I like the muscle studies. Keep up the practice. I notice that your shoulder muscles have one shoulder bigger than the other in your muscle study torso front and back, also on the lats front. Your poses look pretty good.
Thank you! I finally cleaned that up. Meanwhile started 3 more ..I have a habit of taking too long to finish a piece, then I lose interest in it and just start something else. I found 8 from recently i started and abandoned, that are decent enough to not delete, but not finished. There’s also been a number of drawings I felt I “outgrew” - became better before I finished them, and it would be easier to start from scratch than fix them. Anyone else thinking that?in24.3k
Lady Death Fanart Collectible: Part 6 Polypaint and base Hi, it’s time to share with you another part of the process to create this fanart piece. Polypaint As this is my first collectible fanart I didn’t have previous experience with polypaint so I tried my best and played a bit with it.I wanted to give a ghostly and eerie look to Lady Death, she is beautiful and deadly, but at the end of the day she is a woman that died and was reborn at hell as an avenging spirit, that’s why I gave her skin tone a bluish very cold tone.As you will see I gave myself some creative freedom to deviate from the traditional color scheme that this characater has in comics and illustrations.To add a bit of sensuality by painting some freckles on the face and the chest. The dark nature of this character was the perfect excuse to gave her a kind of goth make up, very dark shadows around the eyes, blue lips and fingernails. I know that the original character includes sexy red lips but I wanted this girl to have a sexy but at the same time creepy look, that’s why we can see some thin veins emanating from her eyes. The biggest chromatic change I did for this character is at the hair. Lady Death has a characteristic white weavy hair but in my fanart I decided to gave her a very saturated blue color.The reason behind this wasn’t only an aesthetic choice. I want that the face area strongly pulls the attention of the viewer so this area needed a stronger contrast. Another reason is that I want her to have a more modern look, as I mentioned before, I’m strongly attracted to women with goth/punk look. I gave myself half an hour or more to analyse the work of experienced sculptors that create collectibles and I discovered that the use of darker values on the skin is often applied to create a greater sense of volume and three-dimensionality. I found that areas with heavy ambient occlusion are the perfect places to paint with darker colors in order to increase the separation between different forms. Even though she has a bluish skin tone, I used a bit of warmer hues in areas that, in real life, tend to go towards red and pink, this is very obvious in the nose, cheeks, and knuckles. Thinking with a logical mind it’s completely absurd to have warmer tones on the body of a zombie like creature but I didn’t want to limit myself by using only blue tones, it looks boring and artificial. In real life these colors are created by blood vessels in areas where the skin is very thin. ** Scythe **for her weapon I applied a cool gray with some warmer variations, this color scheme is influenced by the work of H.R giger. Base I’d like to talk about the design for the base which, to be honest, I forgot to develop along with the character.My main idea with the base is to show that Lady Death inhabits a very sterile and arid land, at the end of the day she is at hell.You can see a that she walks over dirt and rocks, a sign that she’s surrounded by death and loneliness. As part of the landscape we can see some bones and skulls to reinforce the idea of lack of living creatures, yet we can see three hands that try to reach her legs.This hands represent that all creatures are subordinated to her power and seek an evil blessing with a simple touch of the princess of the damned.1- The hand with skin burns represents the souls of those who are newcomers to hell, tortured souls that suffer for the sins comitted on earth.2- The hand with greenish rotten skin and pustules is the reminder of the decay that has infected the souls of those who have been trapped and have forgotten their humanity3- Last but not least, the hand of a demon shows that even dark creatures and entities bow before her presence. The cherry on the top, at least in my vision, are the simese twins that emerge from the ground, this malevolent creatures remind us that in hell there’s only perversion and any trace of innocence is lost. Thanks for reading till this pointI’m really happy to be very close to finish this creative journey, last but not least it’s mandatory to talk about splitting the sculpture in several pieces to be printed, this will be my last entry before showing the final rendered images. See yaMay Zbrush be with youin1.4k

Thank you @daceronine! If I remember I save in google cloud, I will have to stick a note to do it more often. Lamp is from life. Poses are from refs but I look at refs for a while and then try to do it myself and look it up if needed. Outfits and rest is from imagination Something went wrong while installing system so we will have to wipe everything again... pc works but something is wrong. We will wait till internet is done and I will save everything on cloud this time Threads came out in eu. It's been 3 days and I had more engagement than after half a year on instagram. It feels really nice I hope it stays this way A portrait of old dude. It's the same character I posted a while ago. Inspired by Bayard Wu work. At first I thought of him as a bear but I named him Fenrir and I think wolf suits him better. Eye gave me a bit of hard time but I think it is fine now. I focused on face and forgot about area below. The way I draw hair clashes with greying hair. I had the same problem while doing Lohse's white hair. Does it looks like it is greying here? I love how desaturated red looks blue there. I keep lying to myself that I will use different color scheme but It all comes down to this blue and yellowish one it is just flipped this time Have a great day!in48.4k
took some inspiration from @patrycja.lerch trying to redesign my characters tell me which one you guys like the best
Nice work!
