School work, forgot how much time it took probably like 1 hour...

 

[Ken]

Some more figures done throughout the day.

Time: Too long
Medium: GIMP + Wacom
Notes: I'm really unhappy with this page. Too bight, too messy, too complicated.

Day six, ~1hr.

 

[EVIL]

lets start this

30 min or something

 

[FiRez]

Hampton's head construction technique seems much easier to follow than Loomi's

I revised some of my past drawings too:

I hadn't posted this one before, might as well post it now:

 

[Prax]

Haven't drawn a while due to wedding stuff, but here's something~

We're losing people. D:

 

[highrider]

Still cranking them out. This thread has inspired a very prolific phase for me so I'm going to keep it going as long as I can.

loving this one. How do you make them? Sketch out a pattern and then mirror it?

I've been on vacation for two weeks, but will start again, I promise...

Exactly what I did. And thanks!

Pickle, is there a way you can order those as the backs of playing cards and stuff? Those look awesome

 

[The_Joker]

edit: looks like a fusion between cell and freezer

These are all done on my phone so they aren't my serious presentation stuff, just elaborate doodles really. Anybody can have the images, if you need something in native resolution just pm me.

I appreciate the positive feedback from my fellow GAF homies. I don't have many people in my life that are in to art much so it's nice to have a place to show what I can do.

 

[Anteater]

day 30, an hour

Trying to keep it sfw so I don't really want to add too much details, just trying to learn the form and shape.

We've been doing this for nearly a month

 

[Collete]

Day 20/21/22...I need to be daily again..

 

[Psychological Intellect]

blagh. I'm missing so many days. idk about 20 mins each.

[Ken]

About 30 minutes.

Proportions and perspective are just bleh. Also need to find a brush that feels good to sketch with.

day31, 1 month has passed

 

[jujubeads]

Day nine, ~2hrs.

Congrats on hitting the one month mark, btw! pretty badass persistence from you guys.

 

[Simian]

quick sketch, 15mins.

 

[FiRez]

Eye-balled drawing

 

[Black Door]

Kinda NSFW, but I guess it doesn't matter much here..

Found a shitty drawing of an angel I drew a year and a half ago, and based a better drawing off of it. Pencils and inks took about 20 mins to do after brainstorming.

 

[Psychological Intellect]

30 mins

blegh

 

[Ken]

Need to work on line weight, perspective, and looking for a good brush to use for figure drawing urghhhh.

I'd love critique on specific things to focus on for tomorrow.

Man Photobucket is dogging me. I deleted a ton of stuff. Anybody know an ok image host?

Time: 41 mins

Notes: I spent most of this morning trying to deal with the changes to Opera 15. I don't like it. Luckily Opera 12.x will still get security updates for a while.

I'm away the next two day so probably won't get to do art tomorrow or Thursday...

Imgur (but it won't all images bigger than 10MB) and Minus (it does allow images bigger than 10MB) are two of the most popular services used here. Also Abload.de.

[CPCunha]

Trying to get out of my comfort zone, getting this down as fast as i can, 2-3 min. tops for each...

 

[Anteater]

well...

 

[sirap]

Quick sculpt in Zbrush to test out R6's new features.

 

[jujubeads]

Day ten, ~45m.

I'd love critique on specific things to focus on for tomorrow.

it could be a good exercise to do a sheet where every figure has the amount of detail you put into the center figure of your second sheet (guy with his back turned/legs wide apart). seems like that would be a good next step to me -- correctly placing muscle groups from various angles does a lot to further one's understanding of anatomy.

 

[Black Door]

Day two: Now with colors, ~1 hour.

 

[User 73706]

Finalized a concept for Tempest. Robot space cowboy dude. In his classy-ass civilian garb on the left, full combat armor on the right. Complete with time cop pistol!

 

[Keikaku]

First day where I really feel like my bronchitis and double ear infection is just about done. Please, please...let it be so!

Medium: Photoshop
Time: 19 minutes
Notes: Getting back into this with a quick study that's based on some M.C. Barrett stuff. He's a god of linework so my makeup sketches are probably all going to be art studies of his stuff.

 

[Glasswork]

Medium: Photoshop CS6 with Bamboo.
Time: 40 minutes
Notes: Been trying to actually practice instead of doodling random shit, currently focusing on gesture and proportion.

One thing though, I have no idea how people can do gesture drawings in like a minute or two per gesture, I'm so very slow and I keep repeating my lines to get them right and even still I'm usually not satisfied with them completely ;A;

You need to keep a few things in mind when you do gesture drawings:

• They're called "gesture drawings" for a reason. They shouldn't take more than 1-2 minutes each or else you're not really drawing in a gestural fashion.
• Don't aim for perfection or complete satisfaction. Gesture drawings are supposed to capture the line of action, not duplicate reality.
• Once you have the line of action of the pose down on the paper, make 2 marks-1 for the top of the head and 1 for the bottom of the feet
• Once you have that, draw a box where the pelvis would be
• Breakdown the rest of the body from there
• Yes, it'll look rough. It's supposed to.
• Don't try to be perfect. That's not the point of a gesture drawing.
• Be fast first and you'll get good later.

Hmm, I'll try that, thanks for the advice.

No worries. Gesture drawing is extremely hard to do and takes a lot of practice. The biggest thing is simply not to try to do too much all at once.

The image above is a fair approximation of where you may want to begin. It's very general but it captures the line of action of each pose, the pelvis and several important landmarks.

Keep on practicing
