Continuing this one....really learning a lot from it!

Hey this is looking really cool! The only thing that I would change was maybe the "wings"? Tbh I can't really tell what material it is and you have such a natural looking character that the wings look stiff in contrast. But maybe that's how you wanted it, just saying

Thanks! Hey thanks for the feedback. Trying to figure out how to make that dark metal/armor. If you have any tips for that let me know Meanwhile slowly studying materials. This character is a slow yet good learning process.

No time today to work on my other character today, so here's a speed paint of a monster I made

[deborah-saez]

Another Speed, very busy right now.

how do you do these? do you take references or do u just make them up? or a combination of both?

[deborah-saez]

@jilltonic Most of the time, for the art that I take my time on, I usually gather reference before starting a piece. For the fast sketches, I usually make them up. See how much I can remember of my studies. Hoped this helped, and if you have any more questions please don't hesitate to ask!

Really nice use of colour. Shadow and light.

[deborah-saez]

Thanks so much! @bowzertron

[bowzertron]

You are very welcome. You did all the hard work

[bowzertron]

This was your starting point for that fantasticlly colourful finished piece. You had a great starting point, no wander it turned out great. Good stuff keep it up. I struggle with colour a lot, real pain in th A, wish I had your flare.

[deborah-saez]

@bowzertron haha thanks! In terms of color, it's tough! I just good old fashioned brute force until I go "I like it" XD Takes some time to get it right though!

[deborah-saez]

The learning continues....

[bowzertron]

Thats why I bought the ten term art school course, even though I can draw I still bought Marcs course, as I cant afford them type of colleges. I think if I pay attention and do it all properly I believe it wiil make me that much better, I hope?.....

[deborah-saez]

You will if you keep at it everyday That's just a fact!

[deborah-saez]

Stupid and fun quick paint of Karamatsu

[bowzertron]

True, very true, I just have that small problem of a raelly hard type of work (Electrician) & i'm pushing really hard to get a job done but I will get on every day once I get a chance to start, I sware! I'm just that sort of person, once I start I just get hooked, which isnt always a good thing, art is fine to get hooked on though

[deborah-saez]

Speed sketch of the day!
