This is my test on doing photo manipulation. I took three images and put them together to make one image. The foreground, the Background and the castle.

This was a drawing i did to practice. This took me a while and properly is my extent of drawing capabilities. i was going to add arms but by the time i had done the wings and body i decided not to because i felt it looked better without them.
Ok so i tried to draw my character. I don't look great but its a rough idea to what i would like my character to look like in the long run. The first image is of the character as a whole with his hood up. I want to do another drawing with the hood down but i don't know how difficult i will find it. These are just rough sketches
This next image is a close up to the characters face. now i don't exactly know how to draw the effect i want on the right side of the face. basically his face will sort of be smoke over the skeleton rather then actually skin.

So i practiced on some one and two point perspectives of a street. The one point perspective is a little more detailed then the two point perspective. However they are both just sketches and just basic shaping to what  street would look like

Now i had to make a perspective view of my vending machine that has to be drawn in Photoshop and colored in. My first attempt was not very good.

Then i started drawing another perspective view because i felt the last one did not come along very well. I draw the next view from a more 3D angle and decided on where the light source would come from.

This is an extremely basic design to help determine the sizes of the machine and a angle from each viewpoint.
This is a basic mood board i mind to try and help me think of ideas for my vending machine. If you have seen my vending machine you will realize that a couple of ideas on my vending machine actually reference to this.
Ok so like i said with the life drawing i was unable to upload photos of my work till now. So these are my concept designs i made for my vending machine. First image is a front view, but i kind of realized that i added a 3D effect so its kind of a perspective/front view of the vending machine.

Ok so the next image is of the side view of the vending machine. Now i only draw one side view of the vending machine because overall the machine is fairly symmetrical and another side view is not exactly needed to show more of the machine.

Now the next one is the rear/back view of the vending machine. Now there is not really much to say about the back of the machine except that there is a removal plate to access the center core of the machine and repair any damages that are made or just a replacement of the reactor. I have also drew faint lines showing the core reactor but they are only faint to help imagine what it would look like.

Now the last drawing is a top down view of the vending machine. Not really much to say about this accept that it helps to identify that there is only a leg on the back of the machine and not one coming at the front.

Life Drawings

So this was drawn two weeks ago for life drawing. I took the picture with my phone and was unable to get the images off my phone because it wouldn't work. Anyways was got to draw Gordon posing in different positions and this was the last pose he did and held it for i think 30 minutes. This is the result of a 30 minute drawing by me.

First Vending Machine Design

So i was thinking of vending machine designs and came up with this basic shape. More detail will be put into the front such as a coin inserted and maybe even a hand scanner to help represent how futurist the vending machine is supposed to be. The Eight Claw looking things will be arms that teleport an item into the center of them. The claws/arms will be able to move to suit the shape of the item that is being ordered. The way you take your item is simply putting your hand between the claws and grabbing the item that has now appeared in the center.

In this next image i have an Item in the center that has been "teleported" or created in the center. The arms have suited themselves to fit the shape easier so it will be less hassle for the customer to simply grab the item and leave.
 The Top white part actually floats above and may actually slowly spin around as it hovers there while the machine is not in use. As i said i have not yet added details such as a way to order item. However on the left and right of the machine are vents for heat to escape.

Hello and welcome to my Blog. I am Steven Christopher and this blog is to post all the wonderful things i get up to in university. From Drawing Naked people to concept designing a vending machine to creating marvelous 3D digital Graphics. Over a large period of time i will be posting a lot of different things and maybe even projects i'm getting up too in my spare time.

Hope you Enjoy your stay on my blog ¬_¬
