The Velvet Revolvers

[Vicianus]

I was gonna dump this when I came by earlier, but I had to kind of run out the door! So I'm back (they call me slim shady)

Photoref - I did these by hand today because my tablet's been pissing me off, and I have to pay more attention to my proportions if I do it in pencil because I can't just resize the parts I missed (which I was doing a lot.)


Life Drawing -


I keep trying to do proportion problem solving on longer pose pieces, starting with a part and just going and it SO isn't working for me... I just end up with the same problems I always have LOL. I imagine maybe in five years I'll have this stuff ingrained enough in me that I could do something like that, but I really need to focus more on the structure and proportion stuff I've been studying and using it even in "composed" "pretty" pieces LOL because the drawings I'm doing in a shorter time are WAY better than the other ones I'm trying to do... >O<

Self portrait sketch study for a charcoal piece I'm gonna try to do for a contest in the next couple days -


PIG STUDIES -


Imaginative Art -

I found Micheal Hampton's book on figure drawing! I'm totally into his breakdowns, I haven't gotten very far but I'm going to be using that to study hard in the near future! \m/

MOSTLY okay I'm looking for some advice/resources on high-level finish digital painting process. I got some stuff from Fedo on my sketchbook which was great, but I would love some more too!

I feel like I understand rendering forms/light/color pretty well, but I do struggle a ton if I want to put in tighter details... :X I could easily just get away with it if I went for a painterly thing, but cheap tricks to get away with stuff I don't know how to do isn't for me -- at the very least I'd like to learn some fancy rendering tricks and decide what kind of execution I want based on the piece. :o (Also, I think I want to go after more of a fake photoreal style anyway.) Thanks to Fedo I've already looked into it a little but if anyone reads this and has an awesome resource come to mind, please pass it my way!! <33
