William- Art School Journey

Head copy #1 is done, once I got the guideline for the head down properly it went pretty smoothly.

I have been working on the other heads from imagination but it has been slow going. My back and shoulders have both been bugging me something fierce lately.

I
I got number 4 done today, will start working on #5. The next week might blend assignments a bit because I will be gone for a bit and it will bleed into the week after. I think prioritizing heads over anatomy assignments may have been a good call because I am trying to focus on characters. I can come back and do the perspective once I get a better handle on characters.

5 is finally done, and with that I will now start work on the 10 head copies. It will probably be bled from this week to next week. Then I might go quiet for a while because of going to Uni.

Well I head off to Uni tomorrow, and before then I wanted to try and get something "finished" for myself. So all of yesterday and today I worked on this head of a character I thought of, using Marc's video on cell shading to get the colouring and shading done (both of which I need to work on).

haha thanks man I'll try

I am back. I know I have been quiet for a while, it has been because I've been getting adjusted to uni, and I have had a lot more on my mind than usual. The 10 heads copy assignment has been more of a chore than I expected, so I decided to do a planes of the head/shading practice. I quite like how it came out. The 3d model was what I based mine off of. Looking back now I think I should have made the shadows on the left darker.

Hey there, came out very well, nose looks better than the reference model

Hey I'm back, I finally made it to reading week and had a chance to work on something more concrete rather than a bunch of disconnected and infrequent studies (I hate calculus). This was originally just supposed to be one of 5 hair studies but I wanted to try a bit of shading for practice and this was the result.

mitsuki-youko 2023-11-18 06:13:00 UTC #104

welcome back! dis b lookin good!

I hate calculus too, even tho i don't remember if i ever took it XD

williamclemens8 2023-11-24 06:07:31 UTC #105

that's the hate calc instills

williamclemens8 2024-01-03 18:19:48 UTC #106

Hey I'm back, it's been a while. First sem is over, and I had some time to myself during the Christmas holidays to work on more hair studies. I got the third one done (pictured here), I'll try my hand at shading it but Idk how succesful I will be lol.

williamclemens8 2024-01-08 03:57:46 UTC #107

Alright I've finished off hair study number 3. I tried a little bit of two tone shading to try and ease into learning that and I can already tell I am gonna have some trouble with this lol.

williamclemens8 2024-02-01 04:17:51 UTC #108

Hey it's been a while but I have finished the fourth head copy. I am actually pretty happy with this one, I got a ton of help with it from a couple of chads in the discord server who helped me with the shapes of some of the facial features.

williamclemens8 2024-02-23 19:02:03 UTC #109

I got the 5th head/hair study done, which closes this study. So far I really think I should put some more work into studying the individual facial features when I get the chance, as getting the eyes for this one was a real pain. But now that I'm done, I do think the 4th one went the best, mostly because I got a lot of help with it, and I look forward to what comes next.

williamclemens8 2024-06-02 23:38:00 UTC #110

Ok I know it has been a hot minute. I have been busy job hunting and finishing up first year at Uni. Idk if it was art block or not, but even when I was free of that psych ward I found myself procrastinating when it came to art. But I was able to get the fantasy creature portrait done, and I have been keeping up with my dailies so far. I will be spending more time working on facial anatomy in term 2 before moving on.

williamclemens8 2024-06-03 17:02:37 UTC #111

I am going to start posting progress on the discord as well, so I am just going to put the link here so I can find it easier later on.

I've been quiet for a little bit because of a shoulder strain (again), but I had been practicing facial anatomy and some personal art using the tomato method Marc went over in his newer video. Honestly, the newer unfinished face compared to the older Knight character I did looks a bit better I think?

williamclemens8 2024-11-18 05:40:23 UTC #113

Ok it has been a damn while, due to school, mild technical difficulties, and a couple of other things my progress has been absolutely glacial, but tonight I was able to finish this bit of practice I have been working on for a while.
