Been Ages since I posted here -
A sketch for Gunnhildr High School's mascot. It's going to appear in an upcoming episode as a wooden cutout. A cute prop to distract from all the horror that awaits
And logo for Crimson Panda, a celebrity wrestler and yep, he was once a student of Gunnhildr High
And a render of him with the logo on his chest, recently finished texturing his vest and mask
@Kelheor Love the dramatic vybe of the Blacks Freehand Attempt, very eye catching. Also love the strands of hair, they pop out over his face shadow, feeling loose and light -a cool contrast the overall solid shadows
@candiedcotton love the hair, the waves on the big boy and the ears shape is interesting. Nice shading on the silver hair too, you captured the softness really well, guess he/she's gonna have to run like hellz after them now XD
@DoctorLoops OMG i love her grooving She'll bring joy to her patients
@bulgariansumo love it, they all so expressive, keep it up! The expression with starry eyes is 100% cuteness!
Heyyyy @stiatent glad to see you back! And thanks so much! Great work on the Crimson Panda, all your characters are always so cool
@bulgariansumo this looks great! Did you apply for the Tapas banner contest?
Hi I am Kel and I am drawing broken glass for fun
You can practically feel how I should be coloring backgrounds right now lol
@Kelheor It's an urban legend I stopped searching a long time ago
Thank u
@Surihpas you flatter me !
I´m doing the new Proko course and going back to traditional media.
I realised that I never had good pencils and no clue what all the HB, 2B names mean.
I also started using a sketchbook again.
Drawing this portrait was really hard because you have to do it with just drawing
the outer shapes and the shapes shadows, halftones etc, that´s something I never did
and it was really hard to measure it. I also don´t see the difference nuances of light,
shadow, core and half shadow yet. But I guess this will be a really cool skill when
I practice it.
I recommend this basic course, it has two levels for beginners and experienced people,
Proko is the best online teacher in my opinion
Thanks! I did run out of ideas for her pants, so your suggestions are really helpful! Might try to incorporate the assymetrical pattern in there somewhere...
@bunny Absolutely loving her outfit and the way you do creases and folds. You're killing it!
@wispysing well it was a good reference Haha I'm not nervous at all
I was merely mimicking the reference. I still can't grasp folds and fabric that well haha but uk what that's a nice compliment and I'm in need of those so I'll take it!
@l_vi I did mah best
@Lensing these are some pretty good shapes! And it feels a lil bit stylistic which personally I like. The ears need a bit more work but that doesn't stop them from having a nice cubic feel ! Good job
Have any of you tried to do a robot before??? Like the transformers kind?
As a homage to my new toy -I bought Scavenger NBK transformer from AliExpress-, I tried to do him... immediatly knew that I needed help, so I used primitives cubes to do the pose, and then I filled the space... and now I have a full new respect for every drawer that had to do the transformers, specially for those who did them before 3D came around.
I tell you, this is not for the faint hearted.
been artblocked to hell n back lately and felt especially worn out today till i caught the latest Dream BBQ trailer from Joel G and it's absolutely flipped a switch in my brain especially with Oliver Buckland's music accompaniment (song title is damn good too! anemoia which apparently comes form the dictionary of obscure sorrows and it's definition is "nostalgia for a time you've never known") needless to say all that combined scratched an itch i didn't even know i had. i'll probably be screwin around with fanart stuff but aww man it felt good getting something out even if it's as simple as this
@Lensing same! I struggle with proportions so a foundation is a must. Im not brave enough to try shapes now so kudos to u !
@Kelheor so pretty And yeah ik how that feels... Its good you got a good sketch afterward, bc in my case that would be art block fuel
@bunny well, can't be productive every day after all but yeah, if you already feel bad, it definitely won't help
and thanks! I would've never guess doing a study can be a way out of time spent unproductive, but suddenly it works. Maybe it's just a good month for me though xD
@Aleksei man, this one rocks! I had to do the mecha for another comic, and it's so hard even though I've made it as non-square as possible x) When constructing it I looked through a ton of sketches from Transformers and some other mecha artbooks and they were aaaaabsolutely fascinating, I think my jaw dropped with every small detail sketch hahaha
@Lensing I got so used to drawing with HB pencils back at school I am afraid to even buy others xD not sure if I will be able to use them properly anyway
@Aleksei Looks great! I wouldn’t know where to start. Lol.
@Kelheor Such a lovely study.
@VibrantFox I know how you feel
️
Love the pose on this one @IndigoShirtProd
Many thanks my friend glad you find him cool cant wait to post more soon. Broken Glass sketches lookin awesome and love the blond model studies look hot. Broken brain = epic work
@candiedcotton dont worry your shading look awesome on the hair i mention previously. The sketch lines look awesome, like how u got the wrinkles under eye. Keep it up
@Lensing the construction lines look intersting, with the way you captured rounded shapes. I usu accustom to drawing with sharp angles.
@bulgariansumo ur welcome. Yep promo art is always fun , true next time ud be ready for them keep it up
I didn't let the transformer win. I decided to give it a go to do it like it should, and I like the results =D
The funny thing was that I had already dismissed the idea of drawing the transformer, and just by magic I opened a tutorial of rules in CSP, and I wasn't searching for that, it was a happy finding, and showed how to draw a motorcycle only with rules. Then it just hit my head -forget the motorcycle, put the transformer in there!! And decided to do this. It took my hours, but its a effective way to do transformers and robots.
