different brushes, practice form, and try and recreate the concept artist Matt Betteker's style. I am happy with how it turned out.
I will continue to practice art in a variety of different ways as I can see myself improving in each new piece.

Art for Practice 2

This painting initially started as an entire dragon but when I couldn't decide on a pose I liked it just became the neck and head. I also decided to practice lava with this dragon. I had intended for the dragon to look more scary at first but then the form of a smile came out of it and I went with it to end up with this.

Art for Practice 1

So throughout this year of uni I have learnt many techniques and skill that have improved my art. However, I have only recently started practising these on my own. I was so busy focusing on the other aspects of the course and the set projects for this section that I have not found time or motivation to practice concept art.
So I have finally got round to practising some techniques and my art skills in general. Here are a few of the pieces I have done to practice.

This robot was to practice lighting and try out rim lighting which I have never done before.

I made this robot dinosaur because I wanted to practice form and character concepts.

This one was for me to play around with dramatic lighting and try making some fire particles. I also ended up practising posing with the character in the piece.

This one was for me to practice making rocks. I am happy with the grey rock but not the mossy one. I think it is too blurry and soft to be moss/lichen on a rock.
