Wasn't very productive today... but I did paint this one nose that I am actually quite pleased with.

did some facial structure study today.

More face stuff today with varying amounts of realism. Some of these took a lot longer than I'd like to admit, I just couldn't get some of them to look right.

edit:
added more faces and slapped some colour into a couple of the ones I liked best. I feel like it's starting to come together.

She looks awesome! Nice design! I love the colors and lighting. Great job!

I wanted to try my hand at animating something today, it's very simple and not at all related to the class in any way but i figured it couldn't hurt to post it here anyway. It's Mirin from granblue fantasy banging the table top joyfully.

I added a couple more faces to my faces sheet and took off a couple of the dumpy ones. Haven't been as productive this week as I would have liked but that's life I guess.

Even more faces today. Marc said he didn't know if I was doing the construction before fleshing out the face so I decided to leave my construction lines in this time. I started out just doing the basic head construct but it bothers me to just leave a blank face with nothing on it. Proportions on these are definitely a bit more pixar than real life but that's sorta what I was going for.

I find I'm still struggling a bit with the more extreme angles so I might have to do a bit more work on that. I have a harder time finding good reference images for those.

hyoi 2020-12-08 23:37:45 UTC #48

Again with the faces... First couple are a little dumpy because I didn't use a reference but I'm pretty happy with the rest of them.

Hey guys, you'll never guess what I worked on today.... It was more faces.

I did even fewer than the day before but I think they are definitely the best batch I've done so far. I am trying to do a bit more with the shading and I think there is pretty noticeable improvement between these last few and the first faces I was doing a couple weeks ago.

I should probably start on that perspective project soon but ugh...

The bold colors on the guy's face are awesome, as well as the expression of the lower-right girl!

cedricgo 2020-12-10 19:01:29 UTC #51

That's some nice progress for sure! Keep it up!

hyoi 2020-12-10 22:31:45 UTC #52

only got two faces done today... I'm wondering if I should focus less on polishing these and just pump out more faces but at the same time I feel like it's good practice for painting so it's probably fine.

Spent a good part of this morning fawning over art by people like Akihiko Yoshida and Kusano Shinta and trying to figure out how to emulate their line work. I did a quick study of some terra battle 2 art I found, it's not a very accurate recreation but I was just trying to get a feel for how they do the line art in this sort of style. I might try to do more of this sort of thing in the future except actually spend some real time on it.

After that I did a couple more faces. I think I'll probably move on to the perspective project next week, I'm getting tired of only drawing faces.

hyoi 2020-12-14 23:08:59 UTC #54

I worked on this wall today. I kinda like it.

Julia_J 2020-12-15 06:57:09 UTC #55

Looks fantastic!!

I spent my day trying to wrap my head around more perspective concepts like the station point rotation and some 4p stuff.

Made a stack of rotating boxes with 3p perspective. The left stack looks a little wonky because I had my vanishing points too close together I think but you need to make such a massive canvas to do station point rotations so it's whatever.

4p perspective took me a while to figure out but I built a grid with the curve tool and I think it ended up working. The car is a little too wide I think but other than that I'm happy with how it looks for a quick drawing.

I should probably make more actual drawings of things in 4p perspective before moving on but I might not do that tomorrow. Perspective studies make my brain hurt.

I took a break from perspective to dabble a bit more in animation. This project was a bit more ambitious than my last one but I am very happy with it. The character was something a friend of mine came up with and I just decided to animate him.

Animation takes so damn long. I definitely have a new found respect for the people who do this.

update:
added a friend and some colour. There is one more thing I want to add but I'll work on that tomorrow.

Julia_J 2020-12-18 06:42:53 UTC #58

I love this little pink fellow

hyoi 2020-12-18 22:19:03 UTC #59

Finished the animation today, I'm super happy with the result and I learned a lot doing it.

Unfortunately because I spent so much time on this I don't really have anything to submit for critique tomorrow

The bird! OMG, love the animation. This is great.
