  • 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

Hey. I started drawing this year and really enjoyed it. I started digitally with my huion h420. it's super small, but I thought it would be good to start with and see if I liked digital or not. I've been working with the pen control assignment every day for a week now, but it's still pretty bad. Any help is greatly appreciated.

I also did the image adjustment assignment and started figure drawing. last one was hard -.-

I think I will continue to do daily pen control drawings for a while

Heya fufufan,

First of all, welcome!

Second of all, it seems like when you are doing the pen control exercises you trying to be careful. This is going to sound unintuitive but you want to be faster with your strokes. This is because faster strokes turn out smoother It's going to be difficult at first because of how inaccurate your strokes will become, but after sustained practice your lines will become smooth and accurate.

Also, I want to ask: have you been taught to draw from your shoulder and elbow instead of your wrist? If you draw solely from your wrist I recommend you to try using your elbow and shoulder too.

This is a great effort! Keep it up!

Welcome to the forums! great practice so far. you did a great job on that Mei image adjustment

I tried drawing with elbow and shoulder some times since I know how damaging it can be for the wrist, but I went back to wrist because it looked beyond bad. I'll try doing this exercise not using wrist from now on.

Thank you for advice.

it will look bad at first but once you get used to it they turn out just as great if not better


I still struggle a lot with circles, but I tried going faster. Connecting the lines seems to be the hardest for me. I'm not sure if this is better or not, but I'll continue tracing the circles and start figure drawing more too. I feel like I must get better at the pen control though.

Yes, you definitely improved quite a bit over your first try. Well done!
You're right, going faster helps quite a lot. I find it helps me a lot to "ghost" my lines a few times - practice the motion of the line before actually drawing the line, then when your arm is used to it, you can draw your line with more confidence. Since we're working digitally, if you mess up too bad, just undo, call it a practice, and have another go :wink:

Hey again. This weekend I've mostly practiced circles. I find myself pressing ctrl+z less and less which feels kinda good -.-
still not great, but I think it's much better.
I also did human proportions assignment...

My shoulder started hurting after drawing for 1-2 hours without proper break. Is this normal or should I take more breaks and maybe stretch or something. Sorry if this is shit question, but I thought it was better to ask.

If you rarely draw from your shoulder than yes it's common, had it to at the very beginning when I got it taught on draw a box. If your shoulders starts hurting I would definitely recommend taking a break or doing some streches, you don't want to damage it permanently. I quess it's a good sign too because that way you know that your shoulder is really doing the work. It will only get better from here on out and you will be able to drow for longer.
Have a great day ^^
