@liviu.constantinescu, @IndrawnArt, thank you! You are so nice!
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?in24.7k
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.

I just finished watching the first video. Although I sometimes use photoshop, there are some tools I have never used. Clone, mask and Liquify are all very powerful, I can't wait to do the homework.
Below is the first homework I did. I used the ellipse tool to draw circles before, and I felt that I needed a lot of practice.
The following is my pictures adjustment assignment.
I think my last picture may be when it is more sunny 
Your assignments look almost perfect! I had a hard time with the last picture too.
@WeirdOwl Thank you! The last one is really difficult.
/update/
I just realised that I can put my assignments together, so that it looks more comfortable.
By the way, the assignment is submitted here, right?
Welcome Rui!! Yes, the assignments or anything related to Art School is posted here 
@lip3chi That's great! Thank you for your reply.

Just finished the Nude Figure Drawing - Assignments.
I love your line treatment 
two things that kinda bother me is the chair, that I understand that it should be turned but seems that it's kinda falling 
and the heater seem that doesn't have enough space between the wall and the desk, but probably it's okey I didn't check it. Apart from that it's an awesome assignement!!! Are you going to submit it on the next stream? 
I threw some rough lines on here to check what @chiara.arcidiaco noticed with the heater, and while it would technically fit, it would also be directly against the desk (blue), which isn't necessarily a problem, I think what made it look slightly too big is that the top lines of the heater (pink) do not go to the same vanishing point as everything else (including the bottom of the heater). The green circle shows where the top of the heater doesn't line up with the bottom properly. I hope that makes sense, otherwise the room looks really good, keep up the great work!
Thank you, @chiara.arcidiaco I have submitted it, and you are right! The chair isn't on the right perspective. I will modify it : )
@haight_nicholas, thank you for checking it. I may need to modify the heater too. I don't know if you guys have similar problems, because my computer screen is only 13 inches. If I zoom out, I can't see the starting point of the line clearly. If I zoom in, I can't see the end of the line. So I might draw inaccurately from the starting point.
Hello, @chiara.arcidiaco @haight_nicholas, would you mind to help me check the chair? I drew it again according to Marc's instructions, but the curve made me a little confused, and the foot of the chair felt like falling. Poor chair!
Your chair is getting out of the box and it shouldn't happen. You took very hard subject for the beginning study of perspective but I like ambitious people so I will try to help 
it will be messy because I don't know how this chair looks in real life and I guessed perspective lines a bit but these are the steps:
make more boxes in perspective. A box for all you need, for wheels, for both part of chair, or you can even divide it even further for smaller parts. You think of these boxes like about the smallest box possible that could fit the part in. Remember there about propotions - in perspective it may seem like the back part of the chair is in the middle of the box when it should be really much to the end of the sitting.
you have the boxes so you are starting fitting parts in. It is 1 point perspective so you can always move the point from left to the right with just a straight line. Remember about of the tickness of the object because it is probably the greatest difference between professional and beginner work. You can get away with some perspective issues but if you won't get a tickness of the object it will look beginner-like even with perfect perspective. Good luck!
Nice work on fixing the chair, I completely agree with everything @pitrek121 said, the only thing I would add is that if you want the chair to have three legs (instead of 4, or any even number) it gets a little trickier to get the angle of the legs right, and I think the leg on the left should be angled further up, about half way from where it is to the top-left corner. With 3 legs there should be 120 degrees between each of them, so if you imagine (or draw) a circle around the bottom square you can divide that into thirds and that will show where each leg would land, but again, it's kind of tricky, and most of the time you can get away with kind of just eye-balling it, but right now it looks like the left and bottom legs are 90 degrees apart, and they both have 135 degrees between them and the right leg. It would also help to keep the same line weight as the rest of the line where the left and right leg meet the center because we shouldn't be able to see where they connect (like the middle leg).
But like Pitrek said, I must commend you for taking on such an ambitious design on the first project, keep up the great work!
it's actually difficult to make these round/organic objects in perspective because they don't have lots of hard edges, It's kinda difficult also to help you hahah I am not used to do this things 
I think that it's way better than before but I understand your struggle. Maybe you could send us your reference to understand better how it works, if you used one of course haha
@pitrek121, you are so fabulous, you drew the chair almost looks exactly the same although you didn't see the chair.
Actually I didn't draw it outside the box at the beginning, because the chair back has an arc so I extended the box a bit, and then filled it with color, so it might seem to have gone outside the box. Anyway, thank you very much, @pitrek121! Your answer is very specific and very helpful to me.
Also, thank you, @haight_nicholas, I did not carefully observe the angle of the chair. In fact, it has five legs. thank you very much for your reminder.
Thank you, @chiara.arcidiaco for your reply. Here is the chair photo. I should include it at the beginning. Please ignore the messy background.
Finally: I didn't intend to draw such a difficult object on purpose. Thank you all for your help.
I tried to redraw it but it's a very complicated shape 😅 for the stability I think that you should try to do the 5 "legs", it seems more believable. Maybe you could try to pose your chair😂 with the same horizon as your drawing and try to put it aside as a reference. Don't get down for that I think that this is the most difficult prop to add in an interior environment, everybody usually struggle with chairs 😂😂
@chiara.arcidiaco, thank you for your trying. The problem for me is that it is hard for me to take the picture of the same perspective as a reference because the room is too small.
I tried to do with 6 legs so I don't need to worry the angle.