For angel I like wings and halo on 2 and overall vibe of 1
Second character looks interesting. I like staff shape. I like 2 most but that's just me loving long coats. 3 has wanderer feel to it with cloak worn this way while the others look more I don't know elegant.
As for the angel, I like the 2nd one. The warrior and mage, I like the 2nd, 3rd, and 4th ones. Mainly for the cloak and cape. Nice work on the gesture drawings.
Thanks I was leaning into 3 too but i really do like the classic long coat look as for the angel I also like the 1st one ill add the wings onto him
Yea I was thinking about adding more armor to the angel I think I'll try to mix on the mage.
as for the next few drawings I've been playing Honkai Star Rail so I took a break first couple of drawings are not so good haha but I really do like the anatomy study
Haha, fine sketches, the last one turned out particularly well. Still impressed at just working on physical, it's been so long I probably can't even do a basic sketch on paper.
The anatomy looks pretty good so far. Mainly the first, third, and fourth ones.
haha thanks something just feels right about it to me
thanks
So IDK if anyone else did this but I kinda skipped the rest of term 3 because I feel like I had no connection to Zbrush. I really dont specialize in 3d work and sculpting so I decided to move to term 4 where the rest of the anatomy lessons where. Let me know if you guys did the same or if I should go back and do them.
anyway here are the notes I took for the first lessons on the arm and hands (the forearm is a pain in the ass to remember ima have to go back to the video so I make sure I know where the muscles go)
Yep, I did as well, as I have no plans to expand or continue work on 3D either, and just getting Zbrush was a bit of a hassle. Pretty expensive too. You could use blender, most people seem to switch to that.
Granted, I had previously learned 3D studio and Maya, so I was familiar with working with 3D space, and even if you don't dedicate your career to it, I have to say becoming familiar with a 3D tool does help improve spatial awareness.
Still, to each their own, we all kinda follow the course in different ways. In that respect, I don't remember if you mentioned it, but are you following the Study companion? if not, I would recommend to try it out, as it expands on the course significantly, and though there is some repetition, I've noticed it has helped me improve considerably than if I had only followed the course videos and basic exercices.
I would also recommend taking a peak at how some others have tackled some of these exercices and references, some have done some truly impressive work, and seeing how others do it also helps take tips from them for your own work.
Exercices look good so far, anatomy is quite a challenge, but also a lot of fun.
Nice study anatomy notes. are you looking to focus on muscles or also bones structure too?
I did some of the Z brushwork with the 30-day free trial. Just enough for the Goblin sculpting and maybe the human pose as well. You can use Blender for the modeling or some other software.
I see the palms of the hands are wide and the fingers are small. I think you should shorten the palms and lengthen the fingers. Nice work on the arms.
@daceronine
Yea I do look at it and follow it lightly I should follow it more but I don't I did follow it pretty close when doing the anatomy stuff and why I asked if the z brush stuff was important . I'll prob go back and try it out one day haha
@Gordon003
Just the big bone groups like the ribs and pelvis and stuff I don't think I need to know exactly what every bone is.
The hand part was really just more of mental notes when drawing the hand I didn't have time to go back and erase to make changes I'll apply it better in my future drawings
This is a WIP applying the anatomy stuff i learned
Those tweaks really helped! I see you also added some highlights for the light effect.
Something else that has really helped me with poses, gesture and anatomy, like, a lot, is to use my camera (I have a simple desktop camera), set it to 10 seconds, pose myself in the exact pose I'm looking for, then crop it use it as a reference to draw the basic gesture, and exagerate features as needed. Sometimes if I have props or a towel I'll pose it as well to get reference for basic form construction.
same lol i figured well if i wanted to learn it down the road, i can just go back n watch it later
haha I wish i could use myself but in quite a big guy so I really don't have the form to take inspiration from myself I do search pinterest endlessly for reference photos so if i were to use myself as a reference I would have to take away from myself haha
Yup I mean I've taken sculpting class in real life at school so maybe 3d will come back in the future.
More anatomy tweaks fixes and adjustment. IDK how to really draw magic so this is an attempt (also the reason why the canvas is so wide is because I actually drew this on my pose practice doc so if I cropped it down it would cut off all my other work.)
Nice work! Though those swirly magics had a certain charm to them. Sparkly effect look pretty cool! I see you also trimmed your lineart for this one.
