Portrait rough sketch of the day!

P.S I'm really liking this style and prolly spent a lot of time making it so much better!

[Apath]

Finally done with this one! Though there are still parts of it that I'm still nto satisfied with, I'm quite certain that Im gonna be stickin with this style and go deeper into it a lot more.

You are getting better Ivan! Don't forget to work on your translucent character entry. Looking forward to seeing your submission.

uhh Ivan I love this one maybe to tiny nose? it would be pretty difficult for there to breath through it hahah

What kinda of reference are you using? Or maybe just from imagination? Sorry for the question but I'm kinda curious

[Apath]

Hallo Chiara! ^-^ You are right about the nose I had to tone down the side of her nose because it's capturing unwanted attention so I decided do just leave the nostrils in there. Regarding the reference, I did use reference but mostly for the hair only. I usually just look for a photo that interest me and capture the things that made me interested in that photo and do the rest myself. I mostly look for them on pinterest.

[chiara.arcidiaco]

Thanks for the answer Ivan!! Is that I noticed some kinda of idealized proportion of the face and I though that you was looking for replicating another artist (not that it's not good actually is a good way to study ).

Mayyybe my advice could be to study more 1 to 1 photo reference to understand how the volumes works, but I don't know if it could be useful to you because I actually like your works just like this hahah

I just feel that some of your faces miss some bone/muscle structure sometimes. Hope that this doesn't offend you haha but you seem to be really in tune with this topic so, I hope that you will be our master portrait artist of the forum one day For this reason I allowed myself for being harsh, hope that this could help you

And of course I allow you to be harsh to me too hahah this evil comments usually helps me a lot

[Apath]

I actually prefer this kind of comments! Don't worry about me being offended or whatnot and I'm also not a fan of sugar coating and such. So feel free to say ANY feedback because I believe that it'll only push me forward to do better. As for the art style, I'm heavily inspired by Rossdraws, Wlop, and KNKL so I'm trying to incorporate some bits and pieces of their style into my own! ^-^

[shannon_winstone28]

Love the outfit on your latest piece! The accessories really make it unique.

[Apath]

Finally started on Zbrush lesson and still halfway of the video lesson just playing around getting use to shortcut keys.

P.S I still have no idea how to make them look smooth/natural.

[Apath]

Some more 3D sculting while finishing Zbrush Lessons.^^

[Apath]

So I'm just gonna leave it here hoping that someone can help so. So I;ve been workin on the Barrel thingy for Zbrush and sadly I ended up deleting the plants on my first try so I had to redo it again. So now that I'm on my 2nd attempt, I cannot make my Mask pen work properly. Any one know how can I make them more clearer anot not blurry? @-@ I cannot make a clean plank guides nor erase them properly.

So blurry. >.<

You have too low resolution, you need to divide it a few times to have more polygons

[WeirdOwl]

What Peter said. Just don't go too high on polygons or it will be difficult to shape things.
