Zaulta’s Sketchbook

Yo, I'm a junior in high school and someday later I want to be in the illustration industry at a professional level : ^). I used to have a sketchbook on the concept art forums where I posted a lot, but it got shut down during a few months ago. I started drawing more seriously about a year and a half ago. Trying to learn as much as I can right now before I apply for college, so anything is wanted : ).

Sorry for the wall of text and pictures : ^). I think it's important to see my progress.

January 2019 - someone from the conceptart forums led me into the right direction < 3, they had me start to focus on the forms of shapes and such and got me started into perspective with a perspective book

April 2019 - Did another self portrait from the mirror and it took less time and was a lot better : ). Also did a quick Mulan fanart thing for a school club. Definitely think this was a turning point for my art progress

April-June 2019 - started to bring my sketchbook wherever I went and sketch the people around me mainly at school, it really brought my observation skills and speed skills up because I made myself draw people accurately while their moving. Also, started applying some stuff I learned from the perspective book.

June 2019 - birthday present photostudy for a friend's bday gift

July 2019 - tried to apply more of the perspective book's content in general and a fanart of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer

August 2019 - started getting into digital art seriously with Krita :^ ) kept on using the airbrush tool which was not good. Also started to get into environments and such

September 2019 - Started to get into acrylic painting and more painting in general

My dnd character @-@, it had a lot of planning on paper with it, but I ended up disappointing and kinda gave up

October 2019 - The art teacher assigned all of inktober for october, which made me very upset : ^), but here are some of the ones I liked best. The self goal for this was to draw all from imagination, with only some inspiration pictures only.

Gonna post more recent things tomorrow and start posting what I do everything on here, so enjoy heh heh.

A photo study that's more recent

Another photostudy that was recent, trying to get better at doing edges and stuff

I had to start an art class assignment due right after Thanksgiving break , so I decided to put some effort in it this time. I made a back story on my head but in short it's a teenage boy leaving his clock tower home and it was inspired by this song : ).

process photos and planning:

Finished what I was working on today, but now to write my artist statement for the art assignment : ^). Might put it up for critique on the forums sometime later.

For my goal for this month, I want to get better at painting in general since I'm still very new to it. Mainly maintaining edges and developing a good sense of colors, so when I do photo studies I'll try not to just make the colors similar to the photo.
