Moana - Art School Journey

[prinzmoana]

@snakker thank you, I feel very motivated 💪😁

@mitsuki-youko I was thinking of doing some rotations of this little orange shop, maybe even a cutaway view of the inside ;D

@CYP2C19 thank you thank you, I'm glad to be back 😄 And happy to hear you like my perspective studies, bc I feel they're my weak spot xD

Today I've watched a video which I can highly recommend to y'all:

Here are my studies for today:

[prinzmoana]

Ohhh I just found sth, I totally forgot that I drew these xD
Initially they were meant for CDC November Challenge (Topic "Dog Adventurer")

[snakker]

These are super cool, very cool idea with the dog people, and thanks for sharing the video, definitely going to check it out!

cheers

[prinzmoana]

@snakker thank you, I'm glad when I can help ;}

The last view days I only made studies, but I'll just post a few of them now. In the next couple of days I want to do some more learning and creative stuff again ^^

[queeniemp]

Your gestures are amazing as always! and I can see from your recent posts that your perspective work has greatly improved

[prinzmoana]

@queeniemp thank you
I feel confident enough now to finally start with anatomy lessons

---

For today I've decided to just doodle some random character designs xD
I've tried to create an evil character (ignore the girl lol)

[mitsuki-youko]

i rly like how these silhuettes look they're so clear and distinct!

[snakker]

Those doodles are awesome! Loving the animal constructions and the odd alien slave? Reminds me of muddokons

Cheers!

[Lockenheim]

I really like these evil animals!

[smudged_ink]

Great job on the construction, you did a good job breaking these down into basic shapes. The silhouettes read really well too.

[queeniemp]

Really nice animal breakdowns and character silhouettes

[prinzmoana]

Man I'm tired
Right now it's 05:20 AM here so I will make it short and go to sleep xD

Thank y'all for your kind remarks
The animal constructions were a good exercise to simplify more complex shapes, I can highly recommend them

Yesterday and today I did the anatomy tasks:

[snakker]

Ohh I'm loving how you tackled the nose and ear studies, very nice!

cheers

[CYP2C19]

All of your nose, ear, head and random shape studies are amazing!, I also really like how you used different colors for the different parts of the nose.

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh wow those are some super nice constructions! (wow u sleep late hahaha take care!)

[prinzmoana]

@snakker
Thank you! I really wanted to take my time with the anatomy lessons, bc I never explicitly learned this stuff xD

@CYP2C19
I'm glad you like it ;}
The colors help me to see the shapes and how to stylize and manipulate them ^.^

@mitsuki-youko
Thank you, I try my best!
Yeah I really have a weird sleep pattern lately haha xD
But I have a lot of fun with the studies, so it's fine for now ^^

---

Today I tried to do some simplified heads/noses/ears without ref, was a lot of fun ^.^
And some good old gestures xD

[snakker]

Good stuff
Those gestures are beautiful

[Gordon003]

Love the simplicity of the gesture but still contains some detail (e.g. muscles).

imo, you should have a go about pushing the pose even more to express more but that's how i do gesture drawing.

[prinzmoana]

@snakker Thank you

@Gordon003 Thank you for your feedback! I've tried to incorporate it in my gesture drawing today ^.^
What do you think? Do you have any tips for me to improve?

---

[Gordon003]

What I meant by pushing the pose is move the model more extreme than normally shown. Basically, what's the mode next action after this?

Here are some examples I made. Forgive on my messy sketch as I just got up and was warming my hand up
