Another commission.

This is beautiful! I'm really fascinated by the dappled lighting and out-of-focus effects in the background. Very cool!

I did more life drawing!

30-60 seconds

Love those faces in the last two.

I accidentally went to a farm park today, and saw donkeys

and chickens

and then I climbed a giant hill called THUNDERBARROW HILL and drew the world, but then I hosed up and grabbed my black copic instead of my grey

and then I was sad so I climbed back down THUNDERBARROW HILL and came home.

I bought a proper survey map of my area recently, and the main benefit is seeing all the awesome hill names. There is an actual Mount Zion a few miles from my flat.

Those are great! I really like the subtle field rows.

Also thanks everybody! I was really happy with how that turned out. Now I'm working on this commission:

That is quite the makeup job - she must get through so much concealer. I really like the palette, though the left figure could maybe do with something a bit more saturated to balance the pic - right now it feels right-heavy because of that figure's darker/more saturated colours.

they uses the seashell to make herself human.

yea i struggle with handling brighter colors. the alternatives...i'm not super sure about. i might make the blacks less black now that you mention it and use a less brighter hues for the skin tone.

Decided to try drawing my FFXIV character. A lot of details are off, but eh.

Edit: I forgot to draw her loving tail lol.

Edit2: been told by other goons that the pose looks very unnatural, so I'm going to work on it again tomorrow. Did the base of the new pose at least:

I spent today drawing poultry at the local farm park, and making really cute playing card sized paintings of them:



They're on my Etsy if anyone wants to grab one.

They do! I'm impressed you managed to pull it off in your style without it getting visually confusing. How come you don't use line variation?

I used to use line width variation. Back when I was going through a very rough phase I at some point decided to try fixed width in an attempt to allow myself to focus on the lines and shapes and make it less frustrating. It turned out that, after a while of experimenting with it, I actually liked the look of fixed width better overall too. I've stuck with it since. Occasionally I do try to go back to varying width, but I generally don't end up impressed with it.

As you noted, fixed width does have its fair share of challenges too, but I guess I just prefer the look overall, even when it comes to other artists' works.

Nice job with the sceneries by the way!
I always tell myself I should go out and draw from nature, but I never end up going. :(

Tonight: a quick sketch so I can hopefully get to bed at a reasonable hour one of these days.

Are you using references? It's generally well worth the time to dig up a photo of something similar to what you're drawing to help get it right.

Kinda? I'm working off screenshots from in-game. What I really should have done was log into the game and draw from there because then I can at least rotate the model, but my drawing setup and gaming setup are pretty far from each other :v: Not to mention that the pose isn't one I can actually do in-game so I need to cross-reference it with similar references and it all kinda gets a little bit lost in translation. Another day, maybe. I feel like focusing on specific body parts rather than doing another whole-body for the next few days.

Gray card stock, marker, and white pencil.



Edit: More snow.



Edit: And some Central Park.

from that angle, perspective does very big lines going far off the page in three directions.

I want to know what crimes the tree did to deserve to be tied down like that. How powerful is it? What will happen when it breaks loose?

Niiiice. I really like how especially in these two, the greyscale on card stock gives them the feel of an old, slightly yellowed black & white photo. It feels comfortable.

there's something about this work that I like. maybe i just like the gappy line art feel a lot but that's just me. now one thing that bothers me is the leg but maybe the pants are making them look weird. just me opinion.
