Gee - Art School Journey

[geeartss]

yee, i actually tried that, but looking at references i felt like leather jackets usually hold higher from behind so the back part wouldnt be seen and dont really have a curve on the sides, so i didnt go with it
other than that i think it might be the bottom corners and the zipper curve that follows his body that throws it off?

Portrait Practice - Finished

heyhey, i finally finished filling the sheet with portraits : D

i drew a portrait almost every week starting from november, so the 1st and 20th are drawn using the same reference with almost a half a year gap
i changed my drawing progress starting from the 18th portrait which i think u can see pretty well xd, i stopped using multiple layers and only sketched the main
shapes instead of doing line drawings, i like the process and the result way more now : )

Term 6 - Color & Light Theory - Assignments

heey
finished the color and light theory assignments, i really enjoy using colour now, never would have thought xd

with these next ones i changed my brush a bit and that helped a lot with getting sum interesting looking colors without having to overthink them, painting on a single layer without line drawing made me progress faster aswell

was my first time working with light and color simultaneously without blocking in the main shadowshapes etc, so its not too clean, i fixed that a bit on the next one tho

and ye ik, mushrooms with legs are a bit weird but hey they were fun to paint xd

surprised myself a bit with this one : )

[mitsuki-youko]

these look great! i love how you did the lighting on the last one! and those mushroom ppl are cool!

Practice

just dumping some practice pieces ive done separate from art school in the last 4ish months

Term 6 - Composition & Storytelling - Assignment 1

hey
never thought id have to do 7 paintings for a single assignment xd
anyways these are all not too finished and done in like 0,5-2hrs, didnt use references either, doing 7 of them still took time tho
also i took inspiration from Marcs small example paintings from the lesson video for all of them







was fun messing around a bit, not caring too much about how clean or correct the finished painting would be, am exited to put a bit more effort into my next piece tho : )

[mitsuki-youko]

WOW These are Amazing!! it looks like you put so much effort into each of these! great job!

only critique i have is for the 2nd pic the arm holding the stick looks a bit too stiff, maybe a slight bend would make it look better

[Lockenheim]

These paintings are all very interesting! Really nice job!

[geeartss]

Term 6 - Composition & Storytelling - Assignment 2 (kinda)

heeeeey long time again. had an exam and injured myself and then suddenly had too much free time so all i did was sleep but i finally finished sum xd
i didnt fix the composition of an old piece (i started to actually but then realized i dont like full body action shots or whatever that was and decided to just not finish heh) but i did try to think about composition when drawing this, also tried a colour combination i wasnt sure would work, im kinda happy w the piece tho : )

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh this is soo good!! i love the contrast and how dynamic this is!!

also is it medusa month or something XD i keep seeing ppl post medusa all of a sudden, not that there's anything wrong with that haha

had an exam and injured myself

oh noes! hope u are feeling better

[geeartss]

Term 6 - Mech Design

not my best i think but i gave myself a week to finish and i ofc slept instead of drawing multiple days but i finished somewhat xd
i do want to design a cool mech at some point tho, might do that one traditionally

oh also a quick environment study i kinda like

[mitsuki-youko]

i like your environment drawing! it looks so peaceful

[olashamala]

You made me miss snow with this drawing

[phamster345]

I liked how you simplified and blocked in your values for your environment study. They help solidify your sense of form and volume in your painting.

[geeartss]

Term 7 - Materials

heeey materials study, metals are difficult TT

and a painting i did, but i might redo it as i didnt really use too much of that knowledge i gained from the material study

and some studies including a horrible quick portrait, but i think that if i can paint freely like this i can now try a more refined style again without getting too stuck on the painting, as that was one of my main problems : )

[mitsuki-youko]

OOOH these material studies look amazing!

the lake/pond is a bit too white imo, which makes it look more like snow than a reflection (unless thats fog) but otherwise still looks nice

the portrait looks amazing as well!

[Norma]

I like the last sketch. The chara has an Adam's apple. Did you intentionally draw a person between genders?

[geeartss]

haha i didnt even notice, it was an accident, tbh i dont know why i drew it like that, the reference doesnt have one xd

[geeartss]

changed my workflow, not too sure if its better or worse, but i can add more details and its easier for me to focus on light theory and anatomy for example without getting too stuck on the painting and still feeling "free"

[Gordon003]

Do you mind if you can expand more in your workflow and what changes you made and why? Maybe other people can offer you tips to help you experiment around.
