Blinx Art Blog

Just bought the course a few days ago and going to start tracking my journey by posting here!
Looking forward to improving my ability to see, draw, and create art upon this journey's path

I followed along with the proportions tutorial, but felt a little stiff while doing so. Then I decided to draw some rough sketch figures from reference after.

Finished the first assignment! Let's go frens!

Number 2.2 and Number 4 proved the most difficult for me. I think number 4 is the most "off" still. The legs are still a little too red and need to be a bit more orangish brown then the saturation of the towel needs to go up a bit and the sand saturation maybe down a bit haha. I think I struggled the most with the levels aspect and trying to juggle between what was changing in the picture while adjusting them.

So this is my dream castle in the mountains by a lake. Making the reflection was the most difficult because I didn't know how to pivot it to properly rotate 180 and then how many units it needed to go down to match the trees in the mountain so the intermesh between the buildings and trees doesn't blend that well shapes wise, but overall I still enjoyed the process and learned a lot!

And last but not least the Old to Young man clone, the additions of apples, and the beautiful alien that isn't quite human... yet!

Practice using the head measurement technique as scale to get the correct proportions

Okay, posting some raw 30 second figure posing sketches. Man it's crazy how fast 30 seconds goes by, I was struggling to managing the timing on these, but I wanna post and see how I improve looking back

I'll add some notes that I took too during the class!

Things to look out for: Gesture Drawing

-Position of feet important (Provide weight)
-Nice line of action
-Position of feet make or break pose
- Spend a little more time on feet (orientation, position)
- Face: trace line where eyes are
-Always draw limbs that are in front first
-Use front limbs as reference for limbs behind

Progress of my figure drawing! I am working on using the head to create the correct proportions relative to the rest of the body and making corrections in sequential steps. Of course I had to add a Jinx overlay at the end lol

Checking in by uploading my perspective assignment! I found adding details in the one point perspective and buildings in the two point perspective to be difficult. Looking forward to learning about anatomy in the next lesson for sure.
