Become Pretty Good At Drawing And Rendering The Human Figure

[Artloader]

Although art is not my fulltime occupation, I am pretty serious about getting better so I watched Amit's S.M.A.R.T. art goals video the other day and combined that with some stuff I learned over the years and have set myself the following goal:


"Become Pretty Good At Drawing And Rendering The Human Figure"


Motivational Art:

The art of Fenghua Zhong:  https://fenghuazhong.artstation.com/.
The art of Wei Feng:  https://fengweic12.artstation.com/.
The art of Ignacio Fernández Ríos:  https://pencracker.artstation.com/.


Success criteria:

1. Be able to construct realistic and fluid human figure poses from different angles.
2. Be able to construct the human figure in perspective.
3. Be able to accurately construct human anatomy (bone structure and musculature) from different angles.
4. Be able to render the 3D form of the human figure with values and colours.


End Date:

31 December 2016


Constraints:

1. I can realistically only allocate 1 hour a night to my art hobby.
2. I have to be in bed by 11:30pm every night otherwise I will burn out.


Current Work Velocity:

29 hours/month (but I will adjust this to 20 hours/month to factor in my comic project)
