Haha thank you Snakker!, and don't worry about "keeping up", as Marc said, this isn't a race, it's a marathon!, all it takes is consistence and not giving up when something doesn't fully go your way, keep grinding!
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?in24.2k
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!in48.0k
Weekly Update #1
Oooh boii, we're doing the 1st Weekly update, and I decided to go with a weekly schedule just to see how it goes, if I don't like it then I'll find something that works well, trial and error.
As usual any feedback is appreciated.
Now starting off, I lost out on Monday and Tuesday cause we got Scabies.. I got very lucky so far, and haven't gotten any rashes or itching spots.. YET, but due to the infectiousness of Scabies we had to "quarantine" ourselves and avoid touching most items/objects in our house, unless we were wearing gloves, or covered it with paper bags.. This place has looked like a madhouse for some time now, it's kind of funny.
So drawing with 2 or 3 pairs of gloves wasn't very feasible, nor was it comfortable, and I just skipped out on those 2 days so we wouldn't need to endure this pest for so long.
Starting off with my Gestures, I'm starting to have more fun doing them as time goes by, but when doing 1 Minute gestures I find myself just sitting there with time left cause I don't know how to add volume to the characters, I could probably use the 1 Minute Sessions using the Force method, but then I'd need to learn it first, any tips here is appreciated!.
We're going by Date this time, starting with oldest. 5th October
This one had the same problem as my previous ones, poor visibility, don't worry I fixed that on these!
6th October
And as I mentioned, I get lost on the 1 Minute Poses, Adding form seems a bit daunting.
7th October
8th October
Now I'm skipping over to today, Monday 10th October cause I slept through basically the whole of Sunday, I don't know how but I'm amazed.
In terms of Construction, I didn't do much at all, I just feel like I understand the basics well enough, though doing a few constructions a day wouldn't hurt, Laziness won this time though and I only did 3.
Let's just jump straight into the Measuring Exercises, I started off doing 2 a day, then I slowed down to 1 due to my horrible ability to keep a normal sleeping schedule, I'm experiencing 1st hand how awful it is, take care of yourselves please, and don't do what I'm doing!.
Still going in order of old to new btw.
I also tend to just do random stuff here and there too, Hope it isn't too distracting, it it is then please let me know.
This last one was probably the closes I've ever been, However due to me measuring her Left shoulder (Our right) Wrong, I ended up with a messed up Left side. Also her breasts are a bit smaller in my version, I need lots of practice still.
I also just "censored" her private part, just in case a cameltoe would classify as NSFW.
And to finish things off I took 3 days and did 5 simple sphere shading exercises each day, I haven't gone into the shading of random shapes yet cause I didn't feel like my sphere shading was good at all.
Now it's a fair bit better, not as smooth as I probably could make it, but at the same time I also like the "texture" it has from MB's Smudger. Any feedback again is very much appreciated!.
I also haven't gone into proper light classes yet, so bounce/reflective light isn't something I fully understand.
Alright that'll do it for me for this week, or at least those 3-4 days I got to draw on.
Hope you all keep grinding those XP Points, without overdoing it!.
Much love to you 
!.
very nice studies! 
Thank you so much!
These are really good
Cheers!
Tysm Snakker!.
Alright time for the 2nd Weekly Update, I admittedly didn't get much done at all, mainly due to me struggling with my 3 Point perspective Assignment, I just couldn't come up with anything interesting.
Starting off with Gesture Drawings.
I quit this session really early cause I was too eager to get my 3 Point Perspective Assignment done. And I skipped the 1 Minute session, I just didn't feel a need for it yet
These were complete sessions in no specific order.
I also tried the Force method with gesture drawing, I need a lot of work to improve, but it was a fun change of pace.
I did just a few Constructions too cause 3 Point Perspective.. Maan that had me ripping my hair out.
And only 1 Figure drawing, I'm really disappointed in myself here, I'll try my best to do more this week now that I have more time.
3 Point Perspective Assignment
Over to the massive Time sucker, 3 Point Perspective Assignment.
I did 3 Different attempts, though 2 were mostly just me trying out a few ideas before going back and finishing my 1st attempt.
And here's my finished 3PP Assignment. It went through a few minor changes that I felt didn't really fit into the finished drawing.
I would've added shading but I haven't figured out how to work with layers well yet, so I'll try that another time.
Thank you for checking in, and I hope you're getting those Art gains too!.
Awesome stuff, i like your line work for outlining the figure not going overboard, rather clean and clearly shows the volumes
As for three point, damn, that really looked like a lot of work, haven’t gotten that far yet myself. Although I did notice the bridge, I think the part closer to the left should be a bit bigger than the part to the right as it would be closer to the viewer, but I could be wrong
Cheers
Hi CYP ... nice progress and effort u put in all ur sketches ... once u master the fundamentals nothing will stand in ur way to create ur own art and being confident as an artist ... keep it up
Thank you Snakker, really appreciate your feedback!, Though I have to ask, Which bridge are you mentioning?, that little suspension bridge or the main bridge/arch on the castle/wall thing?, I'm dying to see my mistake and fix it 
If it's the little suspension bridge then that's fully on me being lazy and just wanting to fill in that space with something more xp. Still thank you for seeing my mistake and helping me correct them!.
Thank you Paul!, The fundamentals are going to take a while to master, But in the end it'll be all worth it, Thank you for your encouraging words, and I can't wait to see more of your progress!.
Haha, no need to apologize!, I'm just happy that it was the small suspension bridge instead of the whole main castle arch cause that'd be a pain to fix.
Thank you so much for your feedback, you were 100% right, the closest part of that bridge was fairly smaller than the one further away, so I went back and fixed it, much appreciated!.
I'm just gonna go ahead and upload some last minute updates from today's drawing session, I might adopt a daily update schedule instead of weekly cause I tend to lose track of what I haven't posted and what I have.
All I did today was 1 almost full page of different perspective studies, and a few random Line weight practices.
I also went back to my 3 point perspective drawing and attempted to add some contrast between the castle/wall and the sky, just cause I felt like a purely white castle with a pure white sky didn't work so well. I also tried to add some very simple shadows around what I'd consider to be the most important parts of the wall.
I haven't started with light related studies yet so I'm bound to make mistakes here, Correct me if you please!.
And thanks to Snakker for letting me know my suspension bridge wasn't correct in terms of perspective!, I went back and changed simply using warp, quick and easy fix, though it still doesn't look fully right to me, Might go back tomorrow and fix it fully.
