phizzle12 - Art Journey

[phamster345]

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.

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.

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

[phamster345]

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.

Here are my muscle overlay studies on the skeletons.

Here are my clothing studies from references. The tension points make the wrinkle behavior a lot easier to understand. I also tried to use gradient maps for these studies.

[phamster345]

Here are my clothing studies over the nude figures. This exercise helped me focus on the tension points more.

It's been a while since I posted. To be honest, I procrastinated on the Zbrush content because all the tools were very daunting. However, after following Marc's barrel tutorial, I feel a bit more comfortable with it. Seeing the lighting render was very satisfying.

Here is an ogre I created an Zbrush. This assignment really forced me to relearn the face anatomy. But sculpting it was pretty fun.

oooh this looks great!

[phamster345]

Thank you!

[phamster345]

I'm studying arms and legs.

[snakker]

This is really cool! Can't wait to get to zbrush stuff

cheers

[phamster345]

Thank you! Zbrush is pretty fun!

[phamster345]

More arms and legs! But on a skeleton.

[phamster345]

I use a physical stick figure to inspire me for these poses. The top row features normal proportions. The bottom row features more imaginative proportions. Though, I drew on the wrong layer for the bottom portions, so I just left my under-sketch. I don't if it's just me, but I started looking at my anatomy references less and less the more I drew these poses.

[phamster345]

Here are some lighting exercises. I think I got a headache when I was drawing more complex shapes. Once I started breaking those shapes down into smaller and simpler shapes to pinpoint my shadows, it got easier.

[phamster345]

Here is a work in progress I will color in later once I get some time.

[phamster345]

Here are the colored versions of my drawing. I used that Adobe color program to use some basic color combinations. For this character, I imagined her to be a show-off and haughty, so I tried to use bolder colors.
If anyone has time to give their thoughts and feedback on which one has the more appealing color schemes and why, I would appreciate that. Please and thank you.

i think 5 might be the best one but what if you tried switching the green and purple so that her vest is purple and inner clothes are green?

I feel like the gloves would look better if they were green and the shoes too for some alternations so that its not all one color unless thats what ur going for
