Extra credit included this time, too.

Observation to Imagination worksheet #1 (materials)
I'm getting worn out on form, so today we're skipping ahead and doing the first worksheet for section 5: materials.
Assignment: Gather a collection of photos that represent a single idea and combine them into a single document. This collage is called a ‘mood board’. (Make 10.)
Making mood boards, like doing thumbnails, color scripts, or character silhouettes, is one of those things I was never taught to do. Such exercises were passed over by my studio art classes as being too games-specific and by my game design classes as too art-specific. Now they occupy a weird space in my head. I understand their function, but somehow I still feel like I need permission to do them myself.
In hindsight, though, that's really what my tumblrs are all about. On one hand, tumblr is a better format for not being restricted to still images and linking everything back to its original source. On the other, it's nice to have an easily-distributable image that can be absorbed at a glance. I'll stick with tumblr for my game projects, but as an exercise in thinking about atmosphere, these were a refreshing break from the drawing grind.

Form Construction
Like so many nights, this one started off with a crap drawing of an imaginary musclebro.
But then this happened...*
Are all those years modeling...finally paying off?
Hmm, this looks promising. It's like drawing contours, but without the need for those pesky curved lines. I suddenly have the urge to go back over ALL my shit drawings...and a few photos, too.
