artist in training! i draw a lot on twitch
taking notes on hatching/linework for art that i like and then trying them in practice. i feel like art studies have been so great for understanding a different perspective or take, but i feel like it's difficult to balance copying the lines with absorbing the technique.
helloo, i've recently reworked the way that i draw and wanted to showcase that here with some new sketch c0mmissi0n sheets! if you want more info, feel free to DM or check VGen!
started a new challenge for myself to draw a scene every week. i feel like i need to start practicing the things i want to draw vs studying how to draw them. so with that being said... the scene of this week is a fight scene!
more 3 value portrait studies these studies are absolutely changing the game in how i view painting and drawing in general. the replication looks complex, but it's actually VERY doable, especially when starting with simpler shapes. can't reccomend these enough.
3 value portrait studies slowly starting to introduce another value into my portrait studies. i'm getting the hang of recognizing shapes and using them to draw the portraits. having a lot of fun painting these which is huge!! bc i hated painting!!
black and white value studies came across a youtube video that i'll link in a comment but kinda changed the game for me. reducing everything in an image to just black and white really helped train my eye to see just the essentials. will be doing these a LOT more.
value background study i actually really enjoyed doing this study. started by blocking out the darkest values and move upwards. also tried keeping the shapes as big as possible and progressively added detail as values got lighter. but how do i translate this to colors... #artstudy #background
I've always been the type to give up on something if I didn't have an innate knack for it. If it didn't make sense from the get go, I would lose interest and move on. That is, until I started drawing. I complain a LOT about things not making sense and about having to-
armor studies i'm starting to realize that i am really inexperienced at painting. there is so much more to explore in regards to values, shapes and COLORS (god, colors...) feeling both overwhelmed and excited to learn more. i love art!! but its a lot...
Legend of Zelda Samurai AU the more i doodle these ideas, the more i make up more brainrot lore here's what i got so far: zelda is raised as a farmgirl by impa. the triforce of wisdom is connected to the mark in her forehead and allows her to see visions of the future. 1/2
LOZ AU ganon is a warlord trying to seize power since his lands are wartorn and impoverished. link and zelda are childhood friends who grew up in a small village together. zelda was sent away at birth by the emperor because of the coming war. link dreams of becoming a samurai.
yet another background study honestly, my appreciation for background artists has grown exponentially while doing these. watching princess mononoke today made me think, "my god, these backgrounds must have taken so much work." improved - values to do - shaping, texturing and.. values.
background studies from stream i think texture and values have been a big issue for me when doing these, so i'll be focusing on them more going forward. doing these feels like a sidequest that helps further the main story.
i wanted to get better at drawing more quickly / confidently from imagination, so i decided to draw a bunch of faces on stream the other day. here are some portraits from memory i did on stream (used refs for the more recognizable characters)
