  • 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, at first sorry for my English :blush: Ok so im 34 years old. I'm from Poland. I dont wanna work in factory anymore.. Waking up early in the morning "before chickens wake up" is killing me slowly.. I know its, a long way to be a proffesional digital artist but im determined and im gonna do my best to achieve that. I didnt finished any art school. I'm trying to learn from the internet. Im gonna post my works here + on my instagram. I would be happy if someone will help me to improve like critic my "works" or give tips like u should focus on this on this before u do this n that. Ok so lets see how much i grow after all chapters of this course.
Some images i did already to grab your attention

Hey there, welcome aboard! Looks like you already have some interesting ideas. Can’t wait to see your progress.

One early tip: Just make sure you don’t go too fast, take your tine and put a lot of work on the most basic things to build a good foundation

Cheers!

Im trying to do a lot of basics like simple shapes and 3d shapes, deform them etc. But ive got no idea when to stop doing this n start doing something else... Im like drawing cylinders etc, then i draw death nature, again shapes, then some landscapes ( all out of reference ). Im so confused... i hope this course will help me do this in correct order. I didnt even tried once to create a character because i know there's a lot of anatomy etc to learn. Anyway ty for tip mate :smile:

I totally understand. Back in the day I felt lost, now I found Marc 😂 seriously though, it can be hard to know “what to do” to get better.

From what I can tell, there’s no one right answer or clear road. So any road with clear objectives will take a lot of these decisions from being an additional roadblock to learning art. In the end, the road (this or other courses or self teaching) will eventually lead to the person learning what the fundamentals are, how they affect and how to use them to make art, gain the dexterity to make the marks and gain the observational skills and visual vocabulary that will allow that person to create what they want

Now that said, I think this course and this community is excellent and the road so far has been highly fullfilling for me (I am still a noob but have learned so so much)

From my short time here I can say, take it slow but keep it fun and definitely share what you want as the feedback (both what is good and constructive criticism) can lead to epiphany after epiphany and, especially at the beginner phase - lead to huge art gains.

When I say take it slow, what I really mean is do things at your comfortable or slightly uncomfortable pace. Push yourself, but just a bit. All the assignments in term 1 can be done by anyone, but even if next terms are exciting, try levelling up as much as possible in each term before taking the next step. Keep repeating the assignments until you feel you are ready for more complexity and if you have the chance or time for it, seek additional info to complement your education.

For me personally, that would be through books and youtube. So as I go about the art school, I am also watching some videos here and there, and reading at least one book per term. The first term I read art fundamentals (3D total, and highly recommend it for basic theory on art)

Sorry for writing a whole essay there, I wish you good luck and you can count on my help - within the grasp of my limited knowledge

Cheers!

Welcome to the forums!

Your art's looking quite nice already :smiley: can't wait to see how much you improve!

Thank u guys :smile: I know the road is gonna be long n hard but i like to draw anything even if its "borning fundamentals" So that makes hope that i wont give up :smile: Good thing is that i have a lot of time to draw so i can spend much more than 2 hours a day for drawing.

Welcome to the forums! I hope you find what you want!

Ok guys so i have first question. How I should practice perspective? I mean i should do more different perspectives with simple shapes witch is pretty fast to do so i can do a lot of this or maybe i can do more complex excercises like trying to draw rooms, streets etc. but this takes more time to finish like few hours ( for me ). If i should do more complex things then should i also try to practice value etc? or just make simple rooms / streets etc without light n shadow just trying to do it in proper perspective ?

hmm depends on how much time you have.. when u dont have as much time, do something more simple, but when you have more time, try to do more complex stuff for good practice.

tbh i need to practice perspective more tooo lool
