Lookies
Looks I drewz a bishie
Not really. I tried to draw a "pretty boy". I don't think the guys I usually draw are really that manly, but I've been told so (hey ask k-pop and anime land how they like their boys), so I decided to do something different. It's based off my gaia avatar, which ironically enough, is on a female base because I can't be bothered to change it.
Umm yeah...one down, 3-ish projects to go.
oh before I go, there's a char concept sketch. She's changed so many times, I think I need to ditch the hair colour just to suit. hmmmmm
space samurai anyone?

I'm not whinging!
Tell that to Mr. Fife hahaa
Time to take a break from it all I guess. What annoys me the most is because I know what I'm doing wrong, and how to fix it. I'm half-expecting my old art teacher John to leap out of the closet to say "I told you!" I realised this formally when I got a kind nudge from another artist...hahaha. I was so pleased with the picture, I posted it straight away, only to return half an hour later ready to tear my hair out...in such a short time, I could already point out the mistakes clearly. The (editted) picture is at the bottom.
More studies for me.Even back to drawing fruit if I have to. And actually doing lineart, which I haven't done properly in almost two years. It's the last picture of this phase (hopefully). hehe
I ranted about it to Jo and Debs today, so I'm pretty sure they're not gonna appreciate me *complaining* about it.
Late last year when I picked up art seriously again, my goal was to get my backgrounds and colouring really up to standard. I think I forgot and went a bit beyond. I getting more confident, and I developed a technique that allowed me to paint fast, jumping from rough sketch to colour...because I merged the two in the early stages...scribble and blobs indicated figure instead of lines.
Now that's cool if you're photo-referencing closely (where I picked it up from) or if you actually have any trace of a rough sketch/lineart beforehand...but for the sake of speed, accuracy was lost (I hate how maths gets into art, "don't skip steps" my maths teacher says)

My internet is back.

30 mins later: Trawled through all of them, and saved awesome photos.
Inspiration of the month. This awesome guy (his latest works in particular tho)
uhhh...what's coming? I'm planning to challenge myself. I still have one old project to finish, and two to start. A male portrait cause I'm still bad at it and another attempt at a combat scene? And inevitably, if I want to make characters, I need reference sheets for all 5 of them. I noticed how I kept changing the appearance when I had to fish out some pictures for a gaia commissioner.
And then there's school life to deal with too. Ahhh...my brain is not going to cope.
don't look at my last post. it's ugly. will delete when I figure how or have time /crawls into a ball/
