It looks good so far, especially the lighting. Maybe work on the shading on the body, maybe the face.

Nice work @dangras-almeida, for the rendering - I feel the same way you do. but i find that if i try to improve on at least one thing every time I get something out of it. sometimes I focus on trying to get better colors, or maybe more realistic looking clothing - what I'm trying to say it dont give up and keep trying. Also i like your Vi Portrait. :smile:

Hello friends,

It's been a while! Happy (belated) new year for you all!

Getting back at it, here's what I've been up to:

IT'S LINK!!

Love the linework on the lineart!

Just finished the "rendering". Definitely something I need to study more.
And that's what I will do!

Feedback always appreciated, folks 😊

Thank you!

Getting back to the grind!

This year started a bit all over the place, but things are starting to adjust, and study routine hopefully will stay as it is for a while now.

Here's what I've been up to, to get things moving:

Art and process by Akihito Yoshiotmi.

Feedback always much appreciated!

Starting a new base for a hair study. Art and process by ChrissaBug.

Beautiful! I can't wait to see the hair! I have no clue how to draw it lol!

Finished base construction for the hair study. Now moving on to the ACTUAL study 😅
Art based on process by ChrissaBug.

I love this! The curve below her shoulders and the lines for her hair are lovely.

Progress on hair study. Definitely don't know what I'm doing. Tried to follow a "basic shape" approach to the shading, but didn't like it that much. Will likely take a step back and try again.

I really don't know what I'm doing 😅
It's decided. After this I'm going back to basics.

After a long haul due to work and routine being completely out of whack, decided to come back to basics. I've established a routine where I'll study portraits, mannequins (and in both exploring shapes, forms, construction), and finally starting the baby steps on digital painting.

Here's the progress on today's portrait:

Hope you like it. And as always, your time and feedback is much appreciated.

Thank you!

I've currently just started Term 2 and was feeling very hopeless about myself, but your progress gives me so much hope! It's really nice to see other people trying to learn together, you're very inspiring! :smile:

Thank you for your kind words, @yazziixx 😊

Looking back, I definitely feel I had some good progress over these 2 years of ArtSchool.
Still lots and lots to learn tho, so let's keep going 💪

But thanks again! Really appreciate it!

Finished the portrait study I was doing. Moving on to the next study.

Got a bit carried away when I said "back to basics" the other day 😅

I can see that you're doing very well with the portraits. Keep up the good work.
