Jasmine - Art School Journey

[JimSt]

Great portraiture studies

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you!!

[jasminerosepowell]

Think I'm slowly getting better at gesture!

[daceronine]

Yo all these practices and pieces look great. Are you currently going through term 4 as well?

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you sm! I'm currently taking an analytical figure drawing course that has feedback form the instructor so i can understand my mistakes better but afterwards will revisit Art School with more confidence!

[Pattu_w]

Great work on those! Gestures looks quite fluid if that makes sense, my english sucks btw

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you so much!

[jasminerosepowell]

andddd we are doneee. i've not been in the mood to do any sort of concept art lately, so i've just been drawing in my sketchbook. (trying to remember how to draw traditionally as there is an art event in Berlin coming up and i need to mingle with other artists lol)

[jasminerosepowell]

opinions always welcomed. somehow the inspiration came to me from forcing myself to draw * closes ipad for another 2 weeks * I quite like designs A, C and G

[daceronine]

Looks good man. Curious about the character, she part of something you are building?

As for looks, I personally like the sassiness of D and H, and since her hair is her ability, kinda makes sense it's "bundled up" so she can unstring it as needed.

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you for the feedback! i defo like the hair that is in a bun too it would make for a more dramatic pose when it comes down

[mitsuki-youko]

F looks pretty cool too!

[alix28]

These look really good! I think C and D stand out more to me but I like all of them! You're so skilled at drawing expressions!

[jasminerosepowell]

@daceronine - sorry forgot to answer your Q, i'm just adding this character to my portfolio to showcase character designs. thought i was thinking maybe to link her to the previous character i created (the one with blue hair) as some companies like to look at projects
@mitsuki-youko thank you!!
@alix28 thank you so much! haha i think taking a character design course really helped me with expressions so i just try to exaggerate as much as i can

[daceronine]

Oy, so it's for your portfolio, to eventually get work in the industry. Perfectly valid. I asked as it helps us to see the work from that perspective, not just that it looks good (they do look good), but to try to provide feedback as a company would.

For example, if it was for animation or comic, I'd say these work great (they were inspired by animation xD), but if it was for a game, I definetly prefer the ones with the buns up as it would provide a clear indication of the character stance (combat vs non-combat)

Looking forward for more!

[jasminerosepowell]

Does anyone know of any good websites for clothes ref of models actually moving? I find anatomy of clothing easier when they're stood still but the moment a character moves i feel i don't have enough ref. I usually look on Pinterest but wondering if there is anywhere better

Also welcome to any sort of feedback for these poses and the clothes. this is a rough version then i need to go in again and fix things

[daceronine]

These look good to me, but I also struggle with clothes in general.

As for references, I usually just google any specific cloth or pose I'm looking for, or sometimes pose it myself and take a photo, if only to use as a reference (and then delete it before anyone sees it). I don't have a wide wardrobe, but I'll take a towel or something that is close enough.

The discord however, has a channel specifically for cloth references with TONS of sources, examples and even videos.

[jasminerosepowell]

Ooh thank you for the feedback and I'll have to have a look at the discord

[mitsuki-youko]

i think the clothes look great!

[jasminerosepowell]

i really have not been drawing AT ALL. Anyways, 100 yrs later and i've added to this for my final concept for this character i want to draw some scenary and a pink pond/lake where he mixes these potion ingredients. But since i hate drawing environments it could take me all year. So yeah (knowing me i will probably change how this page looks but this is the first draft ig)
