  • 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?

  • 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 you

  • 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!

I finally finished week 8! I don't think I've ever drawn this much before, so I'm really proud of myself for finishing term 1.

Gesture Drawing.png3600x3000 902 KB

I'm not really good at making backgrounds in my drawings, but doing these studies made me realize that the process can be really fun, and that I shouldn't be afraid to include them, even if I still lack the ability to make them perfect.

But I also realized that doing buildings can be really difficult. I struggled a little trying to think of ideas for this assignment, I'm really not the best when it comes to imagining scenarios, so i think it's something i have to improve in the future.

Oh, and I don't think I ever shared the male-female proportions assignment, I probably forgot, so i'll share it now!

I liked the assignments for term 1, now that I am dedicating a large part of my time to drawing, these practices have helped me a lot. There are still many things I want to learn so probably this week or next I will continue with term 2. And thanks to everyone who has liked my work for the past few weeks!

Wow, nice work !

All of these look fantastic! I also love Ghibli movies, each scene is like a piece of art, especially the backgrounds.

Hello again! I was planning to take only a week off to focus on doing some personal stuff and then continue with the assignments, but unfortunately I got sick and I couldn't even do it ┐(￣ヘ￣)┌ and because I wanted to continue with the course I immediately started with term 2 after I felt better.

Starting with the visual communication 2 assignments, I realized that I already have the habit of analyzing every illustration I find, I started doing it to learn and include new elements in my art, and I've done so for many years now. Sometimes is a little disruptive when I'm trying to read manga or webcomics, but it has improved my visualization skills over time.

I think my knowledge of the elements of art is pretty good, but I definitely need to keep working on it to keep improving my art, and it would also help me to receive some feedback as well!

Photoshop assignment A was a little more tricky because I'm not using PS, and because my options were a little more limited I just did my best to understand the tools I had on hand and make something more simple.

I wanted to make a title for a fantasy story, so I searched for a pretty font that could express that. I also added some sparkles on the i to make it look like the moon.

Honestly, making this little monster gave me a headache. I've never been very fond of this tool, but i tried my best at making this little guy, and i think it looks really funny.

I think maybe I went overboard with the box cover, at first I wanted to make something simple for the title I made earlier, but I ended up doing a full illustration. I'm actually very proud of how it looks and I also had a lot of fun while making it.

Finally for the last assignment of week 1 I made my self-portrait. I'm not that good at drawing realistic features, but I think it looks very similar to my appearance.

One of the things that I really need to do during the next few weeks is posting more on the forum, I always end up forgetting to do it, so I'll try to be more active from now on!

Apr '24

woah the art on the box looks sooo good!

The box cover looks so good ! And the little monster looks very funny too !
Portrait is also very good, I like the pencil effect.

It's time for week 2! This week I had a lot of time to focus on tasks, so I didn't feel as rushed.

Starting with the gesture drawing!

The anatomy assignments were pretty good, but trying to connect and distort all the different shapes took me some time to get it looking right.

Anatomy Assignment 1-1.png3600x3000 1.55 MB

The spheres and heads were a lot more easier to do, but I definitely need to keep practicing and placing them at different angles to feel comfortable doing them.

Anatomy Assignment 1-2.png3600x3000 993 KB

This assignment was easier than the others, but I struggled a lot practicing line weight. Even though I've been drawing for years I'm still not very good at it, but while doing the assignment I realized that I have some bad drawing habits which are probably the reason why it is still very difficult for me.

I was also worried about making the custom brush because I never did one before, but I think it looks pretty good!

And lastly, the head drawings!

While doing the assignments for this week I got the idea of getting a sketchbook. I like doing digital drawings, but sometimes i end up wit headaches or back pain, so I think that drawing on paper from time to time might also be good for me. So I wanted to know if anyone has any recommendations for good sketchbooks, that would help me a lot!

Apr '24

Heeey those all look great man! excellent volumes and studies!! I'd say you have a really good handle of all these!

As for a sketchbook, I think it's a great idea! I also have one, though I honestly rarely use it myself.

I'd recommend starting with something small and practical. Something you can easily move around and carry. I'd say check your local market store, they are bound to have something simple. Personally I think that we usually try to go big, or pro since that's what we want to do, but in reality we should start modest, get a feel for it, understand it, and then invest in something better once we understand what we want or need better.

Then again, truth be told, I rarely use my sketchbook, I'll usually doodle in post it instead. Weird, but it actually works since I have them handy and can just practice random figures or shades with no compromise to "keep it". They're also incredible cheap.

Maybe someone more familiar with physical medium can provide better insight, but those are my humble two cents.

your shading is really good!

and your basic shapes look beautiful!

I have some strathmore sketchbooks (mainly handbook size just so its easier to carry around but sometimes i like the bigger ones.) depends on how fancy you want it but i find that if i buy a sketchbook thats too pretty i wont be able to draw in it cus i don't wanna ruin it if the drawing's not good XD so strathmore has a super simple look that u can kinda not care too much if u mess it up lol

Apr '24

@daceronine @mitsuki-youko thank you so much for your help!

I also rarely draw on paper, but I have realized that my ideas come out quite well when I draw them first on paper and then digitally. I also want to practice doing some random figures and poses without the compromise of keeping them or working on them for too long T.T

And i'll definitely check the strathmore sketchbooks! I like pretty sketchbooks, but sometimes I make a mess when drawing so yeah, I think it's better if I buy a simple one XD
