Truly I have learned the joys of digital, and dear god I hope the next one won't take half as long. [edit] Pushing the boat out with speech bubbles. https://imgur.com/a/9N2fc51 Doctor_Fruitbat fucked around with this message at 23:12 on Nov 16, 2018 |

lofi posted:I think the change of styles is hurting you - the contrast between pixel-graphics and vector-style lines hurts both. You might have some joy with artificially pixellating your larger figures? I don't know. I think I like it better than the pixel art profile test I did today:

Fair enough. I prefer the pixellated, looks more cohesive to me, but it's your baby.

First ever watercolour. Not displeased.

That's really cute! I love watercolour for just quickly adding some punch to a drawing.

Didn't manage to finish this one last night, so I spent the early morning with it. Was really happy with the initial sketch I did. It's been a long time since I actually felt good about a drawing like that.

I need to get on drawing daily. Right now it's been more like weekly. I followed the advice from here and started doing some figure drawing from Croquis Cafe on YouTube, but I did manage to also find a bi-weekly live session in my city that's open to the public more or less. I'll be going for the first time this coming Saturday after Thanksgiving, so kinda stoked. Otherwise, I am kind of curious what other people's methods (tactics?) are. I had done two before and I guess on my own I kinda of try to draw the outline of the figure, using some skeletal elements for arms and such. I watched a quick tutorial that talked about using sort of a stick figure frame and decided to try that. Usually when I draw something I do use a skeletal foundation to build up, but I hadn't been doing that for the figure sketching because the poses in the videos are 1 minute, 2 minute, and 5 minute, which is quite quick-paced for me. I feel like doing an outline and trying to draw the figure works better for 1 or 2 minutes, but I feel the skeletal figure helps to actually define the pose more. Here's what I did today just to compare: Trying to draw the form: Drawing the "frame": I know these are really basic compared to what other people draw here (I feel like I'm posting stick figures), but I'm not really used to trying to draw with such short time.

Stick figures are good! It's the fastest way to capture the feel of a pose, then you can add the detail stuff at leisure. I generally start with marking in crude masses, head->ribcage->hips, just a sphere or cube for each. If you can get them in the right positions relative to each other, the rest of the image is much easier. Then a line or two for the arms, ditto legs. Proko covers gesture really well, I'd really recommend giving the vid a watch. His stuff in general is really well done.

Got a new thing to draw on! It's shiny! I have no idea what I'm doing with it! Scribbled four random shapes and then tried to turn those shapes into heads.. Admire skinny triangle head, poorly formed rectangle with the judgemental face, the round thing, and fat triangle head.

That is definitely how we should name children from now on.

CovfefeCatCafe posted:Otherwise, I am kind of curious what other people's methods (tactics?) are. My approach is probably very much geared towards the way I draw now, but perhaps it's still of some use. I start with a line for the shoulders and then form it into a box for the ribcage body. This can be twisted for turns and stuff, so it's pretty flexible. I then complete the upper body with another box for the pelvis. Then I add legs and feet. I use very few, long strokes for everything so that the figure remains clear and fluid. Next are the arms and hands, similar to the legs and feet. Note that a lot of the parts of the figure form out of S and C curves. Focusing on curves like that leads to pleasing shapes. And finally I add the head and neck. I feel like doing the head last works better for me since I get a better idea for the overall body shape through the ribcage and appendages. Of course extra stuff like clothes is just layered on top after that. Again, not sure if this is going to be good for your skill level and your goals with art, but hopefully it at least stilled some of your curiosity. It's probably not too great to learn about volume since it leaves a lot left to you to imagine in that department, so it's probably a better idea to use more detailed skeletons first. I also have some draw streams archived, in case you're interested in a live thing.

I've been busy working on commissions (can you believe it, none for half a year, then two in the same week) and christmas stuff and keychains and arrrrgh so I relaxed a bit by sketching a sexy elf vampire.

work in progress im having trouble figuring out scaling architectural elements to each other and to the figures in my drawings, does anyone have any advice on that front? using perspective lines is helpful but i seem to be having an overall difficult time making sure the elements are of a uniform scale

I'm trying to draw something, no matter what, every other day at least. But working retail this time of year makes that rough. Quick copy of some random bat I found online. I need to remember to let my brush pen's lines dry a lot longer than I think I do.

I should also note that I usually do the gesture and blocking stages a fair bit lighter; I darkened them here just for purposes of clarity. Vermain fucked around with this message at 17:16 on Nov 21, 2018 |

Odo could've been a beautiful technicolour rainbow at any time, but he went with beige everything. Because there's nothing like having the most versatile alien for wild fantastical displays and then using him to be a blob sometimes and also the biggest square in the universe. You can see from my furious diss that I do, in fact, love Odo. Also elves.

Doing a 'line & wash' class, it's kinda cool making me work in very different styles than those I'm used to. The last one was terrible up till I just went 'gently caress it, it can't get worse, pour on more primary colours', and it somehow came out ok.

Man do I love Capaldi. He did an amazing job with such incredibly lovely scripts. I don't know how the man kept a straight face in that episode where he had to yell with full passion about sleepy sand in your eyes killing you. That was painful. Oh my gods look at that lil house! Who's a happy lil house, who? You are! Yes you are! The top windows look like eyes and it looks like it's just chillin', being a happy house. Oh woops elves again how does this keep happening.

As a gift idea for this Christmas I've started working on illustrations for a small A6 desktop calendar. I might also look into trying to sell those calendars in case anyone is interested in actually buying one. For now, here's the first illustration.
