Hey, guys. Turns out, I still don't know what the hell I'm doing. Not even close. 3 years in and I'm just as lost as was when I first began this damn journey haha
I'm focusing on my anatomy, form/value, and design. I'm studying ref, replicating from mind and applying. Reffing anatomy construction from Hogarth, Loomis, and Bridgeman as I actually study from figures online.
MY BIGGEST ISSUES:
----drawing creatively from imagination (just means I have to continue to draw from imagination and not fear the ugly shit. be more playful and correct my mistakes. Pay attention to what walls i hit: push the extent of my knowledge)
-----studying form/value and having the information stick (currently rendering anatomy studies and mapping anatomy on the muscle masses)
------Weak design sense (I have an interest urban/scifi/cyberpunk stuff and over-the-top- Japanese rpg designs, lmao though, I feel compelled to dip my toes in the styles and aesthetic commonly found in Dungeons n Dragons/World of WarCraft/Lord of the rings blah blah stuff because I want to do tabletop rpg work and get a contract doing Magic the gathering/Legend of the cryptids level type work.
--------MASTER PAINTINGS: i want to know there purpose and when to study them, and how to apply the knowledge to my work!
I want to do digital life studies of stuff so I can apply it to a illustration I'm gonna work on this week and finish it next sunday (I have a pear in my fridge i wanna paint along with spoons n stuff)
This is an extremely small dump, considering the last time I posted. My god lol. OH: critiques please please please!!! I will apply every single crit I get! Thank you ALL!
