Lighting Tests

I'm busy doing a Schoolism course on lighting by Robert Kondo and Dice Tsutsumi. I'd highly recommend it to anyone interested in understanding lighting in a production design environment.

These are some tests I did taking a still life study in a neutral diffused lighting setup to one with a light present.

Time lapse of a sketchbook drawing

I constructed this pretty precarious rig for my iPhone that allowed me to film a time lapse of one of my Inktober drawings. The rig was made from an old lamp stand and a bulldog clip, among other things.

For the launch of Star Wars 001, a number of blank variant copies were sent to a local comic shop here in Cape Town. I managed to get my grubby paws on one and came up with this chap.
