Darts (Douglas)- Art School Journey

[Lockenheim]

Great work! Keep it up!

[xdarts]

I have watched the Anatomy 2 class and am currently trying to memorize the names of the muscles, i think it will take some time. Those are my notes:

I'm back working on the project i set for myself a little time ago!
I decided to make the character full body because i think it's more fun.

Here is the linework for Shani, from The WItcher (Based on the first game). I will try to make the shading more stylized this time and see how it goes.

Any advice is welcome!

Hi!
I have finished it! It's kinda messed up here and there, but i'm really happy with the result! I'm still getting lost in the process but i hope to get better at it with enough practice.
Let me know what you think!

Fantastic stuff Darts! The shading looks great and the pose is really believable! I think the legs may be a little long though

[xdarts]

Thank you for the Feedback @Lukiesartventure! I've been using a different head-to-body ratio from what Marc Teach that i've learned ages ago and wasn't even thinking about it!
I have tried to make this new one with this in mind.

I've made the Lineart for Triss Merigold, with the looks from the Witcher 1. Drawing the entire body is much more fun, even tho i need to get better at drawing anatomy...

[xdarts]

Hello!
I have finnally finished it! I had to rework some things that didn't work before (like the right arm and the face). I could spend some more time refining it, but i think it's good enough for now.
I have followed the latest tutorial that Marc posted on Youtube for this, and i am very happy with the result.

Let me know what you think.

[luke.buersgens]

It looks good!
As you said yourself, you could have refined it a bit more.
But I really like the way it is now, has a warm feeling to it.

[Lukiesartventure]

Great stuff Darts! This came out really well

[xdarts]

Today i have worked on the first assignment for the Anatomy 2 class, feel free to point any mistakes that i may have made.

I will post a link to the anatomy reference that Marc shared with us, just to be easier to find it in the future, it's such a life saver!

Male Anatomy Reference

Hey guys, here's my male anatomy model in a convenient 3D viewer in its own topic so you can bookmark it and use it as reference later! Hope this helps. scene.mview (3.2 MB)

I've been sick and got kinda sloppy with my regular practices, but i'm trying to get back on track. Let's keep the grind going, slowly but steady!

[Lockenheim]

What I think, is this is fantastic! Great lines and a great piece!

[xdarts]

Just finished the last assignment for the Anatomy 2 class.
Last week marked 6 months of progress in the program, i'm very happy with the progress. now i'm finally moving on to Term 4!

[xdarts]

Hello!
I don't really like the result of this, but since i have commited to it, here it goes.

I think it's a good idea to make things like this from time to time, aside from just studying, to put things in practice, so i got something out of it anyway.
I will keep working on my fundamentals.
Let's grind!

[Lukiesartventure]

The shapes in the clothing look quite believable darts! Just the painting that seems a little off to me

[xdarts]

@Lukiesartventure Thank you for the feedback! Sadly painting still is my weak spot, i've tried to do some different things in this piece but it ended up not looking good haha. I will keep working on it, hoppefully i will get a little better with practice!

I'm still not happy with how i draw faces and have studied it some more, i will make a new batch of D&D characters, starting with this Elven Wizard!

[xdarts]

One More! This time is a Human Ranger!

[dangras-almeida]

Hey @xdarts

The overall read of the character (Geralt) looks quite nice! You did a really nice job with the pose. One thing that I noticed was how the very thick line art around the character almost made me feel like there was a blurry or duplicate effect around it that it took me a while to understand what was going on. Which is something I don't see happening as much in your 2 other D&D characters (that turned out quite nice as well! Congrats!). Maybe you could try to decrease their size a little?

The elven wizard looks awesome, hard to pick between him and the ranger, hahaha.

[Lockenheim]

These are awesome! What are their subclasses? =)

[xdarts]

@dangras-almeida Thank you for the feedback! I see what you mean, i got a little frustrated with this piece and ended up making a sloppy lineart. I'll be more careful next time!

@Lockenheim Thank you very much! The Wizard (Acanthus) is a diviner and the Ranger (Wulf) is a Gloom stalker! We are playing the Rise of Tiamat Campaing .

And here comes one more, his name is Kriv and he is a Fighter with the Arcane Archer Subclass. I've tryied to work some more on the edges this time.

Three more to go!

[xdarts]

Hey again!
Now it's time for our frenetic barbarian, Inox!

[iLeafz]

Yoo, these portraits are looking great, really cool style!

Abraço!
