Looks great!
Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.2k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.4k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.0k
Realy nice ^^19 days later
I finally finished my 1-point perspective... I ended up spending way more time on it that I meant to. I was having too much fun adding all the details to this. I will try not to make my 2-point so complicated because now I'm getting impatient to move on to the figure drawings!
Love this 🤩 So much detail, there is even a second tiny little ship 😆
I had to add something there lol, that empty space in the open window was bothering me >.<
The amount of time and effort put into this piece is apparent, you did a really fantastic job with this!
13 days later
Well I lied a little bit, I ended up making my 2-point pretty detailed as well, and I did a small extracurricular concept exercise for it too... I think with these I may have been doing some subconscious procrastinating, technical things have always been my artistic comfort zone and I've always had some fear of drawing people, but it looks like there's finally nothing left for me to do but start the figure drawing!
Great work so far and I definitely understand that sentiment about technical things versus drawing people. I think it's because technical things tend to be uniformed and easy with straight or simple lines. On the other hand, people are far from uniformed and that can be nerve racking at the start!
Thanks and that's definitely true. Also it seems like to me there are almost intangible qualities that make good drawings of people/characters feel alive... so far so many of my attempts have just felt wooden and I just have so much trouble getting that alive feel... this is something I'm hoping to learn!
Thanks @marco_cprn97 !
I'm just getting started with the figure drawing but I figured I'd post what I have so far to see if there are any glaring problems before I keep going. I realized I probably drew too many things over my first round, it turned out a bit messy. I also realized the references I picked may be making it harder... it seems like these exercises are easier to do when the limbs don't overlap:
Yes it' simpler to draw figures without overlapping limbs, maybe it's better to start with simpler poses and then move to complicated ones. You still did a pretty good job! Your analysis of the limbs with the use of cylinders is on point too and they're in the right perspetctive. I think it's a pretty good job overall.
Here's my initial proportions and gesture stuff... well sort of initial, my very first 30 sec gestures were so messy most of them just looked like random scribbles >.< I think I started getting the hang of it after a few pages. working with a 30 second timer was harder than I expected though!
For the start these gestures already look nice and clean. You only used few lines which is also very good 👍
If you feel a bit to overwhelmed tho, just try some 60 sec gestures. Will make it a bit easier ^.^
Thanks! I just thought I'd stick with 30 seconds at first, I guess I'm just the type that always likes to play games in hard mode, even if I keep dying all the time
I'm not sure there's an art equivalent to dying all the time in video games lol, but I am enjoying it and I feel like I'm learning a lot, even if it is a bit stressful.
These proportion exercises are looking great, the female proportions are very aesthetic. Keep it up!
Thanks for the feedback! For those proportions I mostly tried to copy Marc from the video, these are the first ones I tried from memory:
And some 1-minute gestures:
I ran out of space for some of these, and on my last ones too. I think the ones that turned out better are where I remembered the lesson of the proportions exercise and started with the head.
I think I'll try the last figure exercise a few times and then start Term 2. The great thing about these self paced lessons is I can always go back to these ones if the new ones start to feel like too much.
