Carol C - Art School Journey 2.0

[carolcarrizales80112]

Hello everyone! My name is Carol C and I think this is the correct forum to showcase my work for school. I've been so confused on which forum I should be posting and I think this is the one.
My first assignments are in other forums but I will be using this one from now on (maybe).
30 second poses

1 minute poses

Not too happy with the results but I know with more practice I can get better in capturing the life of the poses.
Skeletons

The placement of the pelvis is what stumps me a bit. Will practice more on that.

First line art study was from one of my favorite artist Jackie Droujko. I am very much in love in how she implements perspective so well and each of her characters showcase a lot of personality.
I chose this character because I liked the gesture pose and the perspective.

My goal for this study was to learn how to apply line weight in the right spots. I think practicing this will help me improve on my line art since that was something I always shy away from.

Any recommendations or something I can improve on is very much welcomed please.

First of all, interesting artist you have here. As an artist who does cartoon, I love the angle and perspective of that character.

Secondly, nice art study! I know you are doing line weight but you can get more if you try to find the rhythm/energy of the pose. That may explain why particular parts have darker line weight (e.g. leg and hair)

And also, welcome!

[carolcarrizales80112]

Thank you! For my next line art study, I will try to find and capture the rhythm/energy of the poses.

30 second poses

1 minute poses

For my second line art study I have chosen Max Grecke. I loved the exaggerated pose he put for the iconic Batman.

This one was very challenging for me. The main focus for me was the pose and I know I had to capture it perfectly to make the Batman come to life.

Tried my best to get the flow right. I know I could have added more variety when it came to the line weight but this is the final result. Any tips is very much welcomed.

Other line art study from artist Joe Palmer. His art is shape heavy and I wanted to study his art style.

I liked the monkey so I selected this one for my study.

[carolcarrizales80112]

I did an environment color study a while back before starting to learn perspective. I had very little knowledge of horizon line, vanishing points, or 1-5 point perspective. Now that I am starting perspective I hope to create environment illustrations with more depth and accuracy that is more fun for the viewers.

I was unhappy with the way I approached gesture drawings. They looked stiff and I felt as though I wasn't truly capturing the gesture. After looking some videos on how to gesture draw, there was one video that gave me the push I needed to understand more on the subject.

Love Life Drawing 'Figure drawing will make sense after this video' gave me that extra push. After watching the video, I noticed a difference in my gesture drawings. Still have a long way to master gesture drawing but the very least I feel as though I'm heading the right direction.
Gesture Drawing 1 minute

good stuff, that channel changed the way i look at gesture completely, i even did a little challenge on his forum a while back that quite literally opened my eyes, awesome find.

[carolcarrizales80112]

Been doing more one minute gestures drawing and I see some improvement which makes me very happy. I am focusing more on trying to break down the gesture so I sometimes (or most of the times) don't get to finish the pose. But overall happy I'm getting the feeling of the pose down. Gotta keep practicing more.

[gregorya]

You're doing pretty good so far. I like your gesture drawings.

[carolcarrizales80112]

Thank you! I'm happy to be seeing some progress in my gesture drawing and I hope to get so much better in the future.

[carolcarrizales80112]

Moving on to 2 minute gesture drawings.

[gregorya]

How do you make your gestures so clean?

[carolcarrizales80112]

Got back on track. Here are some one minute gestures. I am trying a new approach for gestures. Did some cylinders since I was rusty too. Added some doodle faces cuz I got a bit distracted.
