Moana - Art School Journey

[snakker]

Nice! Can’t wait to see that

Cheers

[jasminerosepowell]

These are some really lovely perspective studies and the character facial expressions are soo good!!

[prinzmoana]

Thank you both for your encouraging words 🙏

For warm up today some cylinders

Then I started with thumbnails for the room.
I tried to bring a bit of variation in.

After then I put in the block shapes.

---

Tomorrow I will narrow the selection down to 2 or 3 and develop them a bit further :} Feel free to recommend a room you would want to see further developed 😄

I really like the sense of depth and scale in 2 and 5! I can't quite tell what your design intent is yet at that level of detail, but to me 2 feels like a lab for some scary science experiments and 5 feels like a spaceship hangar.

[mitsuki-youko]

1 and 5 look the most interesting to me - though they are all very cool

[snakker]

nice, I would say 1 and 4 are most interesting to me, as they have a bit more asymmetry and thus I feel them a bit more dynamic

cheers

[Evilith]

So cute, and love your style. ^^

[kohkeeree]

I love how you groups sections of the hallway as shapes. It's a great idea!

[prinzmoana]

@matthewwemes
Hey nice to hear your thoughts thank you 😄 Yeah you're right I tried to keep everything as simple as possible in this phase. Still you recognized, what I was going for in 2, that's awesome +.+ For 5 I didn't even know myself, where I was going with this haha, but hangar is a great idea xD

@mitsuki-youko
Eyy mitsuki ✌️ Happy to hear that, 1 and 5 were also some of my favorites 😄

@snakker
Oh didn't even realized this myself 🤣 But yes you're totally right, thanks for pointing that out ;D

@Evilith
Thank you 🙏 I hoped she would turn out cute 😊 Next time I will try to create a character which is totally not cute to contrast her xD

@kohkeeree
Normally I often have problems with seeing the bigger picture and get lost in details. With these studies I really wanted to force myself to draw the simple/big shapes first :}

---

Sooo I decided to develop 1,2,5 and 6 further and I started with 1. Honestly it took me way longer than I thought xD But that's fine, bc I'm quite happy with the result 😄

---

In the next days I will draw the other rooms and maybe I'll try to color the best of them (or I safe this task until I get to the color lesson).

--

Besides the room I also did some gesture and perspective studies ^^

[mitsuki-youko]

these looks great!!

i really like how you do your lighting!

[snakker]

Awesome stuff

[prinzmoana]

Hey thank you 😄🙏

Today I just did some exercises, nothing too serious :}
Never did animal gestures tho, was quite fun ;D

[snakker]

These are really cool, loving the animals and the cool sci-fi syphon thingy

cheers

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh really like your animal studies!

[prinzmoana]

The animal gestures were fun ;D Somehow easy and hard at the same time xD Probably do that agin in future.

For the last two days just some studies, nothing to fancy ^^ Aaand I started room number 2, but I'm not even half through bc it's way more complicated than I thought it would be 😵‍💫

[jasminerosepowell]

Where do you find your references for environments? I either use film-grab or pinterest. I really like the Sci-Fi ones you draw. Also really nice gesture drawings for the animals too! especially if that's your first time doing so

[Lockenheim]

Lovely gestures and animal gestures!

[prinzmoana]

@jasminerosepowell
For reference of these rooms I only used what I learned from the studies I've made previously :} They were just from google search xD
And the rest was more or less build from random forms and shapes ^^

@Lockenheim
Thank you 🙏 😇
I can really recommend you the animal gesture if you want a break from human gesture drawing, gives a bit variety 😄

---

I've been a little short on posting lately, but here are the exercises from the last few days :}

---

Tomorrow I will try to finish the second room and ideally start to watch a bit of the Term 2 anatomy lesson.

Wish you all a great Art Journey and hang in there 🔥

[snakker]

Really like how these are coming out, keep it up!

Cheers

I love how expressive and clean your 60-sec gesture drawings are. How did you develop this style of drawing? Did you take inspiration from anyone else? I would love to know!
