  • Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?

  • Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with you

  • Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!

Here is my work-in-progress for the three-point perspective assignment. I always avoided drawing backgrounds/settings before because I hated measuring stuff, but doing this assignment made me change my mind on it. It's quite fun, and, in a weird way, it really unlocked another creative side of me. I do plan to add lighting to it as a challenge. I may or may not erase more details from the bottom half. It actually had more detail than it does now. I erased the details because it looked too distracting to me.

Apr '23

Awesome work! yeah, I know what you mean. I usually dread perspective but when I start working on it, It's quite fun. it's like creative problem-solving, you lose your sense of time which is a great feeling!

Apr '23

Thank you! I forgot to reply when I liked your comment haha I definitely got into a flow zone and lost my sense of time on this one haha

May '23

Here is the assignment with lighting. This was quite a challenge. I had to go into my sketchbook to figure out how the angle of the light for this would look like in this setting. There's a section on how to figure out the angle of lighting in Andrew Loomis' Successful Drawing. It has a wealth of resources, and I think it's well worth a look. It helped me reverse-engineer/decipher how the lighting would be placed by using other perspective techniques. The bridge's shadow was difficult, in particular, so I guessed and messed around it until it looks right. I'm not sure if I nailed it, but at least my lighting seems to direct it near my point of interest (hopefully).

May '23

Always had a problem with figuring out lighting and shadow work, so I'm the last person to comment :grin: but to my eyes it makes sense.

On a different note, people on the forum keep mentioning Loomis, and just lately I learned that he's behind the face drawing construction from the anatomy term 2 lessons. Do I need to check out his books?

May '23

Thanks. I am glad to know the lighting makes sense to you :smile:

Regarding Andrew Loomis, he has books on figure drawing, illustration, face drawing, and a regular drawing book (Successful Drawing). His book seems to be written for artists back then (for example, he talks about drawing for advertisements, and this field at the time seems more contextualized for back then, to me, at least), but his books are still very good because he talks about foundations very in-depth in terms of perspective, anatomy, faces, hands, values, shading, lighting, etc. Particularly, his illustration book has a very good section on composition.

I still reference his books from time to time (along with others, like Michael Hampton's Figure Drawing book). His books are well-worth your time.

May '23

Thanks for informing me more about him! I'll be sure to check out his books, as well as Michael Hampton (a name I'm hearing about for the first time from you :blush:) so thank you for that as well! appreciate it.

May '23

Here is my 4-point perspective assignment. Drawing this was really weird for me. I am not used this perspective. But I got to practice my line art on the human figure. And this does make me think about when I would use this perspective grid.

May '23

Here is my volume study exercise. It's easier to think about lighting on simple shapes. I still need to do more to get the hang of it.

May '23

ooh pretty! this looks so cool and whimsical!

nice work on the perspective on this piece
Might be me but I think if you dial down the lineweight a bit on the right it would work better

May '23

I'm going to take my time on learning the different features of the face. I'm learning a lot more about the face than I expected, compared to my art courses I took back then. So far, my studies look really rough, but I definitely understanding why they look as they do in real life.

More face studies. As much as I wanted to draw a more "realistic" face for this assignment, I may have been thinking about Mark Bagley when I was drawing the eyes (Ironically, I was more inspired by anime/manga back then, though, like Naruto, in particular. However, Mark Bagley was great on Ultimate Spider-Man when I read like the first 40 issues.) I definitely can't draw an accurate realistic face without references just yet, but these exercises helped my memory.

Jun '23

This assignment is way more relaxing than drawing something from my imagination haha. This is a helpful exercise. I learned about anatomy back then, but Marc's video showed me that I can still learn more and do a deep dive into each muscle and bone so that I can draw the body more accurately.

Jun '23

More studies. I tried to differentiate between the pectoral muscles and breasts this time so I could see how the breasts attach to the chest muscles.
I also tried to do a draw-over of Rob Liefield's Captain America torso anatomy. Since this is stylized comic book art, my critque is subjective. I think the pectoral muscles seemed be off a bit since I think Cap's torso is supposed to be twisting, but I can't really tell. I could be wrong. I tried to do a draw-over in this case, altering the positions of the torso and pelvis, so that we could see the chest muscles. I don't think I was successful because I didn't exactly capture Rob's Cap's huge physique in the draw-over, but this was a good mental exercise in thinking about how huge muscles would attach to the human body.

Jun '23

Yeah I feel u too, the chest muscle from Captain America looks off (reference image I mean). Nice chest study btw.

Jun '23

Thank you! I'm not used to drawing huge muscular people (especially Super Heroes like Cap), so this was nice to get out of my comfort zone.
