Snakker's sketchbook - My Art Journey

[snakker]

I just realized i focused too much on a “shadow shape” on his cheek that makes it look like hes lacking a parotid gland it it so happens its makeup 🙈 i really need to stop and think before drawing

[daceronine]

not sure what you mean, it looks great!

Trying my hand at some simpler heads from imagination >_< I still feel these are kinda terrible, but may as well keep posting this stuff so I can see how they were at this point as I improve

Cheers

Your traditional work is great! your shading and hatching is 100% goals

also I think heads from imagination might be one of the most challenging things to do

[snakker]

Thanks @matthewwemes Must admit, it is very hard indeed!

So, starting up with some warm up quick sketches
Time for some perspective/environment work X_X

cheers

oooooooh lookin good so far!

[snakker]

warmup doodle and today's first study, 1 point perspective from low vantage point, no view of the horizon to convey claustrophobic feel (do note these shadows are just eyeballing XD absolutely not accurate)

cheers

[snakker]

Next is 2pt birds eye view, useful to set a scene, help locate and understand a setting

cheers

[daceronine]

The first perspective exercice reminds me of faceball. That should tell you how old I am

The second one truly looks liek it was 3D rendered. Looks very clean.

[matthewwemes]

your latest environment and perspective studies are looking great! and eyeballing shadows is what I almost always do lol

[Kaz_0]

Nice job with the perspective ! You are doing great.

[snakker]

@daceronine @Kaz_0 @matthewwemes thanks for the kind remarks! I gotta keep working hard on environments!

For now a doodle at work, pen and ink - might get onboard this inktober thing

Cheers!
