Portrait level up

My level up!

a study

Acrylic sea doodle from life

~olyadbg

face structure and value study

here is the process

lately i've sculpting a head in Zbrush so now I take a little break

to draw a portrait and understand the structure in the process

some of the studying I did in my head 

and then I added some details and rendered a little bit 

oh

here is the reference

face studies

face studies

I think I'm getting better but I'm still lazy with the details

original: Reference

and before drawing Ian McKellen I tried to draw a random chick

and I failed so hard 

looks nothing like the original 

I don't know why I even care

it's not like I want to make portraits 

I thought, since it's face study and I'm posting a link to the reference I have to make it a real portrait... so it would look pretty much alike...

and the whole point is just to know how to shade a face and colour it.

so I don't know...

oh I almost forget

my first attempt in Zbrush! I'm a total noob

but we had a zbrush class in College (Concept design course)

They gave us homework to make 5 heads

the first one is supposed to be a shitty one to get used to the program.

and it's supposed to be a learning process.

I just sculpted as it was simple clay

so it was kind of fun

here it is, didn't use reference (forgot to research out of excitement)

oh well... XD

it's something!

color&value face study and something

I'm kind of ashamed that it looks nothing like the original, and no it's not Putin.

It's a face and value study and I probably have to give you the reference and I really don't want to because I failed so much lol... 

but here it is: Reference

but I guess it's ok because I'm not looking for making portraits so it would look exactly like the original but it's a great skill that needs to be obtained over time.

after that I did another study

in this one I didn't really try to look like the original and well.. its really far from looking the same

in this study I practiced using color with multiply layer and screen layer

It looks nothing like the original: Reference

and a project for my Concept Art course 

I wanted to challange myself and I did, it was very complicated for me.
Though it really doesnt look that great and I learned a lot from this piece.

I had a lot of mistakes and next time you will all see my progress

I don't like this piece... but I'll get pro

Leg anatomy, faces hands and doodles

studies! more and more and still not enough

but now I'm back

so here are some face studies. a doodle from the right. a bit practice on hands though I really need to do hundreds of those..! and then leg anatomy study

when you've got to do something you just need to stop thinking and sit and work on it

I had a lack of motivation lately

I was confused by my schedule and inconsistency

it's not about the art schedule

it about all the other things I need to do in my life

I'm trying to balance those things

and I think it starts working as before

To do: 

*colored face studies

*study the rest of the leg anatomy

*armor study 

*environment mood study for my project

*study famous pieces (color and composition)

Gluteus Maximus

la yesterday studies studies

and some of the homework from class

It's really great to study anatomy to actually understand the figure.

It's so complicated and amazing and it's really interesting.
