Term 1 - Ezekiel

Hello, i'm Ezekiel, I'm an economics student reconverting into art ! I love digital art, I've discovered this passion after seeing Marc's art, so i'd like to express a big thanks to him.
By the way, I'm just beginning term 1 since I haven't had much time until now, hence why i'm posting so late.

First, I'd like to post the photoshop assignments that I've done.

I was too lazy to do all photoshop assignments in one go, so I decided to practice nude figure drawing in between and i'd like to share my work, hoping that it's not too sloppy.

Male-Female proportions :
I've tried to give the hair a manga feel

Full figure drawing :

And as an extra, as I really felt like drawing and coloring a complete character, I decided to draw Alexstrasza, a character from World of Warcraft, I slightly modified the original pose and tried to paint it properly.

Here we go, I've posted a lot at once, feel free to comment, or give any advice that could help me i'd really appreciate it. Thanks

Adding the gesture drawing assignment

Hello again, I'm done with the last two photoshop assignments. I've had quite a few technical problems when I was doing these.
It was not hard, but i must say I am quite surprised by the amount of things you can do with photoshop, this is the first time i try to edit photos etc, I was mostly interested in drawing before starting art school, but this is really convenient !

Alright, let me show you what i've accomplished

As for the photo montage, if I may call it this way, i've chosen the following pictures :

The dove is a render, didn't do much with it, I just wanted to make my final production a little cuter !

And here's my final production, I tried so hard to make it look ok. At the beginning I didn't even know what I wanted to make, so I kept looking for pictures and doing random stuff that looked atrocious, in the end I matched a few pictures I liked, made several masks, saturation, color balance etc and that's how I ended up with this.

My first perspective assignment is the one point perspective room, it was the most exciting one in my opinion, at least to start understanding how guide lines work and so on. It's quite different than drawing characters, it was completely new to me, but once you grasp the thing it becomes pleasant. The hardest in drawing a background is really knowing what to put, I wanted to make a background from scratch but ended up following Marc's, drawing from imagination as a beginner has its limits.

Getting closer to term 2 ^^
