Jasmine - Art School Journey

Changed his hairstyle to match more closely with his original design, so his hair has a softer appearance to match him more.

slowly getting through this character design and i am beginning to work on her powers, Wen uses her hair as her main weapon. feeling a lot more motivated with my art as i'm in bali and the art community here is so caring and genuine not like my experiences in the uk. So i want to work harder to never have to live in england again haha (i didn't know such kindness and culture existed, literally within every community it's just so lovely here and people are living their lives instead of obsessing about the corporate ladder)

[jasminerosepowell]

thank you!! at that point i was mainly focusing on his silhouette looking dynamic than taking into consideration his personality, though some character designs do challenge shape language

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh i really like the designs

i'm in bali and the art community here is so caring and genuine not like my experiences in the uk

Oooh are you there for school or some kinda special art program?

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you! & i'm just here on holiday but i have an art friend out here who introduced me to some other artists then from there i've found more groups of mainly indonesians and a few other tourists. The community seems really connected an uplifting here

did some portrait practice colour blocking practice in the artwod course

[jasminerosepowell]

I follow a few of you guys on instagram and im so inspired by the colour studies i see. Plus trying to soak up my last few days of motivation in bali since i'll be heading back to the land of grey (aka england). I am more confident with my linework for sure as i rarely properly study rendering plus there is more to it when you render cos of colour theory etc..

so by the time i get to this point im super confused, i want my rendering to look sculpture like/oil painting but digital.
i really want my rendering to look like Sinix design (on YT and Insta) here is his work:

Oooh that looks good! The pink haired girl drawing is very impressive with all the details. You can certainly notice the influence of Sinix with the brushwork, strong forms and removal of lineart.

Doing master studies is usually a good way to try to break down and emulate what other artists do, but it looks to me like you're on the right track there!

[snakker]

Nice! I also like sinix design's stuff, some of his videos were deeply inspiring for the way I look at painting.

I really like the overall result of your color study. As for observations, I think it could do with a touch more contrast or maybe darker individual shadows at the forehead area. Also, the brush work and edges used for the shadows around the lighter part of the neck make it almos look like the area is bulging in my eyes

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you!!

[jasminerosepowell]

Thank you for the feedback!

[jasminerosepowell]

finished study. it was about time i moved onto something else

[daceronine]

I see a few refinements, though it seems to be iterative. Great piece, it looks REALLY nice!

[snakker]

Nice work! It's really pleasing to look at and I really like the use of bold saturated colors and the varied rendering, from more flowey to more detailed in parts.

[mitsuki-youko]

oooh that is the most cyberpunk looking art without intentionally being cyberpunk XD

[jasminerosepowell]

@daceronine @snakker thanks everyone

@mitsuki-youko hehe thank you! i love cyberpunk style

[jasminerosepowell]

hope everyone has a decent new year! i got back to the uk about a month ago from being abroad so been busy finding a job and place to live again. now im settled i can get back into art. really trying to focus on finding other areas of art that im interested in such as illustration and just creating fun things in my sketchbook.

ironically the better my skills become the less creative i was being because before doing something i always ask ''will this work? what about the composition? etc...'' rather than actually just drawing/painting, so trying to find that joy again and have no pressure on becoming a professional artist within a certain timeframe cause that's not fun for me so im learning watercolour and trying to improve anatomy at the moment

[mitsuki-youko]

Woah these look so good! glad to see you are now back to finding your love for art again without all that pressure

[jasminerosepowell]

Guys! long time no see - I've been busy with work, life and keeping up with drawing. I was accepted onto INPRNT: https://www.inprnt.com/gallery/jasroseart/ so thats fun so i can start selling prints tehe. I will never be able to stop talking about how much being in Bali, Ubud changed my perspective on how i view my creativity and just being genuine and kind to myself when creating.

[jasminerosepowell]

since i'm trying to get my traditional skills at the same level as my digital. i am trying out character design concepts in my sketchbook. i really like the design in the top left but wanted to come up with some other ideations but i still love the original.
