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!in47.9k
Today was a day of suffering, as i struggled to get things done for term 1 measurements assignment, but more than that, it was a happy day, because i found a big flaw that i need to work on. After failing for several hours, i discovered that i'm always exagerating the angles and making things much bigger than they really are.
I often have difficult in being consistent, like making the same character over and over again, as they look quite different from a drawing to another, and now i found a culprid, haha!
This one is the better that i got so far, i kinda cheated, putting it in front of the reference a bunch of times, hahaha. 
i'm gonna be working on this for some time. 
Worked on some more measurements today.
I'm very happy with the results, it is far from perfect, but i feel that i got really better with it, since i wasn't even capable of finishing this before (except that one piece yesterday, haha).
I think i gonna go to the next step now.
Let me know if you see there's something i've missed.
Looks nice! Nothing really jumps at me as being wrong 
Thanks cedricgo!
Today i worked in the Perspective 1 assignment:
I've made many mistakes and probally could have more patience, i also made those water pipes that didn't end very good, but it was fun!
I can't wait to try 2 point perspective too... but i think i will try to draw other scenes in 1 point, until i get mory confident.
As always, any advice is welcome!
Hey Douglas! Bem vindo ao ArtSchool 😃👍
Your pieces are amazing already. And I'm quite jealous of your measurement assignments, you nailed them really fast! (It took me WEEKS of pain and suffering to start getting them right 😅).
I also really liked your 1-point perspective assignment. As far as the perspective and proportions go, you nailed it. Maybe one thing to think about as you move forward to 2 and 3 point perspective studies is the line art: things further from "our view", their lines can be softer, and as the objects get closer and closer, the lines get thicker and darker. Makes sense?
Keep up the awesome work! Looking forward to see what comes next!
@dangras-almeida To be honest it was not my first time doing it, i've tried doing measurements some time ago in a more traditional drawing course, but nothing as complex, i've made mostly cups and some vegetables hahaha.
I've been doing gesture drawings every day, i feel that i don't really know what i'm doing, but i'm hoping to get better!
I've worked some more with perspective, tried a bunch of things and failed a bunch of times! It's really hard to draw buildings and props, but i will keep trying it! Environment art is really cool to see and is definitily something that i want to be good at.
I'm gonna step up to term 2 now! There is so many things that i wish to learn!!!
for gesture, you're trying to capture the energy of the pose while focusing loosely on proportions when you start adding mass the body parts but yours look great and they capture the poses well. also nice house in perspective.
Thanks Kosmonaut!
I've been working on term 2 photoshop assignments, decided to inspire the logo on a tabletop rpg i've been thinking of running with my friends! 
I was thinking of putting some stars and stuff, but decided to keep it simple.
I've made the little monster too! A good and old LV 1 slime! 
Let's gooo!
EDIT: Should i upload images with lower sizes? I've tried to edit the html code that appears to make them smaller, but it did not work... 
Nice logo and monster! I like the colors on the logo and the logo itself looks clean.
Hi!
I have been practicing every day at least a little, i have been doing gesture drawings and trying to pratice perspective some more... there's nothing really worth showing about that tho, haha.
I did the term 2 Line Weight and Shading assignments.
The color blending has been a kinda daunting for me, gonna show it when i get at least a more or less decent result hahaha. 
I also did a sketch for the Vivi fanart event, i'm not finishing it for now, but i decided to post it here since people seems to like it ! I'm planning to revisit it later!
Let's gooo!
for the shading assignment, it looks like you either didn't blend the values enough or used the airbrush to try to get a more blended result.
You also may want to make the background color different from white since some of your white value is lost on the canvas, or you can use lines to indicate where the forms stop. The white values also depending on your light source's intensity and distance, if there is an almost pure white as your lighting color then I would think it would spread a lot farther and you would have fewer mid-tones and shadows
I may be wrong about the light sources but from the arrow I assume is coming from the side. like for the one on the far upper right the light source looks like its coming straight from the right but it may be coming from behind it making the lighting make more sense if so disregard the last part of the previous point. great practice overall though love your Vivi sketch.
Thank you for the advices @Kosmonaut, it was very helpful!
I was doing the assignment with a bug that was messing up my brush, i think this is why it looks like i used an airbrush. 
I didn't understant that this was the problem, and became very frustated because i couldn't do the proper blending haha. One very kind person showed me how to solve it in discord and now i'm back to full action!
I tried again with the advices you gave me in mind. I'm still having a little dificult with blending using the Smudge tool, i feel that i'm ending up losing much of the gradient previosly made, then i try to use it less and the result is not smooth... 
I'm wanting to try to do the same with a soft brush to compare the results.
I did the same using soft brushes, it was much faster... but i feel that the hard brush make the aesthetic more interesting... For now i think i need to get better at blending and making the edges... i don't know how to make them look good
That's fine then, your forms look a lot better, and glad that the issue was resolved I remember that happening in the discord but I didn't make the connection to your name though lol. Me personally I like the hard brush and blend approach when I blend colors as well. I only use a soft brush if I want to go for a specific effect though, but I like the hard brush effect better since you have defined edges, and like you said it gives that certain look, whereas the airbrush looks worse in comparison imo. Keep up the good practice!
