Doodle 13 - White Wings

So I've been away for a while but that is only because I'm working really hard at work. People think making video games is easy... Well ladies and gents, it is NOT! There are a lot of deadlines and things to fix. I love my job though, as an FX artist but one thing I dislike doing is Water FX. I've been doing them for the past 3months and I'm tired of it... I want to say that It will all be over soon, but in reality it is never over haha.

Oh and I bought some art books. Well just 2. I shouldn't spoil myself that much haha. I'm a huge Final Fantasy fan hence why I bought "Dawn: Worlds Of Final Fantasy" and I really love the artwork of the game Darksiders so I got "The Art of Darksiders". I also bought myself the, "Bastion Ultimate Collectors Bundle" yeah when i like something I must have something like... a memorabilia haha.

The way many people learn to draw or get better at drawing is by copying masters and of course practicing. So I believe that I've learned a lot from Yoshitaka Amano (FF) but I feel there is always room to learn something new or to revisit old techniques. I would love to draw in the style of "Hand Painted" or at least improve. I love WOW, Darksiders, and even Bastion. They all have great art styles. All I have to do is practice and practice and oh!! Practice some more =) have to do it more than once to really do it by heart.
 

In this doodle I tried a different color sticky note. Used same techniques and tools as usual. I used a WHITE color pencil and a WHITE charcoal pencil though. I wanted to see how far I can take the white. I'm not sure what this is yet hahaha but I do like the white in it. Kind of reminds me of a fighter ship.

During the making of this doodle I noticed that my favorite pen to draw with was running out of ink. It sucks but y'know what, you must keep drawing. RIP Awesome Pen. I will find another to replace you.
