Riven - League of Legends

Riven from League of Legends.
I am not familiar with LoL, nor its characters, but I like swords, so there.
Done for my sketch exchange at Polykarbon.

Jolteon

Another Jolteon. I used a fox as the base model, as I think all Eevee's are fairly fox-like.
About 30 minutes.

Birthday sketch: Royal Guard

Royal Guard birthday sketch for a friend.
I decided not to use the original character as reference, as I don't think he looks manly enough. :|
About an hour in PSCS5

Tree color practice

Something a little bit different.
I'm working on my color theory, and I think it's starting to click, so my wife asked me to spend 20 minutes and use nothing but a hard brush to depict a sakura tree on a grassy hill with a stream in the distance. The left one was my first attempt, thinking about color theory. The second one is take two, having a slightly better grasp of color theory.

Steve Huston lecture 7

More Steve Huston studies. Connections and a bit of color theory.
The red sphere was added in Photoshop. Everything else is pencil on paper.
