Snakker's sketchbook - My Art Journey

[snakker]

I think shading is complete, will next add lights and color

What do you guys think?
I did fix the left brow (was a bit mefisto) and noticed i constructed her slightly slanted in opposite direction to actual slant. Also not sure if her right ear isn’t too large. I removed midtone background for readability

Cheers

[snakker]

Ok… NOW I think I finished shading shadows - and fixing her XD

Cheers, lemme know if you spot more mistakes

[mitsuki-youko]

great job on this, looks really good!

[snakker]

Thank you!

[snakker]

Here she is, I want to say it’s finished but I am bound to find something wrong
Any critique highly appreciated as always (this was hard to color!)

Cheers

Edit: already did XD

[mitsuki-youko]

you're actually pretty spot on with this one. its just a little "long" vertical wise. I just used the transform tool and pulled the bottom up slightly and it looks pretty much the same as the orig pic great job!

Left = orig obvs
middle = your orig drawing
right = my squished ver

[snakker]

Oh wow, I knew something was off, thanks for pointing this out, amazing how the mind can play tricks on you, definitely have to keep an eye out for vertical proportions
Would have helped to keep reference next to the painting but I was using procreate’s little reference floating window thing in this case

Here’s the corrected version

Cheers

eyyy it looks great!!

[snakker]

Hey everyone, managed to do a quick study during my break today

I also attached a video of the process. These are very useful to spot problems in process, i tend to add details too early and then realize something is off proportion wise or construction wise

Cheers

Video process

If it helps, I also uploaded a video on how I made the more fleshed out leia portrait (post 433)

Your progress never ceases to impress me @snakker, keep at it, oh i'm gonna check the book from Scott you're reading, i gonna need all the help i can get with perspective XD

[pretzel]

These are all amazing! The amount of work you do and your improvement are very inspiring.

[snakker]

Thanks so much for the kind words! It is also very motivational for me
@Pattu_w That book by Scott is great, very in depth and plenty of video tutorials included, but very technical and hardcore XD I personally love it, vibes with me

This is a small update on how my gestures are evolving over time

cheers
