Gesture drawings at a friend's place

Stephanie Stine (http://storyduke.blogspot.com/) invited some people over to her house for an artistic meetup.
She put an online figure drawing site up on her HDTV and we all sketched from it.

These are all about 1 minute each. I went back and put ground planes on some of these.









The last one I doodled at home with reference. It's just okay.

Pose practice

About a month ago I did a few drawings from live action video and photo reference. I drew them as turtles, nyuk nyuk. I have since kind of abandoned the dark ink-like PS brush that I used for these. Currently trying a brush set at 50% opacity for a more pencil-y, less harsh effect. Some of these are iffy, yeah. I moved on to drawing other stuff and forgot about doing more of these... I ought to be more consistent with what I practice drawing...

More stuff I did during lectures (Spring 2012)






PMC Halloween 2012

Drew some costumed students. Traditional pencil and paper feels really good... a lot better than the slippery surface of a tablet PC (and Cintiq, too, I'm assuming.)

These drawings are a lot lighter in real life, but I upped the contrast just to make it pop. I felt that other stuff I uploaded in the past just looked too light. I'm sure there are mistakes in these drawings, and I didn't draw any ground planes... just felt like putting these out and not fussing too much.






I think Jack Frost's staff isn't accurate. The only ref. I had on hand was the costumed person (Chris Bak) in front of me. This was a pretty good costume, actually.

PMC Film Festival 2012 eyecatches


PMC Film Fest 2012 eyecatches from Tung Nguyen on Vimeo.

I did these transitions for the Pencil Mileage Club Film Festival 2012.
Obviously inspired by Gurren Lagann.
Oh yeah, I made that logo in the corner.

I think we had some great submissions this year. Thanks to Kevin Lam for putting all the films together, and the rest of the PMC officers for their contributions during the year. Ginger Ale (the girl in red) design by James Lien.

Drawn by Chance: "Tall Lanky Hybrid Animals"

Since that blog (http://drawnbychance.blogspot.com/) hasn't updated yet, I figured I'd doodle something real quick in my sketchbook and throw it up. I had been burning to do one on time, but I tend to always be more careful and take more time when I'm drawing on my tablet PC, so I didn't get around to it. Well, this time it was in my sketchbook during class and it took only a few minutes.

Korra again

EDIT: I redrew it. Felt like I overworked it the first time.












Original post:




Looking at this, I think I'd like to redraw the whole thing again... hah hah.

Sketchbook stuff

Composition studies from life, drawings of colleagues





Stuff from months ago

^ The title says "Stuff from months ago." Can anyone read that font? Har har

Some of these I kinda like. Some are just alright.






These are from a CDA Sunday life drawing session. Hadn't stepped foot in the place for almost a year.  Everyone there seemed to be applying what they learned from classes, which was nice.
