Microwave it? Nonsense.
So this is my Sketchbook. It'll be a personal log to keep me focused and motivated. I've sacrificed quite a bit of everything to ensure that I develop the work ethic.
(Thread will get organized and rearranged to prevent spamming when updating.)
I type this out mainly to keep my own thoughts organized since I'm self teaching currently and to keep my goals on track realistically. (Really don't need to read.) Also it will help direct critiques since it will be more clear as to what I'm attempting on at the moment, but I keep an open mind!
My major aims currently as of March 2014 - (est.) August 2014
(一) Develop strong confident linework (no chicken-scratch) influenced by Kinu Nishimura, Akiman, Yoji Shinkawa, and Tetsuya Nomura (all whom I adore and must carry the torch) at the same time develop a style of mine that takes precedent eventually. And grow from there of course. (Lifetime)
(二) Developing the technical groundwork for proportions and anatomy.
-Face Studies, involving Eyes, Noses, Ears, Eyebrows, Head Shapes and eventually facial expression as intermediate.
-Body, Males vs Female, Figure Drawing, Hands and Feet. Eventually action poses and body in motion as intermediate, (foreshortening etc.)
(三) Develop a daily schedule and routine on top of Fu/Work. (Say No to Social) Mind + Body = Discipline. Chi = Focus
(四) Research practice routines for each anatomy studies for scheduling.
a) Heads - Schedule Done! (click to view) (b) Torso, Arms, Legs - Not yet © Hands, Feet - Not Yet
Perspectives, Creatures, Objects, Backgrounds, Color Theory in the future.
I'll start by posting my recent attempts so I can look back on them in the future.
Currently trying out eyes, some doodling involved before I settle into a schedule. Just something to get over the fear, finding a rhythm and having some fun. Constructive Criticism is very much welcome! (Figuring out how dropbox works too, testing if it loads after a while, etc. Maybe I'll just leave a link until I can sort it out.)
