Hello! It's time for week 4! There was only one thing that I needed to do, but it took me so long to get it right I even had a nightmare about it lol

For this week I needed to sculpt a full body, so I used this photo as a reference.

This time around I did watch some videos to understand how other people sculpted body parts, and also learn shortcuts and get some advice.

The shortcuts were really tricky, sometimes they did work, but sometimes they didn't?? I didn't really understand why, after playing around a bit I got them to work...sort of?

I thought about taking pictures of the whole process, but as the hours passed I forgot about it so I don't have many photos to share.

This is how the body looked like at first. I tried to put everything into place before working on the details so I think I did pretty good, and the feet looked very funny lol

I added the hands at the end because I was scared to do them at first, and I also had a lot of work to do on the arms.

My biggest challenge was definitely the head. Drawing a real face is hard, but sculpting it can be even trickier. I was using other pictures of the model as a reference, but I realized that my face and hers were very different, so I gave up and tried to make something that looked decent.

I also added too much detail while making it and then Blender almost crashed a couple of times. So, later I had to redo it because the model needed a lower quality and that removed a lot of those details from her face.

So I guess I spent too much time making the head for nothing ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Here's the pose in three different angles. I think I did a good job on the body and the hands actually turned out better than I expected, yayyyy!

Although I had a small problem, I'm not sure how, but there is a small connection between the two legs. I tried my best to get rid of it, but none of the things I tried really worked, so I gave up and worked on other parts of the body.

Then I realized that I could have prevented it from happening, but it was too late and I had already completed most of the body so oh well.

I think the head was the only thing that didn't come out so well, it doesn't look anything like the reference, but at least I tried.

Although I started having nightmares about the sculpture, I actually learned quite a bit while working on it, and honestly it was pretty fun too.

While I was doing this assignment I started seeing a lot of videos and pictures of things that can be done in Blender and it caught my attention. I had never thought about working with 3D modeling, but now that I tried it and saw what people can do maybe I will give it a go in the future ٩(^ᗜ^ )و ´-

Oh! and my little fantasy creature does look like a pokemon (O_O)!

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 ༎ຶ‿༎ຶ )
