Tanuki - ART School Journey

Hi there and welcome to my page!

I have started my journey here before in the past, but I had to leave for more than two years due to personal reasons. I've forgotten most of everything I have learned from the ART School program over the 2 years, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to start fresh and get to meet with all the other students that are just starting out too! Well then, let's start again!

Introduction

As of writing this, I am a 21 year old male and you can just call me Tanuki. I have been drawing here and there for the past 7 years, but my progress has become stagnate due to not knowing how to take my art further. So I have joined ART School to start anew!

End Goal

My goal by the end of all this is to become a proficient character illustrator. I want to mostly do lineart style art that of which ressembles the more manga style of drawing.

I hope to improve alongside everyone again starting today! Let's give it our all!

thank you!! and yeah it's great to be back on the forums. Hope to draw lots and lots!

Here are my assignments for the photoshop class in term 1!
I'm using clip studio right now and it seems like some things aren't available and psd files won't open as well for some reason. So These are the only assignments I will be doing for the photoshop class.

Oh wow thank you! I had no clue about that. Will take a look!

Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing

Assignment 1-3: Draw 10 skeletons over a reference photo
I'll be combining assignments 1-3 into one since it's about the same thing. Some of the references I used had clothes and it was definitely a lot harder to try and do those ahaha... wanted to try it, but learned the hard way.

Assignment 4: Draw 5 skeletons with cyclinders as limbs from imagination
I tried my best to draw some poses from imagination. I have done gesture drawings in the past, but haven't been doing them for a while. I should start doing it again on free time.

Assignment 5: Practice drawing the male and female with the 8-head proportion grid until you can draw it from memory
This one wasn't too challenging to do since I already know the basic proportions. It was a good review though. Caught some things that I forgot about
The one below is the sketch I did with the 8-head proportion grid while I was watching the video and followed along.

The sketch below is of the basic proportions drawn from memory.

Assignment 6: Gesture Drawings
I will be skipping this one since I will be doing this everyday on my freetime. I don't think it will be too neccessary to show these on here.

Assignment 7: Practice drawing the full figure from reference
This one was quite interesting to try and do on my own and I'll show you why below. But first, here is the full figure drawing I did while following alongside Marc in the video.

And below is the one that I did by myself after watching the lesson. I thought it was going fairly well, but when I tried overlapping my sketch with the reference, it was off by a mile! I learned that I tend to try and draw everything a bit tilted to the right which is something that I should probably look into and fix.

I still quite liked how the sketch came out, so I decided to clean it up a bit and add the face!

That wraps it up for the nude figure drawing assignments from term 1! Thanks for checking my topic and any and all feedback is appreciated!
