Mike's Sketchbook

[Amita12]

Hello all, I'm Mike and I'm an animation student at the Art Institute :) .

I'm currently in the midst of finals week, so all I've got to start this sketchbook is a painting I did for a deviantArt contest (http://news.deviantart.com/article/100452/). The goal was to create a piece that depicted the end of the world (for you, but most chose fire and brimstone) and I see the end of the world for me being the loss of my child (if I had one).

Once finals are out of the way, I'll post more stuff!

After a looooong time... I've finally returned :) . But, I've been busy with Art school... poowey :\ .

Here's a charcoal drawing I've recently completed. It's a value/anatomy study. I also wanted to brush up on my charcoal...

This one is a kind of perspective on society where technology is quickly progressing and we, the robots, are starting to get out of touch with nature.

And finally...
