  • 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

Hello everyone! I'm thrilled to be here and wanted to say hi as I embark on my journey into the world of art. Today marks my very first day at art school, and I couldn't be more excited. I want to share that I have absolutely no prior experience in the world of art, but that has never deterred my passion and determination. While I've never ventured into the realm of art before, I've been a dedicated follower of Marc Brunet's YouTube art school for quite some time, and his teachings have inspired me greatly. Now, being part of an official art school is a dream come true. Art has always held a special place in my heart, and some of my favorite artists include Marc Brunet, Sakimi Chan, Logan Cure, Noobovich, and Fortis Wang, among others. I aspire to create my own unique style and produce art like the ones I admire. I was born and raised in the vibrant city of Chicago and still living here, my ultimate aspiration here is to cultivate my skills and ultimately emerge as a proficient concept artist and illustrator. I've explored various online art schools like CG Spectrum and CG Art Masters, but affordability was a challenge until I stumbled upon this opportunity. It feels like my prayers have been answered, and I'm ecstatic to begin this artistic journey. I still can't believe I've taken the leap, but I'm ready to embrace this new chapter with open arms.

Yo welcome aboard mate! Bests of luck in this journey!

🖊️📚🎨 My Journey to Pen Control: Overcoming Challenges and Seeking Advice 🎨📚🖊️

Hey there, fellow classmates and art enthusiasts! I wanted to share with you all the exciting yet challenging experience I've had recently as I embarked on my journey into the world of digital art. 🤩

I recently completed my first assignment, and let me tell you, it wasn't a walk in the park. The topic? Pen control! 🖋️ As someone who has never drawn on a display tablet before, this assignment proved to be quite a test of patience and skill. 😅

One of the hardest things I've encountered so far is the struggle to control the pen. I found it incredibly frustrating because it felt like my hand had a mind of its own, and my lines often went astray. 😓 It's like trying to tame a wild horse, and I felt a bit discouraged.

Now, I'm at a crossroads, and I need your advice, my fellow classmates. Should I continue to focus on improving my pen control before moving on to more complex tasks like figure drawing? 🤔 After all, how am I supposed to create beautiful figures if I can't even control the pen properly yet? 😩

I believe that challenges are an integral part of the learning process, and they push us to improve and innovate. Without obstacles, there's no room for growth and development. 🌱 So, I'm determined to stay in this learning phase for a while longer. 😌

But I'd love to hear from you all. Do you think I should continue working on pen control until I feel confident in my abilities? Or do you have any tips, tricks, or experiences to share that might help me along the way? 🤗

Remember, we're all on this creative journey together, and your insights could make a world of difference in my progress. Let's support each other and grow as artists! 🎨💪💖

Thank you for being a part of my artistic adventure, and here's to embracing challenges and striving for improvement!

I'd say practice both, along with personal projects. Pen control is crucial if you want to get confident in your linework, but in and of itself it's kinda boring for most people (me included), which might lead to burnout and/or boreout before you could even get into the more exciting stuff. I once heard a piece of advice from Brookes Eggleston, a pro artist: he said that if you're serious about art, 70% of your work should be practice - but the other 30% should be for fun so you can keep things fresh.

Oh, and welcome aboard! :sweat_smile:

I'd say continue practicing what you feel you lack (pen control in this case), but don't let that stop you from continuing or doing what you want to do.

Part of progressing is being able to stop, look back and appreciate the progress you've made so far, so if you do a drawing today, it will probably won't be as good as you want it to be, but that's fine, now you have a benchmark. Look at what can be improved, and do the next one better.

The next one will probably also NOT be as good as you want it to be, but as long as it's better than the previous one, you're on the right track.

Repeat this process a few times, and as long as there is continuous improvement, you will eventually get to a point where you get closer to those visions in your mind.

I support what they said lol But i do recommend to follow along the weekly companion guide if you have the time/pacience to do so. I myself am following along and so far it has been truly great. But if it's not your thing, it's understandeble. Oh and i do feel the strugle to get a hang of the pen control, but you get it in no time.

Embracing Art: A Journey from Work to School to Digital Artist

Life's whirlwind often leaves our passions behind, buried beneath layers of responsibilities. But amidst the chaos, I've decided to reclaim mine: art.

For too long, my creative spark lay dormant, overshadowed by the demands of work and school. Yet, the desire for expression never faded. So, I've taken the plunge into the world of digital art, ready to rekindle my passion.

Balancing work, school, and art classes presents its challenges, but I'm embracing the journey. With each step, I'm learning and growing, eager to explore the vast landscape of visual communication.

Recently, I watched a captivating video on visual communication fundamentals, and it's already shaping my perspective. From the importance of composition to the power of color theory, I've gained invaluable insights that will undoubtedly enrich my artistic journey.

Stay tuned for updates as I navigate this exciting path. I can't wait to share the lessons learned and the discoveries made along the way. This is just the beginning of my adventure, and I'm thrilled to have you join me.

Visual Communication 1:

Day 1: Visual Communication 1

Understanding Visual Communication

Visual communication is the transmission of information and ideas using symbols and imagery such as signs, typography, photos, graphic design, and more. It's about effectively conveying a message for maximum understanding.

Forms of Communication:

  1. Verbal Communication: Using words and sounds to convey messages.
  2. Nonverbal Communication: Communicating without words, including through emotions, facial expressions, and posture.
  3. Visual Communication: Transmitting information through symbols and imagery like graphic design, advertisements, and videos.

Types of Visual Images:

  1. Mental Images: Imagery within the mind, such as dreams and memories.
  2. Media Intervention: Direct observation of objects or scenes.
  3. Mediated Images: Perception influenced by the tools used to view something, like screens or glasses.

The Process of Seeing:
(sensing + selecting + perceiving = Seeing )

  • Sensing:
    Allowing light into the eyes to perceive objects.
  • Selecting:
    Focusing on specific parts or events for attention.
  • Perceiving:
    Making sense of the selected information for better understanding.

Understanding Light:

  • What is Light: Natural agent stimulating sight and making things visible.
  • Luminescence: Emission of light not caused by heat, including through chemical reactions and electrical energy.

(Visual communication is crucial for effectively conveying messages, whether through design, advertising, or other mediums. Understanding how we perceive visual information and the role of light enhances our ability to communicate visually.)
