Probably the last set of hands I will do or at least post : ). I bought two classes that suited my needs and goals quite well and am excited to get started on them!

[hojoflow]

Must be very satisfying to see such lovely hands. Well done for putting the practice in!

[leo.glt95]

Good job darn it, i love your paintings the way you paint feels very traditionnal !! Keep it up champ

[ErroIsTheFool]

All these hands are so amazing! Great work!

[Lockenheim]

These are looking so fantastic! Really nice job!

I've been restudying anatomy from another professional artist that I admire, a korean illustrator called Sungmoo Heo. His lectures gave more clarity for me, and I'm looking forward to practicing anatomy more with all the new info I'm receiving by next week!

Other than that, I tried doing a portrait painting today for a span of around 5-6 hours (?). I think this is the best portrait piece I've done so far . I'm thinking to open up commissions of this kind sometime soon; I hope it's good enough! Please feel free to let me know if there is anything I could improve on

[Lockenheim]

Relly lovely style raincloud! Very efficient brush strokes! Nice job! Also where were you able to view their lectures? Sounds quite interesting!

[johann.audouin]

I just discovered you work. Really love your body studies and that last portrait. Really inspiring !

Hi Lockenheim!
Instagram successfully lured me into buying a few courses from Coloso.us from their ads lol
I was referring to one of the site's courses named "Creating Complete Dynamic and Stylish Characters" by Sungmoo Heo

Thank you!

I've been learning from another course how to draw anatomy, and it really helped simplify the muscles for me. Here is a somewhat rough rendition of me grouping the muscles into more digestible shapes:

next goal: drawing the human body with little to no reference and with skin!

[Lukiesartventure]

Looks really good! I haven't studied much anatomy to comment, but that pink line going from the glutes to the knee, is it supposed to follow the shape of the leg and have a slight curve to it?

[soft.raincloud777]

That's a good question! I'll have to look into that, thanks for bringing it up!

[soft.raincloud777]

hello again!
here is another set of studies on anatomy. But this time, I gradually used a tiny bit of reference and then used no reference at all (right figure) to draw muscles, on top of a rough outline and volume drawing of figures from reference.

The muscles are grouped together and/or simplified so it's not super accurate, but enough to help me move on to drawing skin I think, where I will be more cautious about how the muscles realistically look.

But if anyone sees something out of place (I have yet to check the accuracy of the one on the right), please feel free to let me know!

time to add skin on personalized poses yey

[soft.raincloud777]

had fun drawing this

[Lockenheim]

These are looking really fantastic, the only thing that I see is possibly the size of the rectus femoris on the right model, might be that size on the ref, it looks a bit small to me for some reason. Really lovely work on these let me know how it looks on the ref Im still pretty new to all this! Great job.

[Squint_io]

She looks like she could be in a 1950s New York detective movie lol

[soft.raincloud777]

You're right! I also noticed I drew that part too small. I also angled the sartorius wrong on that last one

[soft.raincloud777]

Actually you're not too far off from my idea for this character haha. Could mean that I'm giving off the correct feeling! She's set in the 1900s : D

[soft.raincloud777]

been reviewing proportions before adding anatomy and skin. I'm quite happy with it so far, since I challenged myself to not copy a pose from reference and create my own pose. Although I did end up copying one pose ref on the right ;-;

I already have a character in mind for this one : )
