missimoinsane digital painting improvements :3

So I have got involved with a private art study group (SB) along side a friends and each week there's some tasks set which are optional studies and I figured I might as well share the first two weeks worth of what I created from it.

WEEK 1 SB

So week one we were drawing spheres and shading them with values. And also doing some free hand lines.

WEEK 2 SB

Then for week two we were looking at perspective (which I utterly suck at) and it took me far far too long 'cos I'm a bit OCD and also have medical issues. But even so we had to create some perspective boxes. I went a bit crazy and did some free hand stuff and some additional box painting things and then we had to look at buildings / scenery / landscapes and perspective pieces and a final piece in colour looking at all what we've previously covered. So here's how that worked out for me...


Text says: I’m still only learning prospective. I am much better, in my opinion, at vanish point perspective. As seen in purple to the top left of this work sheet. I also did, as requested, the perspective ones using left and right view point - clearly I’m not so good at this. While I do understand it it just doesn’t come as natural/easy to me. I then figured I’d take this further and look at some images of boxes and do a rough work free hand from what I saw working with perspective and perspective lines again. I also added in some free form drawn shapes down the bottom just because I could and finally I did a digital painting of four boxes. Again thinking about perspective. This is something I am working to improve on.



Ok so each thumb took between 1-2hours (total time spent about 5-6 hours). I did use grids because between the OCD part of me and my medical problems I just find it easier to draw this way, hope that's acceptable.

So back where I grew up, The Lincoln Imp was my local.. home of many memories and many friends. Kinda wanted to do a tribute to that and so used it as my perspective piece. Picture of pub is screen shot from google maps. Then my perspective line art and I coloured it well... I wanted to do something different. I will probably one day colour it properly. But I had fun. Line art around 7 hours or so colouring around 3 hours.



Final Piece can be found on deviantART >>HERE<<

Ps. I now have Photoshop CS6 and the only brushes used in the making of this are CS6 basic brush set!
