AfricanVoodoo's Sketchbook

[AfricanVoodoo]

Yo yo yo!




Even though I did not have a very cheery week, I can at least depend on the weekend to recollect some thoughts on my future and school and art and being successful and having money and bitches...

(Art): While I was doing that bullshit, I tried to do some doodling to take a break from all the value studies and realism. (It gets boring rendering...)

 I wanted to draw Mario and Luigi if it was in my own style of drawing. I was a little more serious with the Luigi page since I wanted to see if the brush I was using was A-Okay with me. I love the brush but the amount of clean-up you have to do afterwards is going to kill me! Which means I have to improve my linework even more! (Reminds me of those brush pens... ugh)

.... That reminds me, I should do a post on the effects of fanart on another post...



(Art): Some mercenary lizard dagger-holding person thingy. I dunno, I randomly wanted to do this out of no where and I REALLY enjoy where this is going. I hope I won't drop this anytime soon. If you guys have ANY critiques at all, I NEED THEM! Roast me!

Anyways, I'll lower the opacity on the skull and then draw on top of it again to give it some of my own flare because it looks too... real for me(?) I just want that sketchy and exaggerated feeling to it like the bird skull on his shoulder. I might change it to a more Neanderthal looking skull with very pronounced eyebrow ridges. (shrugs)



(Art): Like I promised last post two posts ago oopsie, I did a quick little anatomy study of the forearm. The glowing part of the forearm was pretty much the biggest forearm muscle and the only one that pops out without flexing. I also learned where most of the shapes and overlaps displayed in most comics come from. Like when we see the front of the arms right under the bicep, artists tend to draw a sharp curve from the right side (our right)  to indicate the big forearm muscle.

I also found out the shape of the dude's chest... looks like a tilted rectangle I suppose...? It was just too hard to paint I guess.



(Art): Fuck it... this was in my Imugr since The Great Depression just take it.
