Inkpendude - My Art Journey (TERM 3)

[gregorya]

You have made some great strides in your work. I like your fabric studies and portrait studies.
If you want some help with the environments, you can use some more perspective lines.

[queeniemp]

Personally I think the environment and your lineart is great although if your line quality is really bugging you, you could try studying pen and ink drawings or the lineart style of other artists. It helps to see how others do it and then apply what you learn in your own work

Duude, I'm a little late to reply to this one as life has had me way too busy for my own good, but man, gotta reply

First off, I was told very early on that art is a bit of an emotional rollercoaster so I guess it's kinda normal for anyone doing art to second guess themselves now and then. Sanest thing I think is to acknowledge it, learn from whatever constructive self criticisms you may have and move on - keep creating. Also, that drawing doesn't suck XD

Getting some serious islamic ruins with scifi or mysterious fantasy vibes from this architecture.

You're doing a lot of awesome work! I wish I had your level of motivation to do anything perspective related. XD

cheers

K enough with the self pity, here's some random stuff I have done the past days that I'm HAPPY with the results. not much to add for now.

Didn't even bother to draw a hand so I just drew a hook for now.

Great work! Buildings look really good. I like the hook instead of hand

[mitsuki-youko]

brooooo this looks SO good! i esp love the blue lighting on the guy

[catsforsnacks]

Your buildings look sick dude!
How do you get those lines so clean? Are you shift+clicking or do you just have perfect pen control?

[snakker]

Hey that's some really clean work, very nice!

[Inkpendude]

Are you shift+clicking or do you just have perfect pen control?

I do the shiftclick thing a few times, but I a lot of them I do them myself. I wouldn't say its perfect, but pretty good.
I think since I did the draw a box challenge a while ago, there was that thing called ghosting the lines, and also a few exercises for warm up that consist in drawing straight lines from point A to point B. I got really good at that I guess.

[chomper2010]

Wow! These are really nice studies. I really enjoy how you draw and render your forms, you always get so much dynamism in them. The portraits are coming along nicely too and I really like the facial expressions you were experimenting with. Absolutely love your perspective work, and how you add texture and details to your drawings. They're so simple but they add so much to the vibe of your buildings and your perspective and concepts are really nice. Seems like they are straight out of a still of a show or something.

Really awesome work as always! Keep it up!

[Inkpendude]

Thank you thank you! yeah I've trying to gain a lot of experience with each drawing/study/sketch, I'm glad it's noticeable

ref, I had fun going in a completly different direction.

Also, I "Recorded" a timelapse, but I can post videos here. Does anyone know of a different option? Maybe I could transform a video into a gif, but I would't know how to do it

[mitsuki-youko]

you can just google "convert video to gif"
I use this one if the vid is short: https://www.freeconvert.com/mp4-to-wav

if its long i post it on youtube but keep it as unlisted cus i dont want it to show up in my video selection but still wanna share it and then post the link here and it will auto embed it

[Inkpendude]

Oohh good idea with the youtube video! I thought that if it was unlisted you couldn't share it lol. Thanks a lot!

[Gordon003]

Depends on why you want to post your video for. Is it to showcase your skill or to show your drawing process to show other people how you draw?

For example, I post weekly YT video in real time speed to show my drawing process.

eyy gave u a sub @Gordon003

[Inkpendude]

Drawings and studies from this last week of July.

Really proud of this one, I wasn't really trying with the skin color, but I turned out pretty nice.

And two of my recent timelapses that you can record with Clip studio. I still haven't reached my goal with the line quality when doing enviroments, and I still struggle with some of the minor details of arquitecture etc. But I'm getting close. Next month I wanna leave enviroments a side for a little while, and focus on construction drawing and anatomy. so much to do, so little time.

[mitsuki-youko]

YOOO I am LOVING your folds!! they look so good!

I also rly like how u shaded ur building!

[Inkpendude]

Thanks!! I think the trick is knowing how to simplifying them instead of drawing every detail.

[patrycja.lerch]

I like the way you draw eyes. And this lineart is soo good!
