  • 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

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

Hi there and welcome to my page!

I have started my journey here before in the past, but I had to leave for more than two years due to personal reasons. I've forgotten most of everything I have learned from the ART School program over the 2 years, so I thought this would be a great opportunity to start fresh and get to meet with all the other students that are just starting out too! Well then, let's start again!

Introduction

As of writing this, I am a 21 year old male and you can just call me Tanuki. I have been drawing here and there for the past 7 years, but my progress has become stagnate due to not knowing how to take my art further. So I have joined ART School to start anew!

End Goal

My goal by the end of all this is to become a proficient character illustrator. I want to mostly do lineart style art that of which ressembles the more manga style of drawing.

I hope to improve alongside everyone again starting today! Let's give it our all! :muscle:

heyos welcome to the forums (again xD)

I had to leave and serve in my country's military for a while

oh wow :open_mouth: that sounds rough - glad you are back tho

thank you!! and yeah it's great to be back on the forums. Hope to draw lots and lots!

Welcome back, Tanuki! Can't wait to see your progress, and to hopefully help out when I can!

Welcome Back,I took a look at some of your old posts and your work looks great I'm sure you will be able to pick it back up in no time at all this time around

Here are my assignments for the photoshop class in term 1!
I'm using clip studio right now and it seems like some things aren't available and psd files won't open as well for some reason. So These are the only assignments I will be doing for the photoshop class.

Welcome again Tanuki! Bests of luck with round 2! Not sure if you noticed, but in that timeframe Marc released the companion guide, which includes a whole lot of more exercices to do per term. Very helpful to follow to get those art level ups.

Oh wow thank you! I had no clue about that. Will take a look!

Term 1 - Nude Figure Drawing

Assignment 1-3: Draw 10 skeletons over a reference photo
I'll be combining assignments 1-3 into one since it's about the same thing. Some of the references I used had clothes and it was definitely a lot harder to try and do those ahaha... wanted to try it, but learned the hard way.

Assignment 4: Draw 5 skeletons with cyclinders as limbs from imagination
I tried my best to draw some poses from imagination. I have done gesture drawings in the past, but haven't been doing them for a while. I should start doing it again on free time.

Assignment 5: Practice drawing the male and female with the 8-head proportion grid until you can draw it from memory
This one wasn't too challenging to do since I already know the basic proportions. It was a good review though. Caught some things that I forgot about :smiley:
The one below is the sketch I did with the 8-head proportion grid while I was watching the video and followed along.

The sketch below is of the basic proportions drawn from memory.

Assignment 6: Gesture Drawings
I will be skipping this one since I will be doing this everyday on my freetime. I don't think it will be too neccessary to show these on here.

Assignment 7: Practice drawing the full figure from reference
This one was quite interesting to try and do on my own and I'll show you why below. But first, here is the full figure drawing I did while following alongside Marc in the video.

And below is the one that I did by myself after watching the lesson. I thought it was going fairly well, but when I tried overlapping my sketch with the reference, it was off by a mile! I learned that I tend to try and draw everything a bit tilted to the right which is something that I should probably look into and fix.

I still quite liked how the sketch came out, so I decided to clean it up a bit and add the face!

That wraps it up for the nude figure drawing assignments from term 1! Thanks for checking my topic and any and all feedback is appreciated!

Yo! you're going hard at it! It's all good work there. It seems you already have an eye for self analysis, since you did the overlap and quickly saw the mistakes. If you haven't remember that flipping horizontally frrequently is also a neat brain hack to allow you to easily notice miss proportions and unbalance.

I was also going to mention line confidence in some of this, but the last one shows you can make cleaner and more confident lineart, so I think it's just because most of the exercices where just sketchwork.

It also seems resolution is a bit low, though barely noticeable. For these exercices it's perfectly fine, especially if it's a consious choice, otherwise it might help to understand the different resolutions available, DPI and how it impacts the overall smoothness.

Keep it up man, you're doing great there.
