Pattu - Art School Journey

[Pattu_w]

So keeping it up with the weekly update, here comes the image dumping.

Daily practice from youtube, will only post 3 because they are quite samey

Did a compilation of the gestures. On the day two forward i tried a different approach to gesture drawing, i don't know why but i feel a lot of anxiety and frustration when i have to do those, so i put a 20 min timer to do as much as i can in the time, it probably takes away from what the essence of gesture drawing is, but i feel less pressured that way.

Nude"ish" figure drawing 1-3

And to finish it of, here are the studies i made from the artist Kyoung Hwan Kim (great artist btw), only managed to do 4 and didn't have time to finish the Chun-Li one.

1 (The line art is pretty dirty)

2 (Didn't had time to finish it)

3 (The lineart on this one is reaaaaally dirty, but i liked it tho)

4 (I liked this one the most, but spent a lot of on it)

And that's it, thanks for passing by.

Really like your lineart work! They're "dirty" as you said but that's what I like about them And the same for gesture drawing.. anxiety inducing practice

[playforwho89]

line drawings look awsome.
Regarding gestures from what i understand the timer is there to force you to focuse on larger shapes and the "rythms" of the figure as well as limit the amount of lines. But even though you didnt time them your gestures dont look overworked, the lines are very expresive and confident . Over all great work
(I looked at the image before i read the text and I thought you were spending 20 min EACH and casually droping 2 - 3 hours of gestures daily )

[Pattu_w]

i can't barely stand 20 min of gesture lol, i would probably go insane but this week i'm trying to do them properly, if they come out wonkie looking, so be it, thanks tho

[gregorya]

I like your line art studies. They look so clean and the line looks pretty weighty.

[snakker]

Dang!!! Those studies are looking really nice!

[leonarto]

Ahh I'm so glad to see you're back @Pattu_w!
So nice to see some of your work again

I completely feel you with the figure drawings. I get so frustrated for no reason and I kind of ignored them for a long time, I should probably revisit them soon... but I know we'll master it one day and maybe end up loving gesture drawings (lets hope )

Also loving your studies, keep up the great work!

[jasminerosepowell]

oh wow!! the details are super nice

[Pattu_w]

Heyo, not much to say so here's the stuff from the week that has passed

Daily Practice (i did 6, here are 3 of them)

Gesture (did them properly this time)
funny thing actually, i cropped the file on phtoshop to make a jpeg image, but accidentally closed and saved the file, so i lost half of the gestures i done, but oh well, here's what i managed to salvage

Discord Gestures
i also started to do some gestures from a group on artschool's discord, so here it is (gotta say this gesture thing grew a bit on me, still hate it tho).

Proportions

Perspective (i gotta admit that i slept on perspective this week, only did the exercise on 3 days of the week)

and the perspective assigment

and that's the end of the first month, thanks for passing by.

[mitsuki-youko]

these are lookin great!

[gregorya]

I like your proportions and gestures. Nice work.

[Gordon003]

Just wondering. Why don't you like doing gesture despite the fact that you are still doing/practising it?

Nice daily practice routine you have. Keep it up!

[Pattu_w]

i'm following marc weekly schedule for the course, and by the look of it, liking or not, i will be doing them almost every week , but i intend to follow it to the end, it also helps me to stay motivated so yeah, gesture it is. Aaaand i really like to mark X's on a checklist tho.

[Lockenheim]

Really impressive stuff Pattu! How do you like working from Marc's schedule so far?

[Sthingz]

I will always say it: your gesture drawings are the best! Solid mannequin and Kyoung-Hwan-Kim studies btw. Regarding the latter, how do you approach these kinds of studies? Look forward to your insight.

[Pattu_w]

So far it has been great, it a like a clear goal that i need to achieve each week, it really feels like it's a progressive curve of learning, as if one assignment complements the next one.

[Pattu_w]

your gesture drawings are the best!

Thanks, i'm really glad you like them.

how do you approach these kinds of studies?

On these i manly try to construct the figure and make it as close as possible from the source. When i'm happy with it, i just make it prettier, like redrawing the lineart, mostly on the same layer, so in the end it isn't the cleanest of the lines but it's not meant to be a finish piece so it doesn't matter that much.

here's one of the ones i making this week. I'm on the construction phase, but it does feels like it's almost there.

[Pattu_w]

Here i stand once again, this week has been quite rough, but somehow i managed to do "almost" all the assignments, here it is. (Brace for a flood of images)

Gestures 2min (Did 5 per day)

Discord Gestures

Daily Figure Drawing Assigment 7

Daily Perspective 1 Assignment 2 (Only did 6)

Nude Figure Drawing Assignment 4 (From imagination)

Artists Studies (Lineart Only)
Only managed to do 4 studies, so here are 3 studies i made from the artist Moryo もりょ , and 1 that i just pick from google so i dont know who the artist is.

1 - On this one i just yolo the shadows just for fun, so it's probably broken, but oh well.

2 - I posted the construction of it earlier, but since i drawn the lineart on top of it i cant put it on the side.

3 - In this one i tried to make the lineart as clean as possible so i made it on another layer, i liked this one the most actually.

4 - My girlfriend asked me to do baby Gohan so here it is, this is not from Moryo もりょ btw.

Once again, for these i mainly focus on construct the figure as close as possible from the reference using simple shapes, them i make the lineart on top of the construction.

And that's about it, thanks for passing by.

[mitsuki-youko]

Yooooo nice work!!! The lineart looks gorgeous, your gestures are so dynamic, and your perspective looks wonderful as well!! keep up the good work

[Araita]

All those look amazing!
