  • 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 have started my art school journey last month. Art is a hobby of mine. I was drawing for fun for some years now but I want to improve on my hobby. I am also doing some 3D modeling for fun but I love 2D art just as much.

And this is some figure drawing exercise

And also the exercise for 1 point perspective

I want to improve so please give me any feedback you like :blush:

The perspective here looks great! Next steps would be varying the lineweights across the image. As a rule of thumb, objects closer to the viewer should be thicker and any line that overlaps another should be thicker where they overlap

Hello Everone! Thanks for all the replies! I tried the exercise where I measured with my pen for the first time today and this is the result.

I hope the slight nudity is ok in the forums. If it not I will edit it with a censored version.
It didn't turn out as good as I hoped but I think the proportions are ok.
I was hoping to move to term 2 but I think I still need a bit more practice.

I tried the measuring exercise again!
This exercise is really hard but I think it turned out a bit better this time.
I also tried doing some shading as well.
Also this is some gesture drawing from today.


I can now give some form to the gestures for the 30 sec one instead of just stick figures. But when I do this the proportions are wrong sometimes. Do you think I should give less attention to the form and more to the proportions?

Nice work Pretzel! Moving to the measuring exercise is a really big increase in difficulty but keep it up! You are doing well. Your cylinders are really solid on the tracing exercise which should help. In terms of the gesture I would recommend focusing on different things for different times. My personal strategy for gesture is my number one focus for all time limits is smooth confident lines over all else. for 30 seconds my focus is on the energy of the pose only. For one minute I focus energy and proportions and for two minutes I focus energy proportions and volumes. I find it difficult to get volumes in on anything less than 2 mins personally. I'm no pro but that's what has worked for me. Keep up the good work! The proportions will improve the more you do the gestures and the proportion exercise so keep it up!

10 days later

Hello everyone sorry for being late with my post but here is this weeks exercises.
First the mesuring exersice. I am really happy with this one I think it looks way better than the previous one. I was having a hard time with the head but I looked a bit at the lesson on term 2 and this is the result. The rotation of the head is a bit wrong but I couldn't replicate it.

Next I moved on to term 2 and I did the 3 point perspective exercise.

This one was really hard. I worked on it for 5 days and I had to start over many times.
While the exercise asked for an imposing wall or a bridge I did a temple. It was really hard for me to make a wall without doing something very similar to what Marc did and I didn't want to make a worse copy of it. So I tried a different angle and my wall turned into a temple the more I drew.
This exercise was hard because I experimented a lot with what the result will be depending where I put the vanishing points in my canvas.
Also I had to choose which lines will follow the vanishing points and which of them will not. For example the Torri gates at the stairs are following two of the three vanishing points so Its like they are in 2-point perspective while the rest of the picture is in 3-point perspective. I hope that this decision was correct because for me it look good.
Also I didn't put any details on the roof because I couldn't make it look right and after so many days of work I wanted to finish this piece.

Nice work on the measuring exercise! Big improvements from the last one! Nice work on the perspective exercise as well.
