20200412: - Quick gesture drawings from reference (1 hr): Tried to focus on motion lines for the 30s ones and think of structure starting with the 2 min ones. Stiffen everything up. Slows down. Gotta grab some more mileage. Cannot wait. - Anatomy study - Portraits (7 hrs): Should have been a 2 hour practice at most. 1.5 hr…
20200423: - Anatomy poses from imagination (1 hr): Bad day, lazy and tried something too hard i.e. semi-realistic shading on a anime face. Next time! 20200424: - Volume shading (4 hrs): Most fun part to do was the nose (started with it). Super struggles with eye rendering, likeness, lips. All that time spent on those…
20200427: - Color study (3.5 hrs): Specifically trying to get accurate saturation. The warm yellow point light doesn't seem to be as pure and bright as it should be, I'll blame the screenshot. For the cloudy scene shot, I didn't work on the skylight much since it looked good early on.
20200410: - Quick gesture drawings from reference (1 hr): Oof. Gesture drawing is hard. I've still yet to figure out how to get proper flow and good looking shapes. I dont even remember the analytical theory. Better grind 'til it's fine! - Clothes & Folds study from reference (3 hrs): The cloth felt more like value…
20200408: - Anatomy poses from imagination (2.5 hrs). It's so weird to stop a sketch when there's still so many mistakes all over the place. I know time shouldn't be taken into consideration when learning but erh. I'm the type that prefer to separate studies from work though reality isn't as simple. Seeing how much I…
20200413: - Anatomy sketches from imagination (2 hrs): I tried to better implement my latest study of the knee joint. Mostly remembering the different elements and where they are considering the motion. I also had some fun trying a more bulky body shape. Hard but fun task, failed to see certain parts such as trapezius/neck…
20200409:- Environment study - Man-made structures (2.5 hrs): As I painted those I asked myself what I was actually learning doing this study. I think it'd help me to read some background information before starting these next time! Maybe it's got to do with the level of details I'm going for. This could be a combination…
