  • 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

Hey, Perspective assignments are on point, lines are clean and the perspective looks correct awesome job Keep it up.

Hello everyone. I am quite busy drawing/painting these days, so I need to find some time to post. I assume this is a good problem to have :sweat_smile:

Anyway, one of my friends lent me his screen tablet Huion Kamvas 16. As I said, I am really not comfortable figure drawing with my Intuos (because no screen and shitty eye/coordination), so I was really eager to try the screen tablet. As expected, things are much smoother. However, this made me realize that using a pen tablet is much closer to painting than drawing. I like SOME of my figure drawings with pen and paper, but never managed to get a satsfying result with a pen tablet. I realized this is beacause I try to draw the way I would with a pen. After a lot of die and retry, I now understand that I need to set up my brush if I want to do that.

What are YOUR settings when you do figure drawing ? Here is what I got with a 5 pixels brush and sensitivity ON for everything. I might remove opacity sensitivity in the near future.

First two are 30 second poses. I find 2 of them are pretty sharp (will we agree on that ? :laughing: ). It makes me realize that sharp angles for clear defined shapes really give a nice feel.

3 and 4 of 1mn gesture. They are more accurate and complete, but lack the expressiveness of the sharp 30s ones.

Last two are 5 minutes. I added the reference for "beautiful slender model" as it made me realize that when polishing, the devil is in the details. I placed everything by eye and did not check features all together. In the end, everything is too far apart, or too short, or too something. I guess this is why I find men much easier to draw, so many muscles and landmarks to place that you can't have HUGE fails.

Tell me what you think. Any constructive criticism is welcome.

No post in a while, but I have been quite busy with the classes and assignments. I am currently doing the 30 days challenge Marc posted on YouTube. Do you have any advice on how to set Photoshop when drawing free hand ? I tend to get much better results when drawing in my sketchbooks and feel like I'm doing something wrong. I fiddle with all the settings I could find, and I am still miles away from what I want. I tried to mimic Marc and use his legendary lineart brush :sweat_smile: but as you can see my lines are pixelated. Something feels wrong. Any advice is welcome.

I love day 15 and day 10 :}
They look especially clean and nice 😄

Some more figure drawing I am pretty happy with. I have been doing the Fresh Eyes Challenge from Love Life Drawing channel on YouTube. It really helped me "see better". I realize I should stop trying to be as realistic as possible with quick figure drawings and try to add more stylistic spin.

Here are some 10 mn poses I am pretty happy with. I will try to upload more stuff to document my progress.

I love the leaves in the foreground. Because they are so bright, they may draw too much attention away from the center of the picture. In the Feedback stream, Marc would probably recommend making them darker or blurr them with a filter.

I always do the ribcage first now. It is much easier to make the head right when it is there xD

One point perspective exercise. I tried adding more details to make it more interesting, but ran out of idea at some point :sweat_smile:

The actual drawing looks better. Any advice on how to take pictures of large drawings?

Some figure drawings I am fairly happy with. I think landmarks are accurate and linework is good considering I spent about 15 minutes on each piece. Seeing it on a screen makes me realize I should maybe work more on contraste and final details (who said hands??)

I tried many times doing this kind of exercicises on my tablet (Kamvas 16), but I struggle A LOT with the linework. I keep wondering if there is some kind of offset between the pen and the tablet. I can't reproduce the line I make with a pencil, it is quite frustrating. Any advice on that would be more than welcome.
