The Sketch a Day Thread!

[migxmeg]

Thank you ! Some things still just feel off to me but what the heck, getting somewhere. He's such a cool character and Mercy is adorable too - can't wait to catch back up on the story .

[Legendofgenii]

Wow! This is absolutely gorgeous Meg! I love the lines, colours, shading & highlights - just all of it!

Rough sketch of a first hard fight for one of our MCs

Well, the lesson of the day is that somewhere in between being able to draw fine and actually building a body structure (even for a simple redraw) I lack some fundamental knowledge and I have no idea where to get if from Should I take a stickman approach? Simple figures? Doesn't sound like a right decision.
Also shoulder blades. Why oh why. I need more refs, it would be nice if they would be accompanied by the overdraws

@Meehow nice scene! There's some cool tension

@Kelheor another awesome study! From my experience I liked starting static proportions with stickman, and dynamic figures with gestures. Art school didn't have much to say aside from learn both lol

@nathanKmcwilliams another classic!

[Kelheor]

Coloring experiment and Shedal who looks like a little b**ch xD

@LCT_m_a_d thank you! Gotta learn both it is!

[DelythThomasArt]

They look fab, I want to do that too. Glares at Smaugust

A lil practice to defuse after work

[Meehow]

thanks mate! good to know we are on the right track

[migxmeg]

@DelythThomasArt thank you - Smaugust is going sooo well though! Enjoying your hard work :).

@Legendofgenii thanks so much and love to those abandoned sketches, lot of good stuff there - the 4th one is way too precious.

@Kelheor Your note on the study cracked me up. Shedal looks beauuuutiful - I'm trying to disconnect my eyes and brain wondering if the parts that look blue actually are.

I think "irritated" got through for today's prompt - not attached enough to this one to bother with color or refining it I think .

[Kelheor]

Sometimes you just need to draw your character looking like...that xD The blues are all grey part of purple and red spectrum, which is absolutely mind-blowing to me who is not used to this kind of magic
Great catch of the mood! You're absolutely nailing this challenge Does it take a lot to get the idea how the particular emotion should look like? Some must be definitely harder than others.

[migxmeg]

absolutely mind-blowing

Agreed! It looks stellar - I think those implied colors have a hum to them that feels really satisfying to look at.

This challenge is making me notice that alternate shots get used expressively all the time in stuff I watch/read for some of the emotions and not so much for others. I'm not being too tough on myself about getting it right, so the real hard part is that apparently I'm a self-indulgent artist that just wants to draw faces all day long... but maybe I'll be more creative with camera angles going forward, so that makes it worth it heh.

[Legendofgenii]

Ooo I like this one. Those raised shoulders and the balled up fist. MOOD.

[Legendofgenii]

the 4th one is way too precious.

Thank you. I think I’ll try to rescue that one and Erras with his map. I need some panels where he looks happy.

[Kelheor]

I need some panels where he looks happy.

we all do

Entry for @Zak's thread

Hi, I haven't done this before. But I wanted to let the community know of this. By August 9th of this year Ill be uploading my 100th episode to Tapas. Not like a 100th page but a 100th upload none the less. So forgive me for having this under the wrong category (Again, I havent actually done this before so feel free to call me names and call out on my total BS Ima about to spill lol). So what I thought could be fun that is anyone, readers and artists alike could draw a panel from my comic …
