Ink drawing of a living room which has been shaded in various tones of grey via alcohol markers. From only a few feet off the ground, the viewer sits a short distance from a simple coffee table, across which is a long couch. In the background, we can see an open doorway, as well as a flatscreen TV hanging on a different wall.

An ink drawing that depicts stairs at a high school. Light pours in through a window at the top of the stairs. Shading is achieved via hatching and alcohol markers.

it's a slow process, but we're learning
A square ink drawing of a cemetery. A path weaves through a grassy field and up a simple stone staircase. Various paths are lined with low stone walls. Grave stones dot the landscape. Along the horizon, many coniferous trees silhouette the sky.

Progress shots:
A pencil sketch of the man in the original post. The pencil sketch of the man now has basic inking, i.e., basic line work and filled blacks. The final drawing of the man without any post-processing filters. Texture and shading are achieved via hatching. Highlights in the hair are added via white ink and paint.

Still accumulating ink experience. I'm drawing lots of people, lots of trees, lots of shaded spheres. Definitely not where I want to be yet, but the only way I'll level up is by persistently hiking outside of my comfort zone.
An ink drawing of the upper half of a man in a dark suit jacket. The man looks off camera to his left. His arms would be crossed if not for his right hand, which is raised to lightly touch his neck.

process shots:
The original sketch of the woman, done in mechanical pencil. The next step in process, wherein the lines have been inked in pen and any graphite has been erased. The next step in the process, wherein certain lines have increased weight and any solid blacks have been filled. The final drawing of the woman without any post-processing, which now has hatching in ink (for shadows and textures of the clothing) and smooth graphite patches (for shading on the skin).

I've been experimenting with traditional inking as of late, and: 1. inking is SO COOL, but 2. inking is SO HARD, especially 3. when you make your original sketch wayyy too small.
an ink drawing of a woman. she sits aiming towards the left and looks over her shoulder to the right while holding a camera in her left hand. she wears baggy clothes, although her jacket is open enough to reveal her bra and her left shoulder. her straight hair is chin-length and black.

I was on art assets for the first 24 hours, and achieved a "stop motion" vibe by building a simple scene in 3D using Blender, and then rendering out high-res 2D images. I also designed our primary UI elements (notebook interface, text bubbles). A fellow jammer did a good job with the stock icons!
The main menu, which reads "The trading window opens soon. Buy! Sell! Max your profits! Press enter to play." In the background, a computer and notebook sit on a desk in a dimly-lit room. A notebook with interactive elements reads, "My stonks. I want to buy 1 stocks of computer." Then a phone number is listed for a "stock guy" and there's a button to call them. In a dimly-lit room, a computer with glowing screen sits on a desk beside a black notebook with many post-it notes sticking out. In the window, a shadowy figure looms. Another view of the room. In the corner, a mysterious shadowy figure hides between two house plants. On a table sits a TV and a radio.

Shaders + Particle Systems = 🔥🔥🔥

I really like how this effect turned out AND already have ideas on how I'd improve on this implementation in the future!

More shader learning -- this time with caustics! ✨

Left = six octaves of hyperbolic-like waves
Right = sum of four Gerstner waves

Inspired by Chapter 2 of "GPU Gems". This aesthetically approximates caustics, but I look forward to learning more accurate methods in the future.

🌊 I'm diving into learning SHADERS! 🌊

Left = sum of four sines, w/ power constant 2.2
Right = sum of four Gerstner waves
(otherwise all parameters, lighting, and noise maps identical)

I followed the logic outlined in Chapter 1 of "GPU Gems" and am happy with the results!
