Ok I lied on the last post, im posting my final art fight piece here
Tada!! Final piece. I think this one is good. For the posing of this piece I just took three pictures of me and photo bashed them together. Then i just kiiinda traced it OH NO!! jk its fine cuz its a bunch of photos of me. Whos gonna know😙well, I guess whoever reads this will (shh)
This one was a good one for me to do cuz it forced me to practice drawing features I don't usually do in my art cuz I just draw boring same face anime girls everytime, yknow all young skinny mostly pale characters. Which is BORING oops. I don't really know how to stop giving my characters same face syndrome... hmmm.. even here it does look kinda similar. Goal for next time? or maybe this time. Sometime. This is a very unprofessional blog
Anyways other than trying to fix same face syndrome I wanna finish ref sheets for all my characters. Uhh yknow the ones. I actually did not give their story a definitive name. But they were my actual ocs that I wanted art of for art fight but i had NO GOOD ART OF THEM so I put up pearl and nori. Pearl and nori stay for next year tho cuz i love them too they just dont have as much lore.
(TO BE CONTINUED) oh also maybe I should make some art for fields of Mistria
August Anatomy Practice
Ok soooooo I didnt do a lot of anatomy this month :( but its better than nothing! DO MORE IN SEPTEMBER!!
Im technically finishing this in september cuz i was on a camping trip for the last week of august but SHH its ok
ART STUDIES
This month we have.... 3 failed art studies!! Man, if only i have an attention span of more than 20 minutes
this one is like pretty close to being done. Notable things about this study:
Line art: Very thin, thinner where the bangs meet the face. Thinner where the light hits
Shading: Importance on mid tones, not every shadow has to be very dark. Also hard edges and soft edges.
Colouring: adding warm colours to cool shadows, and cool shadows to warm ones. Ex, in the blue shadows of the skirt
Yeah thats it (no its not but im lazy)
This was verrry unfinished buut
Lasso tool shadows were key here for the hair. Gradient within the shadow. Its mostly all hard edge, which gives it that crisp look i think. Shadows are also minimal and clear
Last failed study. This was actually an edit of a pjsekai card which is crazy cuz i thought it was the OG. Props to whoever edited this
Anyways this piece had a lot of using multiply shadows. Though it was very confusing at certain parts. I think my biggest takeaway from this was to utilize multiply and add layers, and also to add a gradient. Probably could learn more if I FINISHED IT.
There are also more indepth notes on this actual image so yeah look at that if you forget im not REwritting that out
(creds to all og artists, like i said last time no one is gonna see this so im not putting effort into crediting)
Art Pieces
this was not my month for art... call it art fight burnout. Or call it me burning out entirely. Whatever you wish!
This is like my only "finished piece". Its... fine? I don't like it all that much. I think its the shading of the hair. Looks horrendous for some reason. I think its because the hair itself is shaped in a way that doesnt lend well to shading. So next month goal, HAIR STRUCTURE!
But the expression is ok, doesnt look too lifeless, so i guess i somewhat completed my goal from last month
After that, I got super invested into making character reference sheets for my main characters. I took out the character comment cuz i hadnt actually put much thought into that yet. I kinda like this. Its not that bad. The pose is awkward for sure I think thats the worst aspect of this. Justice for Azzy
(though i do love my little character emojis here)
This one is ok too. Slightly worse than Azrael's tho. Off topic, but is Aselynn Bryony Wren giving too much of a Lily Blossom Bloom vibe, imaginary reader? I hope not cuz i think its a pretty name. Anyways the armor was super lazy because armor is such a PAIN. Otherwise its fine. Could be better, could be worse.
Finally we have this, which i do actually really like!! I had this idea after I bought my one piece poster and my mom was like "why dont you just make you're own posters, you're an artist." Kind of a crazy statement cuz like uhh its not really that easy, but it did inspire me to make a poster of my own characters. Didn't finish it unfortunately but im reaaaally hoping future me will. PLEASE FINISH IT!! I had a loooot of trouble with posing but the colouring looks really nice! I used this textured brush for the lineart and I think it looks really good. Maybe the failed art studies actually helped me this month!
Anyways, thats all for this month. Goals for next month, more anatomy, and actually finishing art pieces. Though i will cut a little slack for future me cuz she will be suffering from school. Good luck!
