Joe - Art School Journey

joseph_k 2023-01-15 18:32:40 UTC #204

Here are my Faces for the Anatomy Post this week. I've decided to change the color coding aspect, and simply paint the background a specific color instead, which allows me to save a lot of time. Though the idea came to me as I was working, so that is why I've used the older method in the shorter time limits.

That is all for now. See you soon!

You’re a head pumping machine! XD

Great work

i Love this destiny piece and your drive to attempt a challenge. Keep up the good work.

Here are my Art Studies for the week ( Approx. 20 - 30+ Min. each ). Not too much to say for this week, just moving along and continuing to study and improve. Thank you for your feedback!

That is all for now. See you soon

The Emphasis for the fundamentals this week was Perspective. It will also be the emphasis next week, as I am looking to finish the 3-P Perspective assignment with this Canyon image below. Otherwise, there isn't that much to say for this week.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here is my Anatomy Update for the week. I'm feeling a little more comfortable observing the forms of the face and accurately creating them. Moving forward, I'll be changing things up to make it more complex / challenge myself. Quality linework will take time.

That is all for this week. See you soon!

Hey Joe! I'm loving the environment pieces, It looks like it's getting better. Keep up the good work.

Here are the Art Studies for the week. I feel I've gotten a bit better in my rendering and observation, and once again these skills will take time. CC ( i.e. Constructive Critique ) welcome!

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here are the Fundamentals for the week. I finished up the 3P Perspective Assignment ( a bridge overlooking a canyon ), experimented with some color palettes, and refined my gestures ( by slowing down and observing ). CC is appreciated!

That is all for now. See you soon!

And here we are, already at the end of January ( time flies... )! Here is my Anatomy update for the week. Not too much to say here, just slow improvement.

Each consecutive month this year, I'll be sure to reflect on the past month and make adjustments in order to improve for the next month. I may make either an individual post explaining my changes or add them in for the first post of the new month.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here are the Art Studies for the week. Here is my list of changes to my weekly updates:

- Art Studies: I will do my best to include all of my Art Studies on one page, and I will also be sure to take more time with each study. It'll be quality over quantity.

- Fundamentals: I will find ways to challenge myself with the fundamentals and take more time with them.

- Anatomy: I will begin to move away from drawing exactly from reference images and challenge myself to draw Anatomy from different angles ( i.e. reference turnarounds ) and imagination with little to no reference.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here are the Fundamentals for the week. I went for a longer gesture drawing, and tried out a Square color palette for the first time. Moving forward, I may try to create full scenes in Perspective instead of a few simple cubes, and use more challenging gesture references. There's always room for additional challenges!

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here is the Anatomy post for the week. I did a couple longer studies, and tried a couple turnarounds! I feel I am beginning to slowly get a good grasp on the forms of the face.

For the future, the 1-Min faces will likely be simple facial outlines ( trying to render anything more than that in such short a time is futile - that is for the longer times! ). And as for the imaginative faces, I can begin with drawing from reference and then making it my own.

Thank you for all of your previous feedback! That is all for now. See you soon!

Your studies are always awesome and you do so many, great job!
Do watch out for over hollowing the cheeks below the malar region. Usually there will be a fat pad there (bichat fat pad) and the volume of the masseter will usually make a diagonal volume that reaches the cygomatic arch

Cheers

I had a super fun Spider-Man drawing session today I wanted to share! All of these are based on screenshots from Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales. Feel free to share any thoughts!

Thank you for the previous feedback! I'll research your points so I can better understand how to construct the cheeks moving forward.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here are the Art Studies for the week. This time was all animal-based.

That is all for now. See you soon!

joseph_k 2023-02-13 05:26:46 UTC #220

Here are the updates for the Fundamentals and Anatomy this week. It is delayed due to me being sick this past week. While I wasn't able to get a lot done, here is what I created. I decided to experiment a bit with background gradients and a different subject for the Color Theory portion.

That is all for now. See you soon!

joseph_k 2023-02-18 06:16:54 UTC #221

Here are my Art Studies for the week. Not too much to say here, just some more animals.

That is all for now. See you soon!

joseph_k 2023-02-18 17:17:24 UTC #222

Here are the Fundamentals for the week! At this point I feel I've gotten into a good groove and made these posts ( and showing up each day to put in the work ) a real habit. Now it's time to make it stick moving forward! I feel my ART School practice will be something in constant change.

That is all for now. See you soon!

Here is the Anatomy post for the week! It feels a bit like I have been running in circles here and need to rethink my approach or rethink what I actually want to focus on. This could be things like observing the FORM of the face itself or having dedicated STUDIES of the face itself. I can't just do the same thing and expect to grow.

Also, I swear that time is just flying by! February is nearly over already ( really puts life in perspective I suppose, so I have to be sure I am using my time wisely and really focus )

That is all for now. See you soon!
