  • 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,

I'm Yato, a French 21 years old guy.

I kinda started my art journey a year ago, it lasted few months before I burned out, I wasn't seeing any progress and I gave up, I was stuck on term 1, doing the same things every day, it was hell.

Today is the day I took my pen and try again, during one year I was like ''Yeah, the next day, maybe'', it was a fight and it is still a fight against me and myself.

To be honest I'm doing this topic for me, to post what I think is good and maybe get feedbacks if you guys want, I made a promise to myself, I have to build my future and I can't give up anymore... I love art, I have to.

I want to express my feeling through art, I want to draw emotions, and make my art live through them , i want to express myself

Thanks for reading, I hope you guys have a good day

See you soon, maybe

  • Yato

Welcome to the forums Yato, that's a good start right there, the proportions looks on point, and gesture is haaard, try to look for some videos on the subject, there plenty on the good old youtube, looking foward to see your progress.

Thank you mate, the thing is there is a lot of gesture video and a lot of methods to do it, which kinda lost me but I'll try to gather all of thoses informations

Thanks for the compliment :D*

Welcome to the forums! Love to see that discord change from lol to photoshop! Keep it up!

Wow you remember me ?
Sadly league was the only thing I can success in life, now I have to take my life in my hands.

Thanks a lot lockenheim, I won't forget what you did for me

-- 30 days challenge. --

                                           Day 1

I think I needed something to get me started and I saw this one Marc's video about 30 days challenge
I made it fun, my circles and ellipses are by far not perfect but, with time, maybe.

Hellow !

Day 2 of days 30 challenge

I was kinda busy today doing drawabox (I dont know if I have the right to write it D:), I needed to get some good bedrocks base along with marc's school.

The top left ones are not that good so I tried a new approach on others, circles are not perfect but I tried to make them better.

I'm kinda happy with it tho I need to practice more of them !

Hello friend !

It's the next thing I have to do on drawabox, i'm just taking my time and doing one or two exercices a day,

But thank you tho, I really have to get better at thoses

Merci :D*

Hello again !

Here is my day 3 challenge :D*

Cylinders and elispses are still not on point, but I found myself drawing better circles during this exercise, I would have loved to draw a bit more, but i'm exhausted as I'm drawing after work, I wanted to keep up with the 30 days challenge.

Today I also continued my drawabox journey and drew (for the first time) for fun, no stress, nothing, It was hard, I think I wasted 1 hours overthinking before getting tired of myself and put my pencil on my tablet

It went bad, I liked it 100/100 would do it again

As you can see they are not on point but, I can feel a bit of progress, was a fun.

I have one question though, people who draw outsides, what do you draw? I would like to draw at work (During breaks) but I don't really know if it's worth it? is a pencil and a sketchbook enough? Maybe I can use ref with my phone?

What do you guys think?

Have a good day anyway !

  • Yatto

haha that's an interesting question!
I remember an interview of the late Kim Jung Gi and how inspiring his story of lugging a sketch-diary daily and after experiencing or seeing different things, he would try to draw those things after a while (from memory)

Anyhow, me personally I take my ipad with me and draw/paint anything there on procreate when I'm on the move. One day it could be for some gestures when in a break another it could be a painted study of a skull (I did one entirely on procreate and it was pretty fun!). Other times, I just like drawing doodles on paper with pencil or pen, it's very liberating. Another great thing to draw a lot, and can be easy to do in break times is drawing cylinders, cubes, and weird things in perspective. Finally, copying stuff from life is always a great learning opportunity

cheers!

i remember to always have a pencil and a really cheap sketchbook and just drawn loads, and i meant LOADS of circles and split then with ellipces, some faces structures too, with time i just stopped for some reason, thanks for reminded me about this, even if it wasen't your intention tho XD

Damn dude XD

This is what i'm gonna do from now on, when I'll have a moment, I'll draw, even outside, I really like that !

So... today I was gonna post my day 4, but I went back from work and I'm really tired, I struggled a bit on it

Went from this :

To

It really is bad, probably too much preasures on some lines, circle is not enough a circle.

but.

A guy on discord (Hello Teeth Collector, you really helped me) helped me on drawing circles, said that I should ghost a bit (like in drawabox) to get at least decent circles) guess what ?

They are no perfect, probably could be better, I don't get it every time but I'm getting there, i'm really happy, it made my day ! (along with some drawabox study)

So yeah, will continue to train day 4 tommorow

It was a good day :D*

That's a good circle right there, and i do know my circles :sunglasses: "explosions in the background"
