Andy - Art School Journey

[andysawesomemovies]

A couple more gestures and a flat-color study. Tried experimenting with the GSL method (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRb-XHg9g24&t=0s) already looking a lot better

[andysawesomemovies]

And here we have some quick upper body studies. These came out a bit rushed; did them right before bed.

[andysawesomemovies]

More Upper-Bod studies; this time w/ the Female Anatomy

[andysawesomemovies]

Some more Upper Body and shading Practice. Glad I was able to get some solid practice in tonight, I've been so busy these past couple of weeks obtaining my driver's license that my schedule got quite a bit off track!

[andysawesomemovies]

More upper-bod practice; it was quite fun experimenting with more blocky shapes (though it turned out rather stiff) and muscley figures!

[andysawesomemovies]

Some muscle & hand practice from this week. Gonna be honest, wasn't feeling too motivated this week; had some difficulty determining how the forearm muscles should twist.

[andysawesomemovies]

Some lower body and environment studies! I took some inspiration from Kaz_0's studies to examine the framing, lighting, and color! It could use improvement, but it was a nice change of pace!

More practice from this week

Good stuff, keep at it!

I think mrs invincible’s pelvis cube is off, it looks to me its tilted with the front facing side looking higher up.

I see you are a fan of terror trains XD I always found them kind of uncanny

Cheers!

[andysawesomemovies]

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to keep an eye on the pelvis positions! As for the 'terror trains', (lol) I'll admit it can be a bit uncanny at times, but I've always found the model work and storytelling quite compelling

[andysawesomemovies]

Some loose practice today; a little rough I admit, the Character copy turned out rather scrawny and I forgot to add a separate layer for the muscle trace, but it was nice to loosen up a bit

[andysawesomemovies]

Some more character copies & muscle trace practice; I tried selecting colors as close as possible without directly color-picking them. I think some of the proportions might be a wee bit off (like Miko's Legs) but otherwise results are satisfactory.

[andysawesomemovies]

-And that about wraps up this week's practice (w/ Foot copies)

[andysawesomemovies]

A project I started but will be redoing as the perspective, proportions, and layer organization proved unsatisfactory; definitely need to not rush the process on my second attempt. I'm thinking about having more 'free weeks' like these instead of sticking strickly to the schedule to give myself and my art skills some breathing room.

[andysawesomemovies]

Hello all, I'm back at it again! I started off with a simple anatomy from memory; albeit a bit rough; the proportions are a tad wonky, especially the head, it's way too big. Will definitely brush up w/ some refs this week.

[andysawesomemovies]

Some more anatomy practice w/ shading

[andysawesomemovies]

A Superhero esc body; will definitely practice more on hands this week

[andysawesomemovies]

Some Character design work. I like the pose on the final character, though not quite as polished as I would've liked. I definitely need to work on my schedule to prioritize my art.

Hi Andy, been great to see your progression and see a lot of development in your line work! I see you like a lot of dynamic poses for your characters, I've always found this hard. Drawing gestures with FORCE, as shown in this video, helped me a lot. Thought I would share, hopefully you will gain value from it too. Cheers, and keep on drawing.

Thanks for the feedback! I'll be sure to check it out!
