Very cool designs and awesome materials study! That skin suite study looks great! I really love your design work as well! Very interesting designs. Really great work! Keep it up!

Thank you @Lockenheim!

Workflow update.
As I was practicing and learning the basic aspects of how to draw mechs, I realize that my fundamentals when it comes to drawing basic shapes in 3D are very weak. It is something that I neglected just simply because I didn't find the idea of just randomly drawing shapes at different angles would benefit me that much.

I always thought that I'm missing something and after doing a little bit of research, I found videos w/ in-depth explanations on how to properly use and construct these said shapes in an open canvas.

You are doing a great job on the basic shapes in 3D studies. I'm doing the exact same thing everyday, its also a good warmup.
You probably already know about DrawABox, but just in case you dont, heres the recomendation.
Also, moderndayjames on youtube have a fantastic playlist on this very subject.

Keep the studies and keep improving.

Thank you, Dan! Moderndayjames is exactly whom I referring to when I talked about the resource I found on Youtube! Watching his videos cleared up most of the uncertainty on how to effectively use perspective in making art pieces! I genuinely found myself having a hard time on them right now, but I know for sure that doing these will only help me get better moving forward.

Learning basic form w/ intention p.3

This time I studied basic mechanical joints that are equivalent to human joints.

Love the render, love the character
Arms are a bit small in my point of view but you did great
10/10!!!

Thank you @000_peanut! Yeah, now that I looked at it again, the arms seem a bit small.

Portrait Study.

I like the painterly sensation that some of the hard edged brushstrokes give. The hue variation towards red/orange on her face (nose/cheeks) looks really nice and I think you could add some of that variation in the shadow areas (colllarbone/chest area) with reflected light.

Also, I believe her eye should be a bit lower - a good trick to check the eyes is to hide one of the eyes that look out of place with your hand and imagine where it should be, then you remove your hand, you can immediately spot the difference.
Good job overall, keep improving!!

Really fantastic work on these practices! I am very impressed by your twisted shapes and bending them in space. That is not an easy thing to do. Keep it up!

Apath 2022-05-21 10:28:26 UTC #100

Thank you @danilo_tedde for the feedback! In regards to adding some more hue variation in other places of the piece, I often tend to purposely negate some detail on areas where I don't want to emphasize that much attention. Though you're 100% right about it and it's something I should consider adding especially when it's just done for the study.

In regards to the eye, I'm not really sure so I'll send the reference photo for better comparison. Also that's a very helpful trick, thanks!

Lastly, as always, thank you @Lockenheim for being very active on pretty much everyone's progress! I cannot emphasize enough how your comments are helping me to push myself further when it comes to my studies. Also, I would like to apologize for the lack of involvement in your or other people's work, I'm not really that great nor confident when it comes to giving advice/feedback. Though it's something that I would try to work on in the near future.

Anatomy study.

Lockenheim 2022-05-21 12:47:21 UTC #102

I appreciate your kind words. I appreciate you telling me that they are helpful! I dont always know what to say, most here are beyond my skill so I like to give words of encouragement when I don't know what else to say. I know a kind word can go a long way. These anatomy studies are really great. Keep up the fanmtastic work!

danilo_tedde 2022-05-21 22:26:42 UTC #103

Oh, I think you are absolutely right on concealing some detail/information on certain areas (especially shadow areas).
Curiously today Marc posted a video where he talks about coloring and mentioned that color variation on the terminator.
Keep it up, the good studies!!

Some more personal art and Studies.

As per usual, critiques and feedbacks are more than welcome. :))

Some more render and figure studies I've been getting into lately.

My favorite is number 2! Nice work on the perspective on the shoe elipses!
