Uggie - Art School Journey

[uggievang]

Oh yea feel a lot better now just need to warm up a bit more before getting back into things

this last one is a redraw of an old drawing i really liked before

[gregorya]

Nice work on the action shot and the foreshortening looks great.

ok just some doodles and stuff to get me back into the mood (these also seem to have uploaded out of order for some reason)

If you choose the pictures in a certain order, It usually uploads in the reverse order, but you can correct them before you post the pictures.
The foreshortening of the first one looks good, and there are also nice sketches.

[uggievang]

Ah i dint know it uploaded it backwards I always thought when you bulk upload it just randomly does it ill have to do that next time

just a little study on a picture of my friends mom still a wip

[gregorya]

I noticed it when I was uploading gesture drawings and other images I upload. Most of the time, I have to re-arrange them in the order I want before uploading them.
Nice work on the sketch so far

[uggievang]

Yea I know what you mean I think to get it a certain way i have to upload them one file at a time

todays sketches didnt have too much time so this is what i have done dont mind the legs I'm going to do the lesson tomorrow

Looking good! Love the pose on the gesture drawing practice on the top right. That curve is pleasing to look at

[squishy_pea]

Great stuff capturing the dynamic action there !

thank you yea was trying to practice action poses glad to see they turned out

Great stuff capturing the dynamic action there !

Thanks

ok progress on that other drawing let me know your thoughts on the hair its kinda a weird texture so i wasnt too sure how to approach it
here is the reference i used

[daceronine]

Exercices look good! Potrait is also coming along really well! Values are coming along really nice. Are you planning on adding color? or will it be a BW potrait? For some reason a rock band image comes to mind, but I can't quite nail down who.

I think I want to add color but im always kinda bad at applying color to black and white drawings. haha yea that wig really screams 70s rock

ok today I finally moved onto legs and also some other drawings gotta say its a little overwhelming haha

[uggievang]

[daceronine]

nice sketches. Still impressed you do all this on physical, I'm way to used to the digital conveniences.

[uggievang]

Maybe its easier for me because its harder to erase so it makes me commit to a drawing a bit more and also it might be because I have more space to use my arm to draw idk if its just me but when I use a tablet I dont have the full range of motion I need to fully use my arm.

Im redrawing this pic because it has a lot of anatomy and I can see how much I've changed art styles and my art confidence over the years I also have a speed paint of an even older one I made before this

[uggievang]

[uggievang]

Re did the line art cuz I didnt like how the other one looked added a bit of color now I just gotta render it

[uggievang]

done i might of gone a bit overboard on the filters but I think it turned out well. Ok now time to going back and looking at more anatomy studies.

[gregorya]

Nice work on the harpy and pegasus. I also like the fighting poses and the sketches I like the second picture on June 7th with the energy around the boy.
Nice work on the leg muscles. I also see your improvement on the redraw. You have improved pretty well.

[uggievang]

@gregorya Thanks been a nice couple months drawing and learning

Here are some arm studies and leg studies gonna need to study the legs a bit more still a bit of a mystery to me

[daceronine]

Arm muscles seem well structured, seems you have more experience with them.
On the leg what stands out is that the Rectus Femoris is pushed up a bit too much. Even though it's squeezed in between both Vastus, it still pokes and connects at the knee

Also worth looking at the overall form of the gluteus maximus and medius, especially the medious, since it ataches to the bone at the side. I guess a simple way to see it is that it "covers the gap from the hip bone (ilium) to the femur"

And then the gluteus maximus covers the other gap over it and behind.

All those intersecting muscles get rough though, I've still to learn more about the back of the leg.

[uggievang]

ah ok when I was looking at Marc's lesson I was a bit confused as how the gluteus maximus what attached to the side of the body and also the back but that side view actually helps a ton. Also idk if it was just my reference maybe it was just the really jacked guy I found where his leg muscles where really bulging because I was confused to why it was so high up too but I can see how I drew the muscle to high up now that I'm looking at the reference
