Gregory - Art School Journey

[gregorya]

Arttrober day 25 is Fay Valentine from Cowboy Bebop. Inktober day 25 is Inferno. So I drew her in a dress with flame patterns. An inferno dress, if you will.

[gregorya]

Arttober day 26 is the Sorceress from He-Man, and Inktober day 26 is Puzzling. So I drew her with a puzzle background. This was pretty fun to draw.

[gregorya]

Arttober Day 27 is Princess Daisy from the Super Mario series, and Day 27 of Inktober is Onion. I drew her in a kitchen, chopping onions.

[gregorya]

Day 28 of Arttrober is Sirene from Devilman, and Inktober Day 28 is Skeletal. So I drew her on a throne made of Skeletons and angels. I guess that she's the villain in Devilman and Devilman Crybaby.

Arttrober day 29 is Mary Marvel. I think she's Captain Marvel's stepsister. Inktober day 29 prompt is Lesson. Here she is teaching a lesson to students. It was a pretty simple idea.

Arttober Day 30 is Regina from Dino Crisis, and Inktober Day 30 is Vacant. Here she is in a supposedly vacant building. But found a T. rex instead.

[gregorya]

Day 31 of Arttrober is a personal choice, and Inktober day 31 prompt is Award. I thought about drawing Denji from Chainsaw Man as a trophy. I've finally finished the challenge.

Happy New Year, everyone.
Here's a portrait I painted in December of a sketch I drew in March. I didn't like what I did, so I tried again.

This is my retry. It's a very rough sketch I made by tracing some pictures into one and sketching over them. It's my first sketch of the year.

[gregorya]

Here's a refined sketch.

[gregorya]

This is the progress I have so far. I'm having a bit of a challenge with the hair. It seems okay, so far.

I added some lighting to the picture.

[gregorya]

I finished the portrait based on some references and on the Term 2 task.
"Draw or paint a fantasy creature/monster portrait from imagination (but don’t hesitate
to use various photo references to help if needed.)"
I drew the background with random colors.
Are there ways I can improve?

[gregorya]

I did a Portrait study and the process. I'm beginning to notice that painting over gray mutes the colors.

Here's a process.

[gregorya]

Here are some more portrait studies. Here's a quick sketch and a quick painting.

[gregorya]

This is a portrait study with some lighting. How can I work on the lighting for the hair?

[gregorya]

Here's a portrait study of a Yakshimi. I also wanted to study the colors, pose, and anatomy.

[Nosnibor]

Nice work : ) Which term are you currently up too in the art course?

[gregorya]

Thank you, @Nosnibor. I was a term 4 when I decided to restart the course. Then I got stuck on term 2 with the study guide. I'm on the last 2 parts of the term 2 study guide for a while, but haven't finished that part yet. I think the last thing I need to do is make another self portrait and review my progress. I hope that makes sense.

I haven't posted in almost two weeks now, wow.
Here are some sketches I worked on in December. Santa Claus and Ms. Claus. For Santa, I based him off an images of Carol of The Bells by Samuel Kim. I might work on this one, or wait until December. For Mr and Mrs. Claus

For Ms. Claus, I wanted to draw her in a simple Christmas dress.

That's about it for now.

[gregorya]

I sketched some characters from the Hollow Knight series from references I found a while ago. I also did some shading, which I haven't tried in a while. The character on the left was the last sketch in my old sketchbook.
And the one on the right is the first one from my new sketchbook.

[gregorya]

Here are some portrait sketches and thumbnail sketches.

I thought about combining characters from Elio and Dune. I'm not sure how to combine the worms, though.

[gregorya]

Here's a elf-girl sketch of a character I'm thinking of.
