Tony T. - Art School Journey

[Tony.T]

Thanks for the kind words!

[mitsuki-youko]

ooh these b lookin great!

[Tony.T]

Did some heads from imagination, some of them are a bit uncanny especially the first ones and i can't really tell why, i feel like it has something to do with the eyes but i'm not sure. Any feeback would help a lot here!
They're all meant to be pretty generic so next i'll have some experimenting to do with pushing and pulling the proportions to see what kind of result i can get

[Araita]

That's a good job! You'll be really good at drawing those with references!
I think I had a similar issue but with mine, the problem was - eyeballing the circles, ellipses, and lengths for proportions- when I started checking them most were slightly off either side- what helped was just drawing a few faces with meticulous measuring and your brain kinda clicks and sees how to correct things as you go later on. Hope it helps?
Cheers!

[Tony.T]

I gotta admit the eyes are to one part i didn't use much measurement or construction for because i feel like i didn't need it, but looks like i do lol
Time for more practice on the proportions then!
Thank you so much for the advice, it helps a lot

[Tony.T]

Finally done with this assignement, it took me way longer than expected mostly because i kept messing up the measurements on the spacing of objects
Also i had no idea what to do with the small amout of ground unfortunately

[mitsuki-youko]

woah its so pretty! i love the little "clip" looking thingies that are on the closest roof. it looks so smooth and aesthetic!

[Tony.T]

i'm glad you like them because they were a pain to make haha

[Tony.T]

Some expression study

[mitsuki-youko]

ooooh this one looks great, though the hair in the back looks a tad bit too stiff

[Tony.T]

yeah i struggle with hair and got lazy on this one i gotta admit

[Tony.T]

Had to take a needed week break because i started getting overwhelmed with irl stuff
I've started taking a schoolism class about realism, it mostly talks about values edges and colors
This portrait is a mix of what i've learned about the anatomy of the face and values on scoolism
I also did some research about ethnic features and tried to make her look asian, i'd say it mostly worked except for the lips which i'm not really satisfied with

[funslub1996]

Pretty cool drawing Tony, I see some potential in you.
Yeaa I felt the lip kinda weird too. Maybe try blend lip and skin colour a little bit to not feel too edgy unless your objective is with lipstick then no need. The Oral commissures are asymmetrical too (Right side hook up, but left side does not hook up). The upper lip tubercles maybe brighten up and small V shape at the top maybe.

Here is my attempt, not the best but appealing to me. Hope it help u out brother.

[Tony.T]

Oh it looks a lot more natural on your version, i guess the v on the upper lip does makes a big difference
It helps out a lot thank you!

[Tony.T]

Getting back on track, some clothing folds study

[Tony.T]

I haven't been able to finish pieces lately, i've been learning so much about fundamentals especially about values and that i'm never satisfied with how it ends up looking. I guess thats means my eyes and standards are progressing which is a good thing. I'm maybe a bit scared of losing the creativity but only doing studies, not even sure that's a thing.
But learning and doing studies can actually be pretty addicting too so i'll ride the wave for now

Here are some studies related to the Artschool Program and some 3 values studies
