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

value study and a beast

A study I did to understand better tone and light

here is the reference

I kind of failed with the accuracy and I wasn't patient enough and wanted just to see the result

but I'll be doing a lot of random studies and I'll get better every time

here's a beast I did for homework

and then later I tried again but came up only with the bones and not the muscles

I'll be doing a lot more things like that and then I'll try to get a finished and polished result when I'll get a little better with this

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)

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!!

Finished drawing with it's process ~feeling the 50's

Hi there !

when I was practicing quick gestures and I noticed a really great one so I continued and here is the result.

I could go on forever with the details but hey,

I think it turned out ok

next week I'm starting a concept art course

I hope one day I'll become the artist I wish to be

!

Feeling the 50's - drawn in photoshop

Hi there! 

After seeing a great photograph I really wanted to draw it so here you go :)

I guess you can call it a photo study 

I still need to work on the background, her hand and legs.
