Pattu - Art School Journey

[snakker]

Nice! congrats on getting so much work done, the struggle can be real. I really love the way you control line weight throughout your work, and I feel you on certain things being way too complex for day to day art making. Also, like the way you rendered the arc, especially the left side and upper part

cheers!

[garrok.dev]

outstanding as always ! Your linework is delicious. I aspire to reach this level when I grow up.

really thourough note-taking !

[patrycja.lerch]

Great work! Love your lineart

[mitsuki-youko]

Yooooo these studies are AMAZING!!!

I LOVE how you shaded your shadow homework (Complete Color and Light Theory 1 Assignment 3) !

IDK why but the way you shaded it looks like candy and looks so delish XD so so beautiful!

it's got that chill calm vibe that you might see in a futuristic comic!

Yo, excelent studies man, those anatomy notes are so detailed it's almost like they were done by a doctor xD.

I love reading all these though, it's also good reminders to oneself on how the whole thing works. I remember just knowing how arm muscles are divided in flexors and extensors helped understand how they behave work and why they are the way they are. So if a character is flexing, some muscles bulge up, if they are pushing, other muscles bulge and so on.

One thing i can say while doing those exercises is that those are not practical at all, overly complicated for something that most people don't realise the effort behind, best to just know the theory behind how the cast shadows work and do something approximately right using your gut then something mathematically correct.

I wholeheartedly agree, I was thinking something similar as I worked my way through this, and hope there's not more of it in the upcoming exercices. That said, it DOES help understand shadow's behaivor in relation to light sources, how they stretch, fade and their position in relation to the light. I can see why these where included even if I'm not a fan of it.

And those sketches from references look awesome! I couldn't help notice Cammy grew a bit thicker on the thigh, though you did mention you did some "Adjustments to fit your tastest" xD.

But for real, your line work is amazing, I look forward to your works because they rock and also so I can take some pointers.

[Pattu_w]

Thank you all very much!

@mitsuki-youko Looking at it now it DOES look delicious lol

Now that made me laugh XD

Totally random thing, but every time i look at you guys commenting i always remember the name of the party you get when you use the starting characters in the game Darkest Dungeon. This one:

Makes me laugh every time lol

[JimSt]

Oh man. Wow! These studies are great!

[gregorya]

Excellent studies. The muscular system looks pretty detailed and complex.
The street fighter characters look almost similar with pretty good linework. The only difference I can see is the shading.

[pretzel]

Awesome work as always! You have no idea how much I love your lineart! I hope I am as good as you one day!
The color studies also look amazing!

[Pattu_w]

Thanks! The small changes i was referring to is mostly cammy (01), that is quite a bit buffed up and i changed her head and expression a lot, and also Sakura (03) that i slightly changed her face features and head ribbon to have a bit more gesture. The other disparities are totally unintentional.

I see. Now that you mention it, the ribbon looks more curved on Sakura 03. And Cammy's arms do look more defined and a little bigger. Her expression looks similar to the reference.

[daceronine]

True, I noticed some adjustments on Cammy as well

[Pattu_w]

Welp, i'm sure took my sweet time to do these, truth is that i was starting to feel THE burn, mentally and physically (it was like 40°C here where i live and i could feel my brain melting) but here i am once again with week 3 of term 4.

20 Hands From Reference

When i was doing those that i started to feel burnout, so i just slowed down. Some of those are just nay good but it is what it is.

Daily"ish" Color Observations and Notes

Did just one and for now on gonna do observations instead of taking notes, those feel way too boring to do and I really don't wanna to those anymore, so i just won't lol

To feel frustrated and burnt is just no fun. Here's for a smoother week 4.
Thanks for passing by and as good artist would say: Stay cheese fresh bags (or something like that lol)

Yo all these hands look sick! Funny how I used to hate drawing hands because they just felt too hard, now it's actually fun to tackle them. These all look very detailed and smoothly shaded.

For the color theory observation... yea, I actually where I need to do 3 more of it... and I kinda groan a bit about it. Like, identifying the palette is fine, and I think that's what I'll do, but elaborating notes ain't that much fun. Still, I'll be a good boy and complete them as well. I see you noted that the key color usually has the highest contrast, and while I think that's true, I think high saturation is also used for accents.

Also love the muscles over bones exercies. Agreed that iwas more fun than the previous ones. Muscles in general are very interesting. Not much I can say there, they all look fine to my eyes, some have muscles a lot more exagerated, but I think it's clearly due to the syle, like most from the back seem to have shorter Lats and longer obliques and erectors, but the form and placement seems correct and I really think it's just due to style.

Btw I love that style.

Hope you feel better and burn down. I totally get what that feels like and yea, it's no fun.

[snakker]

Damn man, great job on all that work!

The hands look really good to my eyes and the figure studies are really cool. You already have a good grasp on getting clean linework, nice subtle shading like in the hands, you have a personal touch that goes well in your creation of original heads that are pleasing to look at and you seem to have a very good grasp on the muscle placement 💪🏼💪🏼

I feel you on burnout, just take it easy and cover the bases

Cheers!

[patrycja.lerch]

Awesome work! Hands look soo good

[Rodo]

Amazing Work man, I'm amazed whit he line work you got and don't make me start talking about the figure and hand studies.
I can't wait to be at the term you are, looks interesting. Keep it up.

[gregorya]

Nice work on the hands. I like the details on the palms, fingers, and the shading.
The yellow is in the highlights? I think most of the illustrations are orange or yellow-orange.
The muscles and heads from imagination look pretty tough to do. Nice work. The fourth one's shoulders look a little low to me. It might just be the angle.

[mitsuki-youko]

these studies are absolutely stunning!

They are SO good!!

don't burn urself out take a break every once in a while

[jasminerosepowell]

Your work is insane! those studies are amazing
