Jack's Fables

I’ll be posting my work from over this year, hopefully showing how my skills have grown and changed as the year has progressed 😄

22 July

It’s super fun to come up with these cinematic scenes. I’ve selected 4 of them and have colour roughed them (which I’ll post when I’ve finalised them).

I’ve been taking some online courses and pushing my skills even further, this ultimately means that personal work output is slow. I’m also working more in my retail job whilst applying for roles in the animation industry, just as of yet - no bites!

I’m figuring out how to navigate this. Whilst I do, here’s a MapCrunch study I did! Figuring out textures and experimenting with painting buildings

I didn’t know that Plein Air April was a thing until a week in and thought it was a bit too late for me to join in... but I keep seeing everyone’s pieces and feel so inspired so decided to do my own from a photo I took on a walk... here it is!

It’s not an exact replica of the image I took but I wanted to convey the sunlight gleaming off the water surface.

I did the water about 7 times before I thought it was acceptable. Still not 100% happy but I like it!

Ok so I know I need to move on from the heads, but I enjoy them so much!
