Shuuda Posted May 18, 2015 Author Share Posted May 18, 2015 [spoiler=Joan Miro] Another image from my Man Ray books. Aside from the botched hand job, I think it turned out okay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuuda Posted May 26, 2015 Author Share Posted May 26, 2015 Another portrait from my Man Ray books. [spoiler=S.M. Eisenstein] And here's a bonus image I did some time ago as a quick brush test. [spoiler=Ampharos... again] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted May 29, 2015 Author Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Another bust, this time of the Surrealist, Andre Breton. [spoiler=Andre Breton] Again, this image was copied from a photograph taken by Man Ray. Edited May 29, 2015 by Shuuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted May 31, 2015 Author Share Posted May 31, 2015 This image was taken from a photo of Marcel Duchamp. Sadly, the reference image was very dark, so I had a hard time making out the lower half. [spoiler=Marcel Duchamp] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted June 3, 2015 Author Share Posted June 3, 2015 I've been busy over the past few days, but I managed to take some time out to try something new. [spoiler=Garchomp] For this one, I tried going back to a smooth looking line. Unlike the images from my first post where I used smooth lines, I drew this one by hand, rather thank using the Sai lineart tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I'm gay dabadeedabada Posted June 3, 2015 Share Posted June 3, 2015 Why are your lines so beautiful! I am burning with more jealousy than I am burning with gayness for Lettuce not anymore! When you draw referencing photos, do you visualize the shapes in 3D as you do so? It doesn't really help right then and there but I think it's a good exercise for later when you do weird complex shapes on your own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you draw referencing photos, do you visualize the shapes in 3D as you do so? It doesn't really help right then and there but I think it's a good exercise for later when you do weird complex shapes on your own. I usually spend some time breaking the reference into a bunch of shapes before working on my project. If the reference is digital, I'll bring it into the program and draw over it to get a feel for the different parts. For tonight, I ended up getting frustrated trying to draw what I was hoping to draw. There was just no inspiration at all. So in the end, I just rushed out this quick sketch to get something out. It's my Dunmer thief, since I got back into Morrowind recently. [spoiler=Lleris] It's been a long time since I attempted a full body from imagination.

Tessie Spoon Posted June 7, 2015 Share Posted June 7, 2015 Sketchy as it was, it looks rather good! I rather like how you rendered the face and hair. Feel free to take it with a grain of salt, but I've some advice based on trying that pose in front of a mirror: - That leg positioning is rather uncomfortable to hold. - His right foot (from our view) should look more like it's seen in profile. - His left foot (from our view) should point slightly more towards the viewer. - The lines of his pants (specifically on the sides that aren't touching either side of the thighs and calves) should be less static. Meaning they should have a slight wave here and there, as you can see on Ike's pants in this artwork. -- Adding onto the above, those little waves exist because it in on those waves where the pants don't tightly connect to Ike's legs. -- Also, where the pants tightly DO connect to the legs is where the lines are straighter, depending on just how tightly the pants cling. The more cling, thestriaghter they get until the curvature is only there to show the contour of the leg parts. - The foreshortening on his left bicep(?) is good in the visible length, but the shape could have been better to reflect it looking more like it's getting farther from the viewer. Looking at my own arm, the place where it connects to the torso is widest, whereas it tapers a bit as it goes to the elbow. Maybe I have a freak arm, but I hope that gets across the idea of how to change the shape. I don't know what to say about the other aspects, but I hope this advice helps. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted June 9, 2015 Author Share Posted June 9, 2015 Thanks. I'll keep those things in mind. I decided to repreat the style of the previous Flygon piece with this next one. [spoiler=Ampharos] I might try adding some colour later at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted June 11, 2015 Author Share Posted June 11, 2015 I coloured the previous image. [spoiler=Coloured Ampharos] Think it turned out all right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Melodi Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I really like the way the coloring on your newest Ampharos pops in comparison to the other Ampharos you drew! Even though the coloring does look shiny sometimes, I feel like it has some serious oomph! Keep it up Shuuda~! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shuuda Posted July 16, 2015 Author Share Posted July 16, 2015 (edited) It's been a while since I've actually posted anything in this topic. That's mostly because the stuff I've been doing is just practicing and doodling. I figured I might as well show something for my work.

Tessie Spoon Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Feels to me like you're making improvements in terms of anatomical accuracy. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted August 5, 2015 Author Share Posted August 5, 2015 I finally found the time and effort to scan in some of my sketch book pictures, which I've been doing some more of recently. I've been working on trying to improve my pencil shading. [spoiler=Mawile] [spoiler=Dragonite] [spoiler=Work In Progress] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted August 7, 2015 Author Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) I've finished my Scizor sketch. This time however, I did some post editing to up the contrast of the image, hopefully making things a bit more distinct. [spoiler=Scizor] Here's a link to the unedited sketch. I'm curious as to which version you think is better. Personally, I'm not so sure about this one. I don't think I did a particularly good job of capturing the metalic look with the shading.

Shuuda Posted August 26, 2015 Author Share Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) I've been rather busy lately, so I've not had to much time to post. That said, I've got two new drawings to show. [spoiler=Espeon] This one's relatively simple, and I think the legs are a bit too rushed. Reference [spoiler=Flareon] Personally, I think this one turned out really nicely. I just like the pose, and I think the fur came out better than I thought it would. Reference Edited August 26, 2015 by Shuuda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tao Posted August 28, 2015 Share Posted August 28, 2015 I'm not really any art critic or anything, but I really liked how the Flareon's tail came out. I also really liked the Espeon one, though that might have to do with personal bias, but it was still done rather well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tessie Spoon Posted August 31, 2015 Share Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) They both look really nice to me! Will you get around to coloring them? :> I'd give feedback, but I sadly have none ^^; Edited September 1, 2015 by Tessie Spoon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted September 9, 2015 Author Share Posted September 9, 2015 I've got no plans to colour any of those picture. I'm quite happy just to leave them as pencil sketches. I do have something new to show however. I got my hands on some charcoal pencils. I decided to go back to my Man Ray books for something to draw.

Tao Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I dunno who that is, but that looks rather nice. The shading is gentle and realistic, I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuuda Posted September 17, 2015 Author Share Posted September 17, 2015 I've done another portrait with my charcoal pencil, once again dipping into the Man Ray books. For the most part I think this one turned out better, but I think there might have been an issue during scanning.

Tessie Spoon Posted September 21, 2015 Share Posted September 21, 2015 It looks a lot better than your previous attempt! The masses of the body (such as the nose and forehead) are noticeable, whereas before they looked rather flat. The biggest issue I see is the eyes not having enough shadow around them; a little more would make it more accurate, since the underlying skull has the eye sockets within their own little caverns. Plus, you forgot to shade in the lower lip. The ear should also be slightly bigger. I hope this feedback helps! Overall, I'd say this is a decent result!
