Gregory - Art School Journey

[kalienator]

Nice studies! I really like your 2 point perspective farm house and the DEA Agents you drew from an alternate angle. Do you prefer to draw traditionally or digitally?

[gregorya]

Thank you, @kalienator. I usually draw traditionally and a little digitally. I'm still learning more about drawing digitally. I'm trying to do a mix of both.

I had an idea of a dragon maid with an axe. And another rough idea of a scout. I just did a few ideas. I might refine them later. Which one do you like?

[gregorya]

Here are some more head studies:
Aira Shiratori from Dandadan, Shin and Noi without their masks from Dorohedoro, the smiling statue/ God Statue from Solo Leveling, and Tomie from Tomie.
From what I can gather, I still need to work on line weight. I think I have 3 more left.

Here's the last of my face studies.
Momo Ayase from Dandadan,
Marshall Cuso from Common Side Effects,
and Alan Wake from Alan Wake.

There's not much to post. I have gesture drawings for 30 seconds each and another one minute each.

[Nosnibor]

I like the style of your gesture drawings, I find them appealing to look at. Did you look at any resources outside of the lectures for them? I found this video very useful (it is 1 hour long though):

[gregorya]

Thank you, @Nosnibor. I did look for some resources for gesture drawings from Marc, Proko, and Reiq. I have Michael's book as well, but I didn't know he had a course on Proko's website. Thank you for the Link.
I did a face study combining 2 pictures I found.

I saw this movie, Sisu, and wanted to draw the main character as he was on the cover. It's a pretty entertaining movie.

Here are some faces from Imagination.

Here are some 5-minute gesture drawings. Some clothed, others nude. I haven't done this in a while, so I focused on the pose and anatomy.

For this one, it was the poses.

[gregorya]

Here are some more 5 Minute gesture drawings.
I also drew some more faces from imagination.

[gregorya]

One of the weekly study guides is studying 10 pictures from real photos, so I have done four face studies so far.

I did some more 5-minute gesture drawings.

For most of the gesture drawings, I had time to focus on the anatomy and shade them.

An hour of drawings, each 5 minutes.

Here are the Last Of the face studies 5-10.

[gregorya]

I did a mermaid sketch. It's a work in progress.

[gregorya]

Here's a work in Progress of my 3-point perspective castle. It's looking okay so far.

[gregorya]

I have some gesture drawings done. There isn't much today.

[gregorya]

Here's a sketch idea I had about a fist pirate girl while sketching a pose.

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh noice!

imo the legs are too unnaturally wide - i think the knees should be pointing forward more like this for example:

or this:

[gregorya]

Thank you, @mitsuki-youko. Unnaturally wide, you say? It might be the angle I chose. I didn't see that. Here's the reference:

I made some more progress on the castle. It's getting there.

[gregorya]

I found an old sketch I did of a nun holding an egg, so I wanted to sketch it again.

[mitsuki-youko]

Ahh i see!

Yea i think your upward curves are too.. upwards..?

Maybe overlay the sketch over the reference. and see if that helps!

[gregorya]

Upward curves? I'm not sure what you mean. Could you please explain?

Maybe overlay the sketch over the reference. And see if that helps!

That does sound useful. Thank you @mitsuki-youko
I did some gesture drawings and decided to sketch them.
