Pattu - Art School Journey

[Pattu_w]

will do, thanks for the feedback

[Gordon003]

Long story short, i done almost nothing, again

Proceeds to show so much progress done in those recent time.

Gesture-wise, I think you are putting too much pressure on yourself regarding about what's right/wrong with your gesture drawing. For me, it's just an exercise to both find the essense of the action and also warm up my hand for other art studies. It's just a matter of why you are doing gesture drawing.

Otherwise, I enjoyed your perspective studies and like the fact that you acknowledge that you did your best and can do more with further new knowledge. Keep it up!

You're always going to have weeks or so where you don't get much done and the studies seem to drag. I myself just had 2 weeks where I got almost nothing done because work was so crazy and by the time I got home I was too tired/unmotivated to do anything. It happens.

Just be sure to remember that this is a lifelong pursuit and don't beat yourself up too bad.

You've had some insane gains in a few months so keep it up! Even if Diablo 4 keeps whispering in your ear haha.

[gregorya]

I like your house and interior studies. The line work is very clean.

[snakker]

Wow, your lineart is phenomenal!

[jasminerosepowell]

your progress really is phenomenal and i TOTALLY agree the more us artists improve the more you realise you have to do which is why we should've appreciated our early days as artists

[Pattu_w]

I know exactly what you are talking about, in fact, that's exactly what just happened to me lol, work (and the goddamn diablo) got its claws on me, will see if i can start term 2 this week, thanks for the reply

[Pattu_w]

Term 2, Week 1 stuff

Strange looking bee

I really dig this vector stuff, it's quite fun to do.

Box art

i yolo the colors of the background, come to think of it, i pretty much yolo the entire background, but it looks pretty to my eyes sooo, noice.

Portrait

I would recognise that tired, 40 years looking, ugly bastard anywhere, it's me! (I'm 24 btw )

That's about it, thanks for passing by.

[patrycja.lerch]

I like that bee is cute and background is friendly looking while it is M rated

Nice shapes on hair!

[mitsuki-youko]

OMG that bee is so cute!!!!

your bg is really good too!

das a nice self portrait

[gregorya]

That's a good self-portrait. The Vector Bee looks good. I still find those to be a challenge to pull off. How do you practice it?

[alejorey.1995]

Nice warm / cool color you are using with the box exercise. I think the color balance is what makes it look so relaxing.

And nice self-portrait; I think the line weight is very good on the contour, and the thin lines on the details of the beard add good variations.

[Pattu_w]

thanks for the kind words people, i really appreciate it.

@gregorya Don't really practice, just tried to make something pretty. I have a degree in game design, and I remember that I had a term focused on vectorization, but used mainly Illustrator at the time, so i just did what i remembered, whitch is to use simple forms to do stuff. Sorry for the null anwser tho.

[gregorya]

Sorry for the null answer tho

No problem. I just need to look into vector art.

[Pattu_w]

Here's this weeks update. It was a fun week.

Gesture (2 min each, 5 per day)

Anatomy Assignment 1/2

On the assignment 1, i played around with shading and some random colors just to break the monotony of the task. Yes, i yoloed them both.

Photoshop assignment B

Heads Studies

I was supposed to do simple faces looking straight at the camera on this one, but i kinda bitten a bit more than i can chew. Result: Only did 7 of the 10 i was supposed to do, and they are not 1:1 with the refs, yet it was quite fun to do.

Refs

Studies

And that's it, thanks for checking out.

A wild bald man appears!!! Bye!

EDIT: Changed the nose off the first study, it was way too off to my liking

[Beyon]

amazing studies all of them!!. You just made me pick up my pencil XD

[Sthingz]

Magnificent gesture drawings (as always ). I noticed that you limit yourself to 5 gesture drawings per day - I will try that instead of cramming as many gesture drawings as possible into 30 or 45 minutes (i.e., quality over quantity). I loved the compilation of your head drawing from different angles - the transitions are very smooth thanks to your consistency across drawings. Your head drawings from ref. are also pretty good, and I liked how you played with different colors. Awesome stuff!

[natalie-viola]

your studies always look so good, the gestures, the geometric objects, the expressions!! Love seeing your progress ❤

[Inkpendude]

WOW...those overlapping shapes in perspective look insane. Great job you are killing it.

[catsforsnacks]

You're killing it dude!
Your gestures are very pleasing to look at. You really get the pose with minimal strokes.
That's a good idea trying the different blending methods and comparing them side by side. I'm going to have to try that!
Amazing studies - keep it up!
