today's work

[francydah2005]

today's work. i decided to implement fundamentals in my daily schedule to get better faster. today i focused on structure and i continued the character. i hope to finish the character tomorrow but i'm not sure if I have enough time

[francydah2005]

todays and yesterdays work

[mitsuki-youko]

this looks AMAZING!!

your lineart is so neat and your color scheme is so pretty!

[francydah2005]

thank you very much, i played a lot with the color to get the right combo in that piece so i' m happy it turned out good. today i didn't watched the prop design lesson so i did not had much time to draw, but i managed to study some props from artists i like

Holy crap, good job on that rendering

today's work

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh good stuff!

[francydah2005]

today i didn't draw much, but at least i spent an hour studying female torsos. since i usually draw male character I feel like i could improve a lot here so i'm open to feedbacks. also i played around a bit with proportion to make it a bit more stilized, or at least I tried

[francydah2005]

today's and yesterday's work, i would really need a help with the back

[francydah2005]

i changed some things and put more work into it. currently it's like this

[francydah2005]

yesterday i worked on a lineup for my second population, the invader one, and today I did a study of trant kaniugas brushwork and basically a roadmap of the fundamentals i have to improve based on the kind of stile I like

[francydah2005]

hey guys I really need a feedback on today's practice: the problems is that I can't figure out Trents style. he has a very particular and distinctive style and when I tried to adopt it, on the left figure of the lineup, things just seems cartony. I think it may be my brain switching to 2d and of course the fact that he has far far more experience but it would still really help if some of you would help me get on the right track. i passed the rest of the drawing session practicing brush control and brushwork.

You can try doing some copies of Trent's work. He has timelapses in his videos so you can see his process and slow it down if needed. Maybe trying this style on simpler things first could help

He adjust colors with tone curves and other sliders but this takes a while to get used to it. A lot of color picking to get transitions right with a smaller brush as it goes to more detailed parts

[francydah2005]

i've seen the reply after I finished drawing so today i couldn't apply it but monday i'll try. Anyway i did a further breakdown of trents style and realised i was really lacking gradients and precision in shape design since i usually use softer shapes. I definitely got to manage both of these to understand it properly and that was today's work.

[francydah2005]

today's work : did a 2 and a half hours study from one of trents illustrations and finished another character from the lakstanian lineup i'm open to feedbacks on both

[mitsuki-youko]

these look great!
