  • 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?

  • 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 you

  • 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!

[Term 1] Nude Figure Drawing, Perspective 1

I officially finished watching through all of the Term 1 lectures!! I wasn't able to do as much studying these last couple of days because of homework, but it's nice to see some improvements in my proportions (the ones that aren't foreshortened, at any rate lol).

4/30/21 Reflection

  • Get the line of action right!!!!!!
  • Improved a lot more in getting accurate tilts of each limb.
    • But now the limbs are a little too short!

I also got started on my 1-point perspective assignment! I love adding details to scenes but then I remember I have to finish them... :') But for now, I'm excited to get to cleaning this drawing up.

I learned a lot about keeping the scale consistent in the perspective lecture and had a lot of fun searching up medieval rooms and offices for reference. The concept is based off of an IP I've been thinking about for a while. Please look forward to the finished version, and thank you so much for reading!

[Term 1] Perspective 1
Progress on my one-point perspective piece so far. I've been slacking on figure drawing and I honestly feel like I only know how to draw in perspective now because of it. :joy: Super happy with my progress so far and having more fun than I thought I would.

05/03/21 Reflection

  • Getting a perspective drawing to look organic yet accurate involves alternating back and forth between the line tool and the pen. Too much of the line tool will stiffen it, and using the pen for everything will take waaaay too long.
  • Staying zoomed out is helpful for managing detail concentration (a lesson I will forever relearn with every piece, haha).

Thank you so much for reading!

Lovely work Michaela!!

The perspective of the room is great, and I've got nothing to add in that regard - you nailed it!

I've got two little nitpicks intended to take you further in your drawing, which I've taken from observing people's art. Drawing rooms in perspective like these is especially common in the videogame asset industry. Take a look at some FZD stuff for truly inspirational work! There are a few key things you can grab from those concepts in turn and bring your room drawing to another level.

1 - Architecture & design. Stuff like the trim around the base of a wall, the intricate window-sills, bracing, and their placement. The frame around a door. The type, size, and thickness of window-panes. The ornate carvings on the legs of a chair. These are the details that truly bring your piece to a new level, and introduce storytelling to the piece. I really love the desk you put in there, and just like that - you can do the same extra research for everything! Check out references for every single bit you put in there.

2 - Draftsmanship. It's a good thing that you've got a varying line thickness for the planks of the floor vs. their texture - you could make the wood texture lines even thinner or lighter and it would likely read even better as texture. This sort of stuff is often left for the rendering afterwards, as it is very time consuming to draw the texture of wood in a piece depicting an entire room. Not every line has to be there, either! You can, for example, omit the lines on plane changes facing us, or vary their thickness.

Something like this

Experiment with a lot of draftsmanship concepts (line weights, line hierarchy, omitted lines, cross-contours, etc., and combined with shape language, architecture and design, and perspective? you'll be unstoppable.

Hope to see some more from you, this is truly top notch work so far.

May '21

Wow, thank you so much for the detailed feedback and compliments! :smiley: I'll definitely keep all this in mind as I'm going forward.

P.S. I just tried lightening the floorboards and it made a really nice difference! Thank you so much again ^^ :smile:

It's been a week since I posted so I thought I might give an update. I had a lot of homework this week so I didn't really study much in terms of art. In my high school art class though, we're working on a packaging project (which I thought was the perfect opportunity to do fanart :stuck_out_tongue:). Here's a work-in-progress photo of what I've been working on all week!

This is one of the most detailed paintings I've ever done and I'm really pushing to reach a new level of finish I feel like I haven't achieved in a long time. We'll see how it turns out. :smile:

The next time I get to art studying, I think I'll start Term 2 and work on my Perspective 1 assignments at the same time. I'm not finding as much value in doing just the Nude Figure Drawing assignments anymore because I've done real-life figure drawing for the past three years. Excited to move on to anatomy!

Thanks for reading guys.

May '21

This looks great! I wish I had assignments like this in high school :open_mouth: I wasn't able to take classes for digital art due to schedule conflicts. Your school sounds awesome. Can't wait to see the finished product!

May '21

Thank you! The packaging project is usually supposed to be like box branding and more modern/sleek stuff, but I stretched the rules a bit haha. I figured that book covers are packaging too and squeezed in the chance to do some digital painting in class :stuck_out_tongue:

[Term 1] Perspective 1
AHHHH I FINISHED MY ONE POINT PERSPECTIVE ASSIGNMENT!!

I learned so much doing this assignment, from workflow to design to having patience. So many hours of painstaking drawing and referencing later, this is definitely a piece that I'm proud of. Thank you guys for looking.

Michaela

May '21

I'll just echo @Doomblick's words on Discord: this is definitely one of the best 1p perspective drawing I've seen so far in this course. Congrats Michaela, this turned out SUPER amazing. Straight into your portfolio.

Finished the Viscomm 2 lecture. I've been watching through the Term 2 Anatomy 1 and slowly taking notes, but recently I've finished two more pieces! I'm not studying as I'd like to, but that's not something I want to stress out about. No big deal, just keep making art :smile:

May '21

So good! only thing that stands out to me is the hands on the second drawing. not sure they should rotate as much as you have them drawn. at least I wasn't able to replicate that angle in person. Great rendering style.

May '21

Ooh, these turned out nice! I really like the lighting in both of them. I also like how you executed the blue tips in the hair on the second one, it's really beautiful.

May '21

Reply to

milkcee12

Wow those two pieces are really great, Michaela!
Theres just one thing I am not quite sure about:
In your second piece, the girls hands as she is tying up her hair are extremely pronated. I‘ve tried to do that pose myself and, as I am an inflexible dude, couldnt do it. It feel a little unnatural to have the thumbs turn upwards. Letting them point to the floor feels more natural and easy.
Hope that helps✌️✌️

May '21

@HANDRO @mau.wamp
Yeah, I realized the pose is kind of hard/impossible to do in real life. It is possible to rotate your hands in that direction (and I often do when messing with my hair) but not as far as I have them drawn haha. I guess the only thing to do is get references next time :smile: .

[Term 2] Anatomy 1

It's been a while, but I'm back with another set of study pages! I'm officially on summer break now too! It took a long time but I finished taking notes for the facial features part of the lecture. I'm going to do studies of each facial feature in sets of 10 + 2-3 from imagination. Here are my lecture notes and ear studies :smile:

20210516_anatomy1_p1.jpg2400x3600 1.65 MB

20210516_anatomy1_p2_A.jpg2400x3600 1.96 MB

20210516_anatomy1_p2_B.jpg2400x3600 2.8 MB

For the ear studies, my basic method was:

  1. Sketch
  2. Base silhouette + shadow shapes
  3. Overpaint focusing on:
    • Midtones
    • Occlusion shadow
    • Highlights
    • Accent color/color variation
  4. Any final touches with a hard brush (no opacity).

I haven't done painting studies in a long, LONG time so it was really fun to do these. Usually people see their improvement in their personal pieces, but I'm seeing improvement in my studies instead because I don't do them as often hahaha.

Jun '21

I think you did a great job on those assignements, michaela!
Your heads have good structure and I really love you ears, especially the sketches, they already convey a good sense of depth even without any rendering👍👍👍
