[Choki]

Hi, I am choki and I aspire to become a character designer artist for gacha games or anime style games. I recently joined the Potato group and we´re going through the entire Art school Program.
I am not giving up this time, because I really want to make this my job for life and I want to feel I really accomplished something.

WEEK 1:

Observation study:

Daily Nude Figure Drawing assignments 1-3:

And a quick character concept for the week around the theme of "spirit". Overall, was surprised that I was able to create a character in 8 hours (considering that it can take me weeks to finish one). Points to remember next time I create a character or polish it:

1. Think about elements that represent the theme more clearly on the
   character so you can achieve a more unique perspective,
2. Try to make the character easier to see (so the people can see the different elements of the clothing of the character, foreshortening covers some parts of this character)
3. Analyze different characters with the same theme and see how they differentiate their characters from the rest.
   1. If people can´t recognize what is the theme of your character from a first glance, you have failed homie.
   2. Probably think a little bit about the background of the character. This could give me ideas to incorporate different unique elements on the character.

Alright, I'm very impressed by this observation studies. Flowers are complex (especially a rose) so the way you figured out how to draw those is very cool. Maybe i'll give it a try some time.

Week 3 and 4

Trying to balance my job with the studies. My perspective really suck and it´s a lil hard for me to understand it. Welp, it can only go better from this. And I really need to get back on the track of trying to analyze some objects or textures (I really wanna try to learn how to paint certain materials).
