  • 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?
  • 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 you

Hi, im Carlos i recently bought the first term of art school and i just finished nude figure drawing. Im gonna upload some of my practices but something i dont get about figure drawing is how to apply that to a drawing, should i draw over it an erase the lines or should i use it as a reference and have it near me. I´ll be thankfull is someone can help me with that.

Hey Carlos! Welcome to the Forums! keep practicing those figures and I look forward to seeing your progress!

Welcome to the forums! so for your figure question, it is used primarily as something you do to study the form of the body and measurement techniques, so you can use it as a reference or you can draw on top of it so its really up to you how you want to use it. You can apply the use of figure drawing to an actual drawing by using it as ref or once you finish using it for ref you can then turn it into a character of your choice and make it a personal piece afterwards

Hope that helps explain it if not let me know. :smile:

Thanks for the reply :smile:
I tried making a character using the figures and then doing it again but without them, and i think that although its not perfect it transmits better the pose i was trying to do :smiley:. The one on the right is the one with the figure drawing. still look weird tho, i guess i need to learn anatomy too.

I made this fanart today using figure drawing, i used a reference but i still think it looks weird. I´d really like some feedback of the drawing/painting :smiley:

can't really point anything out anatomy wise but the face is too flat in a side angle you should see the transition between the brows and the nose have a dip in between them

your head seems to be missing the cranium(back part of the head) as well it should have a bit more space on the back.

I also feel like the hair sticks too close to the head try to remember that hair has volume to it so you should show more volume with your hair. The lighting or colors also don't indicate where the chin ends and the neck begins so that makes the neck look weird as well

The brows should wrap around the head more and the ear looks too squished as well. This is all based on if you're going for a more realistic face as well so that's all that I saw that I could point out. hope it helps if you have questions feel free to ask. :smile:

Thanks for the feedback :smiley: , i really appreciate it!, yeah i have some problems with anatomy and composition, specially if im not using references, but ill keep practicing :smile:

Perspective practice. I didnt undertand how to put the vanishing point, i know is at sea level. but how do you know where to put it if you are making an original piece or you dont see the vanishing point in the reference. Can someone help me with that pls.

so I would describe it as a point that you put on the horizon line that indicates where all your lines have to match. so if you have a room that you plan on making you first have define the horizon line even if it's a room because that defines what you are seeing the bottom or top of an object and then you employ a single dot to where you want the lines to converge. You know where to put the vanishing point based on what perspective you are using and where the horizon line is. it always goes on the horizon line except for 3 point, 4 point, & 5 point. It also depends on do you want the perspective the be warped if so you put the VPs close together in a 2 point set up or if you want it to look normal puts far away from each other off the canvas or paper. one point which is what your doing works by placing the VP on the horizon line no matter what scene your setting up and choosing if you want the room to be seen more straight on or more angled to the right or left based on where on the horizon line you place your VP. Hope this helps and if you need me to explain it better just let me know
