Hello again! I took a break last week to focus on some personal projects, but I completely forgot to share my work for week 5!

I have been feeling much more happy with my figure drawing practices. I remember that when I started I had a lot of difficulties, but as time has passed I have learned a lot and I feel more comfortable doing it.

I also did some studies on hybrid animal creatures. I found it very interesting how some artists have the creativity to create so many interesting animals. I'm not exactly the best at drawing animals, but I hope I can train my brain to do amazing things like that.

I was doing something different at first, but I thought it would be better to leave that idea for week 7.

I looked at some pictures of animals and decided to make the ones I liked the most. So I made a rabbit, a fox, a sheep and for the last one I tried to do something from my imagination, but unfortunately my ideas weren't very good.

I think what I find most difficult is that I don't really have too many ideas for making animals, and even though I try to look at several illustrations it doesn't help me much.

But I'll try to do something better for next week! ( ˶ˆᗜˆ˵ )

Hello again! I was going to post earlier in the week but had some trouble logging in, but I finally finished week 7 and 8!

Figure drawing exercises!

I also studied some more animals.

And I also did a human/animal hybrid! I wanted to make something that looked magical and I also tried to give her hair a pretty flowing look.

I found it quite difficult to come up with ideas for making fantasy creatures, so I decided to use animals that I liked as inspiration.

The mushroom one is definitely my favorite, I think the little hat gives it a lot of personality.

With this term 5 would be finished. I learned that I need to study a lot more about animals, but this was a really good introduction to something I probably wouldn't even bother learning otherwise.

I'm already working on Term 6 and hopefully I won't be having any troubles next week!

Buttered mushroom sounds really silly! But I think I like buttershroom better ( ◡̀_◡́)ᕤ

I finally started with term 6! I had some complications so I was a little late with this week's assignments.

I started by doing exercises with various shapes.

I also practiced with lightning, but I'm not sure if it looks that good, I think I need to keep practicing.

For the next assignment I used one of my old perspective practices .I realized that there were a lot of things that needed to be fixed, so I took the time to add some details and made the lineart less thick. I think those small changes made a big difference (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)

And then I added better lightning to set the scene in a day and night environment. The night version is my favorite, but I wish I had changed the color of the couch for the day version.

And I made a new character design! I don't have a name for him, but I thought he could be a tattoo artist.

I tried to make his design look cyberpunk, but I'm not sure I succeeded, I'm not a big fan of that style so it was a bit complicated. But I really like futuristic masks, so I tried to give him one!

I had the idea of ​​putting elf ears on him, but I thought it would be a lot more interesting if it was a device. At first I thought about making them into earphones, but I liked the idea of ​​making them into hearing aids much more. Although I think there are some hearing aids that can do both, so maybe both ideas work perfectly fine lol.

Hello! I finished week 2 so here are my assignments!

First, figure drawing exercises!

And for the second assignment I had to create 7 different drawings focusing on the principles of art. I didn't have time to make them very detailed, so I focused on getting my ideas across.

I want to explain a little bit about why I choose to do each of them.

Proportions: I did the sketch for this drawing a few weeks ago and I thought the idea was pretty good. The fairy was supposed to feel a lot closer than the mermaid, but I think I should have adjusted her scale a bit more.

Emphasis: I had the idea but not sketch, so I took the opportunity to make it a reality. The focal point of the piece is the pupil, so I wanted everything else to be in very similar colors and give the feeling of nighttime.

Variety: I wasn't sure what do to with this one, but when I thought about variety I felt that drawing many different flowers would be a good idea. And the little caterpillar is just there to keep the flowers company.

Repetition: Not really a big fan of the drawing, I think I could have made something better. I found some very good examples on this principle, but I didn't want to make geometrical shapes, so I tried making mushrooms.

Balance: This one was a little hard to think about, I didn't really want to make something symmetrical so I searched for more examples of it. I understood that the most important thing was the arrangement, so I tried to divide the drawing into two parts, the sky and the ground.

Movement: I always struggle with adding movement to my drawings so this was painful. I did the sketch a few months ago, but because it was hard to add movement I never finished it. I'm not sure if I did a good job with it, but I'll keep learning and hopefully I'll get better in the future.

Harmony: I really didn't knew what to do with this lol. I first understood it as color harmony, but then I realized it was probably a mix of all the other principles and I really didn't have any more ideas, or any other drawings that could fit the subject. If I'm honest, I think the proportions drawing has better harmony, and also includes other principles!

Hello! The past few weeks were a little busy, so here's my work for week 3 and 4!

I'm not really a big fan of mecha so I couldn't think about a lot of media that included these. But after searching for a while I remembered some designs that I thought were really cool, and the search helped me understand that probably what makes them look so interesting are the details and lots of geometric shapes.

I also tried making my own designs.

The first one is supposed to be a submarine, but I wanted it to look like a crab so it could collect things at the bottom of the ocean, and the blue color works to blend with the color of the water.

The second one was a little harder to make. I think I wanted it to look like a golem, but maybe I should have changed the legs to be thicker and wider. I used the colors of the construction workers' safety vest because I thought this could be a mech used to lift heavy things, but I think I didn't make its purpose clear visually.

I made the next one as an animal/mech hybrid so I wasn't thinking a lot about its functionality.

The inspiration is a snail, but I added a big eye to make it look more alien. I wasn't really sure what to do with the shell, those usually have very different designs in nature, but because I like pointy shells I decided to imitate that shape. The way that snails move is really hard to replicate when making a mech, so I decided to give it caterpillar tracks (it's that how it's called?)

It was fun working with things I would never normally draw, but I found it difficult to come up with ideas. ദ്ദി ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
