  • 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

Yo, I'm a junior in high school and someday later I want to be in the illustration industry at a professional level : ^). I used to have a sketchbook on the concept art forums where I posted a lot, but it got shut down during a few months ago. I started drawing more seriously about a year and a half ago. Trying to learn as much as I can right now before I apply for college, so anything is wanted : ).

Sorry for the wall of text and pictures : ^). I think it's important to see my progress.

January 2019 - someone from the conceptart forums led me into the right direction < 3, they had me start to focus on the forms of shapes and such and got me started into perspective with a perspective book

April 2019 - Did another self portrait from the mirror and it took less time and was a lot better : ). Also did a quick Mulan fanart thing for a school club. Definitely think this was a turning point for my art progress

April-June 2019 - started to bring my sketchbook wherever I went and sketch the people around me mainly at school, it really brought my observation skills and speed skills up because I made myself draw people accurately while their moving. Also, started applying some stuff I learned from the perspective book.

June 2019 - birthday present photostudy for a friend's bday gift

July 2019 - tried to apply more of the perspective book's content in general and a fanart of Tanjiro from Demon Slayer

August 2019 - started getting into digital art seriously with Krita :^ ) kept on using the airbrush tool which was not good. Also started to get into environments and such

September 2019 - Started to get into acrylic painting and more painting in general

My dnd character @-@, it had a lot of planning on paper with it, but I ended up disappointing and kinda gave up

October 2019 - The art teacher assigned all of inktober for october, which made me very upset : ^), but here are some of the ones I liked best. The self goal for this was to draw all from imagination, with only some inspiration pictures only.

Gonna post more recent things tomorrow and start posting what I do everything on here, so enjoy heh heh.

Hello @zaq14811! Welcome to Cubebrush. It's nice to see you experiment with different things. I look forward to see your progress :+1:

Dec '19

@cedricgo thanks for the welcome < 3, hope to stay here for a long while

A photo study that's more recent

Another photostudy that was recent, trying to get better at doing edges and stuff

I had to start an art class assignment due right after Thanksgiving break :confused:, so I decided to put some effort in it this time. I made a back story on my head but in short it's a teenage boy leaving his clock tower home and it was inspired by this song : ).

process photos and planning:


Dec '19

Finished what I was working on today, but now to write my artist statement for the art assignment : ^). Might put it up for critique on the forums sometime later.

For my goal for this month, I want to get better at painting in general since I'm still very new to it. Mainly maintaining edges and developing a good sense of colors, so when I do photo studies I'll try not to just make the colors similar to the photo.

Did a photo study today, might go back into it tomorrow since it's very unfinished. I want to get a combination of hard and soft edges, but when I blend it doesn't look good : ^) and then it ends up in mostly hard edges only. Took a lot longer than it needed to be also because I chose very bad base colors lol.

Sketches of some classmates, they were moving quite a bit

Dec '19

Was really tired today, worked on the study just for a bit, but gonna call that done now and took notes on painting and rendering. Good to have days like this cause it allows me to rethink my focus and learn a bit more.

Also gonna redraw the clocktower boy in a different angle. I showed it to my art teacher and she wants it to be submitted to the Schoolastic art contest stuff and I wanna try to test my 3 point perspective and convey the story ideas better < 3.

No one's probably gonna bother reading the notes lol, but it's just here for documentation I guess.

That's pretty cool! I wish you the best of luck if you decide to submit it :smile:

Dec '19

@cedricgo Ty gonna work even harder on the next one : ), but to be honest I'm probably not gonna make it that far up with it cause the traditional illustration category is so competitive and the top judges for the schoolsatic like seeing ultra refined photo realism :<

Worked on coming up with new ideas/angles for the redraw and it made m very frustrated for over an hour because I have little experience doing 3 point persp, drawing whole rooms or buildings from life, and zero experience designing rooms or buildings. But when I was pacing and thinking, I came up with doing it in 1 point directly behind the character. It would have everything I pretty much wanted in the final. I would liked to do it in 3 point, but I really think it's out of my league right now. I think redrawing this again, probably in a few years, when I learn how to design buildings better would be nice.

Gonna try to do the final thumb tomorrow and focus on rendering feet.

IMG_4246.JPG4032x3024 2.15 MB

My line confidence is really bad on digital lol and I found out I'm not that good at sketching feet from reference. Spent most of my energy on the planning stuff for the redraw so I got distracted a lot when doing this.

Sketches of classmates for today

Dec '19

I had a lot of homework due tomorrow, but I had some time working on the redraw and gathering a lot of references/inspiration for the things in the drawing. I want to make this the most detailed piece I've ever made and give it my all the next few days. I hope I stay on my plan and at least finish the sketch tomorrow because the contest submissions for my teacher is due on Tuesday. It already has a lot of complicated elements in the thumbnail. It also doesn't help that I have to take the SAT early on Saturday so I guess I'll take it kinda sleep deprived : ^).
