Day 68: A Long Day
This worked out all right.
Time: One Hour
Music: Hands
You've gotten really good alarmingly fast.
:D
Day 69: Holy Jesus Baller
I can accept that this exists.
I can scarcely accept that I am responsible for it.
Time: 3 Hours
Music: The Rise of Luna
...wait what? How did that happen? °_°
Whoa! :smalleek:
Day 70: Despair
I can't deny it any longer. I can't put off this decision. God help me, I wish I'd found the strength to make it sooner. If I had, all those people might still be alive.
That night changed me. I didn't want to believe it, I wanted to pretend it was different, but it's true. I am a vampire. I drink human blood in order to survive. And I enjoy it. And I've enjoyed it for far too long.
I'd take this chance to say goodbye, but I've already killed everyone I'd say goodbye to.
So I guess this is 'hello' instead.
(Picture notes: I was having trouble finding a model in that pose, so I photographed myself in the position and used that for reference. Could do with more work - don't know un-shirted anatomy - but I'm out of time.)
Time: 1 hour 15 mins
Music: St. James Infirmary
...
Teh art progress singularity iz upon us! Run for your liiiiives!
I think I levelled up or something.
Day 71: Crackin'
I somehow stonewalled myself when it came to finding a shading technique I liked for this. Picked something at random and experimented with it. Mixed results, need to experiment more.
Time: 2 Hours 15 Mins
Music: Tipitina
Hands may or may not be the wrong size - my hands are gigantic, so I'm sorta bad at judging these things.
I am no artist but I do believe there are a few misproportion.
The head seems slightly too small, either that the torso and arms slightly too longa and the ahnd indeed a little too small.
The knee ,on the leg that is slightly bended, is too high.
I could be wrong, mind you.
Duly noted! :smallsmile:
Day 72: Supreme Deregulation
Hey guys, I figured out transparency.
Other notes: Noticed that heads aren't nearly as spherical as I've been expecting, hands are haaaaaaaaaaaaaard, monocles are excellent, this was rushed due to time constraints. Overall, not too bad a result.
Time: 1 Hour
Music: Lower The Moon (Eurobeat Descent)
Needs a more square chin and a bigger hand. :smallwink:
Day 73: Dead Tree Edition
No access to Inspired, my core computer, and the tablet today so I had to do some ancient style sketching. Now I know how cavemen felt.
where are my layers
where is my ctrl-z
On the upshot, various symbol and eye design amidst other things!
Time: ~2 hours spent sketching
Music: My friend, I heard naught but ze sound of progress.
Day 74: This Guy Looks Legit
We should totally give him total control over our galactic empire, guys.
Quick one tonight. The moustache is meant to look ridiculously fake.
Time: 45 Minutes
Music: River Town
Day 75: Vote Hugh Man!
Kisses babies and is not a Drengin.
Time: 1 Hour
Music: Take On Me
Day 75a: Vote Hugh Man!
Or else.
Fight the powah! Fight the heavy-handed narrator-pushed candidates!
In other news, I've went through this thread now and jeesh. It's giving me hope that maybe one day I'll learn to draw as well. I need to practice more, but there's just never enough time...
Congratulations on the progress. :smallsmile:
Hugh Man is getting the support from my corner because he basically writes himself :smallbiggrin:
And thank you very much :smallsmile: As usual, the greatest thing to ever come of this thread is when people say they're going to follow this path. Really, even if it's a daily scribble, it's still worth doing. Doing is just better in every respect to not doing. Some days are earmarked as quick-sketch days, some I have more time to meander around and experiment - and experimentation helps so much.
I'm also starting to get to a level where I'll be able to include more illustrations in the LP. There's a few scenes in particular I've got planned out in my head :smallwink:
Day 76: "And tomorrow, madame, you shall still be ugly."
Winston Churchill was a great guy.
Made this one a bit too broad at the shoulder, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with how it resolved.
Time: 1 Hour 15 Minutes
Music: Thunderball
Day 77: Kabbalah
Stayed up late but it was worth it. Learned several interesting things from this, some stuff to do, some stuff not to do. Also, I still hate hands but I'm gradually, gradually improving at them.
Time: 1 hour
Music: Make It Rain (by Setu Firestorm; couldn't find a link)
Day 78: Burnin' Fate Points To Keep Warm
I was going to do something else. Then I got the idea to cross Ponies and Rogue Traders.
Time: 1 Hour
Music: Spark
Day 79: Outlaw
Just a quick sketch today. It's late.
Time: 35 Minutes
Music: Bells of New York City
Day 80: The Angry Box
She's gonna Get you.
Character is Jayden Mavel, somewhat progressed since last we saw her.
EDIT: Minor fixes
Time: 1 1/2 Hours
Music: Radio Nowhere
Still goin' strong! The main thing I'd see in this current image is that the outstretched arm looks a little flat because you haven't put any shadows on it like on the face.
What are you currently using to draw these? Are you 100% digital? I've been playing around with my current software looking for the one that feels the most comfortable, but all of them have some niggles that is making it hard to choose which to stick with.
Yeah, realised that a bit late. A quick edit should fix it! :smallsmile:
I'm still 100% digital; this entire recent set has been done in Corel. I figure I can start looking into the labyrinthine monster that is Photoshop on a need-to-know basis. I do almost everything with the fine point pen tool (1.5 size for my skeletons and 2.6 for my main linework). Most other tools seem to have weird side effects.
I typically make any picture 2x the desired resolution when starting off so that the minor line imperfections get smoothed over in the resize, and because having a nice big canvas is reassuring and cuddly. I've put the wash/water tools aside in favour of solid fills and the transparency slider, which perform the desired function with none of the annoying side effects. It feels like a pretty decent setup for the level I'm at; I'm not fighting the interface any more, just grabbing my pen and going for it.
Day 80a: Out Of The Angry Box
Uh oh. Now she's a pony.
Now we're screwed.
