Gregory - Art School Journey

[gregorya]

This I think is my first post on this part of the forum so this is something that I was working on along with the work in progress:

Here is Enmu from Demon Slayer the movie: Mugan Train. My idea is that he merged with the train and has become a giant demon centipede hybrid. This would have been interesting if it was in the movie.

Hi there welcome to the cubebrush forums! I think that's that's cool idea but I recommend trying to learn anatomy classes because the anatomy is off

Welcome, Gregory!
It's great seeing you around!

[gregorya]

Okay, Good to know. And thank you for the welcome.

[gregorya]

Thank you!

@What_the_dog_doin_tho I do agree with you, anatomy is not necessarily on point, however @gregorya I would not recommend you starting w/ anatomy. There are more basic fundamentals (such as in Term 1) that will improve your work in the beginning stages even more. And properly studying anatomy is tough and requires some skill before you can even attempt it (e.g. you have to rather proficient at constructing basic forms in perspective)
Take your time with the fundamentals and dont forget to do personal work along w/ the studies
Have a great day

Here is some pratice with drawing sketons over photos from Assignment 1. Are you supposed to draw with different colors?

[LesleyCarol]

Yep! I'd say you did it right
It might help to make the lines thinner, and try to make the cylinders straighter instead of trying to follow the contour of the legs and arms.

[gregorya]

Thank you lesley. I thought you're supposed to make the lines contour to the legs. Or is that if it bends. I'll see if I can use a smaller brush next time.

[gregorya]

I thought I'd redo this homework from Photoshop for digital Production. The last part is somehow still a challenge for me with the round brush, so I used a square brush instead.

[LesleyCarol]

I think it's for if it bends. From the example he gave, the cylinders bend a little and taper at the end but the lines are mostly straight.

[gregorya]

I see. Thank you Lesley.

Here's a quick environmental study of an apartment complex. It could be reference for a fortress.

This right Here is some volume drawings and some shading.

[gregorya]

I'm still working on the action poses with a different brush to make the lines a little thinner.

Hi gregorya,

Good work on your practices!

If you are okay with some feedback: I think you would benefit from doing a routine exercise (5-10 mins top, but you can do more if you want) drawing basic fundamental forms (cubes, cylinders, spheres, and triangles) over and over in a 2D and 3D space but with the goal of keeping your lines as clean and small (under a size 5-3, and draw as slow as you need) as possible to maximize your pen control.

I also like to do drawabox and think that could also be a benefit to you as well if you want to look into it.

Keep up the good work!

[gregorya]

Hi CKCKrafts,
I've been drawing shapes, and volumes for a while, but I'm a bit out of practice. But here is some forms I did a few months ago. I'll see if I can maximize my pen control. The drawbox sounds like a good idea. I may need to look into that. Thank you.

[gregorya]

Based on the anatomy classes, I decided to work on Drawing Heads from any angle. Some traditional sketches, and some digital Inks. Most of these are based off of Pictures I found on YouTube and Pinterest. I still need to pratice a little more.

[gregorya]

Fay valentine Anatomy study. With some very quick coloring.

Since the shang Chi Movie came out, I thought i'd work on some pictures on Shang Chi and Iron Fist. It's still a work on progress.

[gregorya]

Some Gesture drawings from last week.

[gregorya]

I'm working on the gray tones and colors on Iron Fist and Shang Chi. It looks pretty good so far.
