  • 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

I think the strategy of drawing a lot of stuff and waiting a while to post is good though rather than posting it immediately and then feeling that sadness on the next set of drawing

Hello I'm honored to make your acquaintance,

My username is Alexandritea, but I'm most commonly known as Alexandra :smile: ! I am from Sweden, please forgive me for my lacking knowledge in the English language. I do not draw professionally, even though that might be a future dream of mine. I am currently working hard on my digital comic (webcomic if you will). While my comic is something I'm working on in my spare time I'm currently working at Combination AB which you can find at the heart of Gothenburg city.

I have currently enrolled the full art school program, and I have currently begun working on the very first assignment. My original idea is to upload each assignment, and perhaps other pieces I draw over time which can be used to measure the progress I'm making during this art journey :smile: .
My reason for joining the art school was to help me improve my skills and also strengthen my fundamental knowledge of shapes, colors, anatomy etc.

As a reference I'd like to upload a couple of pieces which I've finished recently to semi-recently to keep as a reference for future pieces. Keeping track of my progress along this long but very educational experience :smiley: !


I will always be open for constructive criticism throughout this journey, and I hope to improve a lot through resilient training these following months/years :smiley: !

Here is my first try at completing the Digital Pen Control assignment.
Please excuse my somewhat shaky lines, I think I redrew each line and shape at least 3-5 times, my wrist was fractured when I was younger :sweat_smile: !

Hello and welcome to the Artschool program! ^_^

Hello again, this is my first go at finishing the second assignment, Image Adjustments. You might notice that I failed at the third part (The fruits/berries), I started to get very frustrated :joy: ! I noticed that my version was much more yellow, but I couldn't figure out how to fix that without ruining the rest entirely. I will definitely work harder on achieving a better color balance :smile: !
I hope it is good enough to pass for now though ^^.

This is my try at the third assignment. I was so short on ideas, it was ages ago i did this last. Even though I feel like it turned out messy I at least had fun creating it :smile: . I tried finding stock images that I could use, But eventually I just grabbed some photos off of Google. I'll link as many as I can find that I used :smiley: ! (Unfortunately I do not know who the original photographer is, maybe except for the mountains).

Skeleton Snake
Rattle Snake
Mountain In the background

Added some apples to the basket :smile: ! Of course not perfect, but I'm not completely unhappy this time ^^ !

Hello, I have now finished watching the nude figure drawing video and immediately begun working on the first assignment :smile: .
The challenge was to grab photo references of people and draw a "skeleton" over them. I had trouble finding suitable references, but I ended up using Senshistock's photos. You can find her deviantart account here: SenshiStock Deviantart Account.

I tried to pick pieces that were both beginner friendly and challenging and ended up with these ten pictures. I noticed that I had severe issues figuring out the angle of the limbs when they were almost or completely right in front of the eyes. Meaning that you could barely or not at all see the top or bottom of the cylinders.

I feel like i've learned a lot through this assignment though :smiley: , and I'm excited to try to draw these from imagination and/or referencing them (not tracing).

Here's all links in order:
(I will make sure to nofity her of the use of her poses :smile: ).
Try #1: Float Up Pose
Try #2: Swing
Try #3: Step Aside
Try #4: Low Angle Pose Reference Magical Figure Model
Try #5: Forbidden Hades
Try #6: Free Of It
Try #7: Tip
Try #8: Rawrwrrwrr
Try #9: Playful Girl
Try #10: Sailor Mercury

Hi alexandra! First off, your english is pretty good. Second, can you share your adjustment layers for that photoshop exercise with the girl at the beach? Yours was pretty spot on and I was wondering how you got there :smile:

Happy Journey!
