The head studies are pretty great. The anatomy studies as well. The head rotations and lines make it pretty 3-dimensional.
I didn't have a ton of time today so I did a little bit of gradient blending practice.
Some ear studies with some quick shading. I also tried to apply a few contour lines to show the forms.
Great Studies so far. Keep it up.
Trying to break down the structure of the nose with some draw overs. I also tried coloring the different sections in with a different color.
Nice work mate!
keep at it
Breaking down the nose studies by drawing over them is a great idea.
My progress has been a bit slow lately and I hope I can get more study time in this week. Here are some more nose studies. Structure rough in + some shading.
I'm trying to think of everything as a 3D volume these days and think about the contour lines going across the form when I sketch.
Yeah, it was pretty helpful. I think I will also do it for the mouth before I attempt to draw those.

Some lip studies. I could have spent time and done more realistic rendering but didn't feel like it was worth it so I just quickly laid in some values under the line art again while zoomed out. Things were busy again this week with work so I didn't make as much progress with my studies as I would have liked. I guess eyes are next.

I have been playing a lot of Infinity Nikki lately and for the box cover, I decided to make a new treatment for the Infinity Nikki logo and imagine what a physical box for the game might look like if they sold physical copies of it. I staged the whole thing in a marketing banner design and photoshopped different imagery together to make it look nicer.
The lip studies look good. The Infinity Nikki box looks adorable. Normally the E rating is on the front or back of the game box. I'm not sure if it's on the side.

Work got extremely busy again and I completely fell off the wagon with my practices. Balancing life, work and practicing art is a real struggle for me at times and It makes me feel bad because I had such a good momentum going too. I made a little chain and fence brush tonight which was all I could fit in for today. Hopefully this small step will kickstart me to continue again.
I also made an ugly character in photoshop with the pen tools. There's a reason why graphic designers use illustrator instead of photoshop for vectors. lol I guess I can say I tried the tools and don’t like them.
Notes from the 3 point perspective lesson. I started on some eye studies as well but haven't shaded them in yet. Glad I was able to make a little bit of progress this week after being away for a while.
I really like the clear planes you're using in this, especially in the nose section. I always overwork that, making it look too blocky.
I drew some boxes on the 5 point grid.
I'm still struggling with daily practice. Sometimes it's a fight with myself to get going but once I get going then it's much easier. Just starting is the hardest part for me. Especially when I am already feeling burnt out with everything else that's going on in my life.
Even one small thing a day is better than nothing at all though.
I tried the man in 4 point perspective. This was turning out soooooo wonky looking while I was working on it that I burst out laughing because he was so wide! I must have gotten the initial measuring proportion off, so i slimmed him down by squishing the art horizontally. I also had to go back and adjust the head since it was super tiny compared to the rest of the body. I think it turned out ok in the end, but don't think I am ready to attempt more of this just yet on my own.
