For me, none of the stores around me do this either they have them available to buy in some stores but not for you to try out unless its an iPad or something similar
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?in24.1k
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!in47.6k
Which screen tablet are you using now?
I am between a Kamvas Pro 16 (4K) , Kamvas Pro 24 (4K), or possibly going all out on the Wacam MobileStudio Pro to completely replace my Surface.
It's unfortunate not being able to experience what it is like to use these firsthand, it's a lot of money for an unknown difference.
Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Illustration - Assignment 3 - Combining Images
I wasn't very passionate about the "dream house/castle" idea... so I went a different direction with it while still being about "combining images".
Choosing artwork with varying art styles and different lighting directions made it so I had to do a bit more than just image adjustments and spot healing. I had to repaint lighting on the bike and the girl to fit them into the scene better.
The final result isn't perfect (why did I leave the birds in the sky while it's raining? where are the clouds? lol) but if you don't pay too close attention to it, it looks pretty neat.
I really want to skip these basic photoshop things (I have used these tools before) and get to anatomy and gesture... but I am trying to be diligent about the class. I paid for all of it, after all.
I am using a Huion Kamvas 22 plus, but if you want to 4k go for it. I don't really see it as much as a difference it's fundamentally the same experience but its a change of how the screen feels to draw on imo as well as color accuracy. I would go for something based on desk size I made mine fit because I have a very large desk so think about the space that you have to spare. I also feel like you could the same or a better experience with a Huoin or XP-Pen in terms of quality compared to a Wacom(price wise), but I would go for an external display tablet so that if one thing breaks in the tablet you don't have to throw away or fix a whole computer. try watching reviews on each one you are thinking about before buying to get a sense of how they are.
I know you brought the full course but If you want to get to anatomy and gesture you don't have to go in order or watch all of the videos in the program. You can skip to where you want to go and come back to the earlier terms or lessons if you need to polish up on your fundamentals that's what the course is built for. It also can work as building fundamentals until you get to the stuff like anatomy and color slowly so that you have a solid base which makes the rest of the later stuff easier to grasp. I would still recommend watching the relevant videos though just to see if you can get any tips or pointers from them. I spent a day or two on the skeleton exercise in term 1 because I was used to drawing forms in 3d somewhat, so if you know things already you can skip those if you want to get to the stuff you don't know yet. Its your course you brought with your money use it how you want
Term 1 - Photoshop For Digital Production - Assignment 4 - Selections, Liquify, and Heal Stamp
For the last two exercises I tried going the opposite direction of what was shown in the demonstration video, making the older picture look younger and trying to make the girl have the proportions of the alien (nightmare fuel!)

30 Second Gesture
This exercise was infuriating 
I had to restart a few times at the beginning because I'd have less than half the figure represented by the time the time was up. I could easily spend 30 seconds analyzing the pose before even beginning to draw...
Many of the poses were beautiful, it was crushing for the image to flip to the next one while I just had a mis-proportioned stick figure on paper, leaving all the beauty behind.
I do not feel that the majority of these sketches represent the pose/gesture very well. Clearly I have a lot of opportunity in this area to get better.
I will likely do another 30-second session before trying the 60 second. If I were to do 60 now I don't think I will have cemented the lesson that I REALLY need to observe, abstract, and sketch much more quickly than I am used to.
Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing - Practice
More 30 Second Gesture
60 Second Gesture
I still don't like 30 second gesture 
A stick figure for me is not enough to represent which limbs are in front/behind to be able to be sure of the pose being represented.
With the 60 second sketches I sometimes had the time to outline a volume instead of a line, which helps show front/behind and perspective.
I still think I am very focused on basic construction... my understanding is gesture supposed to capture flow and energy. I am just not there yet. Plus many of the poses that I have used look relatively static with little energy in them (though I suppose I could exaggerate the pose to try to fabricate energy).
I see plenty of opportunity here: proportions, balance of the pose, and grounding are all areas that could use improvement. More practice required.
Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing - Figure from Reference
For this first reference drawing of this journey, I wanted to snapshot every 5 minutes of the drawing to show how I progress through the sketch. I am hoping I can get faster at getting to a point equivalent to my current 20 minute mark.
The final result looks pretty good to me, despite being a bit different from the reference in a few places. The main thing that I see that I would rather be closer to the original is the thickness of both arms, the closer arm should be a bit bigger and the further arm a bit smaller to really sell the perspective/depth.
If it helps you do a basic skeleton like you start with the line of action and then place your ribcage and pelvis circles and then connect your arm and legs. That's what I did for my first time doing 30 second gesture and most of the 30 second gesture is there to get your brain to focus on the important parts of the pose and exclude the details so that you can do the same thing for say 1 min. or 2 min. gesture. I think your poses look fine, but if you want more people to see it and give feedback I would join the discord if you haven't already a lot more people are active on there during the day.
Oooh you did really great on this drawing! I think you really nailed the overall shape and volumes!
For the 30 sec gesture drawings a tip: for me a thicker brush / pen worked better, it gave me more freedom and lightness. (But keep whatever works for you 
)
