Hello! My name is Scott Bradley! you can call me Scott. I gradutated in an art college for 1 year at 2019, just an introduction to give us the idea on our career path since i was lost on what to do, and ive realised that i want to be an illustrator or a freelance artist! Then i had an injury that lasted 2 years on my shoulder so i could not draw and now i started healing when i got the proper care. I stumbled upon the Art School in Marc brunet's youtube channel and i have been doing this term for around 6 months now and just realized this forum existed which my bad!. i just started term 4. if you guys are interested to see my term 1 - 3 just chat if interesred and i will show my progress. i hope we can get to know each other! sorry in advance if i am hard to talk since im very shy and im not used to talking and chatting to people but i hope to know you all!

Here is my Term 1 Assigments around September 2019 to November 2019. Also this is my first time starting digital drawing for over 2 years and i havent got the use of digital since i am a traditional artist

CSP was very weird when i tried the brush i didnt know how to make it look like what marc did.

Here are the best works i did of my progress of term 1 ranging around week 6 to 8. This time i started to adust and tweak the settings of my drawing tablet and brushes

i love japan thats one fact about me XD

Hi. The figure drawings and the proportion assignments look really good, i hope to see more of your work soon, dont worry, you dont seem hard to talk to. and being shy is my speciality

Hi Scott! Welcome to the forums! Very nice work! You have a very pleasant feeling to your lines. Really fantastic on the proportions, suggesting muscles and all. I look forward to seeing your work!

Thank you! i really appreciate it!

here is my term 2! from the first to the last. some are random and i chose my best and my worst arts over the term!

this around the last week of this term

the progress was very interesting since my weakness in arts is realism and drawing heads i really struggled a lot with heads so i was afraid and so i avoided drawing heads but after doing this term it was amzing i had a lot of struggles but i am proud that i got this far with drawing heads!

Lockenheim 2022-04-28 23:10:07 UTC #12

Nice work with those heads! I'm still working on mine but I don't feel so intimidated by them anymore. I can definitely understand that feeling though. Personally I think heads has been one of the hardest things for me to learn. Loving this work! I especially like those twisted shapes. Keep it up!

Love to see well executed perspective, im working on faces right now and i can confirm its a struggle, but seeing your progress is really motivating, keep it up.

balagteyscottbradley 2022-05-03 00:30:02 UTC #14

thank you! seeing it again the perspective looks alright its just the way its drawn XD. and thank you! drawing faces are quite a struggle tbh

I really like the way you do gestures. They flow so well it's almost like they are liquid, which is exactly the point, i am sure! Keep up the great work! I can already see you improving with faces a lot with these.

balagteyscottbradley 2022-05-07 19:59:08 UTC #16

thank you so much! yeah faces are quite hard. it does take me really long to draw faces still but of course with good practice i could get faster!

here is my term 3 progress. clothing has been my biggest challenge as well since i refused to learn it back then but i have to learn to get better at art to have a successful career. i still struggle clothing a bit until now since i accidentally overworked myself on clothing that it caused some burnout along the way. i will go back to clothing again and i will improve on it.

also im sorry if i didnt colour code the muscles that was entirely my fault

and here is week 8 of my muscles and clothing on photos

this traditional sketches here are not week 8 its around the weeks of this term
ive done some figures with clothing but on traditional since i kinda do wanna mix up traditional and digital

then 3d from week 1 to week 8

this was a small project i made for myself to design the katana of a charater of mine

and at week 5 to 8 i started to created an anthro character of my girlfriend. her OC for her birthday gift

term 3 was quite a wild term. i never knew 3d woud be fun and i would totally practice this as a hobby or try to become a 3d artist soemday. Clothing, i wish i could have done better but i messed up along the way that sabotage my progress. its all fine the most important part is the progress that i have improved. hope you guys enjoy it any critiques woul be awesome

Beautiful work. These 3d models are amazingly good! These studies are all amazing. One thing Marc tells me frequently is to go very dark in the deepest folds, basically pure black. I still don't have it figured out all the way but I know it adds a lot to the 3d feel to go really dark in the deepest folds. Fantastic progress keep it up!
