Nice to see another CA.org user here! Man, it was super intimidating to see the level of work over there, but seeing a person going from beginner to pro in a few short years was eye-opening. It really dispelled the myth that talent is ‘innate’, rather than a skill that’s ‘acquired’. The initial Inspiration is intrinsic, but the graft is extrinsic. My insecurity was pretty great back then and it really stopped me pursuing something that I wanted to. But, good you didn’t stop, because, Wow, there’s been a shit ton of improvement! I regret not having much juvenilia to look back on, if only to see how much I improved.
This forum mostly focuses on the 2-D, however people do post their 3-D. I think people also post 3-D work on Cubebrush. Their threads are pretty active, but I hate the UI. You have to continuously scroll and can’t just skip to a page (or at least I haven’t found out a way to).
Your rendering has come a really long way, those studies have really paid off! I really love the mood of the girl at the bottom left in the first 2020 compilation. I'm curious how long does a completed rendered illustration take (especially at the beginning of your art journey)?
Art is frustrating, especially when you are so focused on ‘the craft’, sometimes it’s hard to see the trees for the wood. Your recent studies/renders are /supar/ clean. Curious, did you look towards Jens Claessens during this era? Nice to see you try out more loose cartoon sketches. You could really try pushing the shapes.
You’ve caught your characters (outside of the aforementioned ‘cartoony’ sketches) looking rather rigid. I would recommend you practice gaining a hold of gestures and trying to draw the ‘lines of action’.
I echo Lunatique, you’re pretty much there, you just need to add the narrative element and you’re blazing away.
