Great work! Shading looks nice

mitsuki-youko 2024-07-27 00:24:59 UTC #406

ooh that shading looks real nice!

Thank you @daceronine, @patrycja.lerch and @mitsuki-youko
I did some figure drawings traditionally.

I thought of sketching some figure drawings in one sheet to see what it would look like.

Here's a sketch of Jak and Daxter from I think Jak 3 or Jak 2. That was one of my favorite series growing up.

I thought about what @daceronine said about the bed and I made it a little longer and adjusted the room a little bit. Then I did some shading and lighting.

these look great!!

patrycja.lerch 2024-07-30 12:16:32 UTC #409

Great work!

Thank you @daceronine, @patrycja.lerch and @mitsuki-youko. The shading was the fun part.
The next thing on the study guide was 2-minute gesture drawings. So here are some.

There are also some 5-minute gesture drawings as well.

I finished my line art study of Jak and Daxter from Jak 2. I think I have one more study left.

Here's the reference from Bob Rafel.

Here are some more 2-minute gesture drawings.

Another study I'm working on is the characters from the series Higurashi: When They Cry. This is from the artist Karin Suzuragi. It's the characters in the group shot. I think this is from the atonement arc.

Here's the line art study. I think I need to work on this again.

Here's the reference image:

Yo good work man! Never seen or heard of the series but I already like that artwork!

gregorya 2024-08-08 23:30:45 UTC #414

Thank you @daceronine If I remember correctly, It's a psychological horror series. It has a manga, a visual novel, and an anime. I've only read most of the manga. I recommend it if you like that kind of thing.
I think the writer of that series is working on a new Silent Hill game.

Here are some more 2 Minute gesture drawings. I thought I do some more until the end of the week or until the next part of the study guide. I think I'm getting faster doing these.

I did an environmental study of one of Loish's artworks

I have some more gesture drawings 2 minutes each. Some of these, I Proko's gesture drawing site.

I tightened up the pencils on the trees and I shaded the background so the trees could stand out.
In the reference, the trees are darkened while the background is lighter. Underwater trees look interesting.

Nice I like the gesture drawings. One tip I would like to point out I think it would be more beneficial to draw more nude figures. when the picture has clothing you usually tend to focus too much on that and the clothing and lose sight of the form of the body. 2 mins is not a whole lot of time so drawing clothing can eat away at your time. other than that your figures do have a very nice flow to them

gregorya 2024-08-15 17:04:09 UTC #417

Thank you @uggievang.
Nude figures I can't always draw some times. and other times I set the gestures to both nude and clothed, so the images vary somtimes. I'll see if I can work on that in the future.

Here's some more gesture drawings I've worked on. Both nude and clothed figures.

I did a environmental study from trent kanugia's work. It was a paint over study of a pokemon game. I wanted to do this on paper. He took a screenshot of a pokemon game and did a paintover on the environment.

Here's the reference and his reference:

I have some more gesture drawings 2 minutes each. I focused on the pose and anatomy making sure I got it accurate.

I shading some more of the study. I just shaded the shadows I was able to find. The light source is in the background making the shadows in the foreground are much darker. He also has lots of details on the rocks and stumps. I've been wondering, Am I supposed to ink the study as well?

daceronine 2024-08-20 22:42:14 UTC #419

It's all good practice man!

I don't think it's a requirement to ink, but many of us like to use these oportunities to refine our other art skills. So pretty much ink it if you feel like it, if not, that's fine as well.
Inking does help focus on the main lines for clarity though.

gregorya 2024-08-22 16:30:35 UTC #420

Thank you @daceronine I'll continue inking my studies.

I made some 2-minute gesture drawings.

I inked my study from Loish. I made sure to darken the background to make the trees visible.

gregorya 2024-08-26 22:29:25 UTC #421

I have the last of the 2-minute gesture drawings

My first sketch attempt at the 2-point perspective assignment. You need 3 buildings at most. I didn't like this one, so I tried again.

Here's my other sketch attempt at a 2-point perspective. My second attempt. I'm thinking of 3 buildings and then 3 destroyed buildings

I finished my ink study from Trent Kanugia. Wanted to shade the shadows.

You're really grinding out there! That last piece does look a lot better once inked. And it seems you're starting to get a good handle on perspective fundamentals. I'd recommend trying it out when you do some other pieces, try to find where the horizon is and try to follow the lines the perspective creates. It's rough, like anything "new", but with practice it gets easier.

gregorya 2024-08-30 22:09:47 UTC #423

Thank you @daceronine I'll try out looking at the horizon pieces in the future.

Here's another environmental study from the artist, Demizu Posuka. She's the artist of the series The Promised Neverland. It is a bit of a challenge.

mitsuki-youko 2024-08-31 01:36:49 UTC #424

awe yea, great study! that is a lot of detail!
