  • 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

But nothing is discouraging enough to make me quit drawing. 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 everyone,
I am a Brazilian guy living in Sweden that always loved to draw but never took it too seriously !
So I am a beginner in the world of digital drawing and using the programs x) !
My setup is a Xp pen Innovator 16 drawing tablet and the program that I am using/learning is Krita since its free and had a lot of good reviews!

I would love any form of feedback from anyone on the things i post here, cuz I feel that being engaged with the community will help my motivation and thus my improvement!!

Here is my first assignment, still getting used to the feel of drawing on the tablet x) so you can see my shaky lines x) !

And here is the image adjustment assignments, it was kinda difficult with the difference interface from Krita to the professor examples on Photoshop, but still fun !

And finally the dream house assignment that I had fun with some typical things from were I used to live in Rio de Janeiro, you guys can clearly see what i have added in the beach background hahahahahahahha so still some room for improvements there !

Apr '21

I have skipped the other image manipulation exercise because i had a lot of trouble getting good with the selection tool in Krita but i did the human figure exercises.

Here it is the simple skeleton ones, i feel like my shapes for the torso and pelvis are a little bit off, idk... i used this site for the models, its really nice ----> http://reference.sketchdaily.net/en

and i just finished the cylinder ones, the last male one was kinda tricky but o chose him because of that difficult pose as well x)

again any feed back is super welcome !

Apr '21

I feel like this helps to visualize the reference better

Apr '21

Welcome and good work. Although it looks like #4 still needs work.

Apr '21

Hey hey, thanks for the reply!
Yeah my #4 is not that good, but i have tweaked a lot with the Krita colors, shadows and highlights manipulations tools and didn't got close to the reference, the only way that i think i could do it if i were to select different parts of the image with the selection tool and individually change the selected area and so on, but i thought that was not how i was supposed to do that so I gave up x) .

Apr '21

gotcha, Im on photoshop so i cant help much however i do know that it should be done as a whole not in sections.

Apr '21

Took me sometime to update here cuz i was working all day, but here it is the female and male proportions part of the class, that opened my brain in some proportions parts that i really liked, but still a lot of room for improvement !

Apr '21

HEEEEEELP :laughing: !!!!
My god, this part of drawing a reference with the proportions right and fitting in the same place is giving me some work!
I haven't figured out a way of marking the landmarks of the reference body in an accurate way, and the way Marc show his explanation is super fast due to his skill, i saw that part of the class like 20 times already but my first attempt was kinda off.
Like this thing of holding the stylus head to measure distances is not working for me in the digital area, and on his videos he used that measurement inside the canvas, almost like a digital ruler ( which if I were to do that sounded like cheating cuz i could measure straight from the body in that case ).
I find that doing the vertical line of the total height and the horizontal line of the total width and doing the box helps a lot, but its still hard to pin point the important landmarks like elbows, hands, knees, sholders e etc... with only the square.
Well here is my first attempt :sob:

And here is with the line ''art'' on top of the reference

My extreme landmarks are kinda ok like the feets and the hands but when i try to drawn from the eyeballing I loose track, as you can see.
Look at that elbow x) jesus !

Anyone have any tips for this exercise please :sweat_smile: !

Apr '21

here is another work in progress, but i havent figured out a way of measuring the distance correctly, using my thumb or stylus on the screen and then moving into it to draw doesn't seem intuitive idk....

any help is super appreciated here !!!!

Apr '21

not sure what your setup is, but ideally for that process you wouldn't want to move (at least not your head because it will throw off your sense of distance). its supposed to be used when a painter has the canvas propped up in front of them. with the reference to the of the canvas so that they don't have to continuously move around. You might also be struggling if your doing this with a drawing tablet instead of a display tablet because your hand eye coordination might be thrown off. at least that's how it feels when i use a drawing tablet.

I use that method to get the distance between joints, worrying less about the shape and more about the distance. after i have the proportions and spacing correct, i start to look the actual shapes. this doesn't work for architecture however for anatomy is seems to do the trick for me. hope this helps.

Apr '21

Thanks for the reply! My setup is a display tablet.
The thing is, i am really used to drawn really close to the screen, so in order for me to extend my arm the way it shows on the class i have to distance myself from the screen and hold my arm against my ear so i don't mess with the distance and measure, but then when I go to the display tablet i am far away from it because of my arm so when it comes to mark the measurements i took of the reference in the digital canvas I lose track of what I have marked when I get close to draw. It's feeling really weird and non intuitive doing that idk 😥.
Even doing the square sometimes to fit the silhouette is kinda tricky with this straight arm method. I feel like I am doing something wrong...

Apr '21

gotcha. while it was used with a straight arm, its not ideal when doing digital art. as long as you maintain a constant position from your drawing tablet and your reference it should work. Just remember to not zoom in and out of the digital canvas as well. as this will mess up the scale of your proportions.

maybe this will help as well.

hey man that video actually helped a lot !!!!!
Big thanks :smile: !!!
So i think i got better a hang of this measurement technique, but still i need a lot of practice, which is kinda hard working full time as a chef :sweat_smile: but i will get there, so i can advance !!

Apr '21

Here is the outline of my second attempt.

I looked nicer than the other one but when i put it on top of the reference i still go crazy as you can see here

I am most likely doing something wrong with the measurements technique, I am now trying to use a separate pencil to measure cuz the stylus is so fat and curvy x).

Apr '21

I was thinking of going to sleep cuz i have to open the restaurant tomorrow but i needed to try another one!!!!
and i think i am starting to understand more about looking at landmarks and use the distance between them to locate yourself better, and i am currently using a pencil on top of my display tablet to measure the distances, i think that is really helping me, and as @HANDRO said do not change the zoom distance !!!!
here is the beginning of my 3rd try

edit: also looking at negative spaces really helps as well and doing the outlines.

Apr '21

You got it, regarding the accuracy of the outline, it gets better with time. the more you do it the easier it gets. glad i was able to help.

Apr '21

finished here the outline now that i got from work !!!
I am pretty happy with the results, i tried to give him some details but i still not sure how to add shades e shapes when i tried to start his left feet, and still getting used to change the brush sizes as well maybe that is too advanced for me now x).
The head is a lil bit off but i will still practice this more.

But yeah here is the results, i think i am going to advance for the figure drawing part which sounds fun.

Apr '21

okaaaay, gesture drawing :smile: !!!!
that was fun, it was kinda of therapeutic being kinda loose after the last exercise :sweat_smile:
well here it is the ones that i had 30 seconds to drawn.

and here it is the 60 seconds one .

I know its kinda hard to say something about this type of exercise, but i can say this, sometimes i did some shapes that was like ''wow that turned out better that i expected'' but i discovered that when a body is upside down i kinda ''bug'' to where should i start drawing :joy: there is one in my 60 second one that its just like wtf happened there hahahahahah :joy:
