Thank you!. I tried your recommendations; Now, i'll wait 24 hrs 
Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.3k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.4k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.2k

Hello Everyone!! I had a couple of hard weeks in my workplace ( a project and team switch in my job) 
but I'm keep on going donig my best to keep improving : ).
TERM 1
Week 7 and 8 Perspective
I finally finished the assignments for the last week in the first term. Apart of my situtations, honestly, it was challenging for me to finish the 2 point vanishing point perspective assignment; despite of that I decided to continue the 30 days challenge from Marc's channel; It helped me to keep my skills.
Feelings:
- In the assignment, I maybe chose a building a bit hard to draw for my current skills, but at the end, It helped me to understand and improve some skills that I guess I had to learn.
- I was starting to get a little bored because I was spending more time in the environment study assignment than drawing characters (apparently I like character drawing more
) . Despite I continued doing the 2 minutes gesture drawing for all these days, honestly I don't feel the improvement in my observation skills (on capturing the rythm); I may be study better the way I do this exercise.
Despite I like Dragon Ball so much and Akira toriyama's style, this is the first time I draw Goku
Still pending some term 1 assignments that I want to finish (like environments and characters studies) but I think I will move forward to the next term and keep advancing.
Gesture drawing (2min) exercise this week.
30 days challenge excercises
Perspective assignment - Street corner Buidling - Pavon Theatre - Madrid, Spain
Character study
At the end I was not able to change my photo profile : /. I maybe have to resign myself to be the orange square : (
Hope you are all good!. Thank you !!
Maybe the pic u used was too big?
Nice studies btw!
It's all good practice. I think the building looks great. I think our adverse with environments just has to do with not being used to it. I've found that as I do more of them, it becomes more fun and interesting to do them. Though I also still have a preference for characters.
Goku is spot on! I love Akira's style.
At least it's a sexy orange square!
Good work on studies!
I've already tried different size pic 
. Thank you!!
Yes, I think your are right;, the more you do the better you get. I've never drawn a building this way, using two vanihisng points; I'll try more environment pictures to study and improve : ).
Drawing Goku was fun, Maybe I'll try another DBZ character .
Thank you !!
It sounds better like this 
Nice work on the gesture drawings. They look pretty good. The 30-day challenge exercises have some pretty interesting shapes. I like the line work on the perspective street assignment. The Goku study is pretty good.
Thank you @gregorya , Marc's challenges helps me to improve, I'll try to do more in the following weeks
16 days later
Opening Term 2 with new stuff to learn; I'm keeping on going doing my best to improve my skills.
TERM 2
Week 1 and a half Photoshop and Self portrait
These two weeks I tried to mix excercises from the first and the second week, but I was able to finish only the assignments for the first one (The ones related with photoshop for production); I also keep doing some pen control excercises especially with circles.
Feelings:
- I felt relieved on changing the kind of exercises these days. By doing the Photoshop assignments I did some review of graphic design fundamentals and some Photoshop tools I hadn't used for a while. It is important to keep in mind the basics. I felt a little rusty designing a cover again.
- To keep my routine to improve my pen control and abstraction skills, I took volumes excercises recommended by Marc on week two. These kind of shapes get less harder to do each time.
- I felt strange drawing me myself watching in the mirror; It's the first time I did so. It was interesting and challenging.
- I tried to finish a character and an environment study, but are still work in progress; I'll share the studies later.
I found challenging sometimes to keep motivated on falling in a routine of exercises. I see that It's important to change from time to time the routine and improvise some days.
Volumes excercises
A Robot Character
A Game Box Example
** Self portrait **
Hope you are all good !!. Thank you!!!
eyy these look awesome!
That box looks really pro! Not sure how you managed to stay still to make that drawing, when I did that exercice I just took a photo. Looks good though! Seems you are getting good practice with the overall digital tools.
Thank you @daceronine , I had a good time remembering how to use digital tools. For self-portrait, I moved a big mirror at home and put it next to my laptop and tried to keep the same position (drawing position was the most confortable ); anyway, It felt strange, I never tried it before.
Nice robot character. It looks pretty good on the game box. Nice work on the self-portrait.

Hello again everyone!. Long second week for me that seemed a month but still keep on going for sure.
TERM 2
Week 2 Anatomy 1 and Photoshop
Last weeks I focused so much on practicing volumes and tried to get familiar with face structure that Marc explained on the video class.
Feelings:
- For me is hard accomplish the assignments and It's becoming easier to get stuck because of that, maybe I should pay more attention to my weekly practice.
- Practicing volumes and overlapping helps a lot to improve your skills.
- It's fun to draw faces but I'm getting used to making sketches without finalizing linearts; I guess I should solve this.
- In transition exercises I found the three tools useful (smudge, soft and hard brush) so I guess I should practice with the three of them in my drawings. For me It's easier to use the soft brush but I guess that it depends of the case.
- I keep doing character studies. I'll try to keep on doing this
Gesture drawing (2min) exercise this week.
Photoshop Exercices - B
Photoshop Exercices - B
Volumes in perspective
Some faces with lineart
Artist: Artgerm - Character Study
Hope you are all OK!!. Enjoy this summer ! Thank you!!!
Wow, you are doing great! That's a very beautiful self-portrait you made there!
and I really like your lineart overall, seems you make very precise strokes and good, purposeful use of line weight, it makes your character studies and volume practice pleasing to look at.
I did notice you bend your distal interfalangeal joints when holding your stylus (based on what I see on your self-portrat XD - it just makes me wonder if you're not clenching it too hard, I mean, your line work is really nice so it must work well for you, but just be careful not to injure yourself from repetitive hand stress motions
cheers!
Oy, very nice practices! linearts are really nice and pretty!
I have the same trouble. There are many sketches to work on.
Nice work on the exercises and face practices.
Nice work on the line art study. It's almost hard to tell which character study is which.
3 months later
Hello again everyone!. Long summer...long weeks with no posting : /, but still working on
TERM 2
Week 3 Anatomy 1 and Portrait
It is true that last weeks I continued practicing but I get stucked on the same week 3 topic: heads, so I didn't move on the course.
Feelings:
- Despite I get stucked I kept practicing volumes and overlapping to improve my skills.
- At least I don't think my work is getting any worse.
- I found harder to create faces from my imagination rather than copy (well, I guess It is normal)
- Still strugling with proportions and hard for me to apply it on drawing faces.
- Still making sketches without finalizing linearts.
- It is true that summer and work itself made me to slow me down in the process, but I was regular on practicing.
Honestly, I feel sometimes that suggestions on the weekly study may be bored. I'll try to these excercises with some other related to it.
Pen Control Exercises
Face parts
Faces from imagination
Portrait**strong text**
Hope you enjoied the summer ! Thank you!!!
