Gregory - Art School Journey

Thank you @uggievang

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

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]

ooh rock mimic that's an interesting idea!

[gregorya]

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]

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]

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]

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]

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]

Thank you @mitsuki-youko I see that.

What I like to do is draw perfect circles like flat on the screen without perspective then use the perspective transform to get it to fit the perspective I want.

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]

Damn for 2 minutes those gestures look really good!

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

[gregorya]

Damn for 2 minutes those gestures look really good!

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

Nice work on perspectives too!

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.

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]

eyy nice work! keep it up

[daceronine]

Yo good work man. That Black Dynamit sketch looks nice.

[gregorya]

thank you @mitsuki-youko and @daceronine
Okay, here are my last 2-minute gesture drawings.

I did some 5-minute gesture drawings. I just focused on getting the poses right.

I'm getting closer to finishing my 1-point perspective assignment of a fantasy room I found this dragon bed on Pinterest and I wanted to make it accurate. I just have to go over it again to see if I missed anything.
Here's the reference:


I finished some more 5-minute gesture drawings over the week and shaded some of them.

[uggievang]

awesome gestures the feel very dynamic

[patrycja.lerch]

Nice work!

[daceronine]

The dragon bed is awesome! Though I'd probably bump my head into that dragon's face in the corner all the time and get my clothes stuck on his claw xD.

[gregorya]

Thank you @uggievang, @patrycja.lerch, and @daceronine

Though I'd probably bump my head into that dragon's face in the corner all the time and get my clothes stuck on his claw

Hmm, maybe I should make the bed a little bigger.

Here are some 2-minute gesture drawings. 7/16/2024

here are some primitive drawings. It's interesting to work on.

Most of my Photoshop brushes disappeared. I'm not sure what happened. I got most of them back, but I don't remember the order I put them. I'm doing some inking with some of the new brushes from Marc.
This is a work-in-progress ink or line art study

Here's an ink study of black dynamite characters. I'll have to work on the again.

Here's the reference:

[gregorya]

I've finished my study of the main characters from the show Black Dynamite season 2. It was interesting to work on the shading. It's a pretty funny show.

Here are some more gesture drawings for 2 minutes each.

Here are some more 5-minute Gesture drawings. I had some time left for shading some of the gestures to get the shadows.
