Eduardo: my bro, so i did a lot of takes on this thing and just ended up using 2d for the whole thing lol; I'm not really patient enough to learn 3d at the moment, but i gave it an honest try; watching blender tutorials and stuff. I think once i can get some commissions i'll save up and get z-brush and keyshot and all that good stuff cuz i think learning hard surface design would be fun, plus i don't get too sick of it :). Thanksh, you wouldn't believe how many pictures of beautiful women are on my harddrive, oogling them has become a passtime of mine haha;
Bjork: I think i'm getting a lot of the proportion stuff sorted out just through learning perspective, but I really am gonna fix it in february; Thanksh! Ended up not using the 3d, but will come back to it later this year, i wanna try using Sculptris to make some creatures or dragons or sth;
Soooo, i learned a lot of things this month... one thing is why many people who do improve don't say much when they post; it's just like... Do the work you know, things will kind of align and solve many of your own issues. Anyways, yea i focused on learning from Scott Robertson this month, drawing a lot of mechanical stuff in perspective. Lots of sketching... Tough shit,
But i really have fallen in love with this approach! Next month it's just portraits only and push that further; It is a strength of mine I believe, but not good enough to land a commission; That's the goal this year is to get my first commission, even if it's for 100$ or sth, i'd love to draw something for someone, would be an honor! And it has to be from a stranger who admires my work on their own, not a family member or sth. But I do think it's gonna happen this year, i can't be mediocre forever.
I'm also laying out a schedule for this year of things to do
Jan- perspective
Feb- Portaits
March-Anatomy front and hands
April- Anatomy back and feet
May- creatures or monsters or sth, and i dunno for the rest of the year.
Just keep trying something random or crazy and keep struggling to get good at everything which is what i really wanna do, have a lot of versatility! But focus is key, and this month i've learned a fuckload, and I've never felt so optimistic about a new year!
First things will be sketches and studies, Then painted studies, then work on the big piece i researched and worked up to all this month, I guess I am satisfied with it, but it always looks much cooler in my head; it's getting closer for sure :)
Just month after month i wanna keep one upping myself, it is the best feeling to keep working hard, i love it, even though it's gotten me nothing tangible; I love to see myself grow as an individual.
Anyways, I dunno if i'll post throughout february, but i def will at the end. stay alive my friendz <3
oh and ps thx smrrfette for all the help and support <3 XX
