Danilo - Art School Journey

[HANDRO]

Great work Dan. I don't really see any issues with the way you positioned them. They might be rising too much as you get to the pectoral muscles, but that view makes it hard for me to say yes or no.

[profets]

haha no apologies necessary - it was a fun experience scrolling through

[dangras-almeida]

Not a lot of progress today, but at least got the other leg started:

[dangras-almeida]

Thanks @HANDRO
You might be right, and I'm also having a hard time distinguishing them in the picture.

[dangras-almeida]

Finished this one (I still have to watch the rest of the lesson for the rest of the leg).

Will practice some back views a bit more before moving on.

Solid exercie! Pay close attention to all the bumps etc try maybe to have not dimmed copied version on the side to pay attention to all details. I think the most visible mistake is on the obliques, you have marked a huge part of gluteus as obliques it would look more like that:

keep up the good work!

[dangras-almeida]

Thanks so much for feedback and correction @Frygidal! Really appreciate it. You're totally right. I'll go back to this piece and fix it before moving on.

[dangras-almeida]

And we are BACK to the normal schedule.

Was completely off last week, working on my wife's book and also enjoying a week off from work.

BUT ENOUGH REST, time to go back to the grind.
Tried to fix the mistake I made above:

And already started watching the classes for the lower leg. Will post some exercises tomorrow.

[dangras-almeida]

Y'all know you shouldn't miss leg day! #BadumTsss

Working on those lower leg muscles. Thank you Lord this wasn't really that hard.

[dangras-almeida]

Trying the skeleton thing again. Good exercise to push you to come up with stuff from your mind. Result sucks, but I enjoyed the exercise:

Looks solid! Good Job Danilo!👍👍

[cedricgo]

Really anatomy studies! It's really inspiring to see all your hard work. I should really get back to that.

[dangras-almeida]

Woooooooo, today was a good study session day (compensating for yesterday, that I ended up not studying at all):

@mau.wamp thanks man! Appreciate it 😬👍

@cedricgo thank you! Trying my best to keep that daily grind 😅 (The only way I'm able learn, really).

🎵 "Head, Shoulders, Knees & Toes. KNEES & TOES!" 🎵

In this case is more FEET AND TOES, but you know what I mean.

Recently, I've watched a few videos from ART-WOD, and the way he approached the construction of 3D objects (and how you mix them, and tweak their shape) made something click in my head that is making the understanding of these shapes a lot easier than I thought it would be.

That + Marc approaching the feet construction in a super "3D block", which has also been REALLY helpful. (But that might be a naive artist early thoughts about this 🤣).

Wish me luck!

[dangras-almeida]

They didn't turned out exactly how I wanted, but is the first time, so I'm cutting myself some slack. Tomorrow there'll be more! 💪💪💪

[mau.wamp]

I think they turned out quite well, Danilo!
Good job!

[dangras-almeida]

The feet, (in the positions above) were WAY less daunting than I thought. Haven't tried the multiple angles yet. Will probably exercise them a bit more before moving forward.

---

@mau.wamp oh, you're too kind. But I'm getting there, for sure! 😬💪🐾

[dangras-almeida]

Ok, feet in other positions are harder than I thought 😅
But figuring out the "3D shapes" first (w/ reference to help, of course) really does help

[Da_Bingus]

Nice exercise! keep it up

[dangras-almeida]

Feet exercises continue!

Decided to play around with a bit of rendering this time. Found a good reference and just went for it.

Thanks @What_the_dog_doin_tho!
