Cynder's Art School Journey🤍

[cyndersart]

Hey there, nice to meet you all!

I started my digital art journey in early 2021, found the art school a few months ago! Currently I'm in the middle of term 2, totally fresh so to say. I am super grateful that Marc give digital artists that opportunity with this.

So what's my goal? I want to be able to draw everything I want to. To simply gain the knowledge to express everything I feel and to make people easily recognize the message of my artworks. I'm really a fan of the League of Legends's artstyle so that's the direction I'm aiming to accomplish.

Later I'll be a part time illustrator, offering prints and maybe commissions too!

It's a pleasure to meet you, looking forward to making new art friends here. Also to get inspired by your progress and feedback. Here are some of my works!

Love the poses man! You've got a really good understanding of form and expression!

[cyndersart]

Thanks for your kind words!! Warms my heart!

[cyndersart]

That truly means a lot! Thanks

[cyndersart]

Thanks a lot for your warm words!!

I'm actually drawing for a longer period already, was just the first time posting in this forum Started digital art in 2021 to be more specific!

[cyndersart]

Thanks a lot, that's so nice to hear!

[cyndersart]

That made my day! I'm so happy to read this, thanks a lot for your kind words!

[cyndersart]

Longer time no see haha! Forgot to share it here. This is one of my longest project so far, first time I was drawing material such as golden surfaces and stuff. I hope you like this one!

Hey there, here's a late welcome on my part as I've been away a lot XD I'm just a fellow student here,

Gotta say, I like your use of stylized semi realistic heads with flowey contrast between detailed facial features and loose brush strokes for backgrounds and effects

Couple of things i notice in this piece is the perspective on the sword looks off and something about the way the highlight on the nose goes all the way through and the shadow on the figure's right nostril goes too far up, might have to recheck the structure there

cheers!

[daceronine]

oh I see what snakker says, like it seems you are looking at the character from below, while at the same time being able to see the top of the hilt.

Otherwise the piece looks great!!! Such nice lighting and brush effects.

[cyndersart]

Thanks a lot for your kind words and feedback!!

I'll take care of proper anatomy the next time! I'm already into head studies in order to get everything right.

It's so weird when you start learning to draw from different angles. Might ask for more feedback in future.

But I'm so glad that you guys like the piece! @snakker @daceronine

[cyndersart]

Friend of mine just did a 100 head challenge and it inspired me a lot. The usual challenge is to draw 100 heads in 10 days but that's a little bit too ambitioned respecting the fact that I'm in the middle of a fulltime internship

So let's see if I am able to draw the 100! Anyway, here are the first 8 ones!

[daceronine]

Oh, I think @uggievang was doing the same challenge! Looks interesting. A good way to refine the knowledge of faces and potraits.

[snakker]

These are looking great! Do you use any reference to inspire the sketch or are these just going with the flow?

cheers

[cyndersart]

This and it totally makes sense when you admire a specific artstyle a lot! To figure out what it is that makes it so admirable for you (and in general)

[cyndersart]

Thanks a lot, glad to hear!

I'm using splasharts as reference to get them right
