Character looks cool! I like the idea

Thank you @daceronine, @mitsuki-youko, and @patrycja.lerch

Here are some perspective assignments google "street perspective", and practice finding convergence lines, vanishing points, and the horizon. I also drew some boxes.

For this one, I just copied a thumbnail and drew the room behind the characters. It looks like a fun way to figure out the perspective.

I wanted to draw Eve from Steller Blade for the last page of my sketch book. I found an image on Pinterest with Bayonetta, Eve, and 2B. So I wanted to sketch it. I may have to try this again another time. Now I need a new sketchbook.

I fixed some details and decided to add some shading.

nice, nice! keep it up!

Thank you @mitsuki-youko.
I think this is the nude figure drawing assignment 5. "Practice drawing the male and female using the 8-head proportion grid until you can do it from memory."
That was pretty challenging to work on digitally.

I tried it traditionally, and it was a little less challenging.

Nice practices But in you last drawing you only make your drawings about 5 heads high when they should be around 8 making your characters look too short. That would work if you where drawing dwarfs tho

gregorya 2024-06-20 18:56:09 UTC #384

Thank you @uggievang

I see. I thought it was 8 heads high. This may require more practice.

More pictures for the perspective assignment. I looked for the horizon line in one and 2-point perspectives.

Here are some rough sketches I made. Perspective sketches and some monster ideas.
I was reminded recently that Star Wars: The High Republic existed and was reminded that this character named Geode existed.
Here he is in the back:

I had an idea that what if Geode is some kind of rock mimic instead of an actual rock? Maybe something like the weeping angels from Doctor Who that only move when you blink or if you can't see them. Then he reveals himself and attacks his enemies. Maybe even Plank from Ed, Edd, and Eddy was a mimic.

Oh damn that's last one is scary!

mitsuki-youko 2024-06-21 01:44:20 UTC #386

ooh rock mimic that's an interesting idea!

gregorya 2024-06-24 22:08:08 UTC #387

Thank you @daceronine. I found something like that on Pinterest and think that's what It could be like.
Thank you @mitsuki-youko I might develop that idea.
I did some more of the proportion exercises. The first one, I think I traced, then drew over it.

The other two, I did from memory after watching some tutorials

The last one was a quick drawing of it.

gregorya 2024-06-27 22:05:46 UTC #388

I did a fantasy sketch of a room from a one-point perspective.

I then reworked the sketch according to a one-point perspective grid. Here's what I have so far.

uggievang 2024-06-28 00:46:42 UTC #389

nice proportions look better. as for your linework on digital do you happen to have your sensitivity turned off? the line art seems to be super uniform and doesnt seem to fade . Having those turned on will help with verity and also when your sketching it makes it easier to read. If you do have them turned on I would suggest practicing more lines and line pressures.

gregorya 2024-06-28 21:19:56 UTC #390

Thank you @uggievang. I'm using a line tool to block out the blocky objects. For the brush, I only have pressure for size turned on. The airbrush and pressure opacity are turned off.

mitsuki-youko 2024-06-30 20:11:18 UTC #391

ooh pretty good perspective wise.

The circles seem to be slightly.. off?

What i like to do is draw perfect circles like flat on the screen without perspecitve then use the perspective transform to get it to fit the perspective i want. That way the circles are more uniform

gregorya 2024-07-04 16:55:21 UTC #392

Thank you @mitsuki-youko I see that.

Hmm, That might work.

I did some 2 Minute gesture drawings. It's interesting to darken lines and add details to the gestures.

One of the assignments was to draw convergence lines from a daily perspective.

daceronine 2024-07-04 18:45:54 UTC #393

Damn for 2 minutes those gestures look really good!

Nice work on perspectives too! what software do you use? are you using rulers?

gregorya 2024-07-04 21:43:24 UTC #394

Thank you @daceronine It's still an interesting challenge.

Thank you. I'm getting the hang of perspectives.
The software I use is Photoshop. I'm not sure how to use rulers in Photoshop. Instead, I use a line tool for the straight lines.

gregorya 2024-07-11 19:14:34 UTC #395

Here are some more 2 minute gesture drawings. A few more for the week.
Day 1:

Day 2:

This is from Day 3:

Day 4:

Day 5:

Day 6:

One of the studies I wanted to draw was the characters from Black Dynamite. I recently saw season two of the show and wanted to sketch them. From left to right: Bullhorn, Honey Bee, Black Dynamite, and Cream Corn. It would be interesting

mitsuki-youko 2024-07-13 17:46:30 UTC #396

eyy nice work! keep it up
