  • 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

Once I had the eyes more so under my belt, my next hurdle was the feeling of the person. I went to the vibes of the person, I found out that for me I needed to feel the vibe the person gives off and AT A GLANCE tell myself what was unique about the person's face.

tho doing this and messing up at first I told myself "well you messed it up once so the second time you draw it can't be as bad as the first and if it is then you may wanna take a break" lol this made me feel like I could mess up and it's okay not to be perfect.

I also found out that the less I look at someone the better for me lol it forces me to work on only the important parts. so doing that I was able to start filling out the rest of the page.

I turned them anthro for practice incorporating animal ears into hair on the head.
I tried to also practice using the persons features for a character with a different gender, like seen on the bottom.

with all that practice, I felt more comfortable doing my next portrait study.
Here's the notes page where I did it and also studied other things.
lol the notes at the bottom were things I wrote down and then fixed but kept there to allow myself to know that i'm not perfect and didn't draw my little doodle at the bottom like that first try.

and then here's just the study itself.

and with that, I'll probably leave that here for now and then update the rest tomorrow or somethin lol.

20 days later

"I'll probably leave that here for now and then update the rest tomorrow or somethin lol." -20 days ago.

IMMA POST THINGS THAT I FORGOT TO POST BEFORE THE FACE STUFF, I WAS EXCITED TO TELL SOMEONE ABOUT IT XD


HERE'S THE PERSPECTIVE DRAWING/ASSIGNMENT THAT MADE ME SO FREAKING ANGRY THAT I TOOK A BREAK FROM IT FOR 2 MONTHS. In the end I just finished it to say I finished it.

also here is some of my practices from the anatomy class to give some reference of how many times I've had to hammer it into my brain. There's like 2 more pages of theses

12d

any who after all that, I started on understanding mouths. I drew these and realized that I wasn't really learning how the mouths worked and moved but instead just drawing what I was seeing through the refs I was looking at.
So what Do I do in that case you may ask? lol I walk away from my pc and to my sketch book where I can deconstruct or construct it from just glances at peoples lips instead of full on looking.

9d

On the side I was also throwing in some color studies

Then here is some style studies I did

learnt alot from this! I use the back button way less and now I just pressure erase things, I also use Marc's hard round brush to do like everything while sketching. I found that this forced me to stop putting so much detail into sketches and to stop working so close.

9d

After I did this, I got extremely ill with RSV and had to take a break for 2 weeks. I decided to do two head studies when I got back, just focusing on the values and then also trying to get more experience with drawing men. lol they are very rough but I did my best.

9d

here's what I consider the final assignment tho, something I was dreading to do when I first saw it, The self portrait. When I first did this, I wanted to get it over with as soon as possible and became very self conscious. I didn't feel like it actually looked or felt like me. LOL I soon became EXTREMELY SELF CONSIOUS when I showed my mom it and she said that it looked nothing like me. Anyway here that is:

So going into this the second time, I stopped allowing myself to be self conscious, I was able to start thinking of my features like it's a character description. Sort of asking "what makes me unique?"
Insult's that were thrown at me before became fodder in making myself a more fun character to draw. All my practice from the weeks before started to come into fruition. Glancing at people's faces and getting a feel of their vibes was becoming something that I like to do in general.

I drew 2 of the drawings from me just propping up my phone camera and glancing over at myself(coincidentally the one's where I'm wearing my glasses) and 3 were some pictures that I just had. The birdlike one is continuing on my trend of giving people anthro like features, The expression came from my brain.
I literally had so much fun working on this.

AND WITH THAT I END TERM 2!!
