Day 23
4h done
Thanks Freinik, will check it out.
So Im coming to a point where most artists start to lose creativity, because they are unhappy with their skills and therefore are afraid to produce original content. My way to combat it is to merge my concepts with studies. Be creative within the parameters of the study. Ive compiled an explanation below.
Crackedskull's way to make studies fun: Remember, there are no rules, just because you are doing a so called "study" of something doesnt mean you should replicate a 100% copy of it. If you think this color is more fitting and vibrant use it, even it looks different in the study. If you want to add something, go ahead, there are no restrictions. Doing a value study on a person, is it too boring? Add horns/a tail/ skullhands?. Doing environments, but they seem boring, add ruins/sci fi/ anything that intrests you. From there on you can morph the original study so much that it becomes something new.
The point of this is that there are no restrictions in studies, you can do whatever you want. And I say if you see a pattern of a face, then you better go for it champ!
3h study wip showing what I mean.

Progress on character, starting to get the feel down, also was really stuck on face, but Mr.White helped me out.
