Gregory - Art School Journey

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.

[gregorya]

I've got the line art done, and I've got some of the shading completed. Just a few more details.

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh the perspective looks great so far!

[gregorya]

Thank you, @mitsuki-youko.
Here's a sketch of Rena Ryugu from Higurashi: When They Cry.

[gregorya]

It was Independence Day last week, so I wanted to sketch Kamen America saluting. Happy Independence Day.

I've been hearing about this show Iron Heart and watching reviews about it and it sounds like an interesting villain Origin story. Here's a sketch of the character Riri Williams. I'm thinking of drawing her as a demon girl.

For the three-point perspective castle, I did some more shading and lighting. I'm liking the results.

[gregorya]

I added some colors to the castle. I'm finally finished. The perspective was much more difficult than I thought.

I found the one I worked on 3 years ago on Google while I looked for imposing castle gates.

What do you think?

[Nosnibor]

Great work with the shading : )

Did you set up a horizon line with vanishing points and use the MB_Perspective.abr (vanishing point and convergent lines brush) provided with the course to set up some perspective guides when making these pieces? Like in the Term 2 - Perspective 2 lecture. I felt like this helped me a lot when doing this task as I found the perspective difficult as well

[gregorya]

Thank you, @Nosnibor. I'm glad to improve with the shading.

I set up three vanishing points using the brush. It was pretty helpful.

I sketched Keichi Membara from the series, Higurashi: When They Cry. I wanted to draw some of these characters when June comes around. I tried to get the pose right.

[gregorya]

Here's another sketch of my pirate idea. I adjusted the legs this time and did a rough sketch. I still need to work on the hands for line art.

I did a rough color blocking for my Riri Williams sketch. I wanted the colors to be similar to the Iron Heart poster. There's still much to do.

[gregorya]

I mostly did gesture drawings this week; here are some of them.
30-second gesture drawings.

1-minute gesture drawings here.

Here's a work in progress for my Iron Heart piece. I wanted to draw her with yellow eyes since *Spoilers * she makes a deal with Mephisto in the show. I want to paint some red light on her like a spot light. Are there critiques I should know?

[gregorya]

I think this is finished with this piece. I wanted to put her under a red spotlight. That's all for now.
