100 days of art

[Lensing]

Marc Brunet´s 30 days art challenge is really good.
His Youtube channel is better than his courses

[Leyelle]

Oh, have you purchased some of his courses? I can't afford that so I stick to free resources

[Lensing]

I regret it, the tutorials are really, really long and it´s hard not to fall asleep

[Lensing]

I´m drawing 15 mannequin figures from the Tenten book each day,
then 60 one minutes figure drawings.
There are still very essential things about figure drawing that feel
like I´m not getting them. Maybe I´m just being too german and want
things to be over correct and by the rules.

And then I´m doing longer sessions, I´m basically just drawing a lot

[Leyelle]

I drew another mermaid lol

I made a video today to celebrate my art journey so far

Figure drawing warm up, 15 of those torso drawings, 60 (one hour) of quick sketches
I traditionally sketches a hand yesterday while watching tv and realised that the method
that I learned or came up with helped me, good feeling. I wish that the practice routine
works the way I want it to work and that I didn´t waste my time all those years.

And I´m sketching with the overhand grip now, it first feels worse than drawing with your
non dominant hand but I think I got used to it now

[Lensing]

I´m changing my drawing routine right now and putting more focus on shapes and
perspective. I´m thinking about starting artwod. The teacher has a one week trial
thing. It´s a lot about drawing with basic shapes, perspective, construction etc.

I've made it about halfway through the Marc Brunet course, but I still have to finish it. I've been so busy drawing art for magazines that I haven't had the time or energy yet

[Leyelle]

It's been too long since I posted her but I have still been creating regularly. I just can't share a lot of it because of copyrights and such

Just got a commission for a magazine to make some art for them. I'm tweaking out and praying I don't botch this cuz I only have seven days to make three pieces. Still I'm gonna try my best

This is a part of one of my design ideas:

And here's a doodle I made just cuz

[Leyelle]

I successfully finished my 3 magazine commissions!

and made this doodle:

Today is the one year anniversary of my digital art journey!

(this is a sketch I'm working on for a magazine commission)

[Leyelle]

I just wanted to share this since it's such a big milestone. Four days before my one year learning to draw digitally anniversary (last monday) my art appeared on this magazine cover:

Finally getting back to work on my comic strip

[Lensing]

Nice, have you tried putting a gradient map on it or color the black & white version?

[Lensing]

I´m doing a lot of coloring right now, more simplified and thinner outlines.
I´m used to make thick comic outlines and also to close the outlines.
My plan was to finish it today but I´ll probably just finish the flat colors
today

[Leyelle]

I don't even know what a gradient map is lol. as for coloring it, every seventh episode of the comic is in color

[Leyelle]

looking great so far! ngl I like thick lines in comedic comics

[Lensing]

I always thought you were already using gradient maps in the black/blue illustrations
Gradient maps are great, you shade in black and white and then you put a gradient
on it. It´s crazy how good that looks sometimes without having to choose colors

[Lensing]

I like them in the cartoons too but I´m trying to get to a more painterly style
for some illustrations
