Leonard Gauthier - ArtSchool Journey

Hello everyone, my name is Leonard, I am a 23 years old 3D Character Artist.
I've started the MB's ArtSchool a month ago and never find the time to create my own topic, so here it is
My goal is to switch career to work as a concept / illustration artist, feel free to give me feedback on my work if you have time for it, this will be super appreciated

Below this message I will put some of my works through the first month of my journey.

Some of my first month works from day one to now :

Here is my first day into Therm 2, those 3D basic shapes drawings really feels like a "dexterity check", I will need to do a lot more of these

Welcome Leonard, I like the Moco Museum.

Hi everyone, here is my work of today, finally getting into drawing full faces !
The one on the left is a redraw of Marc's drawing from the class, the right one is from photo reference !
Critics are welcome !

Today's faces
Not so happy with the first one, but this is a really fun exercise to do !

New day, new faces!
Trying to find my way with shading, this "cube brush" from the MB free pack is incredibly pleasant to use

My last portrait !
Feedbacks are welcome

Uh I really like her attitude

Thanks Julia

My first personal project since I've begun the Artschool, hope you like her

looks good. I found it helps maintain motivation to spruce a few in between assignments.

So pretty! Congrats! Is her hair "water-y" like (at least that's the vibe I'm getting, something like coming out of the ocean). Love the ballerina pose here, too.

leonard.gauthier 2021-04-26 08:46:47 UTC #17

Thank you! Yeah, she is kind of a water spirit with water hairs

here are some works I've done this week :

A "draw this in your style" from RossDraws's instagram page.

My 3 point perspective assignement.

Julia_J 2021-04-26 10:07:47 UTC #18

Uh!! I love that drawing
But not so sure about the colour choices, maybe they are a little bit too muted although the light seems to be quite strong?

HANDRO 2021-04-26 10:09:05 UTC #19

your perspective piece is turning out nicely. the colors really make it pop. your DIYT reminds me of rosalina as well. not sure if that was his inspiration when he drew the character.

leonard.gauthier 2021-04-27 18:32:13 UTC #20

Thank you Julia
Yeah I think you are right, I don't really know how colors work for the moment so I'm experimenting, trying to "feel the color", but I can't wait to do the color & light class
... Therm 4 is soo far haha
