Hey nice progress with the acrylic painting! I never knew you could do grisaille with acrylic. xD That's awesome.

@MikesQuest: Thanks for reading through mate - although you don't need to draw the arc - you just need to make sure the lengths are the same - just use a pen or something to visually measure it.
@Auroraborealis: Thanks for stopping by - doesn't grisaille just mean grayscale? I just did a grayscale underpainting and painted colour over the top was all. I've been pushing on with my book cover project in the background but am also still wanting to level-up my enviro skills. I've decided to do 100 architectural sketches. Here's the first one (The Hanging Temple in China): ![]() I also need to get back to doing Amit's EDR class at some point.

Hadn't done a figure study for a while - forgotten how much I enjoy figures:

Heh... I stand corrected. I meant the glazing colour over the tonal painting bit! :P Had been under the impression that acrylic was super opaque. XD *clueless*
Anyhoo, that figure study is awesome! Love the blue.

@Auroraborealis: Thank you and I'm sure you are not clueless but the acrylics I use (cheap ones) do have a degree of transparency so this allows for the underpainting approach.
OK so carrying on from my Shoutbox gruntings, I've been trying to see if I can make myself enjoy drawing architecture. Well I started off being terrified of it but although I'm not sure that I enjoy it yet - after doing 5 sketches, I'm not as scared as I used to be: ![]() ![]() ![]()

Quick still life of a teaspoon for tonight since I need to paint a teaspoon for this book cover I'm working on and because I've never done a still life in Clip Studio Paint before! Messed about with chalk brushes and then the smudge tool:

Those pen drawings are lovely.
Your acrylic paintings are also coming along nicely - I should try your grisaille underpainting technique :)

@Yenchi: Thanks :) I'm trying to shake my fear of drawing architecture. Yeah give the grisaille underpainting a go and show us dude - I'm planning to try some more too.
@NoodleInBox: Thanks! Steam study: ![]()

How did you manage to make the pen sketches look clean? I was wondering how you pull off those perspectives in your architectural sketches.
If you are reading this, I most likely just gave you a crappy crit! What I'm basically trying to say is, don't give up!

@John: I start off focussing on copying accurately first (Dorian Iten style), then I build on this with perspective work.

Hey Artloader, Ever heard of Daz3d studio? it's a free software that you can pose a figure in, maybe you could make good use of it ;)

@Fedodika: Hey thanks for the tip-off - yeah I've heard of it before but never tried it out - I must get round to it when time allows.
Having to go back a few steps on that book cover - I don't think it was obvious that the kettle was a kettle so I've changed the composition a bit. Here's a 3D block in I did in Blender to use as a reference for perspective and lighting (the side view should make the kettle more obvious hopefully): ![]() I'm a bit worried that my primary and secondary focal points compete too much (I want the viewer to look at the kettle first but I think it might be the mug they look at first). Any thoughts would be much appreciated.

I love how clean those pen drawings are, especially architectural sketch 4 & 5. Keep it up! :D

@Jackeloop: Thanks for the love :) I will do my best to keep it up!
Here's another architectural sketch - the accuracy near the top of the building is a bit off - got to go back and study more at the feet of Master Dorian Iten: ![]() ![]()

Solid environments and studies, your rendering style is nice. I especially like that pass you made in Blender, I'm a sucker for mood lighting in 3D.
