Nice foreshortening work!
thanks man
copy number 4, the Bounty Hunter from Darkest Dungeon. Though I like the character, he was a lot harder than the last one and I had a tougher time trying to make it look accurate. For the last one I will try and choose something a bit more simple.
today and last nights gesture drawings (30 minutes, 30 seconds each), I think the ones in red came out pretty ok
Lineart copy number 5, of Dismas from Darkest Dungeon. Though I'm not super happy with the way it turned out, I am still glad that I was able to make it through week 3, and look forward to going into week 4.
Eyyy keep up the good work
dis be lookin cool!
thanks bro, I hope I am able to keep up with the week 4 workload lol
first day of week 4, the first go at the bodily proportions exercise. Though I have done bodies before a fair bit trying to do it like this messed me up, especially the shape of the torso and the hands in particular.
Day 2 of week 4, I did the second go at the bodily proportions exercise, and the firs try at 1 minute gestures as well as the 1 and 2 point perspective cubes.Though the bodily proportions could be better, I think they are a bit cleaner than yesterday, and they didn't take as much time because I have done them once before already.I think the gestures went fairly well, I look forward to doing more.lastly is the 1 and 2 point perspective boxes, which went alright enough. I am now going to keep watching the perspective video.
Mike mignola's style is simple but at the same time so hard to replicate. you really need to understand shadows, what and how to simplify them and all that...In case you haven't seen this, heres a video of an analisis to his style, pretty useful!
yeah I know exactly what you mean. It seems easy until you actually sit down and try to do it
second go around at the 1 and 2 point perspective boxes. Yesterday was the first time I has done these digitally but I have done them a bunch in the past on paper. So once I got my act together and made it a bit neater they came out better I think.
Second to last day of week 4, tonight I finished the perspective assignment 1 where you have to draw a room in 1 point perspective. It was very hard, but I think I was able to do it alright because I have a bit of experience with perspective before I started the course, whereas I didn't for things like copying characters. The main mistake I made was that when I took the picture it was slightly off kilter, so instead of everything lining up, in the reference some things like the bed are not converging on the main vanishing point. So I tried my best to work around this in the piece itself. I hope I did alright, and thanks to the people in the Discord server who helped me when I was stuck.
last day of week 4, I did the regular dailies. Out of all the body proportion dailies, I think this one came out the best even though it could still use work.
first proper day of week 5, the measuring and replicating figures daily assignment took the lions share of brain cells today. It took me a while to eventually just use the heads on the reference itself as measurement rather than screwing around trying to use my stylus as compared to the screen of my computer (that didn't really work). Then making the figure itself was fairly difficult, but I think having a reference that close by helped. Tomorrow I will try and do it better.
Day 2 of week 5, I practiced gesture more deliberately today, and I think I may be on to something? When I really tried to avoid making the shapes of the pelvis and ribcage at first, I was able to get the movement across easier. I was able to get this for the one I circled in black, but I am not so sure if I was able to get it as well with the gesture session itself.For the second go of measuring and replicating figures, the whole thing wen far smoother now that I measured with head lengths straight off. The main things I made mistakes on first go around were the size and position of the shoulder and left leg. I also found I was able to use negative space to more accurately get the right arm in. Overall I think today went ok, I just hope I'll have enough time to do my 5 copies of lineart.
I finished my first lineart copy for week five tonight, I am behind because of school and life, but I will try to catch up some over the weekend. For the copy I chose Door from Hunter The Parenting again because: 1) He is my favourite character, and 2), last time I drew him it turned out ok. I think this copy also turned out ok, the main thing I think I missed was the variance in line weight between the shotgun and his arm, as well as the rest of his body.
Saturday's copy, I did Rathraq from the comic "Rumble." The illustrator (James Harren) is one of my favorites so I really wanted to try and give it a go. Honestly, I am happy with how it turned out.
ooh very nice lineart!
Great work! I think you nailed it
