  • 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?

  • 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 you

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

  • 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!

Hello everyone. I go by the name of Eugene. I want to draw my dreams into reality, but I lack artistic skills. In fact, I have zero experience drawing. It was only a month ago that I resolved to learn how to draw because I don't want to have any regrets in my life...and neither should you!

Every week, I will post my progress. I hope this will not only encourage me but others as well. Feedback, criticism, roasts...anything you guys post is appreciated. And, if you don't see me posting each week or I get lazy, hold me accountable! Although I work and study full-time, I make it a habit to draw for 1 hour (at least) every day.

Thanks to all of you for having me in this community, and I look forward to the exciting journey ahead.

Sep '22

Here's the work I have produced so far...
I know that everything is bundled together, but basically what I try to do each day is the following: I practice line art on three-lined paper sheets and then I move on to sketching. Next Sunday, I will post more detailed pictures of my work as well as digital receipts of what I am practicing in term 1 of Art School

Sep '22

Welcome Eugene,
I love that Kirua ! keep up the goodwork and welcome in this artists community :smile:

Sep '22

Welcome! May you enjoy the art journey ahead :sparkles:

Sep '22

Welcome to the forum my friend! Look forward to seeing your progress.

Hello everyone. Happy Sunday (although I am really writing this on Monday b/c I had a 7-page paper to turn in last minute :tired_face:)!

I want to start off by thanking everyone who took the time to view the start of my journey, whether they commented or not. Now, let's move on to this week's progress...

On Sunday (9/4), or the day I created this topic, I started by working on my line art for about 30 minutes. I do this EVERY day, so I won't bother mentioning it again b/c it will just become repetitive :sweat_smile: . Anyways, I then move on to copying the following image of Akame from Akame ga Kill...
I just drew her head and neck b/c, up until this point, I had only practiced drawing the head (i.e., eyes, nose, mouth, eyebrows, ears) from online tutorials. Here's the result...

IMG_0418.jpg4032x3024 2.77 MB

The drawing on the left-hand side was from Saturday (9/3) and the one on the right-hand side was from Sunday (9/4). I redrew it b/c I didn't like how it looked. I moved the eyes farther apart, protruded her chin a bit more, and brought back the neck. Also, if you noticed, I did not mention that I learned how to draw hair. The reality is that I did look up some tutorials, but hair gives me so much trouble, for which reason these two drawings took me like 40-50 minutes each (I know, it's bad :cry:) . Everything but the hair I finished in like 5-10 minutes. So, if anybody knows how I can improve drawing hair, please let me know.

On Monday (9/12), I began term 1 (hooray!). I watched "Term 1 - Visual Communications" and "Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing." I then again drew from reference. This time, I chose Mai Kawakami from Myriad Colors Phantom World...

IMG_0403.jpg4032x3024 2.37 MB

Same deal as w/ the drawing from Sunday, it took me 40-50 minutes b/c of the damn hair! :triumph: Everything else I was able to accomplish within the span of 5-10 minutes. And yes, I lightly sketch before drawing more solid lines. Nevertheless, any feedback is appreciated.

Moving on to the drawing in the middle, that is my first figure drawing attempt from "Term -1 Nude Figure Drawing." I wasn't exactly satisfied with measuring proportions using the pencil method, so I looked up some videos that would help me simplify the basic human anatomy, and I stumbled upon this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mT9Vbb7WDMo&list=PLh33PBNTMQJd3WE3q4djHolYvDOBUptDp&index=1&t=169s. At the time, I thought it was a really good video, so I gave it a go (drawing on the far right).

I finished the day with some gesture drawings. I did not set a time limit b/c this was my first time doing gesture drawing, though this will eventually come back to bite me (more on this later). Here's how these drawings came out...

3.jpg4032x3024 2.42 MB

On Tuesday (9/6), I just practiced tracing on top of some different images in Procreate using the same method Marc used in "Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing."

I also tried practicing gesture drawing within 30 and 60-sec intervals. I have to be honest...my drawings were so poor that I gave up after drawing 17 of them :pensive: . Here's how they ended up looking: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1xsmG-bG6Tny58cMcmrih0ywgfxAgP_KN/view?usp=sharing

On Wednesday (9/7), I filled out the "Male-Female Proportions" template, not from memory (yet). Here's how it came out looking...

Lastly, I did some more tracing practice but w/ some different build blocks as you will see below...

On Thursday (9/8), I tried figure drawing w/ the same time intervals but on paper. I have gotta say, I like the feel of drawing on paper way more than on iPad, and here's what I ended up with...




I stepped up my basic-anatomy game (or at least I like to think that I did :smirk: ) and drew some more refined building blocks. I took inspiration from David Finch and Kuzomari. The two videos I watched are:
1) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KtPxn1yLy_U&list=PLh33PBNTMQJd3WE3q4djHolYvDOBUptDp&index=6&t=159s).
2) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L90HFBblWMw&list=PLh33PBNTMQJd3WE3q4djHolYvDOBUptDp&index=2&t=749s
I then took what I learned from the video tutorials and traced the following images...

On Friday (9/9), I again practiced my gesture drawing game w/ the same intervals...

I tried tracing the anatomy of the body in some more dynamic poses and found it very difficult...

I then realized I was not imagining the shapes in 3D right (especially the torso), so I took a piece of paper out and drew Kuzomari's model while also using Marc's method of measuring the male and female proportions...

On Saturday (9/10), I resumed my gesture drawing practice and drew the same model that I drew on paper the day before but on my iPad...


When I finished drawing the model above, I had a realization of just how ill-prepared I am to draw the full, human anatomy, even if all I am drawing are shapes. I say this because I have a hard time drawing boxes from different perspectives which are the foundation to all kinds of shapes. A good example of what I should be focusing on is what Dan Beardshaw is doing from timestamp 2:00 through 4:42 ONLY in the following video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A5vg-jA_utE&list=PLh33PBNTMQJd3WE3q4djHolYvDOBUptDp&index=8&t=363s

Given all of this, here are my daily commitments for next week:
1. Practice line art for 30 minutes
2. Practice gesture drawing for another 30 minutes: https://quickposes.com/en
3. Draw male and female proportions from memory within 10 minutes each
4. Draw boxes in different perspective like Dan Beardshaw for 30 minutes
5. Start and finish watching "Term 1 - Perspective" (by the end of the week)

Sep '22

Wow ! That’ s a lot of work 😂
Your anatomy study and gesture drawing are improving a lot !
May be you could try to draw the basic shape using a reference and then check if it’s ok or not by moving it on top at the end :smile:
