A very good start! The pressure practice looks pretty smooth for the most part.
Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.0k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.4k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in47.4k
yeah the circles and pressure could definitely use some work but I think I've improved since then at least I hope.
This is my art practice from a few months ago trying to catch up on posting everything I did.
Hey there, you did great on this assignement, though there are still a few nitpicks. First, in the first exercice, they all are very close, maybe try shift a tad their hue and brightness. You nailed the first picture on the second exercice, But the second one's colors are a bit faded, the sky and the suit are the most noticeable difference. For the color balance, try to crank up the red. (Also the reference picture have some weird stuff going on there). And For the last one, I struggled with this one too, so I can tell that it is close, but I don't know how to fix it. All in all, it's great ! 😃 Have a nice day! (And please don't be discouraged)
I won't get discharged it's all part of trial and error, So thank you very much for the critique I truly do appreciate it. and I hope to improve from. Hope you have a splendid rest of your day.
I'd love to live here but anyways this is my house piece thing I did a while back.
Welcome! Nice work so far! I remember Marc saying for this beach adjustment its 3 changes and if you don't get it, its best to restart than to try to keep adjusting from there. Welcome to the group!
thanks I look forward to progressing and learning with you in art school
I decided I should probably do some cylinder practice critique is very appreciated.
I think it's clear that you made quite a bit of progress within those 3 weeks.
What I notice is, that your lines make the impression that you are quite tense. No need to hit the perfect line. I do like the imagery that was painted in one of the gesture drawing videos on Prokos Youtube: Imagine being a race car racing along the curves of the body.
I feel like you are a bit to focussed on detail here and there. You tend to draw in the muscles of the arms for example. What that tends to do is break the flow of the pose.
Another way I like to think about is: How can I make the longest possible line that still describes the pose?
Some examples:
thank you very much for the critique I will definitely try to be more loose with my poses and attempt to flow a little better.
Fantastic work! I'm still learning gesture but I try to push the movement until it breaks, then bring it back just a small amount. Loving your work!
These are a combination of measure drawings over time as I have made it habit to do one a day recently.
They look pretty good in terms of proportions to me. What i don't like is your linework in some places, it looks a bit hesistant. Particularly for this exercise I think a bit more finish would help, there should be no ambiguity where a line is placed
Also it would be cool to add numbers to the drawings, makes it easier to track your progress (especially for us followers =)). Can't wait to see the next 7.
thank you for advice I'll definitely take a little more time from now on tho clean up the line work and be more certain. I also hope you have a great rest of your day
This was one of my recent pieces I finished for an art gallery at my school, I'm still trying to figure out color and stuff like that but overall I think it turned out okay.
I can see some definitive improvement over the set, so all in all you are going in a good direction.
There's a couple of things I noticed:
To add onto what I wrote onto the image: No need to draw in the peak that's produced by the ribcage protruding. In my oppinion that's a detail that's hindering the flow. Nice long lines symbolize the stretching that takes place in that area, contrasted by the pinching on the back.
Also, while blocking out the major shapes is not an error, I personally find that it makes my gestures more stiff.
That being said, gestures are a great place to experiment. Try all kinds of different approaches and find out what works for you.
