Betty's Ordered Mess...

[BettyHime]

Hi, I've been around CA for some time now and I must say I have been slacking with any posting. but hopefully that will change now.

Please check out my newer stuff, it's much better.

A little bit about myself! I'm learning to be an animator, although i'm veering more towards the traditional side of it, i.e design and backgrounds :P I like to sketch in pen and I love watercolour.

I know my anatomy isn't great right now, but I'm working to improve that :d

Thanks for looking!

i like the watercolour/inks but my actual favourite would be the towerblood image, the colours are really vibrant and attractive to the eye.

[MARMENTIDO]

i like the sketches youre draw is fluent

[Kfeeras]

don't stop with those watercolors they're hard to master but insanely beautiful

cheers

[Maria David]

Nice to see some traditional stuff. :) My favourite is the last picture, so pretty colors!

You know that actually came about because I had some paint left over and I hate wasting paint, so I dipped my fingers in it and made marks on a page, and then went over it in markers.... you coud say it was a happy accident :D

So some sketches of life drawing and a concep sketch I did.

Ooh~ I love your environments most of all.


I'd love to see some of your anatomy studies add more to your stylized drawings, too. The Teen Challenge one looks as if it were a bit rushed compared to the anatomy of your studies.

Keep it up~ Your sketchbook is looking great so far~

So, I've recently started work on the third year films. I'm currently doing concept art etc.
here's one of the pirate girly, I like her, I only wish that my director hadn't decided to make her jamaican.

[BettyHime]

Concept work for my 3rd year final major project.

[maximunki]

Love the pen sketches and the fish characters! :)

[dannE-B]

Oh noooo! i thought i had escaped? ah well now you know where i am may aswell be friends.

That last piece has a great atmosphere, feels old, which i presume is the intention, NICE!

Seeyou in uni, .......or will you?

[andres333]

Loving your style

[BettyHime]

maximuki thanks :D

Danny-b Yep that was my intention, as it goes with the old people theme :p Perhaps I should remake my sketchbook like you an ben did but i don't even have two pages yet :p

Andres Thank you

I really don't do enough of my own concepts in my spare time.

Here's a few designs that i quite like, again for uni but i doubt anything is gonna end up being used :p

[BettyHime]

New resolution I'm gonna try posting on here every three days, thats gonna be my goal, but if it only happens once a week thats a start :p

Here's some chair shilouettes//ideas that i did today at uni ^^

[Bendragon]

Cool layout. Hows the film going anyway?

[BettyHime]

Not too bad :p trying to finish up the animatic carry on with concepts blah blah blah, Ya know how it is. Spending all my spare time at home trawling through the interwebs looking for reference images.

[BettyHime]

A fanart for tf2, I'm also planning on using it as a spray. Crits apreaciated.

[BettyHime]

Working on a concept layout for an animation today. I had to change my composition half way through because my director said so :p

Tell me what you think... what could be improved?

[BettyHime]

So here's my self portrait that i attempted yesterday. I think where I went wrong with this one was my initial sketch! Oh well maybe it'll be better next time, especially if i get a better mirror!

[BettyHime]

Just some randome concepts I've been working on.

[Meaisín]

Hello Betty! Greetings from a fellow [1st Year] Student Representative. Francis here. Came across your profile and wanted to say hello. Love this website - does a great job of providing masses of inspiration and aspiration, while at the same time quashing my work and reminding me how much I have to do!

I really like your environmental sketches here. Those watercolours and washes look like fantastic pages. Nice layouts as well. The self-portrait is admirable, and I can confirm it looks like you :). I wanted to get one done that day but time slipped away from me. Trying to learn to digitally paint a portrait atm; tough, but exciting and addictive. Do you do a lot of digital work?

See you soon in the studio!

[BettyHime]

Don't quite know what I was thinking, a half hour job before I went to bed :p
The robots have no design whatsoever but hey! What does it matter if they topple over :p

[dierat]

Love the chair designs, they have such character! Your self-portrait looks great too; my only crit is that it's a bit dark. It feels like even your highlights are in the middle value range, and you could make the piece pop more if you were covering the full value range. Keep posting and keep up the good work! ;)

[Janos]

Hi!

PM sand to you. Hope we will be able to work together. We do have completely different styles, but I think that if you are really willing to work on this one together, we can make some great stuff.
Love your whimsical style, and your portrait is great as well. I actually like the darkness, but I think your characters, and their anatomy need more work. The style you draw them in is stylised, I know, but doesn't look as special and appealing as your other stuff. The fishcharacters are great! :)

Also the grandpa with the two guns: Awsome.

Janos

[phoenicorn]

lovieng the style. your traditional work is beautiful. keep it up

[BettyHime]

@Janos

I'd love to team up :D

I think my main problem is I like to draw to hyper real, I need to take a step back a bit sometimes and think simple :p

@ phoenicorn Thanks!


Here's a poster I did recently for the TF2 Competition

[Janos]

Love it! I generally love poster art... :)

[BettyHime]

An update long over due. I have been concentrating on other things and have neglected my sketchbook a little. So here's a little update.

[BettyHime]

Something I've been working on for an hour or 2 every evening. Its a prison or war bunkery thing I guess... Not to happy with the trees... but they are hard to do!! Gonna have to experiemnt more with that. Gonna have a go at colour next I think. If you have any advice for me that would be great :)

[Asatira]

Nice sketchbook. It's an older piece, but I like the environment design with all the chairs. Feels very solid. Of the zoo pieces, love the owls, the secretary bird, and the anteater.

[BettyHime]

Pirate lady, having a hard time showing tension in her body though :( Just for fun! (it so isn't me...)

@Asatira Thanks those room concepts are some of the favourite things I have done.

[icarus2912]

You got some really nice stuff here. Really diggin the new ones and I recognised Annecy immediatly so thumbs up for those as well.
For the pirate lady swinging, perhaps if you put more of a curve (the hips thrust formard, feet follow) into the character it'll feel more like swinging.
Keep it up.
