Lower arm anatomy is tricky for sure! Good job! Keep it up!

thanks for the encouragement Lockenheim!

more arm muscle studies and torso reviews!

soft.raincloud777 2022-06-13 19:12:01 UTC #64

hey again!
This time I tried to identify and draw out the muscles that I learned so far from reference figures. Learning anatomy is definitely paying off; I can draw out the arm and torso muscles with more confidence! The general sketch and the final result is shown below:

Also wanted to include a random experimentation with color and pen. I was inspired by one of Kano Nakajima's pieces. Vibing with the result heh

another two (process and final version):

Looking really nice! Really nice job!

I love the way you break things down into simpler shapes! Great job!

aand yet another anatomy-focused study...
I'll probably switch to studying hands after this (as you can see I left the hands unfinished lol)

Lockenheim 2022-06-17 13:21:53 UTC #69

You are killing it, fantastic job!

Lukiesartventure 2022-06-27 11:37:10 UTC #70

Like lock said, these are fantasyic! Your anatomy is spot on!

Got to Marc's video about color and light for term 4. Decided to use my personal room as reference (guess it's public now lol) and will be testing various color palettes on it I've been inspired by comic/graphic novel artists recently and wanted to emulate an aesthetic, relatively simplistic style that some of them had. That is why I went easy on the details for this piece.

I hope to also do something like a 100-hands challenge this week! Probably over a span of 5 days.

soft.raincloud777 2022-06-30 04:08:59 UTC #72

Managed to do 4 hands... Each took me about 30 mins to an hour Not sure if I can complete 100 hand in 5 days by the looks of it

I'm very addicted to blue, thus the random addition of color. If I tried another combination of colors without a prominent blue tone, I feel so unsettled haha. Definitely need to fix that

Squint_io 2022-06-30 05:38:27 UTC #73

You probably won't get 100 but the results are amazing. Also are you using a brush from marc or from another source?

soft.raincloud777 2022-06-30 23:22:38 UTC #74

true 😅😭
Im just using the pencil brush and the wet wash watercolor brush that comes with Clip Studio Paint

Squint_io 2022-07-01 02:08:09 UTC #75

Dang I use photoshop but thanks for letting me know lol

soft.raincloud777 2022-07-01 05:26:31 UTC #76

Another 13 hands! More than yesterday! Yes!

I tried to first use a "gesture" approach to draw the hands so that I might be able to finish each one quicker. But later I ended up still taking about 30 mins each because I was too caught up with the joint placement and the wrinkles. At least they looked better than the first few hands; maybe I improved?

It's clear that you already had a developing style as you started the course and that the classes you've been taking are accentuating that style.

Looking at your progress is like seeing a tree stretch out its roots into the soil of knowledge and using the nutrients to flourish into its own design. Bravo, I am enjoying muchly.

Stay encouraged.

soft.raincloud777 2022-07-01 20:13:16 UTC #78

Thanks so much for your comment, it made my day!

hojoflow 2022-07-02 22:35:59 UTC #79
