color study and spitpainting

color study, worked with big brushes

and a drawing done for a facebook group called Spitpaint

the point of the group is drawing something in 30 minutes that is related to a certain topic

I did "Floating Tree"

my first spitpainting, it kind of weird

next spitpainting will be better!!

wip - random sketch

I was going to upload a sketch but every time I felt like it's not good enough
I know I got better 
but I'm far from being really good
knowing that I didn't use any reference is motivating 
and the whole process was very messy and more of an experiment

it was fun and I'll try to get more into details

keep practicing anatomy!

keep practicing gestures, clothing materials, color and light theory

and with each day of practicing I'll get better

Color Study

Here is a color study from the book "Color and Light" by James Gurney

There's a piece there by Martin Keane

The face has more complex colors, the nose and cheeks area is more red.
The zone from the nose to the chin tends towards blue or green and the forehead is more yellow.

I used a big brush and I know it doesn't look very good
and comparing to the original it's almost horrible
but it's a start
...



next color study will be better 
maybe one day I'll recreate this study and we will all see the progress :P

Drawing practice

~olyadbg

Random Drawings - gestures, feet and a dog

random studies

~olyadbg

~olyadbg

another study

la random drawing studies

I know the basics of drawing a head but I just felt like I need to refresh my memory and get back to studies

when I sketch faces/heads from my mind it looks kind of bad.... 

and here are some sketches without paying much attention to anatomy

lazy clothing studies - drawing

what a lazy day..
First lesson of concept art course starts in a few hours and I'm really excited.
Maybe that's the reason I have such lousy studies today....
I need to get over it and quick!
That's it!
shit gets real now
and I have to give it my best
study and practice as much as I can
I feel like it's the first time in my life I'm giving myself a chance
I've been drawing pretty much my whole life but I had some breaks in high school 
Since I was a little girl I thought artists can't make it in the real world so I got into computer science in high school and today as 21 years old I work in an IT department in a nice company.
I like my job and since I work only 3 days a week I have time for drawing.
I know I'm not good enough and as most artists I see a lot of flaws in my drawings
but with hard work and dedication everything is possible
it's time to start believing in myself
