Rebecca (grey__knight) - Art School Journey

[soft.raincloud777]

Hello everyone!
I recently joined the art school program and made it my goal to finish it before the fall semester 2022 this year. I know this is such a short time, but this is the only period of time left before I (hopefully) start working on my BSN (bachelor's degree in nursing) in the fall. So Imma start grinding for the days and hours I'm not at work (ง •_•)ง
(EDIT: Actually, there's no way I'm going to finish art school by the fall semester lol. Going to take more time ;-; )

Here are some digital art pieces I've done so far below:

Looking forward to learning! Woo!

Finished some of Term 1's Nude Figure Drawing Assignments. Wanted to enjoy the process so added some colorful hues to them!

Got to my first round of gesture drawing this morn before I have to get ready for work.

Always wanted something like the hobbit house in the movie...

These look very well done and presentable, especially your use of colours to give everything a finished feel. I usually don't polish my study work to that extent.

[soft.raincloud777]

Thanks! I usually like to "aestheticize" my sketches so I can look back and appreciate them more But there is nothing wrong with not making them look cohesively pleasing since they're just study work. Thanks for commenting!

Finally finished my 1st perspective drawing assignment! Goodness it took me more than a week to finish this, for one since I've never invested in drawing something like this to this degree before. I felt really competitive when I started on this and ended up spending more time on this than I should...

oh well...

[soft.raincloud777]

Gonna call it a day with my study on 2 point perspective! Although I accidentally did 3 point perspective because of some parts like the window hoods... ;-; I'm now moving on to term 2

I definitely overdid it with this one lol, I had a very competitive spirit

The bottom part is less detailed because I have a certain concept planned out for this piece that I hope to complete in the near future.
I would love for some feedback... if anyone sees this🥲

[soft.raincloud777]

Another set of gesture drawing, and reference drawing assignment for term 1. And I said in the last post I would move on to term 2... ( ﾉ ﾟｰﾟ)ﾉ

[soft.raincloud777]

I had some difficulty/ confusion with the photoshop part a assignments, probably because I'm using clip studio paint instead. I attempted to do the first 2 assignments so far; here is mine for the second:

I referenced a butterfly, images from Monsters Inc., a cat, and tarantula eyes (side note: tarantula eyes are so adorable, but the rest of their body makes me feel conflicted, goodness it's a weird feeling), which is a bit out there since I wanted to make them mysterious, but cute at the same time

Would appreciate any feedback!

Some more pose drawings and a head sketch

I'm currently still going through Marc Brunet's anatomy lesson for term 2, which is the last lesson of the term I have yet to complete. Learning the anatomy of the ear for one really helped clarify what exactly were the structures I was drawing when I was doing a sketch of the face shown below. Looking forward to learning and practicing other structures of the face soon!

I can't wait to see your new pieces! These are fantastic! Great work! Keep it up!

[soft.raincloud777]

Thanks so much Lockenheim! The amount of detail and dedication in your work is also amazing, looking forward to seeing more of your work in the future!

[soft.raincloud777]

Tried to do a "draw this in your style" challenge. Really pushed myself to my limits and I certainly saw my limits lol. The arms don't quite look as realistic anatomy-wise. Definitely will work on my anatomy to improve in the future!

aand I will slide in my Instagram art account huhu (would love some encouragement there!)

nice figure sketches especially the traditional ones ... ur building looks interesting as well ... and u sure have a good understanding of color too ... hope to see some more ... and when u got some more character themes let me now in the "General" section

[Owlott]

I really love what you did there, did you use a reference? It kinda looks like french architecture, I'm no expert, just french x)

[soft.raincloud777]

yes! I did use a reference! Goodness there's no way I could do one without it at this stage lol
You're probably right that the building is french too! I could only decipher it to be some European structure ;-;

and woh you're french?! french people always seem so classy, i like

[soft.raincloud777]

thanks Paul, I'll try to keep that in mind

[soft.raincloud777]

some nose studies!

[Lockenheim]

Great studies!
