Hello everybody! I'm Alex, from Brazil. Long story short, I'm a psychology student that don't want to be a psychologist. I'm almost finishing college, but what I really like is creating art. So I'm in a journey to become a professional artist, or at least achieve a reasonably good level so I can finish college and be able to focus on art.
This being said, here is some studies I have done these days. Any feedback is highly appreciated.
These gestures are from 30 seconds to 5 minutes
All these are 2 minutes, I'm trying here to use less lines for sketching, avoinding scribling.
~40 minutes
~20 minutes
Trying to learn color
~ 1 hour
I'm updating with some landscapes studies I have done. I'm having a hard time on these, I guess I'll have to do at least a hundred more to start to understand what I'm doing...
This one I liked more, it was more fun working from imagination. (the others were done using photo reference)
Heeeey mate. Welcome to the daggers. You did a great start here ;) I look forward to see more stuff from you coming anytime soon. Cheers!
Hey Ramalooke, thanks! Really appreciate your comment.
Here are a couple more studies I have done, bit by bit I'm feeling I'm improving :)
Both were done in about 2 hours. The landscape is from photo reference and the other is a master study from Sargent.
Really long time since the last post! I was very busy trying to finish college :D Now I'm back to stay, I hope to work hard and improve along with you guys :) I'm sharing some things I did this last semester and studies I did this week. Feedback is appreciated! Thanks!
First some values studies, having a hard time. I had no idea what I'm doing in that ear.
Here are some characters I did for facebook group "sketchbox"
This one I was just trying to do some imagination concept, but I am now way beyond my confort zone. I don't like this composition and don't think the values are good, so I'm not thinking to finish this, though it was fun experiment.
Thanks again for stopping by!
Keep studying those values! Here's a great tutorial I found the other day with the Crimson Daggers Reference thread:
