Wow! I have a blog. That's funny!
Little bit about myself:
I work from my home as freelancer, usually I do some character works.
But I don't work a lot because now I'm mostly trying to improve my fundamental skills.
So at the same time I study and practice almost everyday. I like chill and play a lot of Dota2 Sundays.
That's it.
So, this blog is going to be kind of sketchbook thing.
And I wanted to write some thoughts behind my images here.
Hopefully that will give some information to people who's trying to become better or just starting out and inspire.
Recently I bought "HOW TO DRAW" book by Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling which I highly recommend!
And doing some perspective exercises from that book and watching and following videos.
It's been only a month, but I feel like I'm already having some results.
I'm becoming more confident in my line drawings.
Here's some pencil drawings
I also tried some with pen
Here's some study from Michael Hampton's book, for now I'm just reviewing things that did before.
Some value and color study of torso. Usually I do this kind of study while I'm working on characters.
Goal is to analyze muscles and learn some shapes from the image and apply it to my work.
Each one took me 2 hours.
Facial features and portrait study from photo. I like to do them when I'm painting a portrait.
Then some material study they are good to understand colors.
I recommend study the material that u need to know. Not just randomly.
If you're working something includes gold and u don't know how to paint and have no idea about colors.
Then study some gold material and go back to your work.
Try to find image with 1 light source of easy to understand.
I did some of those studies while I'm working on this illustration and I feel like they helped me a lot.
Okey. Thanks for reading.
See you soon! Bye!
