  • 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

Good day :sunny:.
I hope you're all staying safe, still :heart: .

Today I finished another study, I desperately tried to measure the guy just to burn the 1/3 marks into my brain. By the time I started measuring out the woman I didn't make as many red lines to measure. Although I did very often take a look at my previous try as I made some helpful notes :smile: .
I'm still noticing I'm uncertain about the top half, and of course the bottom half still needs a lot of work :smile: . The lady also ended up with very small feet, and not as thick hips as last time, but that might not be objectively wrong ^^. So I'll definitely make sure to do this assignment a couple of times more ^^.

Hey @alexandra.d.93

Good job there, congrats!
And food is always nice 😅

They look pretty good. One question tho: the male model has a lot of the red lines.
Doesn't it get overwhelming/confusing after some point? Or you start with fewer lines and this is just how it ends up after placing the markers?

I like how clean the lines turned out also :smiley:

Cheers,

Thank you very much :smile: !

I added the red lines as I needed them, and even then I could get confused. But I mostly drew them to check a specific point, and then hid that layer ^^.

And thank you for the feedback on the lines, I do draw them in a very messy manner and clean it up later. Although I should be trying to make longer, single strokes more. But my wrist is messed up :sweat_smile:!

I tried to make some gesture drawings today...
It did not go well :laughing:.

I have some problems with stress, so I started with 60 second gesture drawings and made a little over 30 of them I think. As I expected, and as Marc has mentioned, you can very easily start thinking more about anatomy on a 60 second session. But I guess you could call it a soft start at least :sweat_smile:.
For the poses I used https://line-of-action.com/
There were so many kids in these sessions :c . I was hardly ready to draw a full grown human :laughing:.

After I was done I felt a little braver and a little more used to the quick flow of the pencil, so I tied a few 30 second sessions. But not before making a quick one in between to kind of try using what little I had learned in the first try above.


One of the biggest issue I have noticed is that I always focus on everything but the hand and feet, I should definitely try to get the feet in as soon as possible after I've made a rough line of the limbs. I also need to think about making a single line, not many small ones :sweat_smile:.

Hello again :smile: ,
I made a few more 30 second gesture drawings. Still got a long way to go until I can feel the slightest bit happy with these results. But I do feel like these 30 second sessions went better than the 30 second ones yesterday.
I have noticed the I can get mind flooded if there is much foreshortening or many overlapping limbs in the pose. But I do try my best, even though I might not always finish the entire gesture drawing because of it ^^.

Hope you all will have an amazing weekend :heart: .

Really liked how, in this second new exercise, you use more single lines instead of multiple ones. They feel sharper and makes it more clear to understand the pose :smile:

Thank you very much for the feedback :blush:, yes i did try my best to capture the pose through fewer brushstrokes, I'm glad they come across as easier to read :smiley: !

I have been continuing my work on my comic "United We Stand". I didn't work too much on the human, but rather the creatures and surroundings :sweat_smile: !

I have been feeling bad for not getting anywhere on my comic. So i've been trying to get some frames finished. But I Will try to make a schedule for myself to draw frames for my comic and balancing these studies. I am currently drawing some gesture drawings, Will upload them later :smiley:

Third try of making gesture drawings. These ones below are also 30 second sessions and there are 48 of them. Meaning I went on for about 23-24 minutes. At this point I got very tired, I noticed I started making very shaky lines. So I'll quit for today :sweat_smile:.

Honestly just got such depressing news today, I'm not sure I could bare to share them straight away. But as a coping mechanism I made a very quick anatomy sketch. Of course far from perfect as usual. But I really needed something to distract me. I have honestly spent far too long crying for today.

Sorry to hear that @alexandra.d.93 and I hope things get well soon.
Drawing definitely helps to distract and cope with things but also, please reach out to people near you that you feel confident enough to talk about what is going on. That always helps!

Hi @dangras-almeida,
Thank you kindly for your words of encouragement. Sorry for not replying earlier, I have been a bit bummed lately. But I'm doing better :smile: !
