work in progress that is taking waaaaaay tooooo looooong (~3 hours so far?!?!?!?)
I spent so much time on the face of the guy on the left.
Image on the right is by my friend. I'm trying to match her piece in tone and style but it's so hard. Naturalism/realism is so hard. lol

Starting the next speed paint commission. Supposed to be a woman, but they're supposed to look like a guy. So I guess this will work. Do not google small pox scars.
 
I've been trying to get back into traditional stuff, but I should probably practice my digital work more because I'm a lot worse at it.

I think I'm going to work more on environments for a while. I've always wanted to do them, but avoid actually working on them. They are haaaard.

Ah well...

I really like the colors you used for this.
 
I was working on my half collab but my friend changed the tone of the image so now.. lol I have to fix it more to match now. In hindsight, I should have had the background and different elements on separate layers because she might change it all around when she finalizes the image.. lol

And new stuff I did today:
I like to draw this character rockin' and stuff.
I can't decide which looks better. I kind of like the first one with no background because it looks like cool character concept art to me.
2 hours? Paint Tool SAI.
 
^ That looks pretty awesome!
I guess it's only inaccurate because of stylistic desire/preference v.s. reality, but it's still very convincing nonetheless!

Oh look, I completed a commission!!!
Amazing! @___@ (please be proud of me. I am usually scared of commissions hahaha)

~30 min?? Actually a lot longer than I anticipated because I took my sweet time..
 
Annnd getting back to this one.


I think I've probably spent about an hour or 2 shading the armour in. I prefer sticking with a mech on that because the end doesn't get so dull too quickly and can stay fairly consistent. Still a bit away from being finished.
 
Did you use any 3D references? If not, you have an amazing perception of volume and geometry.

I used this picture, newly banned member (probably on gaming side). The skull has some crooked features, so I did my best Korean plastic surgeon impression and corrected the mistakes.

As always, an absolute delight to look through here.

Prax, it's a lot of fun watching your work progress. I liked the collab piece you did with your friend (and I really like your friend's style. lol)

InfiniteNine, I like your little sketches and the annotations you have with them. Cute stuff.

Firex, the same. Some of your stuff resonates with me more than others, but I like how ...what, simple? your stuff is. (I'm not going to comment on your Japanese handwriting though. ;)

C.B. - I'm always amazed how clean your work looks, even on paper.

Oatmeal, awesome detail on that skull!


I'm slowly working my way through Nicolaides while doing some Loomis and 60-second figure sketches online. Outside of my lunch break, I just don't have the time. Still doing the very basics - contour drawings in my sketch pad. Gotta learn to walk and all...

Good work everyone! Keep on scratching and sharing!
 

This looks very pro.

Yeahh~
Finally done after 9-10 hours!


And a kind of crappy progress gif that just shows huge jumps lol

I love how you use multiple hues for the skin.

Thanks, I hope that with the time I get better at identifying mistakes before calling something done. Btw for some reason drawing kanji is hard on tablet, my traditional writing is a bit better.

I just finished this study.

 
^ That is really nice linework, Timo! I love how exact and delicate it seems!
All my pencilwork is smears and stuff. I am sure even your messy stuff is better off than mine. XD

I got tired of the palette meme (I will continue to do it!), so I took a break and drew this:

My and a friend's characters in some weird dystopian punk pop future I dunno how fashion works. lol
 
I've been working through Dodson and Nicolaides during my lunch breaks - usually after warming up on some 60-second gesture drawings.

Yesterday I did a 15-minute blind contour drawing of my hand. (Exciting.) I may put it up later, but it's nothing special. Just more beginner practice. Scanning everything is such a pain in the butt...

Hahahaha what is wrong about a man pursuing his dreeeaaammsss ? XD

Another one today:

Sephiran from Fire Emblem.

I might do more tonight.

THARJAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaa!
I guess Anna or Gaius (my husband) might be ....acceptable alternatives....

I never pencil this tight normally. Which says a lot about how unsightly they normally are.

Wow, cool piece!

What's with the circle / triangle on the left side of the page?
 
Really loving what I'm seeing. Oatmeal and C.B. throwing it down!

So art gaf my computer is broke (has been for a while) and doing actual artwork is a pain because I have to travel an hour (by bus) to the library. If anyone knows of really good computer deals -- since I'm totally broke -- let me know.

With that said I've finally filled up my bus sketchbook and I may scan some junk in. For now I'll just post library art and art that I've done since being banned:

I've been drawing a bit lately, but not nearly as much as I should (being away at parents house is cramping that big time).

Mostly small sketches right now.


edit: Devil Trigger, ya has got comic-book status ink right there. Really great stuff.
 
Hey guys...it's been like...2 months since my last painting...Yeah I got burnt out but...I did this for fun while watching SGDQ


Took about 2-3 hours, but there was no pressure for it to be done for another person, so I was able to focus and get it done.
Feels good.
 
Finished.
Another 2 hours?

There are actually some glaring errors and they are going to bug the living shit out of me, but I don't really feel like fixing them, because I already gifted it to my friend. So there is no point.
