Yann Haelflin - Art School Journey

[LesleyCarol]

Thank you! I'm actually a returnee and posting all my old stuff for now, but it definitely feels like I'm starting a new chapter

[xefline68]

Hello there !

I haven't post here since almost a month and after 8 month of full time Art School, yesterday i finally started Term 4, so i think it's time to see what i've done this last 20 days.

i struggle a bit with back muscles, most on proportions of scapula muscles and Trapezius.

my beginnings on Term 4

I also do a little study on Drapery, 'cause physic of fabrics and clothes are something i have difficulties to fully understand, i don't find the way to simplify and make believable folds.

i focused on rendering it's something i like to do, kinda sculpt the painting, it's pretty fun

And i worked a bit on my Fyreslayer, """finished""" the skin for the moment, and add SSS (subsurface scattering) but i'm not confident with for the moment so it can be too present or discreet idk.

i started working on armour parts, and we're i was relatively confident on my goldlike work on runes, i'm way less on flat armour parts.

Uhhh the drapery looks awesome!

Heyho Xefline!
I think you did a very good job on those assignements, one minor thing regarding your anatomy study: make sure to correctly connect the latissimus dorsi and teres major to the humerus! I did a little drawover based on an anatomical illustration:

Hope that helps, keep up the good work!

[LesleyCarol]

Those fabric studies look beautiful
I also love the style you drew the leg muscles in!

[xefline68]

Thank you !
I just draw the legs using Mark process and style, this look much better than my knotty muscles, like my back muscles

Hi everyone,

I beginned a Master Study of Astri Lohne arts, who's my favorite artist

i focus colors ,currently it's somethig i haven't so much knowledges, so it's really sketchy.

WIP

I strated this one today, realy like this illustration, i think i'll push it far as i can and make of it a fanart

Also worked on the armour of my Fyreslayer, just need to finish the belt and i finally can start beard ans hairs

and i did back Legs Muslces

next step i think is hands/feet and after that full body

[HANDRO]

good stuff, I like their composition work. will have to keep an eye on Astri Lohne.

[mau.wamp]

Haha, yeah Astri's art is really impressive!
And her youtube channel is also really great.
Just a quick note on your anatomy study:
I cant quite put a finger on it, but the muscles of the proximal thigh look a little off to me, maybe double check your study with some anatomical reference.

I found that using these as reference can be really helpful to understand the volumes of each muscle.
Hope that helps!

[xefline68]

Thanks,
i spot clearly my errors, i will do this assignement one more time before moving on the next, it won't hurt me

[xefline68]

ooooh i need to dust off my topic !

i'm really not regullar on here

1st of all in this month, i applyed correction on back legs muscles and begin arms

also finished my master study

and i finally finished my 1st personal piece, after all this time

[xefline68]

Hello there,

I begined hands and feet study lately, i think hands will be a good challenge

and did a study from Loki

[mau.wamp]

Awesome study! I think you captured his character really well. Good job!

[xefline68]

Hey everyone !

Those two weeks have been full of new studys

i started with hands

it's so pleasant to see the difference between 1st day and a week later, i thinks i'll try some hands from memory this week.

I also started hair study, i'm currently using master piece from Sean "Raiko" Tay and Bo Chen as ref

and i finished this week with Term 4 : Anatomy 3 assignement
full body from memory (not entirely in my case, i needed ref for muscles insertions on the knees and forearms).

[mau.wamp]

You‘re doing a great job on these studies. I particularly like the hair studies, the look awesome!!

[LesleyCarol]

Your color choices are so good

[xefline68]

You certainly talking about hairs study, the color are not my choice, there both replication from two masters pieces
it's the beginning of the study, so i focus "how these artist structure hairs".
but your compliment mean the colors i peak are close of the original ones and work well together, thanks a lot !

[LesleyCarol]

The colors you chose for the muscle study look good and the fact you picked colors that were close to the original for the hair is great. Overall I think you're good at choosing colors

[xefline68]

Hi !
did a little armor study today

1st time i study an armor, so it's crappy, but the next will be better !
