I got overwhelmed at school already! It is our second week back at that shit and I'm already getting stressed. What was funny was that while I was cluttered in all this schoolwork, I actually wanted to hop on my computer and do some painting! I never had that thought in a long time actually...
(Art): Another cylinder and MY FIRST ANATOMY STUDY IN VALUE!!!!!(single tear rolls down my face) to improve my blending and painting skills as a whole.
Most of the values on the arm study are wrong (the bottom of the chest is too light, I defined the bicep too heavily on the right side, getting hard edges are a bitch), but I can feel my observation skills improving doing this one study though. But for the LOVE of me, I COULD NOT get the shape of the chest right I was suffering immensely about that! Pumped up chests like that are so hard to find the perfect shapes for...
Then there's the anatomy portion. On the reference, I noticed a cylindrical form on the forearm (it's light yet noticeable) and I really want to know what that is. Which means I will be seeing this reference photo again soon (more on that later)
I think it is pretty fun to try to get a smooth surface without a blender or the smudge tool. I do not feel comfortable with ultra smooth surfaces on my art, even on studies such as these. Therefore, I'll keep the obvious brushstrokes and splatter brush (I was experimenting with brushes as you can see. The background and the splatter are from Ahmed Aldoori from Youtube.)

(Art): Some sketch I did after the cylinder exercise for a little break before I started the arm study.
A Senior messenger for the King of Hell himself. Back when he was a hot flash to the ladies, he thought it would be beneficial to do some wheelies on his moped to impress his crush, but all that accomplished was him falling into an endless abyss where he died due to screaming a lot. Now he is eternally serving his beloved king. 10 more excellent deliveries across Inferno and he might receive his very own wings!
So tomorrow,
(1) I will do an anatomy and form study on the forearm
(2) See what the fuck that dude's chest shape is about
(3) Take written notes on light and shadows
(4) More basic form renders and Photoshop exploration
(5) Rare fanart??
