I don't trust the egg guy with the beanie and roller blades. He's givin' me a weird look......

[SoulSean]

Holla, fellow.
Long time didn't post here

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Those aren't roller blades. They're hiking crocs lol

[aqua03]

Oh, lol. Good to know.

Another Arthropod study:

"That's Your Majesty from now on."

EDIT:

"I never wanted this crown, you know. No one ever believes me when I say this."
"I believe you."
"Yes, you. But you were dying to reap my father."
"I just knew it had to be done."

@MerrowBros My god, your anthropod study is charming.

As for this kid, he’s taking a moment to rest… just kidding, we’ve been at it all day.

I made a terrible mistake in how I decided to stylize these cantaloupes. This is taking forever .

I am back and while I had some fun time, I am still not there mentally yet. Tried this gal and she reminds me too much of the time I was very hesitantly starting my first drawing year, where you have to sit and squeeze out of yourself a new idea for a drawing every day. Well, it's a warm up anyway

Oh, that's really cool. How do you even find this kind of stuff online? Zines and contests, I mean. Sounds fun. xD

[nathanKmcwilliams]

Google searches mainly. Also I've got a couple friends that have sources too. Plus I spread my work around on different platforms besides tapas, which often have different contests going. (Namely Art Street. They have multiple contests running every month)

For Google searches I input "Comic contests 2022" or "manga contests 2022" something along that lines. Basically...I am not passive in how opportunities find me. I look for them, even if the searches sound on the nose...it's usually productive.

Still just kinda making up the assignment. Probably give obliques another few days with trying to add some review of the older material since it's been months .

Edit: plus the hands.

[LCT_m_a_d]

@DanielRKM He looks like he's seen better days. Nice weary lines!

@Kelheor when colored, this has club vibes

@migxmeg abdomens seem really hard to draw without looking cartoony but you nailed it

[Lensing]

Quick pose sketches one to two minutes.
I used to draw only naked poses but after a while it gets really annoying because
the models always stand around in the weirdest poses. I get the point, it´s easier to learn
the landmarks and see the anatomy but drawing people with clothes on just gives you more
"natural" poses. Except when you sketch sex scenes, people sleeping or sunbathing etc
because that´s when people are naked. The typical life drawing poses are just really annoying
after a while. Some of you guys maybe know what I mean

Me: googles stuff
Woof. Looks like not much for this year, since it's already August. Ah well. Will keep a look out next year. Zines are more fun though, since no competition is involved. Forgot about the ones I did years ago, should probably call upon my group again to do some more!

Was waiting around for Artstation's challenge for months now, got busy with work and couldn't check every f-ing day, then missed it. Really wish they had a newsletter and emailed members about when challenges start. I think I'll send them an email or tweet about that to see if they'll do anything about it.
