Beliroz' s Mediocre art shack

Yo, am I doing this right?

Hello everyone! I decided to give this whoe art blog-deal a go, since I really wanna git gud at drawing to hopefully one day make a career out of it. I am currently taking a class in 3D design, but I seem to enjoy drawing more than sculpting. At least for now.

I will be uploading sketches, sculpts, models and such and I welcome any constructive critisism thrown my way. Bants are also welcome I consider my current art somewhat at the level of a dumpster fire and I am looking forward to get better!

Also, if I and Achrnoic (go check him out he's a cool guy) seem to upload a lot of the same stuff it's not coincidental, we're in the same class, sitting right next to eachother. So some "inspiration" (read: me stealing his stuff) is bound to happen.

Here's what I've been working on at school this week. My first ever silhouettes, so I'm probably doing it wrong.

Nice silhouettes!

Just a thought:
Since it's the beginning of the design phase, it might be good to explore some different poses to get the feel of the character down more- It looks like a female sorcerer's pose, but some of the silhouettes seem to imply heavy armour/ warrior class.

Thank you!

I see your point. I choes that pose because I didn't know what charcter I wanted to create, so I just chose a pose I like to look at. It also makes it obvious that the character is female, as some of these sets could easily be mistaken for male.

Hey, welcome friend! Looking forward to more uploads!

beliroz 2017-01-13 13:44:07 UTC #6

Here are all the silhouettes. We also had to flesh out 5 for the delivery. I am pleased with how the designs turned out!

beliroz 2017-01-13 13:49:24 UTC #7

Against my better judgement I've chosen to upload some of my personal works as well (in no particular order). There are obvious mistakes, but that's how we learn, right?

beliroz 2017-01-23 23:24:04 UTC #8

So yeah, time to post more stuff! Last week's assignment, my character Meihua, and a little something I drew today since I try to draw at least something every day.

Some value practice! Shoes are smudgy, it's still a WIP. And I'm at a loss about what to do with the lineart. On one had, I want to keep it, but on the other I want to break loose of it since "real art" doesn't have lineart in the finished pieces.
(inb4 I trigger someone with that last sentence)

A little WIP of the day

beliroz 2017-02-01 22:28:51 UTC #11

You reap what you sow.

Very satisfied with this. My initial idea didn't have an escaped android in a pond, but that's where I ended up. I got so immersed in my drawing and zoned completely out, only being slightly distracted by my stomach's famished rumbles. Haven't had such a strong cognitive shift in a while.
I'll definitely continue with this piece.

Nice stuff in here!

Glad to see you doing the construction for your figures. It pays off so much!

Excited to see more!

What I've been working on lately. It's my character from our current DnD campaign, Nossae! Still got some colors to do.

beliroz 2017-02-14 11:30:51 UTC #14

A doodle I did at school. I didn't plan on taking it further than the flat colors, but Achronic kept nagging and pushing me to do more and showed me some techniques and tricks to add shadow and highlights in a hurry,
I based the design on Reinhardt's Balderich skin and just played around.

beliroz 2017-02-15 13:35:05 UTC #15

Got the itch for some sculpting today. Creepy Mc. Skull!

achronic 2017-02-16 08:53:04 UTC #16

Awesome skull! I liked the horns, reminded me of Illidan from Warcraft. It's quite aggressive, I can feel the hissing from the energy!

beliroz 2017-02-16 15:21:40 UTC #17

@achronic Thanks! I totally didn't steal any design ideas from you I had an image in my head of the skull just floating around and screaming while it was on fire. #justdemonthings

More sculpting from today, my first human head (or at least it's supposed to be):

ngocthachdu 2017-02-16 22:51:14 UTC #18

I like how you construct your figures, I think you could've been a tad more loose during the silhouettes and really push out some more ideas out there.

beliroz 2017-02-21 17:03:37 UTC #19

What I'm currently working on.
To do before ruining it with shitty values:
- Shrink hands
- Try to make more realistic eyes
- Polish line-weight
If you spot anything else, please let me know!

beliroz 2017-02-22 20:45:57 UTC #20

Done for now! Really satisfied with the line weight!
