Snakker's sketchbook - My Art Journey

[snakker]

Thanks! @mitsuki-youko

Didn't have a chance to keep at it till today, so just finished this piece, any observations always welcome!
cheers

PS decided to add her moles, but it was tricky to not make them stand out too much

[patrycja.lerch]

Looks really good! Glabella area seems a little bit off but I stared at it for so long that I am not sure anymore

[mitsuki-youko]

noice! that hair rendering is amazing!

[snakker]

@patrycja.lerch @mitsuki-youko Thank you!

Here's with some slight corrections, I think the glabella is better now, also fixed the shadow behind the ear as it could look like a weird mastoid process

cheers!

Also, some folds practice/gesture sketch

[snakker]

Phew, gonna take a break

cheers

Great stuff! You really captured the energy of the subject swinging her bat. Did you start in grayscale or did you immediately go into color?

[Pattu_w]

Man, those paintings looks so good it's unreal. The face is spot on and the figure is so full of energy, great work all around!

[snakker]

@Sthingz Thanks! straight to color
@Pattu_w Thanks!!!

That's pretty good so far. You may need to work on the background. It looks like you may need to flatten the ground.

[snakker]

Thanks @gregorya Yeah, that background was a bit rushed, tried giving it a bit of a "wide angle" feeling so I kinda warped it beyond the curvature of the stadium, but I may have done a poor job

now focusing on dressing up people, man, the struggle is real!

cheers 2 males for now. I'm not shading because I want to focus on building the folds and whatnot, and get more work done faster

[snakker]

Some fixes to the previous folds study, my SO is like "if you notice something wrong in your drawing, you can't continue, that's like something is structurally wrong, if it was a building it would fall, your drawing would be a failure because of that little detail" referring to how her hips look flat XD

cheers

[snakker]

[snakker]

ok, gonna take a break from all this brain gymnastics XD

cheers

[leonarto]

They all look so good!!

[daceronine]

The lady with the bat looks amazing. And those are some good fold studies too.

I can usually do fine from reference, but "constructing" them is so much harder.

These look very natural, though the folds should probably blend a bit more with the cloth instead of "sticking out" from it. Something kinda like this..?

Really nice lighting though!

[snakker]

Thank you for showing me, you’re absolutely right 👍

Cheers!

[mitsuki-youko]

yooo these studies all look amazing!

[snakker]

Starting up today's practice with some heads from imagination, focusing a bit on places and 3D form minutiae X_X
Please let me know if you observe any mistakes

cheers

[snakker]

Head design from imagination, kinda loose, trying to imagine how he'd look by rotating the profile to frontal view

[snakker]

head from below XD

Well, at least it's fun to just mess around with heads for a while- I'm a bit tired so, I'm gonna leave it at that for today, gonna take a break, maybe I'll have some late night energy

cheers
