Study materials for schoolers project

Here is one of the projects which I was doing during summer for the Finnish Newspapers Association. There is three different sets for the classes 1-6. One for 1-2, second 3-4 and 5-6. Every set has its own dog character :3 Here you'll see the cover sheets, one page for each and my illustrations for them, I will upload all the pages later in my Portfolio site.

Koitan muistaa myös Suomen lukijoita välillä suomen kielellä! Eli nyt voin näyttää yhden viime kesänä tehdyistä töistäni Sanomalehtien Liitolle. Suunnittelin ja toteutin ulkoasut 1-6 luokkalaisille "tehtäväpasseiksi", joissa joka luokkaryhmällä on oma hahmonsa. Sain suunnitella hahmot itse, mikä oli kivaa! Eri eläinlajien pyörittelyn jälkeen päädyin koiriin, sillä ala-astelaisten on helppo samaistua niihin, monilla ehkä on oma koira, ja erilaisten hahmojen keksiminen onnistuu helposti. Tässä kansilehdet, yhdet sivut ja kuvitukset, laitan myöhemmin portfoliooni kaikki tehtäväsivutkin.

Stories from my Sketchbook

Little Fox animation

 Eli sain kuin sainkin lyhyen animaationi valmiiksi! En osannut vielä tehdä "play" painiketta, joten animaatio pyörähtää käyntiin heti linkkiä painettua, jolloin jos nettiyhteytesi ei ole täydellinen, saattaa animaatio hieman pätkiä ekalla pyörityskerralla.

Tämä on oikeastaan Ensimmäinen 'kunnon' animaatio minkä olen tehnyt, ensimmäistä kertaa avasin Flashin, ja itse työskentelyaikaa oli vain noin viikko - kahden viikon Flashin harjoittelun jälkeen. Joten, se ei tosiaan ole täydellinen taidonnäytteeni, mutta ainakin hauska, ja hauska tehdä, ja opin paljon! Ensi kerralla sitten vielä paremmin, oli nimittäin aika innostavaa päästä vihdoinkin animoimaan muutenkin kuin gif kokeiluja. Ja ihan layerit animointiohjelmassa? Nice! Enhän oikeastaan käyttänyt itse Flashia hahmojen animointiin koska piirsin ne frame-by-frame tekniikalla ihan photoshopissa, mutta muuten Flash oli kätevä työkalu animaation kasaamiseen ja taustoihin.
Taustalla soivan musiikin soitti tätini, iso kiitos hänelle myös!

There it is! I might still fix it later but, today was the deadline to get it ready to show. If you have bad internet connection it might lag when you open it for the first time since it starts to play it right away and downloads it at the same time .. I didn't know how to make a 'play' for it ..

Anyway, short animation done for a school project, "Animated Christmas card for our school Metropolia" 
It's actually my first finished 'bigger' animation, and my first time using flash, AND we had only like one week time to actually work on this after 2 weeks of learning to use the program. Now I'm done with the excuses, it's not perfect but at least it was fun to do and more fun to learn! Next time I'll be wiser. The music is played by my aunt, many thanks for her too!

Fox animation

Lyhyen animaation väkertäminen jatkuu.. frame-by-frame ! Harmi vain että tähän on annettu aikaa enää vain vaivainen viikko, joten ei ehdi tekemään ihan sellaista jälkeä ja lopputulosta kuin haluaisi. Saas nähdä millainen tästä loppupeleissä syntyy, ohjelman käyttöäkin vasta opettelen.

Still working on my short frame-by-frame animation! Too bad we have only like one week time to finish this, so you can't really do it just the way you would like to because of time. We'll see what I can do, I'm still learning to use the programs for it.

Animation course

Animaatiokurssia varten tehty luonnos kuvakäsikirjoitus mitä mahdollisesti olisin tekemässä.

My new character

Just a few days and my school will continue again...!


Here is my late night inspiration for a character which came into my mind and I had to draw it! Need to draw more of her ~

 http://linzu.deviantart.com/art/Feirin-476913100

Aand I had a raffle on my Deviantart page where I asked my watchers to give me their character and two random non living things. Then I raffled the character, and the things. So I ended up drawing a character for Pyttis, with a mug and cottoncandy! And I added some wind too.

 When my school starts, let's see if I get out my sketch book again ..

 

Painting - for me!

I got it ready! I needed a painting for my home decoration - so I made the painting!
I've been decorating with black & white & little bit of yellow. Also, I really like detailed lineart works of flowers etc, so I wanted to try add that style in it.
I'll show you this later again with frames and on my wall!

I might still change and fix something, since I might get critical before putting it on my wall. :P It's not easy to do a painting for your own wall for decoration, it can be the hardest thing to do. But I had a ready idea in my mind so it helped a lot.

1000 watchers on DeviantArt

Yesterday I hit 1000 watchers on DeviantArt so I draw this :) It's my own character called Lin, and also like me in animal form. You can read more about it on Deviantart link below if you are interested.

It was really enjoyable drawing on this, even though I continued on 5am. : ))
- DeviantArt link for more info and thank you message -


For the 1000 watchers, I'm having there an Art Raffle, welcome to join !

Okay that's for the Deviantart stuff. My vacation is getting closer! Here is some sketches ..

Finished new work - Unseen

I had this topic on DeviantArt, where I asked people to give me their character for a drawing which is not a dog / cat / human. Even though I had more than enough work things to draw and other things, I was just eager to draw something different and for someone. I have this little 'rule' for me, day time - is for important work drawings, but night time I can draw what I want. :3 so, I've already put this on my DeviantArt and Facebook art page but here it is for here too. The character is Berneri's Jokull.


early WIP

And the final version

On DeviantArt in bigger size

What I have noticed is, drawing is so much easier and nicer when you decide your color palette Before drawing. For here too, I was thinking about the colors what I want to draw, looking for winter photographs, color palettes, etc. Then when I knew the colors, it was just easier to start. Some of you this might be like - of course - but for me, I haven't usually done it. But yeah, it's so much fun to draw when you get inspiration from colors.



Now I should get some sleep!

"Passion for dogs" illustration competition

Time flies!
Now I have only the last week left of my internship. As my work for them will get published, I can start to show them here also. I already have in line some commissions and things to draw after this week, but that's of course a good thing. :)

But what I can show you here is an illustration which I did for a Finnish illustration competition about "passion for dogs". Too bad I was really busy while joining on this, but I'm glad at least I was able to join and try! You can see the finalist of the competition from here (you may have to like the page first) > https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.857032884310231.1073741830.199578256722367&type=1

Speedpaint part 2

Still busy with my work related drawings, but here is one late night speedpaint ~

Pet portraits

Hey hey!

I've been trying to update this layout here but I haven't had time to continue it yet, that's why it still looks.. like this.

Anyway I've been very busy with drawing works, commissions, drawing works which I can not put on internet yet, and other things too. Especially after around one month I will need to finish one big and not so easy drawing every week, totally four of them. That will be exciting, busy, and fun.

What I can show you is these commissioned pet portraits!

Here is my relative's Lori and Tipsu

 

And Nirelleth's James

For more info of those commissions, you can go and check them from my Deviantart;
