Thanks a lot!

I really needed to do more construction, I still have problems with the side view of the eye but I just need to deconstruct some more pictures and they will look better.

I got the idea from Angel Ganev on YT, he talks about a lot of thinks you need to look out for, extremely helpful.

Really like Angel's vids to bad he doesn't make them anymore! Nice to see someone talk about structure and form instead of quick tips.

Eyes again for this week.
The last page is one set of many where I go over every angle of the eye.
After that I'm gonna go over the nose and mouth again.

Nice day/night to you all!

whoa thats some amazing perspective!

The eyes construction studies are fantastic. You improved A LOT!
Defining the planes helps so much. Eventually, when you study the planes of all the face features and add all together on the head its gonna look great. Cant wait to see more. Keep going!

Dang these are really coming together Luke! Great work keep it up!

Just wanted to post this little illustration I did in 3 Hours over 2 days, for the time invested I think it looks pretty nice.

I actually decided to print it on A2 size which will be my first ever poster with my own art on it.

First week of lips is going great, relying more on negative space in some parts.
Did some aerial perspective art too.
I also did a recap of Color Theory, feel free to use it if it helps you ^^

Lovely study, I especially love the city of lines piece. The colors turned out so well. I am not familiar with colors but I find that really pleasing to look at. Great job with the lip studies and congrats on your first ever poster art!

Love the colours of the cityscape @luke.buersgens. The lightening of the values as you transition to the background gives it such depth, and your line art is clean af haha. Good work.

danilo_tedde 2022-05-19 09:16:29 UTC #93

City piece looks so cozy, great job.
But what really got my attention was how well you used the line weight to draw the mouths with the least amount of lines - its direct, simple and clean. Great study!!

@Lockenheim @alwaysneedsleep @danilo_tedde thank you so much, I'm glad you all liked it.

Over a week now since I last posted, but I wanted to make sure the pages are finished before posting.
I'm gonna go over noses again this week and next.

Also little dumbbell illustration, it's time to get in shape for summer ^^

Lockenheim 2022-05-28 19:24:36 UTC #95

Greaty studies Luke! I really love the different shapes of the lips!

luke.buersgens 2022-06-08 08:41:24 UTC #96

@Lockenheim thank you!

Nose Page done.
Didn't post last week because the page wasn't done and I was outside more often than usual.
Kinda wanna move to the full heads again, definitely have more experience now!

Next week there will most likely be no post because of the preperations I do for the vacation.

Lukiesartventure 2022-06-27 11:41:32 UTC #97

These noses look great! Definitely move on to o the whole face

luke.buersgens 2022-08-10 07:43:43 UTC #98

I'm back!

Been a relatively long time since I last posted something, vacation and holidays were great and a much needed pause from all the things going on.
That said, I can't wait to get back to drawing.

I'm just gonna post some things I did randomly to flesh out this forum post.

Did this one before vacation and after all the facial feature studies.

Lockenheim 2022-08-13 16:30:19 UTC #99

Wow these are really fantastic! I love the perspective work!

luke.buersgens 2022-08-29 08:35:33 UTC #100

Thank you @Lockenheim!
These Comments really do keep me going ^^

So back again at the studies.
I tried my best to render it realistic this time but the face features would take a really really long time with a lot of color picking.
So I decided to not post it here because it looks kinda bad and unfinished.....but the other things that are here look pretty good I think.

Next two Illustration's are Designs for my new Shop on Redbubble!
Yeah I decided to branch out a bit and keep me busy outside of studying.
So if anyone is interested in these two or even future designs I'm gonna put a link:
Shop

Thank you guys so much for making all of this possible!!!! <3
Hoping for a great rest of the year for all of you.
