- 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?in24.6k
- 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 youin1.5k

Nude Figure Drawing Daily Practice 4
I think this is my most productive day for practicing: gesture drawing, full figure drawing,... Although I also did some gesture drawings today (actually a lot of them), I mostly do it by pencil-paper so I think it is wise to keep update post short and to not spam photos of gesture drawings here. So I'm only posting full figure drawing and skeleton with cylinders to keep it organize.
Cylinders, Skeletons, Action line, Joints:
Full Figure Drawing:
I actually like this pose a lot so I decided to also give it a try for full figure drawing.
Keep at it! I can see you are getting the concept.
You can compress the gestures into a single jpeg to post them up and let people see your progress. And keep in mind that you can post these on the Saturday live streams for Marc to point things out to help you, he really likes to help out with the early classes and make sure people are on the right track.
Lookin good.
Hello!
This is a good start! Im glad that you got back to artschool
Your mesurments on full figure drawing look good!
The only thing that i'd like to point out is when you draw those cylinders try to represent the actual Volume of the form by lightly drawing the entire elipse inside of the cylinder and then tracing the part of it that is facing us :>
I did an example on the right.
by drawing elipses inside of the cylinder you will figure out easier the direction of the limb in perspective.
And dont forget that the action line it represents the entire flow of the gesture, it is not always the spine itself.
hope it helps
and keep it up! dont stop

Perspective 1 Assignment
I finally got the time to do the assignment again. Sorry for being absent recently. Here is my room which was drew in 1 - point perspective. I haven't finish it yet but it has been a long time since my last post here so I will definitely post today to keep my term 1 up to date. I will finish my room later with a little twist to it.
My room doesn't have anything interesting for me to draw. So I decided to completely transform my room into a wizard/witch theme room. The one on the left is actually where I sit everyday and do the creative stufss . So I guess I finished 1 point perspective draw your room assignment. The only thing I still concern is the perspective of the telescope on the right one. If I try to draw it using perspective, I will have a weird result with a telescope doesn't look like a telescope. Any suggestion?
The telescope wont be drawn in 1 point perspective because it simply does not fit the requirements (vertical and horizontal lines at 90deg), it will be rotated into its own perspective grid. I would recommend just leaving that out for now until you are doing the later perspective classes, and then add it back in.
The round objects that you have chosen to include on the floor and the cauldron are not drawn properly in perspective for the vp that you have. Perfect circles drawn in 1 point perspective on any plane besides the rear wall x-y plane are surprisingly complicated things to deal with. You have to establish and keep consistent what is a perfect square at all z depths of your image and then place the circles within one of those squares. It really complicates things.
Maybe just leave those out for now, or you can head down the rabbit hole of madness (I recommend it, its fun down here.... we have tea...) and start watching more videos about it. Here is a pretty good one https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nwBVKdd6efs
And I know that Marc goes into it in one of the classes, and on some of the streams, you can look there as well.
And the last thing is that the deer head that you have mounted would still have depth, so you would have to draw all of that out, again a very complicated thing to do. Go for it if you want, but you can also wait until I want to say term 5 when animals come into play.
If you want much more detailed help with this, and of course the paint-over, I would recommend you put the image in the Saturday Facebook stream and Marc will point out issues and solutions in real time, super helpful.
I really did like the initial room that you were using from real life. It might be simple but it really is a great study for 1 point perspective.
Sorry about the long post, keep at it!
Okay I just had a glance at your video. And damn I have never thought it is that complicated to draw just one circle in 1 point perspective.
Also, can someone clear this our for me? I'm confused. How can I really apply the perspective knowledge to a painting? I mean I already knew that some landscape/enviroment artists who already mastered the perspective so well that they can draw a scene without any guidelines or v-point. But besides drawing enviroment/landscape/building scene, how does perspective affect other subjects? Do I really need to carefully draw every guidelines from the v-point to draw the things I want to draw/scuplt in perspective (because I feel like drawing guidelines alone is already a ridiculously long process)? And if it is that complicated, how exactly long does it take to finish a painting that has so many organic shapes in it?
There is a Facebook group that you get access to first for the streams, the information for that is in the same place that you download the classes from in a file there. Once you are approved, every Saturday Marc posts a thread in the group very early Saturday morning or Friday night. Everyone makes a response to the post and attaches the images that they want help on. Then later on Saturday he does the stream. He records it and you can watch the recording whenever on Facebook, and eventually he posts them on YouTube.
As far as the aspect and perspective stuff goes when drawing landscapes, yes its just a lot of work. The folks who have mastered it are generally just so good at seeing it that they do it in their head, but if they are doing something weird and complicated they draw out as many guidelines as needed.
And isn't is crazy how much you need to do the ellipses? It actually gets way worse when you are trying to flip things accurately in other directions and do things like objects on hinges at weird angles. Once you learn it you can of course use 3d software to just cheat and get it done fast. I hear over and over how that is what most professionals do now just to not waste time on massive amounts of drawing.
